G-string, tanga, cheeky, hipster, bikini, boybrief, boyshort, and, of course, hi-waisted AKA granny panties. The options are there for all body types and sizes. And, plenty of times, what we gravitate toward as young twenty-something hopefuls could drastically change...
This is not a feel-good post about how I finally learned to accept my love handles or my stretch marks. This is literally a post about my skin, and how, through trial and error, I have found solutions to...
The COVID pandemic of 2020 started a fashion revolution. Well, at least for me, it did. As a professional in the assisted living business, I’ve been lucky enough to be working throughout every phase of lockdown, still needing to...
Back in March, which seems like a lifetime ago as much as it feels like yesterday, I decided to focus on my skin care routine which, up until this time, was none. I had a lot of time on...
“I don’t know how you’re wearing those heels!”
Man! If I had a nickel every time someone said this. I am THAT girl. I have always been THAT girl. In my mind, the occasion always called for me to dress...
