I used to be afraid of thrift stores. Before I found out that the quality often depends on the area that the thrift store is in, I was concerned about the quality of merchandise in thrift stores. It’s very possible to find new items with tags in the thrift store as well. I had an [...]
If you’re a fashionista, you might want to consider not just shopping at exclusively plus size stores. Sometimes you find more unique items in stores that sell plus but aren’t known for plus. You’re also less likely to see someone else wearing the same outfit. I used to shop places that go up to just [...]
Searching for the right childcare provider is one of the toughest decisions a parent has to make but taking your time and asking the right questions will work in your favor. At the end of last month I went on a job interview and got hired on the spot. This was wonderful news but bad [...]
It’s amazing how recently I’ve met people within the fashion industry that take a look at my modeling website and they love what I’ve done and they feel like I’ve done so much. I’m not going to dispute that, but until I reach my goal I’ll always think of it as small potatoes. That’s not [...]

I’ve been designing flyers for a certain woman for about 2 years now. I’ll be redesigning her website soon. Despite working with her, I never knew her full story. I knew she was wheelchair bound. I knew she was CEO of a company, Sunshine Project H.E.L.P, that provides help and training to those with spinal [...]
This post is taken from my post on Examiner.com. On July 23rd, I had the privilege of being part of a panel discussion on View Points with Michele, an Access 21 show. The discussion was about “Phat Fashion vs the American Girl Next Door”. On the panel was myself, host Michele, Todd Albaum – owner [...]
Being on many pregnancy websites, I’ve seen some of the greatest debates over personal choices like circumcision, scheduling a c-section, piercing a baby girl’s ears, and vaccinations.
