    What’s in My Weekend Getaway Makeup Bag?

    My husband’s family lives in Cleveland, so we take quite a few weekend trips. (5 hour drives!) I remember the first time we went for the weekend. I took the BIGGEST makeup bag with me. I was thinking I would want to do some really unique things all weekend and stay on top of things…but the truth is, I stuck to a pretty basic look all weekend and could have brought less than HALF of what I did. This time, I really worked on travel sizes, not bringing duplicates of things (like 400 lipsticks) and multi-tasking pieces. My Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette is a bronzer, highlight and blusher all…

As I had imagined, it was one of the highest chosen options. This week, I am bringing an Amber Riley inspired outfit. Most people know her from Glee and if they follow any form of celebrity fashion news, you will know that Amber is continually awarded for being one of the best dressed. She is curvy and fabulous.

    Casual Plus Size Yankees Outfit

    “I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.”—Babe Ruth   Ladies, it’s baseball season. Of course, baseball season for a Yankees fan is generally 3/4 of the year…but baseball season is my favorite. Living in Indiana, I don’t have the joy of having my favorite team nearby. (Luckily, I can still cheer on our Minor league team in the city, the Indianapolis Indians!) The reason I’m letting you know all this? To tell you about my favorite article of clothing, of course! It’s my Yankees baseball-style t-shirt. I got it at Old Navy. I have gotten a lot of awesome, plus size…
