Ok ok..I get it! I may be taking a lot more weight on this journey than expected...but hear me out! FULL DISCLOSURE! I am a bit lazy at times and the procrastinator in me usually hits the snooze button for my "Wake up and Exercise" alarm in the AM. Given that I am too mentally drained to even have a conversation with the rest of my body in the first place I am slowly, yet surely, allotting time to rest adequately! So now, I am ready to commit to a lifestyle change that has been needed for a very long time. My body has been talking...and I am finally listening! The universe certainly has a way of aligning your expectations with your reality. So there I was, minding my own business on social media, when up popped the Biggest Loser Challenge ad by CJ Fitness . The lightbulb went off! FINALLY!!! Something that I can handle with my current work schedule (Let's not even get into that) AND the fitness centre is a 10mins drive away from my home at  Energie Antigu...

More often than not, we see a very cute outfit online, purchase it, try it on, thennnnnnn...HATE IT!!!  Why? Because the body type of the woman modelling this cute outfit is TOTALLY different to the voluptuous temple that you carry around on a daily basis!  Check out these side-by-side comparisons of outfits from House of Pink worn by the Online Model vs. In_REAlyfe Model .  NB: Me nar chy compare who look bettah dan who! So nah come fuh me! ( In my Antiguan tone )  Please see my stats below before you check out the side-by-side images: -------------------- This Sookie Maxi Dress is one of my favorites!!

I am also wearing a Size 3X here. Can't be all GLAM and not have a few casual pieces in your wardrobe! ...

I've been longing to get glammed up,because I've been so caught up planning the   Lady Horsepower Farm   LadyMex Workshop  that comes up on Sunday 13th October 2019. As per usual,  House of Pink  reached out to get me fitted for upcoming events and such! It's always fun playing dress up!   Soooo...my first stop was the Barber! [I'll do a separate blog on these guys who crack me up on a regular!] I was in the process of growing my hair because I've missed having them braided! Pfftt....there goes that plan! I'm kinda glad that I gave my head the  dog seed  special [will talk about that in another post], because these selfies would not have screamed BUTTAZ if I hadn't. Meep! Next stop,  MAKE UP !! For my most recent appearances, I've summoned the lovely Daveile Payne •  The Glam Muse  to enhance what's already perfect!  *flicks scalp*   Huge shout out to my chocolate gum drop and Melanin ...
