** I want to thank my friends over at Lane Bryant for sponsoring this post. **Can you believe it’s February already! February is always one of my favorite months as brands start to drop their new arrivals for Valentine’s Day as well as starting to promote spring styles. This month, I’m partnering with Lane Bryant to style a look from their new arrivals. My style lately has been more casual and relaxing so this is what I was looking for when I checked out the latest from Lane Bryant. I instantly fell in love with the Hooded Zip Front Jacket. This lightweight tan beauty…
Hello Samples! I know it has been forever to I touched-base with you all. Working in the pandemic and getting back to teaching full-time has taken a toll on your girl. This pandemic has taken a toll on me. I must admit that working during this pandemic and getting back to teaching full-time has really impacted me. This past year has put me in a funk which has taken me a while to get out of. My love for fashion had declined and my drive seemed to be non-existent. However, I am starting to see the light at the end…
Hey Samples! It’s official now, Spring has Sprung! You all know what this means, right? It is time to bring on all of the colors and let it all hang out ….. or just the legs..lol. Colors always bring me joy and lighten my mood; if you all can not tell, my excitement is high. In order to kick off Spring, I am bringing you a Spring brunch vibe. I was gifted the Printed Duster from ELOQUII. When I saw this duster, it was a must have. I love Coral. It is something about Coral that screams Springtime to me. Due…
Since “Hot Girl Summer” was officially cancelled in 2020, your girl is trying to bring in a “Hot Girl Spring” for 2021. With E-V-E-R-Y color under and around the rainbow, I plan to bring you sassy looks this Spring. First up, this cute tie-dye dress from one of my favorite boutiques (Sassy Kurves Boutique).In the boutique world, this dress style has been very popular for the last 3 years. This dress comes in a variety of tie-dye prints and colorful triangle color block patterns. When I saw this beautiful yellow number, I knew it was a must have. When I…
This month, I want to thank my friends at Lane Bryant for Sponsoring this post. Lane Bryant has shown their support and solidarity with the LGBTGIA+ community for many years. This year, Lane Bryant is donating $30K to GLSEN to support children in school. There is no secret when it comes to my love of colors. I have shared with you lovely people several times that I want to be Rainbow Brite in my next life….lol… This month is extra special to me as I show my love of colors as well as being an ongoing ally for my friends and…
This past year has made me sit back and evaluate life. I remember someone stating if you make it past the 7 year mark in a marriage, then the rest is smooth sailing. When I think of the relationship with The Real Sample Size (TRSS), I constantly think of giving up. The industry has changed in the past 6 years which has me constantly rethinking my purpose in this space. The pandemic has taken a toll on us all and had us to rethink all ways of life. I love style and fashion but my heart has been strained for…
*This post is sponsored by my friends as Lane Bryant*Can you believe it is that time of the year? It is time to head “Back to School” as an Educator. At the beginning of the school year, finding the appropriate attire for work may be a challenge after a Summer full of tube tops and swimsuits. Going back into the classroom, post-quarantine, can have our style lacking, but don’t fret because we have you covered. Lane Bryant definitely has style-seeking Educators covered. They know that cute and comfortable looks are definitely a must-have, this school year. When I was looking for…
Growing up I always wanted to have some great girlfriends but I struggled a lot making friends in my younger years. I was bullied heavily through school and I didn’t quite fit in. I was quite awkward (mainly because I lacked confidence from all the bullying) and I didn’t look like the rest of the girls in my class (or my school). I was always bigger and I was a giant. Now I see those as what makes me me and I celebrate it. Now imagine how amazing it feels to have such a great group of girlfriends who are…
* I have partnered with Pantene on this post. All opinions expressed are my own.* My hair has always been my thing and as a Boss babe who is always on the go with a lot of things to worry about in a day, the ingredients in my hair products shouldn’t be one of them. Pantene’s new Rose Water collection is sulfate free, paraben free, dye free and mineral oil free – perfect for my coloured hair! I’ve always loved Pantene products and it’s actually what’s stocked in my Fitness Studio for my clients to use after their workout. So, when I found out about Pantene’s new Rose Water…
Growing up I never saw women like me in media, in the gym, in fashion or anywhere really. I had no where to shop, I had meltdowns in change rooms with my mom when nothing would fit – I was a size 12 at 12 and I’ve been 5’11 with a 36 inch inseam since grade 7. I also never saw anyone in fitness like me – if I were going to go to the gym I thought I had to get skinny before I even tried, I had to be obsessive about working out and my ‘food plan’ and…
