Happy February Curvy Cuties!  February is one of the most special months of the year. It is not only the month we celebrate Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, but it is also the month of my birth. (Hhhheeeeyyyy!)  Birthday preparations and plans will be discussed later.  Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand; Monthly Goals for this month.

Last month I decided to document my blogging goals as a way of holding myself accountable for the success or failure of Curvy Intuition.  I originally started Curvy Intuition as a creative outlet and I never would have thought that I would experience the enjoyment of sharing my life with all of you!  But, I do.  I really do!   This blog allows me to be ME!  Its liberating!

February Blogging Goals

• Increase my social media followers by 100. This month I am going to engage with other bloggers and readers on social media.  Through participation in groups, twitter chats and the creation and development of my Tumblr and Pinterest pages I believe this is achievable.  In addition, I will develop my presence on Snapchat and Instastories. 
• Create About Me Page. To take Curvy Intuition to the next level; it was vital that I have a Blogger Audit completed.  I enlisted the assistance of Miami based company Candid Consulting to perform the audit.  I was delighted with the results and was able to obtain more insight of what my blog requires to be successful.  One thing that was insisted was the creation of an About Me Page.  Writing about oneself can be an overwhelming task.  However, I really want you all to get to know me and vice versa.
• Take more Pictures! Here is a little secret about me.  I never really liked pictures.  Odd isn’t it?  This blog is about FASHION and lifestyle.  Which means, pictures are required and essential   I have battled with my weight for most of my life.  I became self-conscious and I avoided the camera every chance I got!  I am on a quest to love myself more, which includes my BODY. Through pictures you will be able to get a closer look of my style, my obsession with shoes, bag and of course comfortable clothes.     
• Blog Consistently: Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Blogging consistently goes back to Time Management for me.  Plan, Research and Execute!  Devotion of time to plan my content for the month, do the necessary research and finally to write and edit my posts in advance.
• Engage More Often with Other Bloggers and Readers. Developing relationships with other bloggers and YOU is a major goal!  I participated in live tweeting last month which resulted in additional readers and followers.  I have never done live tweeting before, but I must admit it was fun and I met other bloggers as well.  Psssss…I live tweet Scandal every Thursday!

 

What are your goals for this month?

 

Happy New Year Curvy Cuties!  I hope you had a wonderful and exciting New Years!  I took a few weeks off after Christmas to relax and enjoy the holidays. The Mr. and I spent New Year’s weekend in Boston at his cousins wedding.  It was truly a beautiful wedding.  We spent the remainder of the weekend enjoying good food, having deep conversations and discussing our goals for this year.

Now, if you are a professional woman or better yet a woman in general; you would never leave the house without a satchel filled with small life saving items like a safety-pin to larger items like planners or iPad.   One thing that we can not live without is the make-up bag.  I am not a fan of having a ten pound make-up.  I prefer to only have carry the essentials.  Here are 10 Essentials that every woman should have in her make-up bag.

Sundays are one of the most difficult days for me. Why you ask? Simply because it is the day before Monday. Weekends go by so quickly, however I think it is important to take time out for myself. I have a regular Sunday evening routine, which helps me prepare for the week ahead. I start my routine two hours before bedtime which is usually around 8pm.

Warm Bath or Shower

I start by playing soft music, lighting a few scented candles and adding lavender scented bubble bath. Sometimes I relax my mind and take a light snooze, or catch up on some reading. After my bath I moisturize my skin with a Cocoa and Shea butter lotion and I add a few drops of an essential oil.
