Holiday Gift Guide – Top 20 Nordstrom Canada Gifts Under $100

November 17, 2021
plus size canada gift guide, how to wear a pleated skirt when you have a belly

Here we are, my very first-holiday gift guide of the 2021 – and it’s from Nordstrom Canada. No surprises there because you know shopping at Nordstrom is my jam! Honestly, I cannot believe we are headed to 2022. Like what? This year flew by, but the good news is we are just a few weeks away from the most “wonderful time of year.” The time where we get to create even more memories with our family, eat a lot of food, and exchange gifts for those who celebrate Christmas.

Like in previous years, I like to beat the crowd and get my gifts and everything I need ahead of time to spend as much time enjoying the holidays as possible. This is not the year to be last minute as there are shipping delays, and you don’t want to be the person that blames Santa.

Happy new friends! I was hoping that things would be better by 2021, but here we are. Same story, different day, right? I am still trying to keep a positive attitude as we are in a second lockdown now. I know many people are not doing well right now, but If you have a roof over your head, can eat three meals a day, consider yourself blessed.

Now let’s move on to the happy stuff! I don’t know about you but doing a little retail therapy always keeps my mind off. Since no one knows when life will go back to normal, I try to purchase pieces that are not only nice but super comfortable. Oh, and don’t forget affordable.

How are you guys holding up? Today is quarantine day #20308 and I am close to losing my mind. Keeping up with feeding the baby, cooking, and monitoring the kid’s homework is taking a toll on me. Learning from the news today that this might be our new normal for the next 3 months did not make things better. Thankfully the weather is starting to get be better which means time to venture into the backyard for some fresh air. I do hope we’re all practicing social distancing in order to flatten the curve.

plus-size sequins dresses for the -holidays-christmas- new years eve

 Happy to be kicking off the holiday shopping post series. You’re probably thinking it’s not even Thanksgiving yet why are we talking about plus size holiday party dresses?  Well for one, I find myself dressing up way more than usual during the last two months of the year. With countless of parties (Thanksgiving family dinners, office get-togethers, cocktails, Christmas parties) on the horizon, the last thing I want to do is to worry about is what I am going to wear. If you’re already stressing over what to wear to all the parties happening and looking for a dress option then you’ve come to the right place.

Favorite Toys at Walmart

November 20, 2019

Are you a good gifter? I am asking because I feel like every year I struggle to find the perfect gift for the adults in my family. Hence the reason why I rarely do gift guides on this blog. I promise you, the longer you know someone the harder it is to find a gift for them. Adults like what they like and that rarely changes. On the other hand, kids are easier to please in my book because as they grow every year their interests also change. That means you have a million toys to choose from.

10 Pieces You Need From The Anthropologie Plus Size Line This Spring

March 15, 2019
Anthropologie plus size

Anthropologie plus size? I must admit this news took me by surprise a couple of weeks ago when I saw an article breaking the news. I have browsed the Anthropologie site many times before wanting a few pieces but could not fit them. Granted they went up to xl which means that I could only fit in it if the dress or top was loose enough. Today’s post is all about my favorite pieces from the Anthropologie plus size line.

I am so happy that they did not come with just 5 pieces to test the waters. This is a full-blown 120-Piece collection. The line is called Aplus and it’s filled with plenty of boho style tops and skirts to make you want to pull out your credit card and start shopping. The sizing is also very generous. If you wear anything from 16W – 26W you are in luck. The the collection is currently available in 10 stores across the US and Canada, as well as their website.

As much as I am excited about Anthropologie’s plus size line, I am equally nervous because so many plus size lines have come and gone including one that I helped launched just a couple of years ago. Hoping that never happens or at least before it does let’s check out some of my favorite pieces.

10 Cute Plus Size Workout Clothes To Jump-Start Your New Year’s Resolution

January 13, 2019
Assa cisse plus size workout clothes walmart review

I have a confession to make. Well! I have a slight obsession with athleisure or cute plus size workout clothes in general. The athleisure trend excluded plus-size women for the longest time. Now that we have tons of options, excuse me while I indulge a little bit.

January is the time of the year most of us reevaluate and set new goals. As a busy mother, it can be difficult to fit in exercise, although I know how important it is for both your body and mind.  So one of my goals this year is to make exercising fun! Whether that is going on walks at the park, climbing, snowshoeing or other fun activities. I do not want to focus on going to the gym only. What better way to start than to invest in some cute plus size workout clothes.
