Details of this Maxi Dress here
I am currently sitting and facing the window of my office looking at an ice storm like we are not officially in Spring. On this side of the world, it seems as though mother nature has forgotten about us. While others in New York are enjoying days in T-shirt, we are getting ready to break the ice from the driveway. Since I been stocked home since Friday I have decided to put together a list of my favorite plus size maxi dresses of the season. Read More »
Do you want to know what my kids’ favorite thing is during the weekend? Waking up to a yummy breakfast instead of the usual cereals they get during the week. In this case, they helped me put the final touches to these crepes hence the all over the place drippings.
I have a lot of gadgets in my kitchen. I will be lying if I say that I use them all because I do not. I do love the ones I go back to over and over again. Before getting the Vitamix E310 a few weeks ago, I used a blender from Cuisinart that was given to me as a wedding gift 12 years ago. I know what you must be thinking, who keeps a gadget for that long. Well! I did and used it until I got my hands on the Vitamix E310 Explorian. That’s when I realized that I have been using a very outdated machine. What used to take me 5 minutes to make only takes 30 seconds now. Say what? Read More »
I’ve finally decided to write an extensive post about plus size rompers and jumpsuits.. I know they are not everyone’s cup of tea because they can be quite intimidating. Today, I would like to address the two main questions I get from you guys. The first is “where to buy plus size rompers and jumpsuits?”. The second is “how to find the right one for your shape and size?” I am actually shocked that I never addressed those questions in any of my previous posts. Well ! It’s never too late.
The answer is everywhere. Almost all the retailers I shop from (Eloquii, Nordstrom, Forever 21, Reitmans, Addition Elle, New York & Co, Old Navy, Asos, Amazon, H&M) carry them at the some point in time during the year. Read More »
“Hi, My name is Assa Cisse, a Toronto based lifestyle influencer. My blog, My Curves & Curls aims to inspire and educate women and girls around the world about loving their bodies.” These are the two sentences I use to introduce my blog to brands and other influencers. If someone had told me 20 years ago that I would own a blog that aimed at educating women and girls about self-esteem and confidence, I would have called them crazy. It never even crossed my mind. Why? Because I had low self-esteem growing up, which affected every part of my life. I can share with you hundreds of instances where my low self-esteem held me back from getting ahead. Even though things are much better now, there are still days where everything goes left. Read More »

These past few weeks got me feeling like Spring. Mother Nature teased us just a bit and then we are now back in winter. I am already done with spring cleaning my closet but have done little shopping to fill the gap. To be honest, I have been busy roaming around decor and furniture stores because we are ready to decorate our living room. I cannot wait to tell you all about it in future posts as this post is all about the latest plus size Spring pieces you need in your closet.

This post is all about the side of blogging you do not see.Well, that is not necessarily true because if you follow me on Instagram Stories, you might have seen a snippet of these events and even some of the pr packages I have received over January and February. This is my chance to share unbiased and honest reviews of the products that I’m gifted by Pr companies on behalf of brands.Nothing in this post is sponsored in any shape or form. I do have a whole lot of things to share. However, It’s best if I keep these posts to a minimum of 2 to 3 products. Please note that I will also review some of the them individually, so keep an eye out. Read More »
After blogging for many years, the question about where to buy affordable plus size clothing in Canada still pops up on my feed now and then. To be honest, this question is a little hard to answer because what might be affordable to me might not be for you.We can least agree that a piece of clothing under $50 is affordable to most. If you’re a long time reader, you already know most of the items I wear on this blog are accessible to everyone.

Imagine booking a vacation and your entire family ends up getting sick just a few days before your trip. That’s exactly what happened to us last December. I had our hotel booked in Quebec City, suitcases almost packed and boom; one of my little munchkin comes home with a stomach bug. To make matters worse my husband also came home from a business trip with a nasty cold. The kind that made him stay in bed for days. If I am honest that was a blessing in disguise because he needed to slow down a bit. Besides, I am sure he enjoyed being taken care of for a few days. Read More »
Happy Monday loves! Last week, I took over the Insta Stories of Shoppers Drugmart to share my quick and easy skin care routine. Talk about going through all kind of emotions. I am super nervous everytime I step in front of a camera to tape a video. Thankfully everything went well and the feedback from those who follow my stories have been positive. For those who missed the broadcast, I thought it would be nice to write a blog post to share all the details. The evening skincare routine I am about to share is for every woman who is living a busy life. If your evening skincare requires a lot of products and steps, nothing wrong with that. On Sundays, there are a few extra steps I take, since I have a little bit more time. Read More »
