With this in mind, I decided to make this… Read More Men’s Fashion: What Does B.B. Like?
The quest for me to write more is underway. I was proud of myself for having multiple posts in the “hopper” ready for the “publish” button until I proofread one of them.

When I decided to proclaim being a self-love promoter, I didn’t know what it truly meant. I started this blog with the mindset of focusing on the importance of showing ourselves love when others don’t accept us because of how we look or how much we weigh. I still believe we should love ourselves despite… Read More I’m a Fraud, I Haven’t Practiced What I Preached, But Now I’ve Repented: Confessions of a So-Called Self-Love Advocate
The fact that I like clothes isn’t a secret. I find enjoyment in locating items that fit my personality and style in my size.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Have you ever had to rebuke… Read More I’m Still Learning to Love Myself: Confessions of a Self-Love Advocate
After some thought and consideration of my time, I decided to share everything I wore this week in one post on the blog instead of trying to share pictures daily.

The thought to write about comparing came to my mind about a week or so ago.
