There were several great questions submitted here on the blog and on theFacebook Pageand {woohoo} it makes my job a whole lot easier knowing exactly the issues you girls are dealing with in your closets! In today’s webisode, I tackle 3 great topics:
What to pair with navy?
How to layer without looking like you added 10 lbs?
What’s a cute outfit to wear to my kids games instead of my typical yoga pants?
{Navy is for the fashionista not just the corporate biz man}
{Key to layering= wear thin fabrics}
{No yoga pants except to yoga class}
Wishing you plenty of blue skies, leopard print, red lipstick and bouncin’ & behavin’ hair to make you happy the rest of the week!

When you close your eyes and think of the word, ABUNDANCE, what comes to mind? Here is Webster’s definition:
a·bun·dance [noun] 1.an extremely plentiful or oversufficient quantity or supply. 2.overflowing fullness
This week, my wish for all of us, is that we stop and appreciate the abundance in our lives. It is not about how fat our bank account is or the “things” we acquire. Abundance is feeling vibrant, alive and fully living each day with love and passion. It’s about enjoying the simple moments, the unexpected blessings that make life beautiful and most importantly, being grateful for what we have! Life is short. I watch so many people wasting their lives away trying to get more, do more and earn more money– yet they can’t maintain healthy relationships and their aging themselves too quickly because they are all work and no play. I was one of those people and almost became a drug addict because of it. My resume, the networks and producers I worked for, the size of my paycheck, the Gucci hangbag on my arm and the SUV I drove was my definition of abundance….BOY, did I have it all wrong!
THIS WEEK, I WILL….
Not lower myself by participating in gossip.
Be an encourager instead of a critic.
Get my glow on by eating a serving of blueberries every morning.
Dance, paint, sing or do whatever that makes me feel free.
Rock a dash of leopard print.
Shine my light because the world needs it.
Schedule my workouts as if they are an important meeting.
Simplify my life + clear the clutter wherever it needs it.
Drink a glass of lemon water upon rising before my coffee or tea.
Say a prayer of gratitude for my abundant life.
Release all fears + doubts and GO FOR IT!
{Daily Serving of Blueberries}
{Dash of Leopard Print}
{Shine On}
I would love to hear your comments on how these weekly affirmations have been effective in your life.
We’re in this together!
If you see a sister who’s spark is dim this week, help her out by fanning her flame and be an encouragement instead of a critic.
As many of us are in the quest to reach our goal weight and optimal fitness- how far is too far? Can a woman get too ripped?
Hmmmm?
In this candid, behind-the-scenes webisode, Plus Size Expert Marcy Guevara and Makeup Artist Vio Meyners chat about whether or not female TV Hosts should reveal their bare arms on camera. They bring up how ripped Kelly Ripa’s arms are and if that makes her unrelatable to viewers.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? COMMENT BELOW!
Here’s my two cents:
I actually love a sexy, toned, muscular arm on a woman! Over the years, I have gone through phases where I wanted really rock hard arms then decided I like the way yoga kept my arms long and lean without the bulk. I gain muscle really easy and have to be careful with weights. At the end of the day, we all have to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror and like that chick staring back at us. Whether you prefer a more soft, womanly appearance or a strong, muscular look- DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! But, remember keeping our arms toned now will help how we look when we’re older. You know the old arm wave and the bra overhang is not so pretty!

I hope everyone is feeling Sassy, Stylish and Superfly today! As I write this, I am gearing up for a fun girlie day of shopping and getting my hair done (honestly, I hate sitting in the salon chair) to get “purdy” for my B-day weekend coming up. I have no clue what the festivities will be, but I know my honey and friends have something up their sleeve! I want to hear how YOUR summer has been so leave a COMMENT BELOW and let us all know! (Hey, I made a rhyme)
In the latest webisode, I wanted to try something a little different and bought the newer version of the FLIP camera in HD. That lil thing rocks! Highly recommend you get one to record fun occasions with fam and friends! They’re inexpensive and very user friendly. Ok, back to the subject… I decided to tape my lovely Go-to-Girl, Vio Meyners in a typical day of ours. We start with a workout, play in her closet, head to an audition, lunch and tape an SOS webisode with Marcy Guevara (coming soon!!).
Just FYI, no- I do not go around looking this made up on a daily basis unless I have auditions or meetings! The tomboy is still very alive in me and on most days, I’m sporting track pants and tennis shoes! Hope you enjoy a glimpse into my life. Let me know what ya think and if you would like to see more “reality show”style webisodes…
I get so excited every season to see what the latest & greatest styles will be! Good thing for all of us FASHIONISTA’S, many of the trends we’ve been seeing since last Fall 2010 through Spring 2011 are the same. Makes it easy on the wallet! Get ready to shop your closet before hitting the stores. You know me, I’m googoo gaga over all the LEOPARD print out right now and did purchase a smokin’ hot pair of leopard shoes. Could not resist. PURRRR! So, if you have a leopard print piece, this is the season to ROCK IT!
In fact, upload a photo of yourself rockin’ your leopard to the SOS facebook page and a winner will be chosen to win a VERY special prize – one of MY FAVE ACCESSORIES! ONLY SUBSCRIBERS TO THIS BLOG ARE ELIGIBLE!
My Fave Quote This Week: “Oftentimes, people allow the opinions of others to hold them back & water down their dreams. But, we have to realize that there will always be critics & naysayers in life. One of the most important things you can learn is that other people don’t have to believe in you in order for your dreams to come to pass. Other people don’t set the limits for your life — YOU DO! (Joel Osteen)
