I used to not wear glasses; until I was diagnosed with diabetes about 21 years ago.

It is hard sometimes to find eyeglasses that will look good on you.  I went to my optometrist and found that either their eyeglasses were not attractive or the nice ones were too high.

I live on a budget and remember some years ago, my nephew (rest in peace baby) had on some excellent eyeglasses and said that he purchased them online.  I thought to myself (how will I get eyeglasses online)  I thought it would be very difficult until one day I was told that the glasses that I wanted would be six hundred dollars.  Of course, I didn't get them.

Having a particular style was important to me.  My sister wears very stylish eyeglasses, but I wanted the look without the high price.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a few online eyeglasses stores, and I was surprised at the cute glasses that I saw.  Most of the sites had a way that you could try on different frames, and that was so helpful.  Some of them looked ridiculous and I learned that with the shape of my face, I need large to extra-large eyeglasses.  My favorite shape is the square or the rectangular shape.

I saw these cute green cat eye eyeglasses.  I tried them on, and I thought they were cute, but I wasn't sure.  The price was so good that I ordered them anyway.  When I opened the package, they looked so pretty, and they had a good weight to them.  Here are the eyeglasses that I have on.

The prescription was perfect, and I can see very well.  These sites are saving me and others so much money and I will continue to get my eyeglasses this way. I am very pleased with the look and quality.

The best faux mink lashes.

I had dabbled with faux eyelashes but never seriously wore them.  This year I decided to learn how to apply them.  My skills still aren't perfect but they are getting a little better.  

I purchased some faux mink lashes and I find them very easy to apply.  They feel very comfortable they come in a variety of sizes.

I went to my local name brand pharmacy and I saw so many that were kinda expensive.  Since I am not an (eyelashtologist) yes, I made up my own word; I didn't want to pay too much. Mainly, I wanted to find eyelashes to just practice on so I started to get inexpensive eyelashes.

They didn't last that long but I started to see that the ones that are a little more expensive are better.  

Lately, I also have been experimenting with different eyelash glue to find the brand that works the best.  Have been getting a lot of compliments on my faux mink lashes and I think I will stick with these unless I find some that works better. 

 As I get older, lashes really does a great job at making my face look better. They look so glamorous. When I wear lashes, I do not have to wear as much makeup because I can apply the lashes and go.

 

AlignerCo is having a big sale for Independence Day

AlignerCo is having a big sale for Independence Day

This post may have affiliate links which means that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made. 

Hello everyone, I started with AlignerCo about nine months ago.  The process has been quite easy, and the time has gone by so fast.  AlignerCo is having a sale for Independence Day, and right now their aligners are very affordable.  The sale is only for a limited time.  

I have done numerous videos showing you how my AlignerCo journey is going, and my YouTube audience has asked me a lot of questions concerning the price and whether would I suggest that they try these aligners.  

 

I have shared the good and bad about these aligners and the things that I have gone through.  These aligners are the least expensive aligners on the market right now.  It is good to catch a sale on these aligners and start your journey.  

AlignerCo aligners are easy to use, there isn't much pain when using them, and they are very easy to clean and take care of.  I have to switch to another set of aligners every ten days. Some people finish their treatment in four to six months. You can straighten your smile in less than a year.

Afro Hair Wigs For Black Women

Afro Hair Wigs For Black Women

After experiencing hair loss in my mid-twenties I started wearing hair pieces and wigs.  There are so many different styles that you can choose now because years ago the styles were limited.

I usually buy straight bob wigs and shoulder-length wigs that have a little curl to them.  Recently, I have been exploring a little more and I decided to buy an Afro wig.  These wigs feel light on the head and the texture is very natural looking. 

You can see from the picture that this wig has a little curl almost like a Jheri Curl. You can comb it out more to give it more volume or you can pat it and it will give a smaller appearance.  It is nice to be able to change to a different style anytime I want.  

Wigs give you plenty of freedom to wear your hair in a different way at any given time.  I have alopecia and I have tried a lot of products that are supposed to help your hair grow.  A lot of those products don't work but if I do find a solution, I will come back and let you know what I am using, but right now I am enjoying my wigs.

Plus-size clothing for wedding guests.

Plus-size clothing for wedding guests.

It is very difficult to find a plus-size special occasion dress to wear to a wedding.  Sometimes you will have to have a dress made, but if you have to find something to wear in less than thirty days you will definitely have a problem.

I have gone to JCPenney in the past to look for a special occasion dress and they had a nice selection but if you are a younger woman in her 20s or 30s their selection is very small.

I have looked on a website called boohoo and I saw some cute dresses that would be perfect for a wedding and they are perfect for younger woman.

Sometimes it is good to get a small collection of dresses suitable to wear to a wedding before you even need it.  Go to some stores just to see what is available, and if you see a pretty dress for a good price; get it even before you need it.  If you need to go to a tailor to get it taken in a bit, it will be ready for you before any event.

I have seen some cute dresses and pantsuits at Burlington but they don't have a large selection.  

I took a look at Avenue website and they had some adorable special occasion dresses and they come in many sizes for the plus-size woman.  They even had some cute jumpsuits that you can wear to a wedding.  Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try some new styles.

Don't sleep on Amazon.  Check out their wedding guests dresses.  I saw some that were adorable. Do a full search online before you go to any stores to get an idea of the type of dress that you want.

My most favorite place to get a special occasion dress is my local thrift store.  They have a big selection for plus-size women suitable for all age groups.  These dresses are beautiful, affordable, and you can take it to the tailor to get something added or taken away from the dress but most of the time I just get it and hand wash it or take it to the dry cleaners and store it away just in case a wedding comes up; I am always prepared.

I have always wanted to straighten my teeth since I was a child.  I endured being bullied many times for something I couldn't help. Getting braces was out of the question at the time because it was so expensive.

I had gotten so discouraged, and I was looking to get extractions and get a partial denture or get all of my top teeth removed. I went to the dentist, and they wouldn't give me extractions because they said that my teeth were healthy.  This greatly angered me because I couldn't find any solution to my dental problems.

It was my dream to get braces in my twenties or thirties.  I could never afford it; it was out of my budget. About 9 years ago, I started to see advertisements for clear dental aligners that you could do at home. 

 Every time I thought that I would be able to afford these dental aligners, something else would come where I would have to spend the money that I was saving.

In November 2021, I started to see advertisements for AlignerCo, and I made the decision that I would take advantage of the Black Friday sale that they had at the time. 

 I ordered the impression kit, and it took between 2 to 4 weeks to come.  When it finally came, it was very hard for me to do the impressions, so I had to do a video call for someone to help me do the impressions. 

 I spent a lot of money, and sometimes they would send me new impression materials and trays for free.  It was very frustrating because I asked for extra large trays and they kept sending me the smaller size.  It took about 8 or 9 months to get a decent impression that was workable.

In this video, you can see how my teeth looked before I started the aligner trays. 

When my AlignerCo aligners came, I wore them exactly as I was supposed to.  There was some pain, but after two or three days, the pain was gone. I had to wear the trays for 10 days and then switch to a new one. You have to submit new photos of yourself wearing the new trays.

My treatment was thirteen trays, and when I got to the last tray, I noticed that my teeth didn't really change much.  I was very angry.

I got in touch with AlignerCo, and they said that I needed refinements.  At this point, I didn't want to pay any more money for this process. I was going to give up, but I had put so much money into AlignerCo, so I decided to get the refinements.  As I am waiting to get my refinements, I had to wear my retainers.

I have noticed while I am wearing my retainers, my teeth are becoming a little bit straighter.  In the first picture, you can see my smile changing a bit and it is some progress.  

Right now, I am hopeful that the refinements will work. This process is not for everyone because I didn't feel like it was for me, but you will not find any process this affordable.  Most companies will have you pay about $2000.00, and that is expensive for at-home dental treatment.

This dental journey was a difficult one but it is very convenient.  If you are looking to straighten your teeth, consider AlignerCo.  After my refinements are done, I will update you on my progress.

 

The cutest cowboy boots are here.

Would you believe that I have never owned cowboy boots?  I recently saw some and they really looked interesting.  Actually, they were pretty. 

 I always thought that they were for cooler weather but last year I saw a young lady wearing them with shorts and it really looked snazzy. 

 I don't think that I am bold enough to wear them with shorts but I could see them with a cute dress, so that would definitely work for me.

Below you will see some cowboy boots that caught my attention and I am quite sure you will also like them.

Here is a collection of cowboy boots right here.  They are very stylish and some of them are quite dressy.

How to dress an over 50 plus-size body

 

Dressing a plus size over 50 body is not easy.  You have to wonder what is comfortable and what is appropriate.  

I don't want to dress like someone in their 20s or 30s but I want to still look glamorous and cute in my own skin.   Sometimes finding tops that cover and make me feel comfortable is hard.  I am voluptuous, so I know that v-neck sweaters and tops are perfect for me.  I like these tops to not show too much cleavage but accent my neckline.

You have to make an assessment of your best assets.  It could be your arms, breast, shapely legs, small waistline, etc.  If you have pretty legs, wear skirts and dresses that hit you at the knee or below the knee.  

Wear shoes that are not too high, but wear shoes that will feel comfortable but still stylish.  A medium heel would be perfect.  If you love high heels and can walk in them without looking uncomfortable and hunched over, that would be a great look for you.

If your arms are well-toned, do not be afraid to wear nice tanks and shells in pretty colors.  Pair them with dark color pants or pants in a similar tone as your top.

If you have a small waist wear tops that nip in the waist to give you that sophisticated hourglass shape. Dresses that cinch your waist and flare dresses look great on this type of body shape.  These types of dresses do not go out of style fast, and they always look good.  

Wear nice undergarments that will give you a smooth silhouette.  Your clothes will look that much better. 

If you are apple-shaped, dresses that are fit and flare, and hit you at the knee always look good.  I can never go wrong with wrap dresses because they always look nice on me.  Bevy Smith mostly wears this style and it always looks classy on her. 

Never wear clothes that are too tight or too short because you will feel uncomfortable and it will show.  

Plus size women can wear colorful clothes just don't wear busy prints on top of prints because it will make you look bigger. 

Wear tasteful jewelry that isn't too big unless it is a statement piece and just wear one so you don't take away from your total look. 

If you watch a program that has plus-size women over 50 and you like their style, copy some of the elements in their wardrobe that you like.

If you do not have a trench coat please invest in one because it will always make you look pulled together and sophisticated.

Wear some cute, dark-colored jeans and nice shirts or blouses.  The truth is, we can wear a lot of things that women of other ages can wear we just have to know when something may not be appropriate for us.  

Do away with any clothes that look frumpy!

 

Keep yourself looking, good ladies!

DELUXE cariPRO Oral Care Bundle

 

This post is sponsored, meaning I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.  This doesn't affect my opinion of the product.  All opinions are mine.

In Late 2021 I decided I wanted to change my smile.  I have a lot of gaps and uneven teeth. so I decided to get dental aligners so I could have the smile that I have wanted for a long time.   I ordered Alignerco dental aligners.  

While using dental aligners I decided that I wanted to improve my dental hygiene routine.  I saw that Smile Brilliant has a great price for the Deluxe cariPro Oral Care Bundle.  This system is definitely top-of-the-line and is a complete system that will help you to improve your daily dental hygiene regimen.
