Alight Plus Size Fashions Giveaway

Alight.com is quickly becoming THE place for plus size fashions.  I stumbled upon alight a few years ago when I needed a dress for my daughter’s graduation, and I didn’t want a frumpy, matronly plus-size frock.  Turns out, I love the dress I bought and I wear it whenever I can!  Their selection is amazing – from dresses to club clothes to jackets to cardigans – you will find it all at alight.com. 
According to their site, “alight's selection of plus size clothing and apparel for women and teens is one of the largest on the internet. We carry over 1000 unique items from over 75 brands. Our buyers shop the globe for the most interesting and fashion right clothing.” 
From size 12 – 34, there’s something for everyone at alight.  Check out their dressy dress selection.

As their site says, “Find the perfect plus size prom dress for prom 2011 here at alight. We have all the latest in formal prom gowns from the hottest designers. Whether you are looking for satin prom dresses, short prom dresses, long prom dresses, or strapless prom dresses, we have what you are looking for. We carry dresses in every color including black prom dresses, red prom dresses, green prom dresses, purple prom dresses, white prom dresses, orange prom dresses, yellow prom dresses, and gold prom dresses. For people on a budget we carry cheap prom dresses. Many of our prom dresses were featured in prom fashion magazines.”


They sent us a cute size 12 dress in a bright floral print with a wide satiny orange belt, which was perfect for accenting Liz’s little waist.  As she always does, she made the look her own by adding funky, slouchy little boots.

Holiday Planner?

Lizzie's Mom wants to know...

I have a question for all my cyber-buddies: do you use a formal planner (calendar, program, etc.) to get ready for the holidays?



I just realized that it's December 1 (duh) and I should be planning all of my baking and decorating and shopping, just so I don't end up on Christmas Day strung out and cranky.

I went over to FlyLady.net because back when I used to do her routines, I felt so much more organized and in control. But, OMGosh! - FlyLady expects you to have all your preparations DONE by Dec. 1! Yikes!!!!


Am I overthinking this? Is it as simple as a list and a calendar? (I just love to have everything mapped out for me, though!) I trust your opinions.  What do YOU do?

Review: Good Girls Don't Get Fat

If you are a mom, daughter, sister... basically any type of female... (even dads could learn a little something) you need to read this book by Dr. Robyn Silverman!  It talks about the struggles girls have with weight and has so many inspiring (and some gross) stories.  I can almost guarantee that, by the end, you will love your body and have so much more respect for yourself and others.  Plus, the book is so ridiculously current and talks about all the things girls are really going through, from friends and boys to media and facebook, it covers all the bases.  I really recommend you read this book ASAP, but in the meantime, check out our review on Mint Green With Envy HERE.
And be sure to check out this short video from Dr. Robyn!

We have a winner!

Wizardewu, your tenaciousness paid off!  You're the winner of the Inspired by Finn Baltic Amber Necklace giveaway!


Thank you to everyone who entered!  We had such a great response - over 200 comments!  Keep checking in...we're going to have another great giveaway very soon!

Inspired by Finn Baltic Amber Necklace Review & Giveaway

First a little history lesson:  Baltic Amber is fossilized tree resin which has been revered since about 9500 BC for its beauty and healing properties.  Amber was a traditional remedy for teething in Europe as recently as the 1900's, where it was believed to have had analgesic and calming properties.   More recently, a new generation of moms has discovered amber.  Amber teething necklaces are enjoying a comeback, and just about anywhere you go, you're bound to see someone (big or small) wearing amber.

Teething necklace.

Baltic Amber for back pain.

Inspired by Finn asked me to review one of their necklaces.  It's really a thing of beauty, and I put it on as soon as I got it.  I was kind of expecting some magical thunderclap that would suddenly heal all of my various ailments, but, of course that is just silly.  After a couple of days, though, when I went to put 
it back on after a shower (you shouldn't bathe in your amber), it was missing. After searching for a while, I gave up and went to bed.  I woke up the next morning with a very unpleasant surprise: a migraine!
Now I do suffer from migraines, but I never wake up with them.  And this was a bad one.  I took ibuprofen, had coffee (that's my usual remedy) and went about my morning, getting ready for work.  As I was feeding the cats,
I laughed out loud.  The necklace was curled up next to the cats' dish!  One of my kitties tried to steal it!(Or was it sabotage?)  I put it back on and before long, my headache was gone.  I know - I know...it was probably
the meds and caffeine, but still.  What's even more awesome is I haven't had a migraine since.  And I'm not entirely sure, but I think it has helped with some chronic shoulder pain I've been having.
