GIVEAWAY ALERT!!! #sponsored⁠
⁠
For years I’ve been using organic and clean skin care, so last year after reading another article about how the ingredients in conventional deodorants can be linked to health issues, I thought why am I not using clean deodorant? So, I went on the hunt for a CLEAN Deodorant that could hold up in any situation… even while teaching hot yoga classes. I tried a few but none made the cut until I found @taosaer. Not only does it hold up under any situation but the subtle scents smell like heaven!⁠
⁠
In celebration of @taosaer now being available in mini sizes online @target, I’m excited to be partnering with them for a GIVEAWAY so you can have a chance to try it too!⁠
⁠
@taosaer is the ultimate in clean deodorant performance and purity. It’s formulated without aluminum, talc, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, propylene glycol, or synthetic fragrance and is certified cruelty-free. The concentrated formula harnesses the power of potent plant actives and mineral powders to neutralize odor-causing bacteria at the source and absorb excess moisture.⁠
⁠
Wait til you smell the 3 signature essential oil scents, Lavender Myrrh, Ginger Grapefruit and my personal favorite for Fall, Palo Santo Blood Orange. Prized for its deeply spiritual aspects, this mystical scent channels positivity. The cleansing smoke and holy woods are brightened by pure citrus notes and smolder into a scent that is ever-unfolding, like a trail of smoke on a dark night. I know you are going to love these as much as I do!⁠
⁠
We’ll be randomly selecting 2 WINNERS who will receive all ALL 3 essential oil scents in the mini size!⁠
⁠
Here’s how you can enter to WIN!⁠
1. Like this post⁠
2. Follow @thiscurvyworld and @taosaer⁠
3. Tag 3 friends in this post⁠
4. Share 1 sentence or more about why clean beauty is important to you!⁠
⁠
Winners will be chosen at random and announced on Saturday 10/24.⁠
⁠
Open to U.S. residents only. Must be 18 years or older in order to win. By entering you acknowledge that this giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by or associated with Instagram.⁠

Over the last 8 months we have all been dealing wi

Over the last 8 months we have all been dealing with so much change and while some of it may have been planned there has been a lot that has been sprung upon us unexpectedly. Whether you have lost a job or started a new one, moved into a new home or back in with the folks, have experienced the loss of a loved one or the arrival of a little one. Here are some strategies to help you cope, making these stressful situations a little less scary.⁠
⁠
1. Pay attention to your feelings - Allow yourself to feel nervous, scared or upset. It’s okay to admit that your scared about losing or starting a new job or becoming a parent. This is huge change and almost anyone would feel overwhelmed by this.⁠
⁠
2. Practice gratitude- It’s not easy to look at the glass half full when the world seems to be caving in around you, but if you can find moments where you can remind yourself of all of the positive things in your life.⁠
⁠
3. Stay in control- You may not be able to control every situation and it’s outcome but you can control your attitude and how you deal with it. ⁠
⁠
4. Prepare for Change- If you see change on the horizon start to prepare. Look at your options sooner rather than later so you have the time to make choices that feel good for you.⁠

5. Keep your routine- When we are stressed our health is the first thing to suffer. Keep to your regular routine as much as you possibly can. Exercise eat healthy and get plenty of zzzz’s.⁠
⁠
6. Manage your expectations- Give yourself some time to adjust and don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you do you will run the risk of disappointment.⁠
⁠
7. Be open to new things- They say when one door closes another opens. Stay flexible and open to new opportunities and possibilities.⁠
⁠
8. Let go of the past- You won’t be able to allow yourself to enjoy the present if you are pining away for the past. Take baby steps into the future.⁠
⁠
9. Practice self -care- Take a day trip, long baths, bike rides, meditation. Whatever you can do to let your mind drift elsewhere.⁠

Sitting Room revamp! Being indoors for so long ga

Sitting Room revamp! Being indoors for so long gave me the DIY bug so I spent the summer redoing a few spaces in the house. The sitting room off our bedroom upstairs has been on my list of rooms to re-design for years since it was never quite right. The @koroseal wallcovering has been up for quite some time, but I had never really found the furniture or drapes that I always envisioned in this space so it housed a left over sofa that was nothing more than functional for years. Finally, after numerous trips to the @abcoutlet I struck gold with this settee and chair on a swivel (perfect for gazing out the windows) and they work perfectly. I really wanted this room to be extremely tonal with lots of texture so the open weave Rhapsody Sheer from @opuzen paired with simple duponi silk drapes from @potterybarn add the perfect layer of texture to the @artewalls Grand Moire wallcovering and allow for filtered sunlight all day long. For a coffee table I re-covered an inexpensive bench from @homegoods with a peace of mud cloth that my friend @calvin.clemmons brought back for me from a trip to Africa and added some luxe plants from @shellsloft to help create the vibe. The green of the plants inspired the citrine accent color for the pillows from @crateandbarrel and @westelm @shellsloft @cb2 had some really interesting and sculptural cocktail tables like the one by the chair and @westelm had the perfect side table for by the settee. I've had lamp also @westelm for years and the whimsy of it makes me smile. I was even able to get a little mediation space in by the fireplace for the perfect sanctuary, making this space ready for the cozy winter months ahead!⁠

One of my favorite places to work out in Bed-Stuy

One of my favorite places to work out in Bed-Stuy is⁠
@thefitinbedstuy ⁠
⁠
This Black women owned studio opened as a way to offer quality fitness in a supportive, small group environment at an affordable price and in a neighborhood that is underserved by the health & fitness industry.⁠
⁠
Recently they have been taking it outdoors still offering so many classes including pilates, circuit training and weight training and when I saw that they posted about bringing back their scholarship program I wanted to share it with you so that you could have a chance to ENTER TO WIN!⁠
⁠
Physical activity is a fundamental part of staying healthy. Quality fitness for 30 mins, 3 or more times a week, will help prevent future health issues. But for some, as much as they want to make it a priority, they have major responsibilities which force it to take a back seat. ⁠
⁠
This scholarship is designed to support the recipients in finding their own individual journey. Those awarded will receive 8 outdoor classes with The Fit In for $1 each as well as complimentary personal training sessions from Denise & Ife founder of @thefitinbedstuy⁠
⁠
The recipient of this scholarship will get:⁠
⁠
8 classes at The Fit In studios for $1 each⁠
⁠
2 private strength training sessions with personal trainer and instructor Denise ⁠
⁠
1 private pilates sessions with founder Ife. ⁠
⁠
CLICK LINK IN BIO for link to ENTER to WIN and all the details. Hope to see you at a workout session soon!⁠
⁠
Application deadline is September 25, 2020.

This new week brings a new Season. Fall is my favorite time of the year filled with crisp air and so much beauty...feels like it's nature's last hurrah before taking a nap.

Hope your week is as gorgeous as this field of sunflowers. Happy Monday!
