Most who know me know I’m girly girl only for some things. One thing I’m not so girly with is getting my nails done (hey don’t get me wrong my nails are always clean just not cutesy like most). I’m just not into spending money every two weeks to tame my nails Well, all that changed when a friend of mine suggested they like to see what I look like with done up nails. I figured meh.. why not give it a go and fancy up my little fingers. I mean there has got to be more to life...
Guess who’s back……back again Vana’s back tell a friend… That was my quick slim shady reference if any of you all are former Eminem fans. Can I take a moment to say THANK YOU to all my followers who read my last blog post you all are AMAZING!! Anway, lets get into the nitty gritty of my life after weight loss surgery (wls) and the maintenance phase. Remember how I stated many think it’s the easy way out. Man, do I have news for you. It’s far from easy. It’s ten times harder than regular weight loss. Life with...
On December 1, 2010, I made the biggest decision that would affect me for the rest of my life. I decided to take charge of my health and have weight loss surgery(WLS). Most of my childhood and some of my adult life I battled with being overweight. My weight never really bothered me because I was pretty active doing dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. I also didn’t suffer from any health issues. It wasn’t until one day I went to the store to try on some pants and I had to keep going up a size. I had to try...
The excellent team of people at Hot Ginger LA contacted me and asked if I would like to do a Collaboration with them on their new curvy subscription boxes. Hot Ginger La who just recently launched their website *throws confetti* sent me over a few goodies currently available in the fall curvy box. The way the curvy box works is every month they send you some new pieces that go with the theme of the season. Now how fun is that! I received six pieces, but out of all of them, this one olive green dress stood out to...
That’s right one of my favorite times of the year is among us. So many Holiday filled events go on from November to December. Tis the season of velvet, sequins, glitz and glam.

FGC has something for EVERYONE with its one-stop shop. You can buy an outfit, jewelry, and...
It’s Boots season Finally….one reason I love the colder months because thats the best time to get out those fashionable boots. But when you’re a girl like me who has the hardest time finding a cute boot to fit my calf it gets a little tough. Even though my calf is on the bigger spectrum of standard wide calf sizing, I never let it stop me. I always like to shop around and see where I can find a boot that’s cute and fits me. This year I have been Pretty lucky and found not just one pair of...

If you haven’t noticed, 90’s fashion trends are on the rise. One hot trend I’m happy to take back with open arms is chokers. I feel like chokers have always been a timeless statement piece in the fashion industry. When I was asked to model for a brand that had some hot choker pieces for a site, I was more than happy to be a part of the launch.I had the pleasure of shooting with TriceVault a Black owned Boston-based online boutique. I’m huge on supporting black owned business within my community so of course, I was more than happy to work with them. Tricevault specializes in statement pieces at an affordable price. Being hands on as a model for the shoot I was...
