One Style Three Ways
As an outspoken fan and member of Gwynnie Bee, I was ecstatic to share the Gwynnie Bee experience with my contributors. We got together to play around with one of the brand’s fun styles, the Painted Garden Tunic Dress. Between the convertible three-quarter sleeves, the perfect length of the dress, and the colorful floral print, I was sold sight unseen. Daring, I know! I am always looking at garments from a versatility perspective. Can I wear this in different settings? Will this allow me to play around with different shoes, jackets, and accessories? With the Painted Garden Tunic Dress, I … Continue Reading
Wedding Bells Are Ringing!
Well, my lovely readers, I have something important to share with you. I am not getting married☺. Not yet, anyway!

Weighing in on Weight Issues
“I would like to discuss your recent weight gain if you’re open to it.” Does a sentence like that get your blood pumping or what? I remember hearing those words several years ago from my doctor and instantly felt like bolting from the room. My face got hot, and my palms started to sweat. I already knew I’d gained weight (close to 30 pounds if I’m being honest), but no one had yet to say it out … Read More

Finding Your Sexy!
I used to love miniskirts. A teacher in high school nicknamed me “Miss Naked” because my uniform skirt always appeared too short on my tall frame. Unlike Katharine Hepburn, a fierce feminist who dared to wear trousers (and my namesake), I championed the skirt. I found it to be far less restrictive than pants. So, how did I get here? I’m looking in the mirror at what can only be classified as … Read More

Ending the Body Image Battle
I want to start this body image article with a quick story. I was at my gym in a group fitness class, and my usual spot on the right side of the room was taken. Unfazed, I simply moved my station to the other side of the room, set up my weights, looked up at myself in the mirror and thought, “Christiana, you look HUGE!” Great self-talk there, right? Realizing I looked twice as tall (and wide) … Read More
