Keeping Busy
Hello my fellow Sophisticates! I know, I know....I use this excuse far too much but, school just keeps tearing me away from all of you lovely people, my blog, my vlog, and my social life and quite frankly I'm sick of it. So I've decided to put aside more time for me to write more blog posts and making more YouTube videos. You hear that school? I'm not letting you mess with me again! Unfortunately, I will probably have to go back on my decision when testing is happening at school....
Anyways, here is what I have been up to! I have been busy making videos in-between homework and work and posting them to my YouTube channel. Soooo, if you don't follow my YouTube channel, my most recent videos will be the next three posts for you to check out!

"The Devil Wears Prada" Life Lessons
Even though I have seen the movie The Devil Wears Prada time and time again, it never gets old. It allows us "plain Janes" to experience the fun and fabulous world of fashion in the glittering city of NYC. The excitement seen in the film while following Andie Sachs around the city, experiencing all of her fabulous and freak out moments, also provides us, the audience, with some life-changing life lessons. I chose some of my favorite lessons found in the movie for you all to read and enjoy. I hope they bring a smile to each of your faces x
My Favorite The Devil Wears Prada Life Lessons
10) There are MANY shades of blue.
9) If your boss is a bitch, don't let it get to you. They will eventually remember your name.
8) Planes don't fly out during a hurricane.
7) Don't drink the punch!
6) A size 6 is not fat, neither is a size 16.
5) Fashion is not just about clothing, but rather the world around you.
4) It takes a makeover to realize that who you were before the new appearance never needed to change.
3) In order to hcome a storng business woman, it's always good to have connections in every line of work...especially if you need to find an unpublished manuscript of a future Harry Potter novel.
2) If you plan on living in New York, don't plan on eating too much, the food is crazy expensive.
1) At the end of the day, just be yourself. There is no one else you should want to be. After all, you ae unique and amazing in every way.

FAT or Fabulous?
Hello my fellow Sophisticates! I am so sorry that I have not written a real heavy duty post in a long time! My life has been absolutely chaotic with school, work, birthdays, and the holidays and I have had absolutely no time to sit down and write anything not involving great American novels or chemistry, so I decided that since I am on break for a little while, I would sit down and write a somewhat heartfelt post about some issues that I have been seeing/facing lately.
For those of you who know me or have seen me in my YouTube videos know that I am not a size 2 model-esque girl. I am a sturdy, curvy, "bigger boned" girl. Yes, I am slightly overweight, but who isn't these days? I am somewhat subconscious of what I put on my body and how other people see me to the point of where I will stop wearing half the clothes in my closet if they cling to me the slightest bit. I understand that this is a problem that I only can fix, but to me, it really isn't a problem at all. It gives me a chance to change things up a bit and create a new image for myself. I know what some of you are probably thinking..."this is unhealthy for you to ignore" or "get off your ass and change yourself so you don't hate what you see in the mirror," regardless of these thoughts, I am comfortable with who I am and how I appear to the people around me.
I have had people in my life constantly calling me "fat" or that "it wouldn't hurt for me to loose a few pounds." It is not only painful to hear these statements, it is gut wrenching when you are actually confident about how you look. It is even more devastatingly painful to know that these people are very close to me and are supposed to be some of my biggest supporters but that they would rather tear others down to make themselves feel better about how they act or look. In the last month, I have confronted these people and put them in my own shoes. Not for revenge, but rather to show them just how ugly they are on the inside when they degrade others. After these people were able to understand the consequences of their actions, we came to an agreement. It was declared that if a person is happy with who they are and what they see in the mirror every day, it shouldn't matter what others have to say or think about you, because only your own opinion should matter. Once we both understood this and left one another alone, it hit me. I am FAT.
Not "obese", not "chubby," not "bigger boned," but FAT. The meaning of this word is not found in any dictionary, but rather in a person's soul. FAT, Fabulous And Thankful. I am FAT! Fabulous and loving every part of myself and Thankful, for the body, mind, and soul I have been given and would not give up in a million years. "Skinny" does not describe a person's soul but rather their body, whereas FAT describes every ounce of a woman (or man's) being. So whether you are a size 12 or a size 2, you can be FAT and happy! Or even FAT and healthy! Do not let anyone else tell you different! And now that the 2015 is just around the corner, be sure that your number one resolution is not "loose weight," "get skinny," or to "change," but rather to learn to love yourself! I can guarantee that it will make for a healthier and happier you! So if you want to change and create a new image for yourself, start with finding ways to make you fall in love with your mind, soul, and body, and remember that you have only been given this one life and this one body. Let's be sure to make the best of this new year and remember that only YOU can make YOU happy!
I hope you all have learned a little thing or two from this post and that you will never give another person the power to change you. Remember, you are all BEAUTIFUL! Just the way you are x
