Think how much fun you can have wearing these comfortable, dotted, pink and turquoise striped, stretch cotton Cherry Skulls Pajamas. This fun print looks like two cherries with stems from a distance, but get up close and see that they are not cherries at all–they are SKULLS!

The black fabric of the Black Comfy Cotton Pajamas is 95% cotton that will keep you cool, dry, and comfortable, and 5% spandex for just the right amount of stretch. Tiny pink dotted bows trim the neckline of the camisole and the front of the boy shorts. Striped elastic edges everything- the neckline the armholes, and the hem. The boy shorts of this plus size cami set have a feminine flutter hem.
Be comfortable and sensational in these easy-care satin Sensational Blue Pajamas. The stretch lace top has seamed cups for shape and light support. The comfortable stretch waist pajama pants provide coverage and the perfect fit. With the sweetheart neckline and deep vee back, you will get the attention you deserve from your special someone.

In April of last year, eighth-grader Julia Bluhm started a campaign to stop the teen magazine from airbrushing photos used in their magazine. She started a petition on Change.org after hearing many of her fellow teens in her ballet class complain about their weight. It called for Seventeen Magazine to run one unaltered photo spread each month. She was able to collect over 80,000 signatures worldwide. They also demonstrated outside the corporate offices of Hearst, which own the magazine.
After receiving a barrage of correspondence from young women, editor-in-chief Ann Shoket invited Julia to a meeting to discuss the situation. In July, they put out a new policy statement on the magazine’s photo enhancements.
The New York Times reports that while Shoket stresses the magazine “never has, never will” digitally alter the body or face shapes of its models, her editor’s letter in the upcoming August issue will reaffirm its commitment. Skolet writes that the entire Seventeen staff has signed an eight-point Body Peace Treaty promising not to alter natural shapes and include only images of “real girls and models who are healthy.”
“This is a huge victory, and I’m so unbelievably happy,” Julia writes on her online petition page.
The ability to have realistic models in magazines is so important, especially for young girls. Whether it’s those adorable freckles or that scar above the eye, they need to see those flaws that make every one of us unique.
About Curves continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of our customers. The women of About Curves are glad to see that curvy women are finally gaining some recognition in the media; however, size acceptance is still a problem in society. Too often plus size items are offered alongside diet pills promising magical results; the fantasy that all women can and should look like skinny models still dominates women’s magazines.

H & M did something outstanding this year. They chose plus size model Jennie Runk to represent their swimwear in the 2013 catalog and marketing campaign. She’s photographed sporting a variety of beachwear such as swimsuits, sarongs, bikinis and cover-ups.
What’s amazing is that they did the photo shoot, put together their catalog and marketing and simply implemented the campaign. They didn’t put out press releases highlighting the fact they’re using a plus size model. However, they’ve gotten a bonus from the media and fashion bloggers. Everyone has picked up on the fact that they treated this campaign like any other. They have been getting high praise for their “more actions than words” approach.
“We think Jenny Runk shows off our summer swimwear in a very good way and are extremely happy with the pictures,” said a spokeswoman. “At H&M we try to show a mix of models in all our seasonal campaigns. Our aim is not to convey any particular message or ideal, rather to find a model who wears the collection in an inspiring way. This online campaign shows our H&M+ summer collection.”
We are still a ways off from getting high end fashion designers to create clothing lines for women over a size 10. However, more and more companies are opening up to the fact that if you make the sizes that women need, and market towards them, they will buy their clothes. Who doesn’t want to be fashionable?

Searching the internet for blogging inspiration, I came across a fantastic new plus size magazine. Dare Magazine is the work of fourth year Ryerson University student Diana Di Poce. She is in the Fashion Communications program and launched the magazine as her final project.
With a target market of women size 12-plus, they have done an excellent job of creating a resource for the hip and modern woman. It’s done in a style similar to Elle or Glamour. They give you high fashion photo spreads, in-depth articles and interviews, and new product reviews.
Dare Magazine is not trying to be revolutionary. There are a number of plus size publications out there. They’re just trying to acknowledge their consumer, women with curves. They’re offering great information with beautifully done photo shoots. What more could you ask for? Every new magazine that comes out featuring “real” women is a step in the right direction.
There is a misconception, in the industry, that if they feature women size 12 and above that they are saying, “It’s okay to be fat.” Well, it is okay. There are so many different body types that it seems short sighted and arrogant for them to think everyone should be a size 2. Those of us with a big bust or more in the hips, or both, will always have curves. There is no amount of weight loss that will take that away from most of us.
I really enjoyed paging through this publication online. I think if Diana stays focused and strives to put out the best product possible, she has a real winner on her hands. Look forward to seeing what she does next.

If you’ve been in your relationship for a while, chances are you’re probably past the honeymoon stage. Just because you no longer get the tingles every time you see their name come up on your phone, doesn’t mean the love is gone. However, even the most love-filled relationships can go stale over time. Here are a few tips to give your relationship a little makeover.
Communication Is Key
You probably talk every day. You talk about the kids, how your day went, and even current events, but how often do check in about your relationship? It’s okay to tell your partner when you’re bored or unsatisfied with how things are going. If you don’t say something, more times than not, they won’t know. It is also important to ask them how they feel about the relationship and not get defensive. Remember, whether you agree with your partner or not, everyone has the right to their own feelings.
Try New Things Together
Every couple falls into some sort of routine over time. We go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch television, and go to bed. Sound familiar? It’s important to shake things up a little bit. Try doing date night during the week, go to a karaoke bar, or take a cooking class together. The most important part is to find something that interests you both and do it together. It creates new experience and something to look forward to.
Spice Up The Bedroom
After all these years, you’ve perfected the 8 minute routine you two call sex. You know all your lover’s moves and they know yours. Change it up. If you always do it on Saturday night, do it on Tuesday. Jump in the shower with them. Try role playing with fun costumes. Re-live your teenage years and go parking somewhere. Be creative and spontaneous.
Bring Back The Magic
In the beginning, it was the little things you did for each other that made you feel special. Do those things again. Leave love notes under their windshield wiper. Text them “I love you!” Cook their favorite meal when you know they’re having a bad day. Surprise them with a getaway weekend. Ship the kids to the grandparents and have night for the two of you!
Get Healthy
It’s so easy to let yourself go in a relationship. You get more and more comfortable with each other and before you know it, you haven’t been to the gym in years. Make a pact to get in shape. Start going to the gym together. Walk every night after dinner. Find healthy foods that you can cook together. The healthier you get, the more energy you will have for the bedroom!
