How to Add Luxury to Your Life at Home
One thing I’ve learned with time is the importance to invest in things that make you happy. With so many of us spending time in our homes how do we switch up?
It doesn’t have to cost an arm or a leg but the intention and meaning behind these things or actions are so valuable. I love bringing things to my life to add beauty and luxury. Here are 5 easy ways to add a bit of luxury to your life.
Fresh Flowers
Adding flesh florals is an instant way to add color and luxury to your home. I remember while away at college I would treat myself after acing a test to some fresh flowers. It was an expensive treat for a college kid. I promised myself that when I was older I would always have fresh flowers in my home. It’s an instant pick me up.
Wear a Silk Robe Around the House
Cloth yourself in this soft silky fabric to immediately elevate any night at home. I love my pink silk robe and instantly feel like my net worth goes up as I watch Netflix on my couch.
Wear Perfume You Save for Special Occasions
Don’t wait one second more to wear that fragrance you only whip out for an anniversary or date night. Every moment alive is a special occasion and deserves to be treated as such. So go ahead and dab some of the special scent to the nape of your neck. You’re worth it.
Light Candles
Growing up, candles were associated to preparing for inclement weather. We never lit them unless the power went out during a hurricane. I was missing out on all the vibes scented candles bring to your space. Whether I’m working at home, watching TV or taking a shower; lighting candles have become a main part of my lifestyle.
There’s something about taking a bath by candle light that feels extra plush and so luxurious. Add essential oils and flower petals to the water to elevate your bath time too.
Play Jazz & Drink Wine While Cooking
Creating the perfect Jazz playlist took me years but it’s so worth it when you can just hit play, pour a glass of chianti red and whip up a delicious pasta dish at home. Rich Auntie Vibes for sure.
Stay Lovely!

Explore More With Banana Republic
As a nurse I know very well what my day to day would consist of. Medical charts, patient care, delegating tasks, assisting my colleagues in procedures and lots of continuous education. It was pretty routine and for years, living it without exploring my creative side. Continue reading “Explore More With Banana Republic”

Musings of a Curvy Lady 2018 Rebrand
It’s finally here! My new website! So much blood, sweat and tears have gone into rebranding my website. I didn’t think the day would come but it’s here and I can’t wait for you to experience it with me.
For the last 2 years I’ve been wanting to create a completely new and different experience when you come to Musings of a Curvy Lady for many reasons. For one, I wasn’t motivated to create when I would come to my own site.
So that’s a problem.
How could I expect anyone else to be excited about the content I was creating if it didn’t excite the content creator?
I had all these ideas but didn’t have the time, money or know-how to make Musings of a Curvy Lady into what I know it could be; a beautiful destination for women everywhere regardless of their size, ethnicity or shape to feel lovely about themselves and to be inspired to chase after their dreams.
So I had to go after mine and that’s where Vanessa my graphic designer comes in to play. She’s been able to take these pretty ideas in my head and translate it onto a computer screen so when you visit Musings of a Curvy Lady it’s not just a picture of an outfit, you get to know me and really get a sense of who I am creatively.
Another reason why I wanted to rebrand was the fact that my creative direction has changed in the last few years. I started creating video content on YouTube but didn’t really have a coordinated way to connect with my site and have everything flow.
I also wanted to include other parts of my world outside of fashion and transition this style blog into more of a lifestyle destination. Besides fashion and beauty you will see more travel, fitness and life content so you get a better experience of all my musings.
Women are amazing creatures and we’re so multifaceted and dynamic.
But I realized that I was the one limiting what this platform could be by boxing myself in as just a fashion outlet. I didn’t want the blog to hold me back but rather allow me to grow and expand my creativity.
I’m more than a fashion blogger and a nurse. I’m a daughter. A sister and caregiver. Lover and a fighter. A creative. I wanted this space to reflect every creative part of me and at the same time be a resource to you, the women that visit this space for positivity and inspiration.
So explore the site! Have fun going through the pages, take a few quizzes, watch some fun videos, shop my faves and discover new products and beauty techniques. Experience the new Musings of a Curvy Lady. It’s the same me, just a little bit more all in one pretty place.
