MAXI DRESSES FOR EVERY SHAPE

Triangle
For the triangle body type maxi dresses can be hard to find that flatter your figure. You need something that will slim down you bottom half. Go for maxi dresses with darker colored bottoms and light colored tops. Also maxi dresses with the top half embellished will work well for you because it brings the attention to your top half and not the bottom.

Round
Round body types should go for wider strapped dresses and dresses with an empire waist are truly your friends. Empire waisted maxi dresses help you create that hourglass shape you are going for this summer and helps create a slimming illusion.

Inverted Triangle
One of the best maxi dresses for us inverted triangles are one shoulder maxis, but many inverted triangles opt for maxi dresses with spaghetti straps or go strapless to show off their wonder shoulders as well. You will also want to look for maxis that have a fuller bottom half.

Hourglass
Less is more for the hourglass shape. Don’t hide your curves under pattered maxis. Simple maxi dresses will work quite great with the natural curves of an hourglass shape. Basically you all can wear practically any style maxi dress, just stay away from the busy patterns.

Rectangle
Dresses with ruffles, tiers, or layers work great for this shape. This is because you need to create curves. You should also look for those maxis with a cinched waist and those with belts because this will help you create curve.

LOVE & AUTISM

Sooooo ok! If you think your marriage is hard it is nothing compared to being married and raising a child with Autism. Of course everyone these days seems to get divorced but the divorce rate is way higher if you have a child with any type of disability. The divorce rate is at 80%. You are probably wondering why this is, if you are a married parent with an autistic child you certainly know why:

1. Financially it costs  thousands more to raise a child with Autism so that they will meet their full potential
2. Parenting styles are usually different and can be very difficult because of the behaviors of your child
3. There is no work life balance and sometimes one parent has to stay home to take proper care of the child
4. There is no alone time because of the degree of attention your child must have

When our child was first diagnosed with Autism everyone told me NO, nothing is wrong, he is just a kid...the doctors don't know what they are talking about. I was alone, by myself taking my child back and forth to various doctor's appointments and even having to drive hours to go to specialists. I wasn't sad about any of this because I was gonna do whatever it took to make sure his diagnosis was correct and that he had the best care. I researched and advocated for my child. 

I still can't say everyone has accepted the fact that my child has autism but they have come to terms with the fact that there is special care and a high level of attention needed. I am blessed to have a wonderful group of teachers that have worked with our child for two years and because of it our child is very high functioning and SUPER SMART, which most Autistic kids are. 

My husband and I have are ups and downs but we are far from divorce. Having a child with a disability should bring you closer. You should learn how to work together to nurture and care for your child.  You really have to support each other and gain respect for each of your opinions. It's not going to be easy but, make sure you have lots of family involved and have strong spirituality because your marriage can still succeed. MINE HAS!

GOLDEN GODDESS

Recently I was out and about shopping and saw the cutest necklace which came in three different colors: white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. I have always loved the look of rose gold and I wondered if it would be the right look for me. SOOOO, I tried it on and absolutely hated it. If you are like me and wondering which type of gold matches your skin tone, then this post is a WIN for you, READ ON and find out how with the right gold you can become a Golden Goddess 

White Gold Jewelry – Looks best on those with cool tones mostly those with blue veins can wear silver, white gold or platinum jewelry. 

Yellow Gold Jewelry – Looks best on those with warm tones which are mostly those with green veins. Gold looks great on us and give us a natural glow. Most brown skin tones can wear yellow gold. 

Rose Gold Jewelry – Looks great on olive skin tones. Olive skin tones are lucky. There is something about rose gold I find so amazing and the look of it is very unique. 

Always remember whatever you wear make sure it’s something you are comfortable in and that you like the look of it on yourself. Who cares what everyone else says. BE YOURSELF…KISSES

WHAT MARRIAGE REALLY TAKES

Random Selfie...my husband likes this one:)

1. It's important to like your spouse, not only should you love them but you must like to be around them. Spending time and having fun with your spouse is very important for a lasting marriage.
2. Remain Hot! Just because we get married does not mean YAY, I got him now! I'm done with this...it takes toooo much time to look this good. We still have to remain the same, this is what your spouse was attracted to the first time he saw you no matter how shallow it sounds, its true and this works both ways. We don't want to be with a slob who sits around watching TV all day.
3. Men, compliments always work...no matter what! When we come home after a long day we want you to still notice and acknowledge us. This works both ways so guys, stop playing the video games and girls stop being DIVAS and acknowledge your husband when he comes home after a long day.
4. You have to be spiritually compatible as well, this is important. There is always controversy when two different religions marry not saying that they won't be happy together but, it is much more of a challenge.
5. And, here is the key communication, this is hard for black men especially, most of them although not all have the worst time communicating. Just open up and remember you are now ONE! You have to be trusting and know your wife will listen. Wives we must remember this as well once your husband opens up always listen to what he has to say.

All the love making comes after this because without the steps above it really means nothing. You are just two people having sex.
