Equality For One Is A Step In Equality For All

I know I have been slacking a bit since the giveaway, but my apologies. I have been overwhelmed with a multitude of things to do on top of being sick for two weeks. But I am back, and hopefully will be able to stay on track. I have several things backed up that I wanted to post about, but I will have to keep them on the back burner as I can’t let this post slip buy.

If you spend any amount of time on the internet, social media especially, that this past Friday June 26 the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was legal nation wide. Now it just so happened that in the town I live in our Pride Festival was already scheduled for Saturday the 27, and I had already made plans with friends to go in support of so many people I love that are a part of the LGBT community. It definitely made for an even more joyous occasion than usual.

You may be asking yourself what this has to do with fashion or even body positivity. But really at the heart of both of those topics, at least when its concerning plus sizes, is equality. We all just want to be treated equally. We want to be offered the same selection of clothing as misses sizes. We want the same respect shown to us as the so called “regular” sizes. And I personally think that no matter which group makes a stride in equality its a step forward for all of us. We should support and respect one another.

I unfortunately did not snap a picture od my outfit from yesterday, but I did get a selfie of me and my husband that showed off my fun eyeshadow. And I wanted share some of the highlight pictures of the fun outfits other people had on and activities going on at Pride Fest.

Fun With Cosmetics Giveaway!

So my much talked about and awaited (and unfortunately delayed) cosmetics giveaway is finally here. First I want to say, as much as I would have liked to have had some sponsored items to giveaway, I was not able to arrange it for this particular one. It may still happen in the near future, but just not now. So what does that mean? It simply means instead of the companies sending me some things to give you, I footed the bill for this giveaway. Why? Because I really think giveaways are fun, and its a way for me to do something nice for you, my readers.

Now, lets get down to what brought us all here, the giveaway. Here are the details on what you can win.

2 Third Prize Winners

will receive the Complete Timey Wimey Set in sample size from Geek Chic Cosmetics.

Geek Chic’s eye shadows are pigment shadows, so this will actually last longer than your average sample if used right.
