Finding plus-size clothing is hard, finding something that makes me feel sexy is even harder. Lady Black Tie offers a wonderful selection of special occasion dresses. They are located in Hudson, MA, and offer a small showroom as well as online shopping.
The Ellie Velvet Wrap Maxi Dress is a stunning full-length velvet dress with a sexy leg slit. The fabric has a slight stretch and I am wearing a size 2xl. I wish this dress came in a 3xl because I feel like it would it better. The dress is super cute though and I feel super sexy when I wear it.

Taco vs Burrito and Bold Made Card Games:
My husband and I are always looking for ideas for date night and that is where Taco vs Burrito and Bold Made come into play.
Taco vs Burrito was created by a 7-year-old. This game is super fun and involves “building” a taco or a burrito. You draw cards, can reduce the value, double the value or even pull a Crafty Crow action card. The player with the most points in the end wins. This card game surpassed the initial goal on Kickstarter by 2,400% and is fun for the entire family.

Bold Made is a play on one of my favorite card games from when I was a kid, Old Maid. Each card features a woman who has made important contributions to society and the world at large. I love playing this game with kids to help teach them about these phenomenal women. There are 3 ways to play the game, so you get 3 in 1! You can play Bold Made Advanced, Bold Made Classic, and Go Bold.
You can purchase it for $19.99.

Limited Edition Valentine’s Day Bath Bombs by Dabble & Dollop:
This lovely little limited edition set features six pink one-inch bath bombs in alternating coconut and guava scents. Let me just say these bath bombs smell AMAZING!

Fracture also offers ready-to-ship photos as part of their collections or you can order photo walls.
Fracture’s prices range from $25 for a 5″x5″ to $145 for a 21.6″x28.8″

Finding plus-sized clothing is hard, finding plus-size underwear that is sexy is near impossible. Bloomers are dedicated to changing that! They are bringing sexy full-waisted panties to sizes small-XXL and they are celebrating all different body types through their social media posts and the models they use. A review on their website says “Ridiculously comfortable for such pretty underwear” and I agree! These not only make me feel sexy but they are incredibly comfortable. I would love to see them extend their sizes to cover more and hope that is something they consider in the future.
You can purchase Bloomers for $38 and they are available in onyx, amethyst, rose quartz, and pearl. Each order also comes with a laundry bag!

I am someone who suffers from chronic pain daily due to Ankylosing Spondylitis. Pillow Slides offer comfort as well as balance the pressure so my hips and legs receive a little bit of relief. I’m not going to lie, I’m not 100% pain-free but I will take ANY relief I can get. The anti-slip textured material also means the risk of falling is low.
