What is Beauty?
What is Beauty? Is it the curve of a woman's back? Is it her strength and resilience? Is a woman's beauty defined by how lady like she is? This question is such a broad and open-ended question, yet, we try to answer it everyday. We answer this question through the clothes we wear, our reaction to different body types. We even answer this question through our actions. Each of us in some way is displaying our version of beauty every second of the day. With such a broad question with multiple answers, why do we choose to pigeonhole our expressions? As the old saying goes
There are 6 BILLION versions of beauty.
Let that sink in a bit. Your beauty is unique to you simply because you're you. Our fat thighs, skinny waist, long or short hair, big feet and slim build have absolutely nothing to do with our beauty. It's all about you. Your external beauty is simply an extension of your true beauty. Again, your 32 or 55 inch waist is NOT a determinate of your beauty.
Do we live in a world where malnourished models are praised for their " timeless " beauty? Absolutely! Is it easier to be labeled sexy with 34-32-38 as your body measurements? Of course, that's the society we live in. However, this does not have to alter the way you see yourself. Yes, the very day woman would like to lose a few pounds but until then, her self esteem shouldn't waiver and yours shouldn't either.
Beauty is physical. Beauty is strength. Beauty is external. Beauty is quiet. Beauty is bold. Beauty is tangible. Beauty is attainable. Beauty is internal. Beauty is YOU.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholderWith over 6 billion people on the planet you'd think that by now we'd understand there are over 6 billion versions of beautiful.

Empowerment and Body Image Consciousness
THE SITUATION
Women are stylish, sexy, confident, nurturing, intelligent beast. What can't we do? That was a rhetorical question so don't bother to answer. Throughout my short twenty something years on this earth I've run into some pretty awesome women; doctors, professors, house wives, engineers, even private dancers. Each of these women were strong and accomplished in their own right. However,
while holding conversations with these lovely ladies about my intended plans for KEBB
, I heard the same insecurities reveal themselves. Each of these ladies no matter the waist size or education, all had similar hang ups about their bodies. I was a bit perplexed. You often hear of talk shows producing segments about beautiful accomplished women with very little self esteem. But I'd never actually spoken to a pretty girl that felt un-pretty.

while holding conversations with these lovely ladies about my intended plans for KEBB
One night while partying with the girls I overheard two young ladies chatting it up at the local watering hole. The conversation was very racy and controversial. You guessed it, hair. Natural hair vs weave. One young lady had a head full of beautiful, thick, black hair. Her friend, who I'm guessing wasn't a very close friend, was trying to convince the other to perm or install a weave unit. She was explaining how much more attractiveness her friend would exude if her hair was styled a particular way. The not so close friend began telling her how much men preferred women to look a certain way. By then I was livid and had to stop listening.
We are more than our hairstyles or the bodies we adorn with expensive trendy clothing everyday. And conversations like that show the work that is still needed in our "dainty" community. No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing your hair a certain way or a specific outfit to please a significant other. However, the thinking that evoked such a conversation is heard constant around the world. Daily women are taught to be pleasing to the eye. Yet, where are the dialogues teaching our young women to be and look pleasing to themselves.
KURVY ETIQUETTE'S MISSION
In 2014 I want to begin dialogues and construct a plan to get women on track with loving themselves completely, without the pressure of pleasing another. It's my vision that women of all sizes learn to love and enjoy the bodies they are in. Of course, there is nothing wrong with change. In fact change is constant and needed in order to evolve. Who we truly are, how we perceive ourselves and how we evolve are my concerns. Taking the appropriate measures to ensure your complete happiness and body-esteem are essential to your evolution. The steps needed in understanding your worth and being comfortable in your body are the building blocks to sexiness. And from the mouths of several men, there is nothing sexier than a confident woman. Through motivational segments, simple applications to achieve inner and external sex appeal, and a host of other easy to use empowerment tools, KEBB will inspire a movement for positive body consciousness and self worth.

Festive Leg Wear
It's the first day of winter and I'm feeling a little frisky. And what better way to celebrate my woman hood than to slip on some sexy undergarments, let my hair down, and enjoy a glass of chilled eggnog. Within the last two months I've stocked my boudoir with colorful, sparkly, sexy winter tights. They are a great accessory to any dress or skirt, especially during this holiday season. Fun flirty colors such as mustard yellow, deep purples, and yes, even argile inspired patterns? However, my favorite thus far for winter 2013 are my semi sheer black Just My Size tights. Every time I wear them I feel sexy and uber feminine. Now according to mama's etiquette rules my skirts should pass my knees. In her book that's how a lady should look while wearing a pair of sheer stockings or tights. Well, of course we do things a little different at KURVY Etiquette. Forget your mothers rules....well, some of them. Throw those awesome prints on your beautiful curvaceous legs and slide on that mini. Tis the season for office parties and family get together. The perfect tights will definitely turn heads when you walk in the room.
