Etoile
What is your name and what do you do?
My name is Ursula Morris. I am a single mom and an aspiring entertainer.
What are you passionate about?
My passions are my family, writing music and performing.
What are your goals and dreams?
What are your goals and dreams?
My goal and dream is to become a successful songwriter and actress.
What words of advice can you offer curvy bella's in pursuit of their dreams?
My advice would be to believe in yourself and to never allow people,
situations or disappointments to ever deter you from your dreams. Remind
yourself daily that you can do it, and put your dreams into everyday
situations. Your heart will lead the way... your determination will do the
driving. Also, it is important to always surround yourself with positive
people who share your dreams and visions. Having support and mentors will
benefit you, by keeping you motivated and provide you with the skills to
bring your dreams to reality. More importantly, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Having
knowledge will let people know you mean business.
What sage words of advice can you give 'curvy's' about being comfortable
in their skin?
Being comfortable in your skin begins with loving who you
are, but this doesn't always come easy. Take a look at yourself in the
mirror, acknowledge your beauty. Embrace what makes you who you are. When
you are confident and secure on the inside, it will definitely shine on the outside.
As a curvy what are your fashion do's and what are your fashion 'oh no you didn't? My curvy Do's: are to always accentuate the positive. No curvealicious woman
is built the same. Don't be afraid to tastefully show what you got! Also,
you should always mix it up a bit. Try different patterns, colors, and
textures. Know the power of great accessories and shoes.
My Curvy 'oh no you didn't': Avoid what I call "Curvy Spillage"...LOL! Since we do have
curves, we need to be careful what we wear, or we might have an overload,
which results in spillage. Sometimes too much can be too much.
Where can everyday curvy's on a budget find fashions that flatter their
figures?
Well depending on just how curvy you are, there are stores that cater to curvy woman, such as Lane Bryant. But you can also find great styles for great prices at stores such as Burlington, Marshalls and TJMaxx. Don't rule out big department stores such as Macy's and Bloomingdales. There are bargains out there; it just might take a little searching.
What is 'next' for you?
Well, I am staring in an Independent film that is currently being packaged for shopping and distribution; I am also working on my song writing. I am researching different networking opportunities to get more notoriety and exposure. So look out for me at a theater near you!

So this week step out of your shell and a accentuate some of your positives. I bet you'll feel like a million bucks!

ReplyDelete@Michelle - We often pay to much attention to the so caled "negatives". The "positives" are what matter.
