My hobby…painting my fingernails #31DayMarch

nail polishes

Here's a little piece of Jessi trivia, until this past year, I'd never had a hobby -- like, ever. There's just nothing that ever kept my attention for a long period of time. It wasn't for a lack of looking, I just never found anything that stuck outside of listening to music and watching a ridiculous number of bad B-movie horror flicks. Then, about eight months ago, I started painting my nails. It started out with quick home manicures, but quickly escalated to a full-on events. When I sit down to do my nails, it's a process that usually takes a couple hours from start to finish -- and … [Read more...]

Fall is officially here, and that means it’s time to pull out all our long sleeves and sweaters to start experimenting with some warmer styles. Since we still have a few days left where the weather is just right, I thought it would be fun to dress up a denim skirt. The nice thing about denim skirts during this time of year is you can pair them with some fun leggings to keep warmer! For our outfit of the week, I thought it would be cool to put a turquoise tank underneath a leopard patterned long sleeve shirt. Not only does it boast a nice pop of color, but it adds a touch of modesty if … [Read more...]

How to Take Your Bra Measurements at Home

how to measure bra size at home

A few weeks back, I posted about the literal pains of an ill-fitting bra. Today, I’d like to take a moment to talk to you about how to take your bra measurements at home. Getting the proper measurements is the only way to ensure you find a bra that’s just right for you. Weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and many other factors affect not just our bodies, but change our tatas as well. It's these natural body changes which make it so important to know our bra measurements from year to year, because what may fit today may not tomorrow. In the past, I've recommended you try to get a … [Read more...]

This week our lovely outfit was inspired by fall. With the nights getting a bit chillier, we felt it’s time to bust out the layers. So, we went all out on this beautiful fall look. Our outfit starts with a white long sleeved top and a pair of dark denim jeans. We spice it up by adding a soft gray short sleeve sweater to give the outfit more detail, and a turquoise necklace for a pop of color. We matched our bag, suede jacket and shoes to the rich autumn classic, chocolate brown. Layers can be fun and great for the fall when the weather transitions from warm to cool. Plus, with layers, … [Read more...]

Heads Up! Welcome to the MGF fam, Melony!

Recently, I became concerned that our new friend Carlos may be lonely. While he truly embodies MGF style and attitude, I thought it would be nice for him to have a partner in crime to shoulder some of the responsibilities. So, I decided to craft him a buddy that could assist him in his modeling duties. Meet Melony. Melony hails from Sally’s. She was feeling a bit too ordinary when I found her, and so, with loving care, I added some, dare I say it, flair, to her look. What disembodied head doesn’t like an "in yo' face" pop of color? For Melony, however, we thought it would be fun … [Read more...]
