  Common Fashion Mistakes Plus-Size Mature Women Make (Over 50)] & How to Fix Them! Hey everyone, welcome back to Wraparound Plus! If you’re new here, I’m Angela, and today, we’re talking about something super important—common fashion mistakes that plus-size women over 50 often make, and more importantly, how to fix them! So, if you’re looking to level up your style, feel comfortable, and look amazing no matter your size or age! 1. Wearing Baggy or Oversized Clothing One of the most common mistakes is hiding behind oversized or baggy clothing. It can feel tempting to go for the loose fit, thinking it will hide areas you're not comfortable with." But in reality, baggy clothes can actually make you look larger and shapeless.

  Where have I been: Dealing with illness and grief Losing a teenage child to leukemia is an unimaginable loss, and coping with this grief requires deep emotional support, time, and patience. It's important to allow yourself to feel the full range of emotions—anger, sadness, guilt, and even numbness—without judgment. Seeking professional grief counseling can provide a safe space to process these overwhelming feelings. Support groups, especially those specifically for parents who have lost children, can be incredibly comforting, offering a sense of community with people who understand your pain. Incorporating rituals, like creating a memory box, writing letters to your child, or establishing a tradition to honor their life, can help keep their memory alive in a healing way. Leaning on family and friends, or even finding creative outlets, like art, journaling, or gardening, can offer moments of respite. Remember, there is no "right" way to grieve, and healing doesn’t mean f...
