Hey there! My name is Carmen and I am the creator of Curvy is Beautiful (www.curvyisbeautiful.com.au) and this blog.  So what’s this all about? (And no it’s not just another online store!) Yes I sell clothes, BUT the most important part of what I’m doing here, is trying to promote more of a social acceptance of women of all shapes and sizes and helping women look and feel good about themselves regardless of their size …. something I am truly passionate about.

I am a curvy girl myself, and can honestly say that I know what it feels like to want to look gorgeous but to feel like you don’t. I know what it’s like to be made to feel that you should be a certain size in order to be happy, healthy or accepted in society and I know what it’s like to be disappointed with the way that you look on the outside and feel on the inside.

I’ll be honest and say that like every woman, I have my bad days. But as time goes on I am learning that there is more to life than worrying about how much we should or shouldn’t weigh, counting calories or striving to look like someone we’re not. We should love who we are not only on the inside but on the outside. Embrace your shape, love your curves, dress to impress and feel good about yourself. Show your body the love it deserves and know that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL just the way you are because beauty is not determined by that number on the back of your clothes…..beauty is what you make it.
