Looking Forward to Seeing You at FDRS 2024!

Hello!

I have missed you ALL!  Today, I’m popping in to remind you about the FDRS 2024 Annual Conference in St. Louis starting tomorrow! THIS is our annual event for Lipedema, Dercum’s and other connected diseases.

The FDRS (Fat Disorders Resource Society) is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people affected by adipose tissue disorders. This year’s exciting lineup of experts will discuss non-surgical and surgical options to manage Lipedema, Dercum’s, and Madelung’s disease.

For the THIRD year in a row, I’ll be hosting the fashion show and helping the Lipedema Education Group (LEG)  talk about our new initiatives to serve patients and practioners. You can find out more about our work here https://community.lipedema.com/  and how you can become part of this new community.  This is the fifth year I have attended FDRS and, I am amazed to reflect that it is the third FDRS fashion show I have coordinated / hosted, and the fifth I’ve participated in as a model! During the past two months, I have had the pleasure of working individually with our model volunteers to ensure they showcase outfits that bring out their glow.

There is STILL TIME to join us starting tomorrow!  Here’s the link to register for the conference: Register Here. You can attend either virtually or in-person in St. Louis. Also, I’ll be offering a free two-hour fashion styling session for all attendees! When registering, use the code fdrs2024 for the promotional 2 hr fashion styling session. https://thecurvygirlbeth.com/work-with-me/ 

I’m so looking forward to seeing my Lipedema Gals for another great year of fashion, learning and togetherness. Hope to see you there at FDRS this weekend! And, remember, you, too, can book in for a fashion styling appointment as a virtual attendee, too.  https://thecurvygirlbeth.com/work-with-me/ 

On another note, Mother’s Day is just around the corner.  Here are some of my favorite brands that I love and have discount codes to pass on to you. Hope this helps!

Making My Mother Proud: Macy’s Affiliate Announcement

Oh, how my Mother would be SO thrilled, amazed, and even proud! In my family, we didn’t celebrate moments we should have been proud of because we were taught to be humble regardless of the accomplishment. It’s hard for me to let go of this habit, so know that when I share with you the latest happenings in my life, it’s a growth moment, because I am actually going out of my way purposefully to share in the interest of learning and blossoming further into myself and my entrepreneur journey.

With all that said, I am totally excited myself!!! Not only is Macy’s one of the largest and oldest department stores in the USA, it is also MY personal favorite since childhood! I grew up a mile from the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, New York, and Macy’s was an anchor department store. Later, when I moved to California, while I was living in San Diego, I was recruited to become a part of the Human Resources team at Macy’s in Sherman Oaks at the Fashion Square Mall. That was a dream come true!

For me, this is all a return to my beginnings. I studied Business in College; Marketing was my major and Advertising was my minor. Plus, I had a concentration in Fashion. (Doesn’t it all make sense now? lol) Now that I’m a Macy’s affiliate, you will be able to shop through my link for any product they carry online. If the purchase is eligible, I may earn a commission. And, if there are special sales or discounts I can offer, you will be the first to know!

I believe Macy’s is the ultimate place to shop because you can find most things there. Of course, I enjoy the clothing options. They offer a broad range of sizes and good quality pieces. At the FDRS conference in Atlanta last weekend, I wore three dresses from Macy’s. I even had to stop by their Perimeter location to buy a pair of pajamas because I needed something warmer to sleep in than what I brought. In addition to all the clothing items anyone could need, they also have wonderful offerings for jewelry, perfumes, shoes, makeup, purses/belts, furniture, bedding, housewares, collectibles, and toys.

Take a look at my Macy’s link here and let me know what you ordered. I’d appreciate it if you’d save my link to shop through anytime you’re shopping at Macy’s. And, if you need some help with styling, remember you can schedule a discovery call with me to see if it would be helpful to work together. We can shop virtually together!  (I know a bit about interior decorating too and I’ve got awesome staging skills.)

Each of my dresses were well received and they got lots of compliments. Take a look and you’ll notice the quality and design.

I hope you find some items you’ve been looking for and this helps to make your summer shopping easier. I’m sure that you’ll find what you need at Macy’s!

~ Beth

PS – Let me know if there are brands you’d like me to reach out to so I can ask for discounts to share.
