SEPTEMBER 2020 NEWSLETTER

OK ... Full confession ... I'm not exactly the same size I was in high school ... or college .. or before I had a child.   Like most women, over the years I've watched my body transform and change, sometimes in ways I appreciated, sometimes in ways I did not anticipate.  I'm so glad to see society start to take steps towards embracing body types other than the traditional "25 year old, blonde haired, blue eyed, size 4" that has been accepted as the standard of beauty since I was a young girl.  I can tell you that, based on experience, we as women are often our own worst critics.  It's not always the men who have pushed stereotypical standards of beauty.  It has really been a coordinated effort of the Eurocentric fashion and beauty industry.  For so many years the media has promoted one standard of beauty.  That's is why I'm proud to be a social media influencer and boutique owner who promotes beauty in all shapes, sizes and ages.  Whether it's promoting beautiful Black women, offering fashionable inclusive size apparel, or promoting self care and exercise on my YouTube channel, I'll always promote diversity and inclusion!



By popular demand, we are now offering size small in our most popular designs!  In our goal of being inclusive, TheUnFrumpyMommyStore originally opened with an emphasis on selling larger sizes up to 4XL.  We appreciate the love and appreciation you all showed us for stocking larger sizes!  That being said, we received soooo much positive feedback from those of you who wanted smaller sizes, or wanted shirts for your young daughters.  Here are just a few of the shirts that are popular in smaller sizes:

How about this GORGEOUS mother daughter duo representing beauty at all ages!!  Titiana Palmer (TT Party of 6 on YouTube) and her daughter rocking the Undefeated and Melanin T-Shirt.  Generational Beauty - WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

There are definitely pluses and minuses to this new social media driven world we live in.  While there is some negativity out there, one of the things I think we can all appreciate is that it has given a voice to groups that were previously under-represented in "traditional" media and entertainment.  Here are a few Instagrammers and bloggers that promote inclusivity and diversity...

YouTube Black - promoting Black YouTubers and Content
The Barker - A lifestyle blog and digital domicile for personal story-telling, self-expression and cultural commentary quirks.	
Of course we can't forget our own UnFrumpyMommy.  Tan's Instagram is all about providing a fresh perspective on lifestyle over 40.

A large part of Tan's social media content is devoted to self care, staying fit, overall health and positive self image.
