🌟 What it's like to be a poll worker 🇺🇸⁣
⁣
Today I was officially sworn in as a poll worker and worked my first shift. It wasn't the most mentally stimulating work, but it was important.⁣
⁣
I loved seeing the diversity of my community and parents bringing their children along to share the importance of voting. Many voters thanked me for volunteering, but I wanted to thank them for voting.⁣
⁣
Shoutout to my fellow poll workers across the country 🤜 @mariedenee @cannontekstar @wardrobe_oxygen @mariadelrusso

⁣
Democracy requires participation to be truly representative, We need to all work together and recognize our individual responsibilities by participating in the process.⁣
⁣
If you haven't voted yet, please make sure you have a plan. If you can still register to vote in time for your state's election, I am begging you from the bottom of my heart to vote in this election. Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top.

#ad I felt safer staying in a hotel than I ever have while grocery shopping 😷

When I was first approached about a staycation trip with @21cbentonville, @crystalbridgesmuseum, and @themomentary, I was excited but cautious. There are so many factors to take into consideration before leaving our homes, so I was glad when I was sent information about how seriously they were taking public safety - not just for influencers.

At @21chotels, no one - including hotel staff - would be entering our room for 48 hours after we checked out. Our temperature was taken every time we entered the lobby and masks were required, even in the hallway on our floor. We were given a menu for both @thehivebentonville and snacks kept behind reception, hand sanitizer and wipes in the room, with sanitizer stations easily accessible throughout the hotel. When we were ready to check out, I called down to the front desk and let them know I was leaving. It was that simple.

I know that I'm not the only one who has to travel for work, which is why I wanted to share how comforted I was by the abundance of caution. Even my mom has already been required to travel for her job.

Should you find yourself away from home, here's what I recommend:

1: Call the hotel and ask about their policies. If you don't feel like they are prioritizing your health and the health of their staff, don't stay there if possible.

2: Scout where you'll want to get carryout & delivery from ahead of time. Naturally, we grabbed charcuterie plates to go from @sweetfreedomcheese because I'm spoiled.

3: If you are entering public spaces, like a museum, research their policies beforehand. @crystalbridgesmuseum requires masks and free timed tickets for entry in order to maintain 1/3 capacity. While @themomentary doesn't require timed tickets, you may be asked to wait to enter, also to maintain 1/3 capacity. The bonus about The Momentary, in particular, is there is so much to see & do outside. Grab a frozen drink from The Rhode Bar, play bocce ball, or lounge on the lawn.

There are absolutely ways to get outside the house and stay safe, even in your own backyard!

Imagine feeling welcome in every room you walk into, or every chair you sit in, or every seat belt you buckle, or every store you shop. Oh, what a world *deep sigh* 🗺⁣
⁣
It's an impossible standard to achieve, but that won't stop me from working to ensure that someday someone will not know what it's like to feel someone's disdain for your existence or wonder if a dress comes in your size.⁣
⁣
Every time I visit @crystalbridgesmuseum or @themomentary, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having these inspiring spaces (with free admission!!) just 20 minutes away.⁣
⁣
Tell me, where do you wish you belonged?⁣

#AD Is there racism in heaven?⁣
⁣
That's the question that @nickcaveart explores in his exhibit #NickCaveUntil⚡, now open at @themomentary through January 3, 2021.⁣ #autumnartinarkansas
⁣
This work is designed to question gender, race, and violence - particularly gun violence - in America.⁣
⁣
On this, the evening of the first Presidential debate, I cannot imagine a more important conversation to have with ourselves, our neighbors, and our loved ones. Is this who we want to be? Is this the future we imagined as we poured our energy and bank accounts chasing some dream that may never be attainable?⁣
⁣
If you live in #nwark, I hope you will take the opportunity to visit this thought-provoking exhibit, if for no reason other than the fact that you get to climb a giant ladder onto a chandeliered cloud.⁣

🐶 𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴! 🐾🍁🍂

I've been depressed for what is likely my entire adult life and since losing my beloved Lola Belle in 2017, I haven't had many reasons to get up and out of bed.

Like so many others who adopted during the pandemic, I am so grateful that @BlueberryFlowers needs 1-2 hours of exercise a day (no matter how inconvenient it may be).

We love seeking out activities where we can include Blue and still stay socially distant. One weekend we took her for a walk on the #CBTrails where she had to smell everything, climb atop everything, and take command of the entire trail. She's bossy like that!

We're planning on enjoying an outdoor picnic with her soon and hopefully 🤞 a trip to the local drive in. Heck, we've even taken her to Lowe's!

Now that we found her, I cannot imagine our life, our home, and even our relationship without her. How did we all live without pets?!?!?

🍁Fall is my favorite season for getting outdoors! 🎃

What is your favorite festive fall activity?

I looked forward to apple picking upstate every year when I lived in Brooklyn. Here in Arkansas, we don't have as many apple orchards, but we do have corn mazes, hayrides, and sunflower fields.

Like so many of you, fall is my favorite season and this is one of my favorite outfits. Easy & classic, the faux leather leggings + chambray shirt + ankle boots combo has never failed me. These @diane.gilman leggings from @hsn were a complete surprise.They not only come in multiple lengths & sizes 000-26, but they have held up for 4+ years of wear.

We all owe her a debt of gratitude.⁣

Thank you for your courage of conviction. Your grace. Your passion. Your ability to befriend your idealogical opposite. Your wit. Your charm. For leading by example. For being our champion. ⁣
⁣
2020 feels eternally punishing. Vote. Please. I'm begging you.⁣
⁣
I feel so unbelievably lucky that I had the good fortune of seeing her speak in Little Rock last year. This is a photo from that day and her crumpled tote on the floor at her feet still makes me smile.

🌟 INSPIRATIONAL BLACK CREATORS 🌟⁠
⁠
As promised (but late, as per usual), these are just a handful of the incredible Black creators that keep my feed full of inspiration, good energy, and joy. ⁠
⁠
I'd love for you to share your Black creators in the comments below so we can all infuse a bit more magic into our feeds. 🌠⁠
⁠
♥ @lvernon2000⁠
A breath of fresh air, Leah is constantly pushing the boundaries and shifting definitions as a plus-size hijabi model. Her posts always make me smile. ⁠
⁠
♥ @theglossier ⁠
No one inspires me more creatively than Tasha. She is one of those people who creates magic out of thin air. If I am ever feeling visually uninspired, her feed is the first place I visit.⁠
⁠
♥ @curvynyome⁠
No one has proven that fat bodies - and especially Black fat bodies - are political more than Nyome. She turned a tasteful, topless photo into #iwanttoseenyome, a movement that caused Instagram to rethink their policies surrounding semi-nude fat bodies. ⁠
⁠
♥ @kihmberlie⁠
Most creative content appears without explanation, but Kimberly not only creates editorial photos that would put Vogue to shame, but she shares a behind-the-scenes look at how she created the set. We stan a generous queen!p⁠
⁠
♥ @misslionhunter⁠
Musemo embodies everything I love about the plus-size fashion community. Her photos, videos, and words are filled with passion, intelligence, and creativity in a way that is completely unmatched in fashion - plus size or otherwise. ⁠
⁠
♥ @itsmekellieb⁠
To see how Kellie transformed her platform throughout the years has been a thing of beauty. In the past few years, she's really hit her stride with an iconic merch line (no pun intended), upcoming podcast, and the #andigetdressed community page. ⁠
⁠
♥ @sabrinastyled⁠
Sabrina is a style chameleon. She can be whimsical one day and relaxed the next, but you can always count on her to be authentic. ⁠
⁠
♥ @kellyaugustineb⁠
Kelly is a multi-talented powerhouse, but her poses are truly inspiring. As plus-size women we have preconceived notions of what she "should" or "can't" do, but Kelly consistently proves that we are not defined by our size. ⁠
