MEOW: Taye Diggs! Whatever will I wear?

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - It's been a while since my last Taye Diggs experience. Over the years, I've met him at a movie event here and there. Sometimes, his timing can be often off in person or maybe he just gets tired of being sexually harassed at work by slobering fans. I wouldn't call him socially awkward, butt he can be hit or miss with fans. But, man, he is delicious to look at!

These days, Taye seems his most authentic self when talking fatherhood. When he talks about his son, it can melt iron. That's why I am excited to be asked to be on hand as he discusses his new children's book, Mixed Me, which is a follow up to his first children's book, Chocolate Me. I heard him read from it once but I couldn't pay attention. His pearly whites and sexy visual image made him sound like the teacher on Charlie Brown.

PREVIEW: Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore shine in "Miss You Already"

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - When you think of life, you think of trying to get everything you can out of it. That's what Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore do in the movie, "Miss You Already," which hits studios on November 6, 2015.

I spent the morning with Toni (United States of Tara) and a couple dozen mom bloggers screening the movie in New York City, noshing on a delicious breakfast prepared by Chef Bailey and holding pretty tight to my box of tissues supplied by Cold-Eeze, which sponsored the event. We were given swag bags with their latest products including a new Children's version. 

I laughed. I laughed until I cried and I left feeling grateful for life.

RECAP: Arthitis Foundation "Crystal Ball" raises $100,000+ at Ritz in Atlanta

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - It was an enchanted evening on October 17, 2015 when the Georgia Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation hosted their annual Crystal Ball.

With a theme of "Southern Hospitality" the night began with hor d'oeuvres, cocktails and a silent auction featuring top notch prizes, original artwork and more. Elegant ball gowns, jewelry and shoes were everywhere. It was a very elegant way to raise $100,000.

A recent study found that obesity plays a big part of the problem. While this blog celebrates positive body image, it's important to point out that Arthitis can be better managed with weight control.
