New on FBG
From the Blogs
Every fashion magazine, at some point, will ask you if you are classic or trendy. I fall into the classic category, except on the far extreme end of that box.

I get that, but since joining the Fit Bottomed Girl crew, I’ve learned that everything is good in moderation, and that includes bragging.… Continue reading

What Do You Want to See in the Next Five Years?

Being vegan or gluten-free was “weird,”… Continue reading
