The end of the decade is almost here! (Cue the dramatic “Dun-Dun” music for effect.) We’re all feeling the pressure of wrapping up Q4 and preparing for the upcoming year. What better way to start the forthcoming year than to subscribe to blogs that will be informative, feed your soul, and of course; snatch your edges from time to time.
Bloggers catch our attention with their fashion and content yet consistently drop gems we genuinely need. We all have our favorite in the game. Bloggers have almost completely replaced the traditional way of reaching audiences.

Ok, let’s get into these New Plus Size Bloggers
1. Kayla Anderson (TheLushDiva)
The Lush Diva is a blogger and business owner based out of South Carolina whose primary goal is to help women grow abundantly confident through affordable fashion and beauty. Soon after launching her e-commerce site, The Lush Diva started her blog so she could spread the tips she routinely shared with her customers with women all over.
2020 Goals: LushDivas ltd co. is a business that is continuously evolving to meet the needs of our customers. In the next year, we hope to expand our product line with lush loungewear and to continue to provide high-quality beauty accessories that help every woman discover her inner diva. As for her blog, Lush has been working extremely hard to create high-quality content in the realms of fashion and beauty for her followers. Lush hopes to become a household name on her ability to inspire confidence within women!
2. Jeaiza Quinones (GyulMeetsWorld)
Jeaiza Quinones is a plus-size model, blogger, and content creator from the U.S. Virgin Islands. She owns and operates Gyul Meets World, a blog named after the 90s sitcom “Boy Meets World” as a tribute to the show’s coverage of a wide range of life lessons and growing pains. In St. Croix, where she was born and raised, the word “gyul” is the Crucian dialect for “girl.” This reflects her mission to incorporate Caribbean culture into everything that she does. Currently, Gyul Meets World is a hub for all those who don’t necessarily fit into societal norms: plus size women, people of color, and people of Caribbean descent who often have difficulty breaking into influencer spaces or accepting themselves for who they are.
2020 Goals: I hope to launch my first podcast under the same name (Gyul Meets World) as well as to begin funding other aspiring content creators. The ultimate goal is to sponsor three creators next year with the tools they need to launch their dream projects.
3. Alicia Young (APYBlog)
Alicia, aka AP, is a writer, blogger, and public speaker who has built her platform on speaking her truth regardless of how unflattering it might be. Her Blog APYoungBlog is amazing. Her advocacy includes but is not limited to mental health awareness, body diversity, navigating life with chronic illness, and parenting children with special needs. AP has a fierce love of all things fashion and beauty; as a result, she launched her very own cosmetics line AP Young Beauty Collection in May 2019. Her goal with AP Young Beauty is to provide affordable cosmetics; beauty on a budget!
2020 Goals: In the future, I’d love for my blog to become synonymous with being a resource for self-care. As for AP Young Beauty Collection, the goal is to continue to grow until we are a household name.
