The Christmas season is my absolute favorite. I love the cold weather where I can sport boots and scarves, the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the beautiful decorations, music and generous hearts. It all mixes together to make me feel all warm inside. But apart from all the festivities comes the shopping. Oh, the shopping! Everything and…

A Breakdown to a Breakthrough
This weekend my husband and I had one of those epic fights. If you’re married now or have ever been married, you know what I’m talking about. It seems to happen about once a year. A knock-down drag out fight that really defines the relationship. It’s painful to go through but we always come out…
Hips Don’t Lie 36,000 Feet Up
I arrived two hours early with a bit of anxiety about the flight I was about to take. Thoughts had been mulling over inside of my head about how things would work out for me. It would be the first time I would travel in my extra plus sized body. I kept hoping that my…
If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit, Why Am I Wearing It?
I think everyone who is a size 14 and up can say that finding decent clothing that fits well is a challenge. Every time I have to find an outfit for a special event, I feel like I am gearing up for battle. I know there’s a good chance I’ll visit 6 different stores only…
The Day I Found a Workout I Don’t Absolutely Hate
I don’t know what it is about working out but you basically have to drag me anywhere for me to actually get in any gym. I just don’t enjoy exercising. I’ve tried just about everything under the sun and while I’ve found some things I enjoy more than others, anytime my body isn’t 100% comfortable,…

I Have a Limit
I realize this is a body positive blog and I constantly encourage others to love themselves right where they are. That will never change. I personally work hard every day to find joy in my current size. However, I do have a limit and I don’t think anything’s wrong with that. There’s no doubt that…
Let’s Talk Panties!
Oh boy, this is a subject! Ever since I’ve been plus sized, I’ve struggled finding underwear. In fact, when I gained a substantial amount of weight after my pregnancy, I found that only maternity panties were doing the trick for me. Talk about not feeling sexy, huh? I mean, yeah there are plenty of brands…
Repost: Is Body Positive Movement Just a Trend?
2016 kicked off as an exciting year for the body positive movement. It looked like some great strides were being made as to how society viewed beauty. I have to admit, I was fairly excited to see what the results would look like if the media really began to back idea and, for a while,…
