It’s been a while; did you miss me? Let’s talk about bras… well, one in particular. As someone who’s had large breasts almost all my life (C cup at age 12!!), it hasn’t been easy finding a good sports bra that doesn’t make the girls look like a huge uniboob, especially as I got older… Continue reading Review: The Elite Performance Adjustable Support Bra by Glamorise
There are countless articles and blogs on weight loss (whether intentionally or unintentionally) but few positive discussions about when the numbers on a scale creep up and it’s not due to being due to have a baby…. and by positive discussion I don’t mean suggesting diets or other ways to lose weight. Weight gain happens. It… Continue reading When You Gain Weight
It’s said that the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. Here’s my confession: I am a pack rat. There’s a shelf crammed with various “special edition” Monopoly as well as at least a dozen other board games. I have boxes full of CD’s and DVD’s. There are storage areas in my home with stuff I… Continue reading Cleaning Out Our Closets
We’re almost 2 weeks into the New Year… how’s it going for you so far? With the snow, bitter-cold temperatures and still feeling lethargic, I’ve spent the weekends curled up on the couch with Ken, binging our favorite movies and TV shows. Health-wise, things are promising. The full body scan I underwent a few weeks… Continue reading Me and My Big, Fat Mouth
But first a look at 2017: OK so my posing still needs improvement but I… … had lots of wonderful times with Ken, family and friends … made some new friends … went out of my comfort zone to wear white pants and more skirts … took part in Smart Glamour’s #AllMeansAll: Size photo campaign …… Continue reading Looking ahead to 2018
It’s Thanksgiving and here I am…. at home, makeup free and in my comfy sweatpants and t-shirt, almost recovered from a bout with the flu. The turkey and sides were delicious, leftovers are put away and dishes are done (thanks, Ken!!). Now, while I write, I’m watching/listening to Barbra Streisand’s concert film on Netflix. It’s… Continue reading Not How I Planned
Hello Beauties! It’s been a while since I’ve written on here and for that I apologize. A health update is coming in the next few days, I promise. In the meantime… Have you seen the People Magazine article on The Resort? If you haven’t heard about it yet, The Resort in the Bahamas was built exclusively for plus… Continue reading Plus Size Paradise at The Resort
Cancer. Thyroid cancer to be specific. Sorry, folks, there’s just no easy way to break that kind of news. I lost track of how many times I started this post and deleted it. Despite being one of the good ones to have (according to my endocrinologist) cancer is a scary word. But if I can… Continue reading C is for…
June 26th, 1991… I got married in a black dress that was handed down by a friend who lost weight. I wouldn’t have dared wear a white dress not just because I was no longer a virgin (we already had our 2 kids by then) but because black was slimming and flattering and I had… Continue reading All Dressed in Black
After all the fun I had during last year’s Full Figured Fashion Week, I was determined to enjoy even more this year. I didn’t attend all the events last week but the ones I did can be summed up with 3 letters… H-O-T!!! Sunday – HOT Music, Art and Rooftop The Curvy Music, Film &… Continue reading FFF Week 2017 – A Recap in Pictures
