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?

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 have a confession to make… I don’t particularly like my arms. Actually, the forearms are kinda cute but my upper arms are big, lumpy and bumpy… like Popeye in reverse. Also, the left one has an indentation which I’m convinced is from all the times a rubber tube has been tightly wrapped around it… Continue reading My Lumpy, Bumpy Arms
Unpopular opinion ahead: Unlike some body positive / fat acceptance advocates, I’m not angry over designer and Project Runway winner Ashley Nell Tipton’s recent public announcement that she underwent gastric bypass surgery. I had actually known this for several weeks but said nothing to no one because it was not my news to share. HER body, HER… Continue reading ANT & WLS: I Ain’t Mad At Ya, Ashley
May is almost at an end. Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer is a little over a week away and the temperatures have FINALLY gotten warmer!! YAY!! During the summer I’m usually in sleeveless dresses and tops. The warmth of the sun on my shoulders is such a great feeling. After YEARS of hiding… Continue reading Springing into Summer with Avenue
Having professed a penchant for pretty paisley prints, I’m thrilled to see what Avenue is offering for their Spring/Summer collection. I just love the vibrant colors and patterns… perfect for the warm weather Apparently there are lots of other fans of paisley because this ruffle-hemmed sleeveless top is completely sold out Fortunately there are other choices….… Continue reading Pretty in Paisley with Avenue
Do you know blogger Sarah Sapora of Sarah Plus Life? If not, you might want to become acquainted with her. She’s absolutely gorgeous, has such an upbeat attitude and great style. I’m personally not crazy about how she sometimes conflates weight loss with improving her health… which she’s been pursing in the last year…. but… Continue reading Trolling’s Unwise, No Matter Your Size
