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 a topic I’ve written on several times before when Old Navy, Kelly Osbourne and Melissa McCarthy launched collections that did not fit all bodies. I’m… Continue reading #AllMeansALL!!!
Hi Beauties! On Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending the launch event for WynneLayers.

November is one of my favorite months. The days turn brisk and cold and it’s the start of the holidays. In a few days, I’ll celebrate my 54th birthday and still say that it’s never too late to overcome one’s fear of trying new things… Like getting my hair cut short… … and wearing 2-piece swimsuits I’m… Continue reading Another Year Older…
