It’s getting warmer out, here in Georgia. I don’t want to brag- but I’m totally swimsuit ready! Yep. That’s right. I’ve been working SUPER hard. In the gym? On dieting? No. And no… None of those. I’ve been working on my MIND. On my inner voice.⠀ Who believes that EVERY body is a beach body? Not like- ok I’ll go but I’m wearing a swim dress and long sleeve caftan and a disguise and hoping no one sees me- but…
I'm really excited to introduce you to a fun series I'm doing with my friend, Elly Brown of Uptown With Elly Brown. While Elly is a legit, full-time fashion blogger, I also have a closeted affinity for styling my outfits. Admittedly, as I gained weight over the last few years, I lost some of my passion for fashion. I have had trouble figuring out how to dress my plus-sized self, and sometimes it's downright daunting. That's why I was so…
I turned 32 this year. That seems weird. However, it doesn’t seem weird in the way you think it might. I don’t have a problem being in my thirties. In fact, I looked forward to it for years! So many people have told me that this decade will be one of self acceptance, stability, and introspection. So far? They were right. My twenties were a whirlwind. Life changed for me every five minutes it seemed like. I always landed on…
Ladies! I’m getting a lost of requests for the best swimsuits for curvy women. This post is for you. I’ve been posting a lot of swimwear lately (and there is still more to come). I will update this post all throughout swimsuit season, so don’t worry if you don’t see something you like, yet. I’m “plus size”, on the tall side, and busty. I also have kind of a long torso. Finding a good suit is always a challenge! I…
I have said before that the best part about blogging is undoubtedly the relationships I have made. I was nervous when I moved to Wine Country that I would have a hard time connecting with a blogger community here. When you work from home in such a specific industry, it’s so important to have a tribe of women who understand the ins and outs of the “biz” and can be a valuable support and sounding board. Professional bloggers are usually,…
It’s always hard for me to decide how far to go with maternity clothes, especially in the summer. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on a (relatively) small chunk of time, but if the piece is something I will wear all the time- then I will do it. I wanted to share twelve things that I have lived in during this summer pregnancy and give a quick review of why I love them. Many of them are…
I just got home from my 32 week OB appointment. They were talking birth plans and fetal presentation and GBS testing… and I’m like is this real life? We are almost there? My LAST pregnancy is almost over. I can’t say I’m sad about it, but it is rather bittersweet. I’ve never done a formal maternity photo shoot before. Besides a few mirror selfies and unflattering candid photos while pregnant with Grayson or Charlie, the memories of the bump are…
This post was sponsored by JC Penney, however all opinions are mine. #SoWorthIt It’s been years since I have made a formal list of New Years Resolutions. Sure, I like a clean start and I love making goals, but something about the word “resolution” just seems so, well, resolute. The key to incorporate change is to set achievable goals. For instance, if I make a goal for the New Year to go to the gym for an hour a day,…
