Nordstrom is one of my favorite retailers because when they have sales, they HAVE SALES… ya know what I’m sayin’?! They have Cyber Week deals that go live Wednesday the 27th and it is the perfect time to snag that high quality item you’ve been eyeing for a discounted price.

I Have a Problem // #breakingupwithdietculture
I Have a Problem // #breakingupwithdietculture

{CW/TW: diet & disordered eating} I just did something I could have never imagined I’d have to force myself to do.

I just went to the grocery store and made myself buy food that is easy to make, and food that I know I will eat. Food that I’ve avoided for so many years now that I felt like I was committing a crime as I paid the cashier.

Getting Real About Being Anti-Diet
Getting Real About Being Anti-Diet

I know - I know - I know. I used to see the same anti-diet talk and cringe that someone would dare say negative things about something I loved so deeply and put SO MUCH energy in to.
I would think to myself: “this person is never going to be happy until they restrict their diet and eat clean.”
Boy was I wrong.

TRUE LIFE // THE DIET CULTURE DIARIES part two
TRUE LIFE // THE DIET CULTURE DIARIES part two

A few months ago, Weight Watchers announced their children’s diet app and it ignited a fire within this entire community. I asked you all for your diet culture stories, and this is part two. My hope is that by sharing these, we will continue to fight the weight stigma that has affected all of us medically, emotionally, physically and mentally. To read a little more about my story and the first round of anonymous stories, click here.

BEAUTY HACK // how microblading has changed my daily routine
BEAUTY HACK // how microblading has changed my daily routine

Eyebrows… They can be one of the most important features on your face. If you don’t believe me, just google “celebrities with no eyebrows” and get back to me. ;) They also take up a lot of time, which as a mom you don’t always have a surplus of… Which leads me to today’s topic - Microblading! You’re going to think I’m being dramatic, but I haven’t touched my eyebrows once with makeup in the last two months. That isn’t always the result, and sometimes I probably should fill in a few bits here and there… but Microblading has seriously changed my life. I can now leave the house without doing one thing to my face and feel okay about it.

Bloomingdales carries a lot of extended sizing and I bet you didn’t know that (because I didn’t either until this year)!! Today I am sharing this luxurious dress from Lafayette148. This is special to me because it is true luxury, made in my size (2x). As a plus size woman, I don’t often feel included especially in luxury clothing items.

SIZE INCLUSIVE SALE ROUNDUP // Anthropologie, J. Crew, Madewell, LOFT

It’s Columbus Day weekend, and a lot of retailers are having big sales. As a plus size woman - this can be so overwhelming! As we are transitioning into Fall weather, I like to be very intentional about the items I buy and why. This year we saw a lot of movement in the fashion industry towards more size inclusivity, and now would be a good time to try some higher quality clothing for really affordable prices. Like, we’re talking Target prices, people! A lot of these items also come in standard!

I’ve broken things down to hopefully make this super easy for you to shop.

World Mental Health Day 2019
World Mental Health Day 2019

It’s #worldmentalhealthday 🖤 I’ve always been stubborn, and I’ve always been a hustler. I thrive off of productivity and accomplishments - most of the time. But honestly? There are days when I can barely get out of bed. No one knows it, not even my family... mostly because I have kids and that’s quite frankly not an option.
So I push through. And I make it happen on the bad days. And it’s exhausting.
