Office tour and what I’m reading now
Office tour, here we go! I took an Instagram poll {which is a remarkably awkward thing to do} and it came back that 88% of those who voted wanted to see it. I’m not going to spend my days wondering WHY some people voted no. Really. I’m not. *sobs* But the yes vote has it…

Showering with geckos. Not recommended.
I’m not sure what the geckos are like where you live, but around here, they’re out of control. There was a little decline in activity around the time we did our last pest spray {cringe} but they’ve made an epic comeback. Where there was guilt before at their chemical-based deaths, I now think they probably…

Learning to aim for progress over perfection.
If you follow me on Instagram, you will know I started working with Elissa, a coach, around my relationship with food, eating, and exercise. I did it to combat a lifetime of disordered eating and ideas associated with my body. I feel like I’ve let get a little shaky in the last year or two…

Look what you made me do.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this was about Taylor Swift. It’s not. I just stole her line. Sorry, Taylor, I’m sure you’ll cope. This is about giving up control of your life to someone else. Handing it over and letting them run you, run it, in whatever way they see fit. Saying, look what you…

I really am blessed to share this life with such a generous, kind, warm man. To celebrate this momentous occasion, let’s take a look at the things I’ve learned about relationships. Even though…

What’s in the mail!? {video}
Ever wondered what sort of things plus size bloggers get in the mail? Wonder no more, I have opened my mail on camera for the first time (should it be the last? Tell me, I’m trying here). Everything is linked below, but there are clothes, beauty products and plenty of things to read! What can…

I’m not brave and you don’t have to be either
As a fashion blogger with a not so average body type, it’s common that I’m told that I’m brave. Pull on some swimwear and well, brave it the word of the day. I get what you’re saying. Really, I do, and I’m usually okay with that kind of comment. But here’s the thing, not really.…
