Gratitude. And Trolls. Tuesday, done and dusted.
Last night when I wrote this morning’s post I was sad, annoyed, frustrated and a little bit angry with myself. Through writing it I was reminded of everything that I want for myself. What my goals are. Why I’m doing this. I know why. I know what I want for myself. I just needed a…

Stalled and Questioning.
So let’s talk about me. About weight loss. About getting healthy verses getting thinner. About progress or the lack of. I’m no longer getting smaller. I’m not getting bigger. But I’m not getting smaller either. I’m working out like a mad woman. In the gym I have found something I love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than…

Aussie Curves: Breaking the Rules {She Wore What}
Break the rules week, huh? Mine is not an overly controversial outfit by most people’s standards. A tee, a skirt and some high tops. No biggie, right? Except that this is one of the last remaining ‘rules’ I had for myself. I refused to wear this style of sneakers, especially with a skirt. It wasn’t…

Plus Size Halloween Costumes
I noticed that a lot of people were finding the blog looking for plus size costume ideas. People love the superman/girl one built with a bunch of items in your wardrobe and an iron on transfer. Easy peasy. Around here we do a reasonable amount of costume parties. We love them, it’s fun, what can…

How to Stay Sane in a Crazy Blog World

What would happen to us all. And bit by bit the week revealed itself and people’s real commitments did too. This is not a…

So the perfect compromise is this casual dress form Big W that I picked up for $25! Worth every cent and more. A quality…

Dear Brain, Shut Up.
I bet there are at least one of you out there who has said this to yourself. Probably more than one. Lots more than one. I was awake last night, I had ideas flying through my mind. Plans and notes and scribbled messages to myself are flung everywhere as part of a note taking system.…

Aussie Curves: Knits {She Wore What}
I have to say that I am a little smug today as I show off my knit photos for this week’s Aussie Curves post. Photos taken in our house, post a movie is a little bit damaging to hubby’s new extraordinary photographer ego. HA. The light’s not great, I’ve tried to correct the colours and…

Too Much of a Good Thing?
I have too many gym buddies. For now. Waaaaay too many. I never get to go with my brother. I see my sister-in-law once or twice a week, I wave to my neighbour fortnightly and then there are the old faithfuls my sister and cousin. What this means is because I want THEM all to…

Something is coming…
Something that people talk about a lot when you post photos of yourself and give you opinion on the internet is your level of self-confidence. For me, it’s always been something that came from the value I was told I had when I was a child. I got lucky. Hit the lottery of parenting that…
