Plus, size swimwear has come a looooong way. A long way. And there are lots of options out there for cute posing and poolside glam. I love that! That wasn’t something we had a lot of options with. BUT, what if you’re trying to swim in the ocean or pool, in a creek, dam or…

Afraid to wear a bikini? Not me, no thanks
This could be a VERY short post. A super short one, but well, you know me. Short version? I refuse to be AFRAID to wear a bikini; being afraid is for spiders or clowns or being murdered in your sleep, not someone seeing your stomach. It’s clothing, folks; it’s nothing to be afraid of. And…

My spring races style for 2016

What happened when I Embraced
As a plus size blogger, I consider myself to be body positive. I have to be. For my entire life, people have told me my body is wrong and that it should be different. Someone had to love my body; it might as well be me. So when I attended the local showing of Embrace,…
