This post contains affiliate links. Plus size Halloween costumes typical come in two camps: 1. Oh, so boring and matronly. Covered from head to tie in baggy, itchy, cheap fabric (that costs you a bundle). OR 2. Not really plus size and you can’t fit into it. Well! There are options! Looking for a sexy […]
Secret to wearing dresses without chafing
I love wearing dresses. I wear them all year. Occasionally I’ll mix it up and wear a skirt. I think dresses are super comfortable. They’re also easy. No thought about making a matching outfit required. Just slip one over your head, pull your arms through and DONE! Plus, they’re just pretty! And sometimes even twirly! […]
Thank you Tess Holliday and People Magazine
Tess Holliday made the cover of People magazine. I don’t usually buy People. Everything I want to read is available online. Plus, I can’t keep up with my monthly magazines. Taking on a weekly would have me buried alive. Oh, and I have made a conscious effort to stop bringing magazines into the house featuring itty […]

Sharing my weight and plus size lingerie photos with the Internet
I did a boudoir photo shoot in February. I weighed just shy of 300 pounds and had just turned 37 years old. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I felt brave and sexy before the shoot even happened – just committing to doing it was enough to boost my confidence […]
#Selfiebration : Selfies from a plus size, freckly mom with a bad camera
I saw someone post a rant on Facebook about selfies the other day. She said she’s sick of people showing off their cleavage and exposing their double chins.
