Things You Shouldn’t Say To Fat Girls

As a plus size woman I have been subject to a lot of unsolicited "advice". Sometimes things said to me come from a "good place", but some are just general douchey comments. Either way being fat is not grounds for family/friends or trolls to hand out unwanted commentary. I'm gonna share with you guys some of the annoying things I've been told.

12 Things You Shouldn’t Assume About Me (Fat Girl Myths)

When some people first look at me they will automaticlly assume they know a lot about me. And the majority of what they think they know is WRONG!

I want to tackle some things people assume about fat people before getting to know us. Just because you think you know something, doesn’t make it true.

My Body Is Not Your Business! FAT and NOT Ashamed!

FAT! UNDESIREABLE! UNATTRACTIVE! MORBIDLY OBESE! ASHAMED! UNWANTED! UNLOVED! SUB HUMAN! JUDGED! UNWORTHY! IRRELEVANT! UGLY! OBESE! HIDEOUS! DON’T DESERVE TO BE ALIVE! WASTE OF SPACE!

These are sadly words I’ve used to describe myself or how I have been made to feel. Some of the words are facts, I am obese but that isn’t all that I am. But the derogatory terms are how people and the media have made me feel. And it’s not right. I am much more than my size.

I have never felt prouder of the plus sized community than I have in the last few months. And I wanted to properly introduce myself and share my story with everyone. I have been working on this post for several months, tweaking and adding bits to it but never felt it was the right time to post. But with everything that has been going on in the blogging world, on social media, youtube and the actual media regarding the plus sized community there has never been a better time to share this.

Body Positivity and Weight Loss

It has been going off on twitter the past couple days.

I feel like as a member of the plus size community I don't speak up enough on issues that we face, but I am trying to change that. And this topic really hit home for me, so I wanted to take to the blog and put my two cents in.

Today's topic is, "Can you be body positive and lose weight at the same time?"

I see all the time in the plus size community people saying that you can't be body positive and lose weight. I am now gonna weigh in on this heavily discussed and debated topic that has caused some good and not so good opinions. This post isn't me calling anybody out or judging anyone for how they think and feel. This is just my personal opinion on the subject.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! HELLO 2015!!!!

Hello blogosphere,

Well it's been a while since I sat down to do this. Is it too late to still say Happy New Year? Probably.

How has everyone been? Good? Great :-D

Can you believe it's 2015?!?!?! 2014 went by too fast for my liking, and now we're in February already. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wonderful New Years partying away, mine was bittersweet, but I'll get into that in a minute.

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I have touched my blog. A lot has happened in my life the past several months that have affected the frequency of my blogging and my ability to do it. 2 BIG things occurred and then some other little things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONYA LOVES MAKEUP!

WOW! My blog turned 4 yesterday. It doesn't feel like it's been that long.

My blog was something that I started randomly. My friend Stevie (one half of the velvet epidemic) was actually the reason I started blogging. I'd wanted to start a blog for a while, but just never did it. Stevie had started up a blog of her own and gave me the confidence to go for it. So this blog started as a place for me to share my passion for make up. It has since become somewhere for me to share a whole lot more. It's a very big part of my life that I love very much.

Constructive Criticism

Hey guys and dolls,

What makes a good blog? It's always something I've been curious of. Because there are blogs I follow and wonder why they don't have way more followers. I'd love to know what people's opinions are on what makes a good blog?

SHARE THE LOVE: Blogger style

Hey guys and dolls,

I did a YouTube version of this early last year. You can read that here. Now it's time for the bloggers. I randomly picked some of my faves. There are so many more but if I wrote about them all we'd be here all day.

In this awfully judgmental world, people are too quick to throw negativity at people. It's always nice to pay it forward and give credit where it's due. So let's get this show on the road.

FASHION: Event OOTD

Hey guys and dolls,

Here's a quick look at what I wore to the La Roche-Posay event. What I love about some events is there is no pressure to be all fancy. So I went kinda casual, which I do most of the time.
