Fatshion 101: A Day at the Hair Salon

It's that time again... Time for my FATSHION post!

I strongly believe that no matter your size a day at the hair salon, always manages to make you feel prettier.

And today, thanks to the randomness of life I finally got to cut my hair! After over 14 months of delaying a haircut... I finally treated myself to an evening of some self pampering at the hair salon!

And as I sat down at the chair, I couldn't help but beat myself up! Ugh! The hair studio I go to (that I haven't been to, in over 2yrs) has floor length mirrors, so you're literally staring at yourself sitting.

And you must be wondering... ...Aaaaaand, your point is.... Well, sitting down, I feel, it makes me look wider... Like my thunder thighs (which I do love) look more thunderous! And my double chin, that I normally don't have to look at and be in denial of, was staring at me straight in the face.

And I kept on forcing myself to look at the mirror and truly and genuinely like what I was looking at... You know, the ol' motto of practicing what you preach thing... And well, I failed-ish!

I still love my thunder and/or thunderous thighs but I couldn't fall in love with my double chin...
There are more than enough camera angles you can work when taking a picture, but when sitting in front a floor length mirror... Uuhhh, not so much-

I truly admire my fellow fat girls that take absolute and 100% pride in their beauty, who #GlorifyHappiness  but I have failed and I just can't... More power to people who feel beautiful and are comfortable in their own skin! I admire and aspire to be more like that!

Now, I wish I could just build a bridge and get over it but I can't so the next best option is to actually do something about it- And how do you get rid of a double chin- well it's simple, in my instance, my face is the last place to gain weight so I gotta drop 10-15lbs to at least have more than enough angles to work with for, specifically, the wedding and I guess, just for life in general.

Soooooo.... Now! No! Please know that I am not going on a crazy exercise regimen or diet, it'll be just the way the tortoise won the race... Slow and steady... Wish me luck! Because you gotta do for you what makes you feel pretty or er! 

And thanks to my haircut... I feel motivated to finally feel more like me!

FATSHION tip; get a haircut and feel prettier and sometimes discover a new motivation!

That is all,

'Til next time,

Toodles

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...

Fatshion 101: Learning to Live with Intent and Balance

Note: I started writing this blog in March while on our way Home to the Happiest Place on Earth ---days before resigning from my job of six years... I’ve always enjoyed my time sitting at a desk looking out a window… Which is probably why as I sit thousands of feet above the sky I am inspired to pull out my laptop (That I’ve packed to finish work emails – on my day off)  but  as I type those words- I’ve chosen to f*ck that sh*t – I am going to use my laptop to blog! I am a little  conflicted on where to start –  I’ve had these thoughts, these words, this blog on my mind for a long time… (Clears throat: it has been well over a year since my last blogpost) I haven’t written for fun in ages and I know myself well enough to know that I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from journaling/blogging (Friendly FYI – I maintain a handwritten journal in addition to my blog) But even before the summer 2019 I stopped all forms of journaling completely – I insta-s...
