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

FML... I Totally Forgot it was Monnday Today...

I hope everyone had a restful Memorial Day weekend. Mine was jam packed with major accomplishments and lots of love! So much so, that I forgot today was Monday and that I needed to write my blog... And for consistency sake, I am writing to let y'all know to come back June 1st for a Wedding Update...   And that I am thinking about adding some kinda fat girl's guide to feeling and looking good, at least once a month... Every 1st,2nd or 3rd post... I want to try out this challenge I found on Instagram from the Aussie Perth Curvettes! Check 'em out I love theirr Instagram and their blogs! I'm not becoming a fashion/style blog by any stretch of the imagination... BUT I do enjoy looking good and feeling good about myself. And I haven't lately and that is a major part of my anxiety these days. I have been beating myself up and I want to make sure that at least once a month I highlight my many positive attributes! I am also in the middle of planning another trip...

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 ...

Fatshion 101: FAT Is NOT An Insult

This past week I learned that my marriage was attacked and minimized, my body was subjected to meanness but rather than sulk at home and blame all the injustices on someone else - my husband and I followed through with our plans for a Friday game night full of laughs (imagine my husband acting out this song  - because in this home we try our best to laugh off drama) and continued with our V-Day plans for a Saturday afternoon in Carmel with our kids.  So here is my outfit of choice for a day trip to Carmel! And the theme of this Fatshion 101 post: patience ! Sales require patience! If you follow me on Pinterest, you know that I LOVE casual wear, and casual does not mean frumpy! So be prepared to see this denim jacket, purchased at a Levi's outlet, on most of my Fatshion posts;-) It takes on many, many forms.  In this instance, I went with long sleeves and popped my collar for a little flare. This blouse from Madewell, I have been saving for this partic...
