The Rain'll Come Out Tomorrow... Bet Your Bottom Dollar... Tomorrow is Only A Day Away...

So far I've been 29 years old ly a week and thus far, not so bueno!My daddy was in a scary car accident (he's doing well, mainly super shaken up - he drives rigs for a living), then a trip to DL was followed by a REALLY BAD allergic reaction to something, I'll never know... And then missing a day of work (which to most is like yay but when you're recovering and missing a shit load at work--- it never feels like yay) It's only Tuesday but I feel like I've lived a whole month already...

 Though we can't choose what chaos life will throw at us and what challenges we'll face... What we do have control over is how we react... 

And last night after some self-healing my unhealthy way... I woke up this morning relieved...

Because I woke up with an answer, rather than get angry, melancholy, anxious, crazy, bitter, psychotic,depressed (feelings that I am all to familiar with) - This morning, I chose kindness instead.

It set me back a couple bucks for the day but it was worth it! I paid lunch for the lady behind me at the lunch line... My appetite isn't back quite just yet - but I figured why not help out someone I saw counting her last cents.

I didn't originally plan on doing that when I went to buy my water but when the mood of kindness strikes you... ACT ON IT! I truly believe it's God's way of letting us know he's there.

So instead of getting angry at the world right now, I'm choosing KINDNESS (with a hint of laughter- I just need help finding something really funny...)

I figure the world has enough angry and mean people and I don't wanna be one of them anymore....

That is all,

'Til next time,

Toodles,

Lilly Perez

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...
