Living my best life at last night's Golden Confidence Plus Size Pool Party. Thank you @essiegolden! 👙

So... I wrote a thing. And that thing just got published in Refinery29. Last year, I set a goal for myself to write more, and maybe even try to get something published. And hot damn, I made it happen. I am SO thankful to the people who helped me develop and edit this piece, you know who you are. It's the first time I've ever written or pitched something like this under my own byline, and I'm equally excited and weirded out by it. If you like it and feel so inclined to share it, please do.

There's a great article on HuffPo women today about a young woman who took on recent body negative comments on Twitter about women over 200lbs in bikinis. As one of those women often seen in such beach attire, I thank her with this fatkini collage 👙💪🏻 http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/girls-wear-whatever-the-hell-you-want_us_56e9a1c8e4b065e2e3d83275?

Monster-size @Crumbs chocolate/peanut butter bday cupcake from my awesome @ReproRights coworkers. Think I might eat and drink my way through 31.

After being inspired by @alisonturkos to find photographic evidence of #therachel haircut circa 1997, I dug out all my other high school photos. Clearly 1999 wasn't my cutest year. #highschool #throwbacksaturday

Today has been a reminder of how awesome it is to travel and discover fun things in a new city alone. Resolution: Do more of this. #sanfran #thingsidoalone (at Pier 1)
