My Life.

It’s ok to be fat…

Let me first say that no I am not promoting obesity, or living an unhealthy lifestyle. I’m just sharing my thoughts on what can be a sensitive subject for some…

Recently I was at work and my coworker came to me telling me about one of the guests she was waiting on. We work in a restaurant, and see many visitors during our day, this one stood out in particular.. it was a mother and her two…

I can’t feel it, but I’m told that I should be it. I just can’t ever remember a time of being truly happy… And I’m not sure how I’m to be happy right now, because I’m in so much pain.

I want my mother I think any girl would in this situation but then I remember she was never really there in the first place and that just makes me sadder. I miss my dad, he’s always been there, through everything…

The nightmare that was my mother…

Let me start this out by saying I’m not looking for pity, or attention, and I don’t think my situation was any worse than what some others go through. I’m just writing this because I can’t sleep and I have too many thoughts running through my head, and it’s part of my story whether I like it or not. With that being said let’s begin… From an early age I learned what it was like to not feel wanted,…

Love, Loss and Lies…

They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. It’s hard to find that true when you find out your relationship was a total lie… For the last year of my life I was in a relationship with someone I thought I was very much in love with. We were making plans together, to move into the future, orr at least I thought that was what was happening. I don’t really blame…

Coming out of the darkness, and into the sun…

Over the last few months my life has been anything but ordinary, I up and left my hometown and moved 18 hours away where I don’t know anyone and have no friends. I have struggled with getting used to my surrounds, and trying to find a new job that makes me happy, while trying to get to know a lot of new people. I imagine all of this would cause even the most positive of individuals to fall into…

Food for thought.

I would like to start out by saying I have nothing against being a body positive plus sized woman, as long as you are being healthy and truly positive. Through time though I started realizing that I was promoting my unhealthy lifestyle, that what people thought was me being positive was just a cover up for a severe lack of self-esteem, and really unhealthy eating habits. Throughout the years I…

I haven’t been very active on here in the last few months, and I have nothing to blame but myself. I was feeling uninspired which I believe had a lot to do with the events taking place in my personal life, but I’m back and hope to become more active in my writings. With that being said I’ll let you in on a handful of events that have taken place. In the last few months I went through a period…

A smoothie a day….

If you are anything like me, you are not a morning person. I’ve never been one of those girls that got up and did a full face of makeup and hair before heading out the door for school or work. So when it came to breakfast I either got something fast, or didn’t eat at all, neither of which is a very healthy option. I decided I wanted to make a change when it came to what I eat in a day, not a…

Making changes for happiness.

My life has been very different lately, I changed jobs  and we got some crazy news that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. Life is now less stressful in some ways, but more in others so I haven’t necessarily been inspired to write. However I wanted to give anyone reading an update, and let everyone know that I’m back and hopefully can stick to a more normal posting schedule. It all started…

Self doubt and pursuing higher education.

At my age the idea of going back to school is daunting, besides getting a certification, I haven’t done anything educational in 10 years. I never went back to school after graduating high school, I wasn’t particularly motivated to do much of anything besides make money. I didn’t bother with taking the ACT, because I didn’t think I’d want to pursue a higher education. Over the years, however, my…

Over the last few years I have developed a passion, love and obsession with perfume. What you must realize is what works for one person, may not work for another, that’s why when my girl friends ask me what kind of perfume they should get I always tell them go try them on. Perfume is made of many different notes: top, middle, and base. They use different fragrance oils and alcohol, so when trying…

I know that I am not alone when I say that sometimes I get in a funk. I’ll be uninspired, laze about the house and not do much of anything, which isn’t exactly the healthiest or most productive way to spend the day. Unfortunately this happens more often than not, which can put a real damper on my mood. Thankfully I’ve found a handful of ways to help bring myself out of the funk and onto something…

If you read my last blog, you will already know all about the declutter of my beauty area where I threw out all of the really old products, and gave away anything that didn’t work for me. Which left me with the products I absolutely love, and a handful that I’m still trying out. Most of these products I have been using for quite awhile, a handful are products that I’ve just recently tried out,…
