💙 G I V E A W A Y + NEW RELEASE!!! 💙 Today, I've teamed up with @piquebeyond to celebrate today's release of THE (OTHER) F WORD, an anthology that celebrates the fat, fierce, fearless, and fabulous. . . I loved the essays and pieces in this book, and it reminded me of all the ways we are FABULOUS creatures, regardless of what we look like. It reminded me to embrace everything that makes me, ME. And this is my reminder to you, to love the body you're in NOW and to not be afraid to dress it up and show it off. You don’t have to wait to be a certain size to dress in the clothes you want, to step in front of the camera, to live your life to the fullest. . . It’s a message you’ll hear echoed in The (Other) F Word. If you’ve got it, FLAUNT IT, BABY. And girl, trust me. You’ve got it! . . Naturally, for such a fantastic, body-positive book, I HAD to give it the #StyledByBooks treatment. Swipe through for more photos & head to the blog for details on the outfit AND my plus-size fashion shopping favorites; link in bio! And now for that giveaway I promised ... . .

Let's talk about self love. What are you doing to take care of yourself physically & mentally? 🧘 I've been doing a lot of yin yoga this year; not only has it helped reduce a lot of my regular aches and pains, but it's been a huge source of stress relief for me. Sort of like hitting a mental reset button. I've also been indulging in reading books that make me happy and help me escape my reality, and cutting back on (personal) social media. I know that last one seems little bit odd, given that I'm here on the 'gram quite often. But I hardly ever log into Facebook these days, and am scarce on my personal IG too, just for my own mental well- being right now. . . THE (OTHER) F WORD anthology from @piquebeyond is a celebration of being fat, fierce, and fearless, with the idea of reclaiming words that can be used to define and hurt, and making them into something empowering. Swipe through to see a few excerpts and look for it in stores September 24th! . . #theotherfword #fatfiercefearless #piquebeyond #piqueambassador #bookgram #selflove #effyourbeautystandards #rainbowshelves #bookshelfie #bookinhand #booktography #mybookstagram #mybookishlife #mybookshelves #ShelfieSaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IQ8TSAx0d/?igshid=1va047rfa5s5g

How do you show self-love? 🍑 I have been a curvy, plus-sized girl all of my adult life (and most of my teenage life), and there are definitely some days that are harder than others. But most of the time, I try to rock the bod I've got. Because my body does amazing things! So one way I always show my body love is putting it in beautiful clothes that make me feel good. "Dress for the body you've got" and all that. (And I am always here for plus-size shopping recs!) . . Anyway, all of this is to say that I am super pumped to be a #piqueambassador for THE (OTHER) F WORD anthology edited by @fatgirlreading & coming out September 24th from @piquebeyond. Many thanks to Pique for sending me this advance copy to start getting hyyyyyped. Look for more posts from me about this one over the next month. . . And remember to LOVE YOURSELF! . . #fatfiercefearless #theotherfword #yabooks #yabookblogger #plussizegirls #effyourbeautystandards #piquebeyond #yabookstagram #mybookstagram #plussizeblogger #selflove #bookgram #mybookishlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B1c36ECgmau/?igshid=rbrdga1rilqd
