Life can be hard. These posts will make it easier. From home design, travel tips, book lists, etc.
Throughout my life, my weight has always fluctuated. In the summer of 2012, I lost 50 pounds through diet and exercise. In the winter of 2012, I gained 55 pounds because I realized that I like eating and don’t like working out. People who have known me for a long time remember that summer of …
When I first started this blog I told myself that I would stay away from weight loss and fitness topics.

If you are a plus-size girl, you have probably heard comments about your thighs, waist, and hips from judgemental people. Covering one’s specific body parts with tattoos can be a coping mechanism. At least that’s what my mom told me. In my mind, getting a thigh tattoo was a way to flip the bird to …

And, most importantly… How do you tell them? Our normal mojo on this blog is to provide advice and recommendations to …
Struggling to find someone who is dating material? Well, just try online dating! Everyone online is nice and accepting after all… Finding people to date where I grew up was a lot like that song by the Dixie Chicks. If you looked all around the town, all you’d find was Earl. Since I wasn’t into …
When you first hear the term fat camp, you can barely imagine something more horrifying, especially as you are an adult.
