When did you first realize you were plus-size? I think I was about 6 years old.
When I was a young girl, I used to love to wear bikini tops. I think it was a product of me watching Bring It On so many times—and maybe wanting to be sexy far too early—but they were the closest I had to a cheerleading uniform. I used to wear them and have no shame about how my body looked in the mirror—I don’t even think I looked in the mirror! Mind you, for most of my life, I’ve been a chubby girl, but back then I wore anything and everything without a care in the world. I don’t...
SURPRISE!!!! It’s early! I know I said it wouldn’t be ready until at least the first week of May, but I made some changes to this capsule that helped trim down the time it takes to create it
If I’m being honest, I was starting to dread making these capsules because they would take me so damn long to do! I definitely plan to keep doing these because I know you guys LOVE them, so I decided I’m going to just make them *smaller*.

Instead, conversation ebbs and flows. A cicada’s buzz crescendoes, then abruptly disappears. Mosquitos nip at the ankles and elbows and beads of condensation drip down the side of your beer. It is hot and humid and the air swells thick around you — but you don’t much...
My Latest Snags: Nicola Bathie Cameo Earrings
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I am in love with the jewelry Nicola Bathie makes. I have several pairs and just added these stunning blue cameo earrings to my collection. Happy Easter to me! They are insane! I could not decide on which pair I wanted for about a week — I literally would stare at multiple different tabs in my browser debating. I whittled it down to these blue ones and these green ones, but in the end, I wear a lot more white and blue than I do green, so blue it was. Love...
