My 2017, A look back.

Image
At the end of 2016 I was a brand new person;  little did I know how fucking hard 2017 was going to be.  I lost my twelve year career. I can't feel the bottom half of my right leg. I tried to kill myself. I had to bury three of my dogs and all four of my cats. I got hit buy a deer. I turned 31. I started my journey to be the author I've always wanted to be. I tell the people I love how I really feel. I met a man who changed my life (and my hair) with one of the best hugs. I met a group of people whom I will always consider family. I have made more friends then I ever could have imagined. I downloaded a dating app. I got stood up three times. I found passion. I am a goddess who should be worshiped. I am worthy of love. I did things I never thought I would ever do. I want to live. 2017 was a god damn roller coaster. My aspirations for 2018 are to open my eyes, put my hands in the air and s

Fat Girl Musings: I hate kids but I want a baby

Image
Hormones are a fucking bitch. Hey I'm Kayla and if you didn't know I hate children. They are loud, smelly, always sticky and just get worse as they grow. The sounds of children laughing makes me cringe and the gods forbid they start screaming for no reason, no. Just no. I never wanted to have kids. That last statement is a lie.  I've always wanted to have a baby, to be a mom. I was 14 when my older sister got married and had a baby. I was so excited but I never told anyone because I was not a "baby person" I never wanted to babysit for my mom's friends. Well, only if they paid me enough. I would much rather walk your dog or give it a bath. I always had this idea that I wasn't aloud to have children. I was the fat girl that no one wanted to kiss let alone marry and have a baby. Then after my sister had her first baby 10 months later she had another one. A little boy who stole my heart, he was the sweetest, most easy going, ut

Fat Girl Musings: Pretty Fat

Image
Hey there beautiful creatures, Last night I was scrolling through Instagram showing some love to all of the plus size beauties I follow and as I looked over at the soft warm glow of lamp beside me I said to myself "do it, do it now" so I did. I follow some really amazing people on social media of all shapes and sizes and with every double click, like or thumbs up I give a silent yaaaassss bitch! I think go on with your big beautiful bad self, wear that backless dress, the crop top, them skinny jeans. Yes, yes, yes! All the while telling my own self that you will never look that good, your thighs are misshapen, your arms are too wobbley, you have that one weird roll on your side. So last night after watching Cora do a badass boohoo clothing haul and Kristi talk about self empowerment I got up and took the pictures I have been wanting to take for months. I didn't fret over the angle or if you could see that I haven't shaved my legs

Transformation Thursday?

Image
Hey beautiful creatures! Today's just going to be a regular old blog post. I've really been thinking about who I am lately and how fucking much I have changed not only physically but emotionally and mentally in the past three years. To quote Riverdale's Jughead Jones "I'm weird. I'm a weirdo." I have always been and I've always tried to keep it locked away until I felt the people in my life could handle it. That didn't turn out so well. I lost people who I really loved because I was trying to be the person they wanted me to be rather than who I really was. I've grown quite a bit in the past three years. I've come to realize that I can lead with my crazy. I can show people upon first handshake or eye contact that I am in fact strange and it is so god damn liberating. A little intimidating maybe but if they don't like me then they aren't for me and we can both move on. This all really came about when I met my tattoo guy a

Weekend Vlog #1

Image
Hey there beautiful creatures! Welcome to the Weekend Vlog I love to watch other peoples vlogs. My own? Not so much. After helping my Mom clean out her room a couple of weekends ago I realized that much of my life from the age of 12 to 25 is not all that documented. Mainly because during those years I really hated myself and didn't want to be seen or even heard; so I hid in the background or behind the camera. It's taken me this long to learn that my story is important too and while it may be boring as fuck I'll be able to look back and really see me and the life I lived. So come along for the awkward and boring thing that is my life. See you on the flip side, Kayla

Today's post is going to be a makeup tutorial, now I am so not a beauty guru and I have only with in the last few years really learned how to apply makeup properly lol I ride the struggle bus when it comes to make up as I have hooded eyes. I have to modify how I apply my eye shadow as you do. I had a couple of people request that I show them how I got this look so I made a little video. This is one of my go to looks for when I wanna feel extra glam and gorgeous. The browns and golds make the blue and green really pop in my eyes. I paired it with a neutral lip but a deep wine would also look nice. I hope it helps and that you enjoy. Ta for now, Kayla

Hey everyone! So I have a little haul video for you today. Featuring Olan Rogers Supply and Wet N' Wild two of my favorite brands. Have you tried any of the Wet N' Wild stuff I mentioned? Any I need to know about and go get like right now? Olan is amazing and his apparel is top notch. Ta for now, Kayla You can find Olan here https://www.youtube.com/user/OlanRogers Olan Rogers Supply http://olanrogerssupply.com/ Wet N' Wild  http://www.wetnwildbeauty.com/ Here are swatches of the lip colors, they are so bright in person, I had a time trying to get them to show up on camera. Just to note the Coming Up Roses (the red one) stains pink. The other did not stain. Also the Days of Fuchsia Past (the pink one) was a touch gritty. The Indigo Your Own Way  (the purple one) is my favorite and I most definitely be rocking it this spring/summer. I also tried out the color shadow sticks and they blended out beautifully and lasted all day on my eyes.

Fat Girl Musings: Fit Guys With Fat Girls?

Image
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about making these kinds of blog posts a weekly addition to my **YouTube channel. Anyway.... So I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and this popped up "This male model is getting real about fit men who are attracted to plus-size women" I was like hold up, let me click this. I quickly realized that this was about a YouTuber who speaks about his love for bigger sized girls and seams to advocate for body positive. Now I have watched one (okay a few) of his videos on the subject but I didn't subscribe because I know guys that look like him a.k.a socially acceptable hot as fuck dudes are into fat babes. Moving right along.... image found on pinterest Fast forward to a few hours later there was a clap back (that's what the cool kids call it right?) shared on Facebook by another page saying "Dear Hot Men Who Love My Body As it: IDGAF" so you know ya girl had to click on that link. It was by a woman, whom I do not

SoMo at the South Side Music Hall

Image
Hey everyone! So I am a huge fan of SoMo and back in the summer I bought tickets to see him on December 29th in Dallas at the South Side Music Hall inside of Gilly's. It was my mother and I who went and I had a lot of fun. I also realized my limitations, it was standing room only and I had to go find a chair in the back half way through because I couldn't stand anymore. In hind sight I would have splurged for the meet and greet and requested a chair from the get go but well you know. I learned that I am pretty good at driving through rush hour traffic and I would not enjoy living in a city like that. I met three women in line who were also dog groomers lol small world. Then the sweetest guy standing next to me during the concert. I wish I would have gotten his name. Anyway I still totally suck at vlogging. Ah, one day I'll get right lol Ta for now, Kayla
