Fat Girl Musings: Pretty Fat

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 in a month or that my sweater was fifty cents from the thrift store. Out of all of the pictures I took I only deleted one and that was only because you could kinda see I was naked from the waist down.





I have been tying to do all of the things that scare me or that I thought I shouldn't or couldn't do and every time I surprise myself at how good it makes me feel. So do the things that scare you or you think you can't or shouldn't do and to paraphrase Kelly Clarkson "take a chance, make a change and breakaway."

I Used To Groom Dogs

Image
Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g...

November Favorites 2014

Image
It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d...
