Fashion picks

I have folders filled with clothes and accessories and all the wonderful things in the world that I would like. So I thought I'd share and show you how I would put them together.

Front Cover Love...

Now I've spoke of my love of Adele before on this blog. I don't normally buy magazines perfering books. But I was in Tesco's the other day and this beautiful cover jumped out at me. That is size 16 Adele on the cover of one of the most read magazines in the UK! I could have jumped for joy, A plus size down to earth woman on the front cover. Then to top that Adele is wearing colour not just any colour flourals a staple of the summer wardrobe!!! This is the best cover I have seen in years!!! I love it. Thanks Adele and Glamour.

Life...

Lovely people I have been so crazy busy...

I have been working but this job is to end next Saturday which makes me sad because the people are so nice it's a joy to go everyday.

It's birthday season in our family there are 12 birthdays and fathers day from the 3rd of June till the 24th of August... I broke all the time and constantly worried I'm forgetting someone. Although it is my birthday on the 4th of July I'm super excited for my party on the 16th of July so lots of planning and calling of people.


I'm trying to lose weight because of my health and I am eating lots of lovely fruit and drink so much water so I have invested in a Bobble Bottle and I'm really excited for it's arrive if you drink water a lot please consider getting one of these.









My beliefs have changed a lot in the last 6 months and I have completely turned my back on a religion that I have follwed since before I can remember. But I am turning to science and what can be proved and everyday this gets easier. It is forcing me to do more with my short time here of what I wanted to do before but always put off. It also means I find myself trying the look after that planet more :) (see bobble bottles)

I want to get a new Tattoo I know what I want and where but funds are low due to birthday season.

Also I'm trying to spread some good Karma round the other day I was at the supermarket and the woman in front of me her card gor declined and then she was £2 short in cash to pay for her shopping so I lent it to her and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. This has happened to me and it makes me so embrassed. Also I have taken to making colleuges and family cakes. This idea was given to me by the wonderful Anna of Anna and the Ring

So how are you what have you been up to is there anything I can do for you?

Heathy...

Found on we heart it, beautiful curvy women in Vogue!

Months ago I loved a couple of tops and they were in the sale only problem was that they we're three sizes too small. I was a size 24 and they were a size 18. Now I want to explain something right here I've never been small ever even as a child I was bigger than most children. I also want to explain that my family was the family that did things together like sailing, skiing and rock climbing. Our holidays were always surfing trips or group holidays skiing and cycling I was more active that most. And as a child I would favor grapes over sweets. I was at 10 told that the extra weight was fine because they predicted based on my family and some tests that I was going to be over 7 feet tall... no joke you have no idea how many tests I went through. I had size 9 feet from the age of 11 and I got breast at the age of 8. They all assumed that one day I would shoot up and thin out. Wrong I stand today at 5 foot 6 inches... boy were they wrong I never shot up and the weight never spread out.

But I battle with my weight, I put it on so easy and I eat well. I'm not losing weight because I believe that beauty belongs to the thin, this is far from true. My Sisters and friends they had when I was growing are/were beautiful, confident, large ladies. I believe a person can be interesting and beautiful at any size. But I know my weight makes my Mum and boyfriend worry about my heart and my health that is why I'm losing weight. I don't drink and I don't smoke and losing weight is what is right for my body. So when I tried on those tops that I before Christmas and they fitted, not just I could get it on but I comfortably wore one to work. Well that was amazing because I getting healthier and more confident and that leads to a happier me.

Now I need to tone up and pull in the wobbly bits so if you have any tips for encouraging stories I'd love to hear them.

A new Addition to my charm bracelet in memory of my Granddad Duck.

Tomorrow is my day off, as the other day I slept for 12 hours straight I need the rest there will be more posts this week but they will probably all be on a personal and sad level.

Hope your all well and life is going well.
