Five ways to relax

Meagan tries to relax with a cup of coffee and a mindful jigsaw puzzle

Relaxing isn’t really one of my strong points. When my therapist asked me what my hobbies were, I was kind of silent because honestly, I don’t really have any. Once the things I did as a hobby (photography and writing about fashion) became a part time job, they stopped being the relaxing “hobby” they used to be. Since then, I’ve been trying to find ways to relax, things to do in my down time, that aren’t “work”. Things that allow me to switch off. Here’s a few things I have tried (some with more success than others!) in case you need to unwind too. View Post

Where to buy plus size activewear

Where to buy plus size activewear: Livi Active at Lane Bryant

There seems to be a lot of assumption that plus size people aren’t or don’t want to be active. Obviously that’s not true – you can be active at any size doing a whole range of different things! One of the things I get asked about the most is where to buy plus size activewear, so I thought I’d put all this info in one handy spot. You might be hitting the gym, doing yoga, going to crossfit or walking your dog. Or maybe you’re running around after the kids, grabbing coffee with a friend or heck – even just sitting at home eating chips, cos a lot of us wear our workout gear when we’re just living our lives. No matter what you’re doing while you wear it, here’s where you can find activewear in plus sizes. UPDATED 21/02/22. View Post

Drink more water (so you don’t feel like a lizard)

Tips to drink more water and stay hydrated: Get a cool drinking vessel like this Pusheen cup

I like to think I’m doing a good job of staying hydrated, but the truth is I probably don’t drink as much water as I should. While I know I should be drinking a minimum of two litres a day, the reality is that some days I get to 9pm and I’m wondering why I feel absolutely parched – it’s because I’ve only had one glass of water the whole day. Time to give myself a very stern talking to. THIS IS WHY YOUR SKIN FEELS LIKE A LIZARD! DRINK UP, GIRL!

Nike has plus size mannequins and some people are mad about it

Nike has put some plus size mannequins in one of their stores, and it’s making some people mad. This basically happens any time there is a positive story about fat people doing anything anywhere. Even when that fat person is a mannequin. Yep, you guessed it, I have a lot of feelings about this. Grab a drink and pull up a chair. View Post

Review: Body Glide

Body Glide anti-chafing balm

Every year I get people asking me what I use to help with thigh chafing, or chub rub. I’ve written about this a few times before (here and here). Lots of people have suggested Body Glide, so last summer I picked some up and gave it a go. Now that I have thoroughly tested it over the last year, I want to let you know what I thought. View Post
