Chub rub. It’s when your thighs rub together when you walk, causing friction.

Did you know that it wasn’t until 2013 that I first bought clothing online? As a plus size woman, I found it hard enough to find clothes that fit well in stores and I just didn’t want to risk ordering the wrong size and having to send it back.

Okay lovelies, let’s talk new year’s resolutions. For years mine were the same – lose weight, get out of debt, and quit smoking. Sound familiar? Well, I am pretty happy with my body and have realised that my weight does not define me, I don’t have any debt other than my student loan, and I quit smoking on the 1st of January 2011 (so that will be three years this new year’s day!), so it’s time to move on and make some new resolutions for my future.
Holy mackerel, Christmas is tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking the next few days off to spend time with my family, and will be leaving my laptop at home so I won’t be blogging until I get back. I hope you’ll be spending some time with the people you love too, and enjoying some R&R.
I will still be instagramming, so make sure you follow me here to catch all the fun times I’ll be having while I’m away. You can expect beach photos, presents, food, and plenty of selfies! View Post
