WTF is self love?

What is self love? What is self care?

Self love. It’s one of those terms that gets bandied about and hashtagged on Instagram, but what is it?  Basically it’s about having a regard for your own happiness and well-being. I know that practising self love can be hard, especially when you’re just starting out and trying to make changes to how you think about yourself, or in the way you’ve been taught to regard yourself. It’s not about looking a certain way or conforming to a certain standard. It’s not about being full of yourself or self-absorbed, it’s about getting in touch with yourself, your body and what it needs, your own happiness and taking care of you. View Post

Adipositivity

Meagan Kerr for The Adipositivity Project by Substantia Jones

About 18 months ago I had the opportunity to take part in The Adipositivity Project – a photography project by the illustrious Substantia Jones that celebrates fat bodies in all their glory. Fat, glorious and without clothes on.

One of the reasons I write this blog is because I think it’s really important to have positive representation of bodies of all shapes and sizes out there in the world. Not just the so-called ideals represented in the media or in carefully curated Instagram feeds, but other bodies that are seldom seen. I’m short and fat with rolls, stretch marks and cellulite; I have large breasts that sag, very fat legs and an apron belly. I have scars, imperfect skin and most of the time my hair is frizzy. In the fashion world, bodies like mine are rarely shown, and so I decided to put myself out there and be one of the people providing that much needed representation of fat bodies. Put your money where your mouth is and all that, right? View Post

The Night Before Christmas

Brought to you by Peter Alexander

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways 2017 | This is Meagan Kerr x Peter Alexander Plus - Night Before Christmas Pyjamas

So much of the holidays is centred around tradition, and we all have our own things that we do year after year, special things that make us look forward to the holidays, that we share with our friends and our family. For me, one of those traditions has become spending time together on Christmas Eve. View Post

Bravery and Bodycon

New Zealand plus size blogger Meagan Kerr wears The Essential Tank Dress from Harlow Australia and Manon Baptiste Animal Print Bomber Jacket from Navabi

There are some things that, when I post pictures of myself wearing them, I’ll almost inevitably get someone saying “You’re so brave, I wish I could wear that”. One of those things is bodycon dresses (which just so happen to be one of my favourite things to wear), and I thought that since I’ve just added two of them to my wardrobe (you can see the other one here) I’d take a moment to do some mythbusting.

Active Intent Activewear

Meagan Kerr wears plus size activewear from the Active Intent range at The Warehouse

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll probably already know that I talk about plus size activewear reasonably often – it’s my most asked about topic, and affordable good quality activewear is really hard to find in plus sizes. Well, it was until now. I’ve been talking to the team at The Warehouse of the importance of making activewear available to a wider range of sizes for years, and I’m super excited to report that they’ve just extended their Active Intent range from a 2XL (size 20) up to a 6XL (size 30) and it is so nice!
