This week I am heading off on another adventure, this time down to gorgeous Lake Taupo. I’m looking forward to lots of swimming in it’s cool depths, and thought it was only appropriate that I get mermaid nails before I go.
I decided that it was time to treat myself to a new pair of walking shoes. The last pair of exercise shoes I bought were great (and I paid less than $10 for them), but they didn’t give me the support I needed so they have been relegated to my gardening shoes. I asked around and had Nike shoes recommended to me by a few friends, so yesterday I popped into Nike Platinum St Lukes.
Almost every other time I’ve walked into a sportswear store I’ve either been ignored or treated very rudely. I’m not take seriously because I’m fat (actual comment overheard, “Who is she kidding? Must be lost”) or because I’m female (just the other day I walked into an outdoors store to buy a new backpack. The two salespeople avoided eye contact and ignored me, instead going straight to assist my partner … who was not there to buy anything. Needless to say they didn’t get my money!). I’m sure you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I was a little bit nervous when I headed into the Nike store! View Post
Genie from Bunny Eats Design asked if I want to indulge in a bit of wanderlust and answer a few travel questions. I’ve been getting itchy feet lately and am really looking forward to travelling again, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about travel. It’s been about eight years since I last travelled overseas, and I feel like I’m missing out. I did quite a lot of travelling when I was young, but not as an adult, so I have lots of great memories but very few photographs. Perhaps this is a sign that it’s time to travel again? View Post
I believe in dressing fearlessly. Wearing what you want because it makes you feel great, and not avoiding certain things because society tells us that we shouldn’t wear them. Crop tops, printed pants, bikinis, double denim, stripes, bodycon, shorts… I wear all of these things. And when I began my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project in 2013, I had no idea how many women were like me – dressing fearlessly regardless of their size, shape and age. So many of you want to share your style with the world, and I think that is awesome! It’s something worth celebrating. View Post
As the spring blossoms fall and are thrown about in the wind, the sunshine comes out to welcome in summer and a brand new year. This calls for light summer dresses, jandals and many trips to the beach. View Post
