Today marks the winter solstice and I’m all rugged up and ready for cold weather. I’ve found myself wearing a lot of grey lately (along with my usual black), so this scarf feels perfect for breaking things up a bit. View Post
Birds of a feather
As I mentioned on Instagram recently, I used to turn my nose up at feather knits because I thought fluffy jumpers were prissy. I’m actually not sure what my logic was there because I will happily wear a tutu for no reason whatsoever? View Post
Fat Studies Conference + Giveaway
As a plus size woman in a culture that promotes only one kind of body and only one kind of lifestyle as acceptable, I am very aware of how fat bodies are viewed in our culture. On a daily basis I encounter anti-fat attitudes, experience or witness bullying of people based solely on their size and am well aware of the different ways in which fat people face discrimination in various settings (from education to employment to healthcare). You only have to look at the comments section on a positive article about a fat person within the mainstream media to see these anti-fat attitudes in practice. View Post
Winter layers
As much as I’ve complained about the cold lately, even I have to admit that winter has been pretty mild so far. To be having 17ºC most days in winter is really unusual, it’s more autumnal than wintery, so I’ve been piling on the winter layers but still trying to look cute. View Post
An attitude of gratitude
At the end of every day, before I go to sleep, I like to lie there and think about the things that I am grateful for. This act of practising gratitude is one that has helped me to change my outlook on life – it’s made me more positive, it’s helped me cope better when times are tough (and trust me, some times have been really tough lately!) and changed the way that I deal with everything from my business to my relationships.
