Celebration of the creations

Hey lovelies! It's almost friday!and since I am a music fiend, I think ending the week on a good note means ending the week on a musical note. A lot of people that I've talked to recently have told me that they get into a body funk,and can't get out of it. I get in those too,I'm not completely without spots and a skewed judgement.However,no one likes how their body looks when it's not doing anything amazing or looks like what other people think is amazing. The truth is--your body is doing some pretty amazing things on its own! You're breathing, seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, etc. And now I have a playlist that will get your body dancing and then by the end of your playlist, you'll be feeling a bit better. I know I do when I listen to it.

Disclaimer/Warning, whatever: there are religious songs on here.Listen to them or not. Your choice.

Hey lovely people, I am starting to switch my closet from the season of summer to fall/winter. It's a random saturday when I rip everything out of my closet, take out a bunch of bags, and sort through everything. It takes a good seven hours. But anyways, I look through the things I bought and the things I lived my summer dreams in and say goodbye to them.Some for the winter,others are so worn out, I have to unfortunately say goodbye forever. Anyways, I always come by some clothes that I plan to wear with so many things and only ended up wearing it like twice the entire season. This year it's my black mini skirt.


It's such a practical piece of clothing.It's just black and plain. But on me people say it looks anything but plain. I have no idea why but slowly that started to affect how much I wore it,what I wore it with,and who saw me in it. Every time I opened my drawer I just saw it and immediately looked past it. I barely considered wearing it because of the looks I got or how my mother would question me to the moon. I believe that she'd try to get me to wear jeans under it if I'd have no objection. I try to pull it down,but I have to much going on body wise for that to even matter.

I understand there is a difference between wearing something made to suit your body,you look great in it, and others have a problem with it; versus what you wear being completely trashy and nasty. Don't get this confused as a sign that you should be wearing too tight jeans that cut off your circulation,give you muffin top, shows most of your ass, and makes everyone uncomfortable--including you. Way different story! That is not my translation.Don't even think about it! But moving on, recently I just decided to eff what they think,I have what I have and if I can wear it to church then I can wear it anywhere. I feel great in it.It makes me look amazing. Nothing is hanging out. Go for it and rock it. Your style may not be someone else's style just like their body isn't and will never be your body.That's fine.Work what you have,and don't wish for what you don't.Be happy with you.

Me and Tiff on her bday with the skirt on...and a lot going on ;)

Hey.This is my amazing sister Tiffany. We are actually the closest of friends, but we tell everyone we're sisters.That's just the way it is. Anywho, Tiff has been a constant pillar of strength in my life. She is such a strong person and she is an inspiration. She is unapologetic about who she chooses to be and the things she says and does.

Truthfully,sometimes that pisses me off, but I can always count on her for the truth even though I may not want to hear it. I write all of this to say, take the time to appreciate someone in your life that gives you love and strength. Tiffany is my fat heart hero.

She teaches and sometimes reminds me everyday to enjoy my life no matter what.And make the most of what you have. Always stay beautiful and vivid. Even in a black and white photo, may your life and vivaciousness always be seen and felt.

I love you Tiff.

Hey lovely people. I was going through my bookshelf this weekend and came across this book that I bought last year around this time.It was the famous plus size model Crystal Renn's book called Hungry. She talks about how she was discovered,and how she developed and struggled through her later teens with an eating disorder and how the pressure to get skinnier and skinnier in the fashion industry wore on her body and self worth.

 It detailed the low points and once she had gotten to rock bottom, she had no where to go but up---including her weight. As she started to eat more,her body,self esteem,career,and personal life improved drastically. She started to get booked for more shows and photo shoots.

 She not only tells her story,but inserts statistics and explanations to try to figure out where this "the skinnier,the better" life aspiration came from and why we esteem it so highly in our lives. I found it an inspiring,funny,informative, and easy to relate to in my own life. I hope you all get a chance to read this book. Self love first!That's the true success in a world that has taught you to hate yourself.Everything else comes after that.
