My Bedroom Makeover

Meagan Kerr's room tour and bedroom makeover on a budget

As you know, I had surgery earlier in the year and during my recovery I’ve spent an awfully large amount of time in bed. It’s made me realise how much I need my bedroom to be my sanctuary and after many hours spent in bed staring at my surroundings (and watching home renovation shows on HGTV), I felt like our room wasn’t really cutting it. The bed was uncomfortable; our furniture and soft furnishings were badly mismatched, having been collected over the last 18 years since I moved out of home; and it just wasn’t the cosy, relaxing haven that I wanted it to be. And so, I started planning some changes. View Post

Sleepyhead kindly supplied my bed and some of their bedding essentials to help make my bedroom super cosy. This post isn't sponsored, I just really love my new room and wanted to share it, as always all opinions are my own.

Roadtrips and Modelling

I want to start out by saying that while I have modelled in the past, I definitely don’t consider myself a model. I know some people get into blogging with the aim of being a model, but to be honest that’s never been my goal, I really am just here to share really awesome clothes! However, the opportunity came up for me to model for an up and coming New Zealand brand Firefly by Rachel Harrison, and because I had spoken to Rachel a lot over her design process and really love her range, I said sure – why the heck not.

No Filter

No Filter by Grace Victory

I first discovered Grace Victory when she was part of a Nike campaign – I was so excited to see an amazing fat woman of colour repping for a fitness brand, and even more excited to find out that she was a fellow blogger/vlogger.

I think it’s really important to surround myself with positive influences, so I started following Grace on social media; I checked out her YouTube channel; and I watched the documentaries she made with BBC Three. You know when you make an awesome new friend and you want to spend all your time with them? That was how I felt View Post

Unwanted Attention

Online harassment - that's a no from me

I started my blog as a way of sharing my style, helping plus size babes find rad clothes in their size and sharing my self love journey in the hopes that it might help others. For the most part, it’s been amazing – I’ve shared my life with you, you’ve shared yours with me … but there is one part of the online world that I really hadn’t counted on. It’s one that, to be quite honest, makes me never want to blog again. View Post

Fat is not a four-letter word

Hands up if you’ve ever been called fat.

Whether you’ve heard it as a schoolyard taunt, an unkind remark from a stranger or a “well-meaning” comment from a relative, chances are that if you’ve ever been called fat it hasn’t been in a positive way. So understandably, it’s a word that you might have a few negative connotations with.

“Please don’t refer to yourself as fat it’s not helping one bit … I understand you feel comfortable, but that word should never be used on anyone – it’s not a positive…”

This comment came from someone following me on Instagram, and it’s similar to things I hear on a semi regular basis, which prompted me to write this post. View Post
