Where to buy plus size activewear

Where to buy plus size activewear: Livi Active at Lane Bryant

There seems to be a lot of assumption that plus size people aren’t or don’t want to be active. Obviously that’s not true – you can be active at any size doing a whole range of different things! One of the things I get asked about the most is where to buy plus size activewear, so I thought I’d put all this info in one handy spot. You might be hitting the gym, doing yoga, going to crossfit or walking your dog. Or maybe you’re running around after the kids, grabbing coffee with a friend or heck – even just sitting at home eating chips, cos a lot of us wear our workout gear when we’re just living our lives. No matter what you’re doing while you wear it, here’s where you can find activewear in plus sizes. UPDATED 21/02/22. View Post

Drink more water (so you don’t feel like a lizard)

Tips to drink more water and stay hydrated: Get a cool drinking vessel like this Pusheen cup

I like to think I’m doing a good job of staying hydrated, but the truth is I probably don’t drink as much water as I should. While I know I should be drinking a minimum of two litres a day, the reality is that some days I get to 9pm and I’m wondering why I feel absolutely parched – it’s because I’ve only had one glass of water the whole day. Time to give myself a very stern talking to. THIS IS WHY YOUR SKIN FEELS LIKE A LIZARD! DRINK UP, GIRL!

Nike has plus size mannequins and some people are mad about it

Nike has put some plus size mannequins in one of their stores, and it’s making some people mad. This basically happens any time there is a positive story about fat people doing anything anywhere. Even when that fat person is a mannequin. Yep, you guessed it, I have a lot of feelings about this. Grab a drink and pull up a chair. View Post

Advice to my younger self

New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears You Hit The Spot Dress from Taking Shape

Last week I turned 35. I know that we are apparently meant to be afraid of ageing (well, that’s what I assume given the amount of ads I see talking about anti-ageing creams and botox and the like), but I embrace it. I’m embracing the adventures I’ve had over the last 35 years, the wonderful memories I’ve made and the wisdom that comes with experience. I’ve got a lot of friends who didn’t make it to 35 so I’m determined to damn well treasure the fact that I am here.

When I was younger I thought I was hot shit. I thought I knew it all and no one could tell me otherwise. I was a bit of an arrogant dickhead to be honest, and looking back I cringe at some of the things I’ve said and done. And so I thought I’d share a bit of advice from my experience with life so far – to my younger self (not that I would have listened), to my teenage stepson, and maybe a bit to my current self? Sometimes I need a reminder, we all do. View Post

Review: Body Glide

Body Glide anti-chafing balm

Every year I get people asking me what I use to help with thigh chafing, or chub rub. I’ve written about this a few times before (here and here). Lots of people have suggested Body Glide, so last summer I picked some up and gave it a go. Now that I have thoroughly tested it over the last year, I want to let you know what I thought. View Post
