With Instagram making the hashtag #curvy unsearchable last week, and Oprah Magazine’s recent advice that you should only wear a crop top if you have a flat stomach (spoiler alert: that’s a complete load of bullshit), I think we need a bit of a body positive shake up! So here are some of my favourite body positive Instagram accounts – check them out and let me know if there are any others you’d recommend. Let’s get this body positive party started! View Post
I wasn’t even looking for a coat. I nipped in to Autograph in Sylvia Park to have a quick look for a jumper while we were waiting to go and see Minions, and I spied it on the rack as I entered the store. I tried it on in slate blue and fell in lust with it’s warm cosy embrace. But slate blue isn’t practical with my wardrobe, and neither is hot pink, and the charcoal grey wasn’t there in my size. So I put the coat back and walked over to look at sweaters. But then I found myself back at the rack with the coats. View Post
When I started my cruelty free journey, one of the things I really struggled with was deodorant. I used Nivea roll on deodorant for a long time, and really liked the way it performed but hated the fact that Nivea is not cruelty free so I began my search for a suitable replacement. I’ve tried powders, sprays, pastes and roll ons; the good, the bad and the ugly. I’ve finally found two deodorants that I really like, so I thought a post about cruelty free deodorant might be helpful. View Post
As soon as my latest purchase from Yours Clothing arrived, I’ve been waiting for the weather to get warm enough (anywhere over freezing is fine!) for me to wear it. This maxi dress has been on my lust list for so long and I can’t wait for summer to arrive so I can wear it all the time (because let’s be honest, maxi dresses and temperatures below 10ºC really don’t go together). For a brief moment though, I thought I’d channel my inner witchy woman, inspired by Misty Day from American Horror Story and Stevie Nicks. View Post
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? I’ve always had a bit of a strange relationship with my body, and for years what I saw in the mirror was a stark contrast to what I am told I looked like in person. View Post
