I was picking out flowers for a cake I was making for my niece’s communion, and I thought the flower store made for a pretty backdrop for an #ootd post 🌸🌼🌺 (at Mississauga Greenhouse)

I look back at all the years I wasted worrying about what other people thought about me. I’d hide my “unacceptable” fat body because it was “not ok” to be fat. I’d exclusively wear plain, baggy clothes to avoid standing out. I wouldn’t bother with makeup, because I thought there was no point - a pig with lipstick is still a pig. I just wanted to disappear, because I thought no boy would ever possibly like me, and I would never look like those girls in the magazines, or even the popular girls at school. That was honestly one of toughest periods in my life. I thought it would never end - that my life would continue as a horrible existence of hiding my “ugly” self because I was not valid enough to be in this world. Today, I own my very own plus size clothing store, in hopes that I can help people feel better about themselves through beautiful, stylish clothing that actually fits. I don’t want anyone to ever feel the way I felt all those years ago. I know it’s a naive aspiration, because nobody could have ever convinced me that I actually was acceptable and worthy, but if I can relieve anyone’s pain, even just a little bit, through my store, and make people feel like they CAN be fashionable and feel beautiful, then it gives meaning to what I went though, and to this labour of love. Happy Sunday loves ❤️
Spring is coming! It was a long winter, with cyclone bombs, leaky roofs, and broken heaters, but the sun is finally shining, and roofs and heaters get fixed. I’ve never embraced winter like I did this year. I went snow tubing, experienced an outdoor spa in the winter, and enjoyed #winterlude, an outdoor winter festival in Ottawa. I’m going kinda miss winter cause of all the wonderful memories I made this year, but looking forward to sunny warm days ahead! Have a great Everybody!!! ❤️
Today’s a really great day. Today, I get to go through literally hundreds of applications from potential models who applied to model for my store for Friday’s photoshoot. There are so many GORGEOUS plus size babes out there, with so much confidence, charisma, and class, and I wanted them to know, that no matter what the outcome, they’re ALL winners, still GORGEOUS, and still FABULOUS!!! We’ve narrowed it down to a handful of models, and the selected model will be contacted today. Thank you so much to everyone who applied - I know first hand how intimidating it can be to put yourself out there like that! There will be lots of future opportunities 😘
I ❤️ makeup!!!

It’s going to be ok. They are words I’ve heard my entire life. They were always well-intentioned, and came from a place of love, but I always hated that phrase. Because things were not ok. I was not ok with the way I looked. I was not ok with the way I felt. I was not ok with the way people looked at me, and I was definitely not ok with the way people treated me. And I was 100% convinced that things would never change, so therefore, things were definitely *not* going to be ok. I got to a point in my life where was fed up, and couldn’t live like that anymore. It started with with my first investment into a fashionable piece of clothing. It was completely out of my price range, and at the time, there weren’t that many fashionable and affordable options in Canada, so I had to pay even more for the shipping and customs. I was so excited and nervous at the same time, waiting every day for my package to come... and when it finally did, my heart raced, I didn’t know whether to laugh, or to cry, but I put aside those feelings so I could try it on. And... oh my god... I laughed, *and* cried. I loved it. I loved it so much. It was so expensive, and I had spent so much money on it, but it felt SO good. I never forgot that feeling, and I never forgot my first fashionable piece of clothing. From there, I continued getting more fashionable pieces in my wardrobe. And as my wardrobe changed, my confidence grew. I was becoming ok with the way I looked, and I *felt* better about myself. It sounds shallow I know, but when you’ve felt shitty about the way you looked your entire life, and you find something that makes you feel better, who cares? I found that as my confidence rose, people looked at me differently, and treated me differently. Maybe it was all in my head this whole time? All I gotta say to those who have ever felt like me, is this... it’s going to be ok ❤️
About 7 years ago, I decided to dress more fashionably. I immediately became more confident, and I was either met with really positive or really negative vibes. I used to think that the root of those “negative vibes” were because I was doing something wrong - I shouldn’t be dressing nice unless I was a certain size. I realize now, without a doubt, that the root of those negative vibes had NOTHING to do with the way that I was dressed, and everything to do with people’s perceptions of what is, and what is not, considered “normal”. As more and more plus size women are confidently dressing fashionably, it is becoming the new normal, and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this movement! We’re making changes ladies, and the world is watching, and more importantly, the world is changing. Maybe one day, I hope, that chubby girl dressing fashionably won’t be met with any negativity, hostility, harassment, or violence. Happy Sunday everyone ❤️
