Hello my Lovelies,💓
Happy Easter! Hope you are all having a fabulous day and enjoying the sunshine.
I realise that I have been super slack lately and I apologise for this, life has been super busy. But I am back so look out… Ha!
Something that has really been grinding me down lately is how people see and talk about cellulite. Cellulite is natural and normal and the society that we live in needs to learn to be more accepting of it.
I always used to take lots of pictures of myself and then look at them and be angry/ upset of how I looked and then not post them because of things like my cellulite- it was always on my mind by why should it be?

I have now realised that I am so much more than cellulite, I am so much more than my back fat or my belly rolls. It is 100% natural and normal for everyone to have cellulite. It needs to stop being seen as ugly and stop being spoken about as if it is disgusting. I get that everyone wants smooth perfect skin but we all need to accept the reality that it is just not real.
I think I have had cellulite since I was about 10, which again is normal. I understand you are not going to change your mind set over night and all of a sudden love it, but please at least give it a try. I’m still learning to love it and not hate it, it’s a very slow road to self-love but it is the best thing you can do for your confidence and for your mental health.

Women, men, everyone need to accept reality when it comes to their bodies to be able to achieve self-love for themselves.  There seems to be so much pressure on young girls & boys today to look a certain way rather than embrace how they actually look, everything is photo shopped which really annoys me, the modern day beauty standards is ridiculous!

I personally refuse to use any kind of photo shop, any re-touching or any filters on my pictures and I am actually proud of myself for being able to share pics like this with you, my followers! I’m not ashamed at all for the way I look.
So ladies and gents please remember it is okay to have cellulite and it is okay to love yourself regardless of your size, height, race etc.
Do you struggle with loving your cellulite? Do you struggle with self-love? Get in touch and tell me, I would love to know.

Thanks for reading

    As a big guy myself, I always embrace who I am. I love how you make it a positive and it should be, everyone should embrace the body they have no matter what it looks like.

The curse of internet trolls!

[Trigger warning: contains hateful and Fat-Phobia comments] Hello Guys, So as I lay here in bed feeling completely sorry for myself full up with cold, I thought I would spend some time writing a post about something that is clearly aggravating me a little today - internet trolls! But without them, lets face it, the internet just wouldn't be the internet. The general advice is to ignore them, and to continue doing what you're doing. Content creators are told to get a thick skin & to not let the negativity hit home. That particular logic even has its own unofficial slogan: "haters gonna hate" - one of my favourite's. But lets face it, you're never going to be able to please everyone, so don't let peoples hate/opposition get in your way - just be you. So firstly, let me tell you why I started my blog. I started my blog as I was starting a self-love journey...a journey that I wanted to share with the world. I'm plus size, I love fashi...

Hey Guys As you may already know from the “about me” section I'm Laura, I'm 29 and I live in Wales. I am a plus size girl who loves fashion, beauty, travelling, reading, music, cooking, socializing and many other things.

Everybody has a swimsuit body!

  Hello you lovely lot, One of my favourite quotes of all time is: Every Body has a Swimsuit body. A few weeks ago I was talking to someone I know and they asked me how I felt so comfortable with my swimsuit body. I answered with the quote, which caused a weird reaction. “Then why work on your body, if every body has a swim suit body”. The thing is I choose to eat healthy at times, because it helps me. I’d workout because I want too. I don’t do these things because I want to be “summer ready”. We are all summer ready. Always. And that IS A FACT!! That conversation has me thinking as to why do we always think like that about ourselves? Why are we so afraid of wearing a Swimsuit or a bikini, afraid of exposing our bodies to the world? Because lets ne honest were the same person with or without clothing and we’re beautiful no matter what. The biggest and hardest part is believing it though. I have learnt that self-confidence is something you need to always be working on. You...
