One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday d One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday dinner and emceeing Hammers & Heels, so today officially kicked off my beauty marathon.

Started with a facial at The Ritual Co., and yes, I’m here for the glow… but honestly, the real win was an uninterrupted hour to sit still, be taken care of, and fully relax.
Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey and it often doesn’t have a clear and definitive end. I’ve worked for the better part of a decade on my relationship with my body. I’ve done a lot of work. I’ve honored her, encouraged her, I’ve chosen to see her as good. It’s been an intentional journey to really break down and know my body is good, just as it it. 

But just when I think I have evolved past being critical of myself I go to try on swimsuits and boom I’m back. This past weekend I went to try on swimsuits. It was a last minute decision and I just popped in a store. I talked to an associate and realized she was picking things and putting them into a fitting room for me. I could feel my pulse starting to race. Initially I was frustrated with myself for feeling insecure about trying on suits but then I remembered that this is a journey. I politely told the sales associate that I just didn’t think I was ready to try on. In the kindest way she said, it’s fine, I’ll mark some things down and when you feel ready just come back. 

I’m telling you this story because sometimes it’s easy to look at people who share their lives online and think they some how have mastered living themselves in a way that you can never achieve. The truth is that for many people it’s something we still struggle with from time to time.

Just remind yourself that like most things in life there is no medal for being the most secure person in the room. Give yourself grace and just repeat after me, my body is good just as it is.

Second, if YOU think YOU look good then go with it. You don’t need someone else seal of approval.

Mardi Gras Balls – Buying Formals Online

I started this year with a new vision for my posts. I want to make shopping convenient and easy for women of any size so all of my posts will now be size inclusive. This means that in all of my posts I will provide options for women size XS and up. I am really making an effort not to exclude any body size. We can all dress stylishly no matter our size and my job is to ease the search for you just a little.

My hope this year is to help all of you find pieces that make you feel amazing both online and locally. Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting stores in the area who will be carrying formalwear for Mardi Gras balls especially the ones who carry both regular and plus sizes. All of these tryons and information will be available to you on my Instagram page here.

Mardi Gras is quickly approaching and the balls start weeks before the parades. I am actually slightly behind because many krewes had their balls last weekend. There is still a lot of Mardi Gras fun to be had so we are in crunch time on finding the right dress. I want to make this easy and simple for you because shopping online may be the best option for you.

Know before you buy…

If you are going to buy something like a formal online you need to make sure you are reading all of the reviews and the size charts. Formal gowns usually run small so make sure you are measuring yourself and comparing that to the size chart.

If you are looking for more of my guidelines to how to buy gowns online check out this post here.

{This post contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase from one of the links I provide I make a small commission off of the sale at no additional cost to you.}

So what is catching my eye this year…

I tried to round up styles that would work for small bust, larger busts, small waist, pear shape and our tall girls too. All of these are under $100!
