Curvy Girl Rant

2nd July 2016
Last week I went shopping for a dress to wear for my date with Dita. And after two entire days spent "shopping", I was left empty-handed, disappointed and feeling rather glum about myself. 

A few shops had gorgeous dresses, but nothing left on the racks above a size 10. One shop specific to my size (14 and above) had gorgeous dresses, but nothing below $90 (that's nearly a whole day at work for one freaking dress!). And another shop claimed to have my size but not even the size 16 would encapsulate my curvy body (What the actual fuck?!!). And don't get me started on the amount of shops I walked into and walked out of just as quickly feeling like a disaster at attractiveness once spying the tiny shop attendants wearing the tiny clothes they're selling. The only places that actually fit my size and budget were Kmart and Target, and as much as I love love love these two stores, they didn't exactly have anything Dita-worthy.

So why is it so damn hard to find something that makes a size 14 girl look and feel good for a special night out, without her having to sell her firstborn's left kidney for? Why do the big chain stores catering to woman's fashion only cater to a specific size of woman? Why do us curvier girls not get to bask in the the joys of stylish affordable clothing like our skinny minnie sisters?

I'm fucked off and disappointed beyond belief. As if life doesn't already throw you enough lemons when you're not a size 10. Things need to change. And I'm not talking about our bodies either ladies.

And to add to my torment, as if buying a nice dress wasn't a nightmare enough, do you think I could find a sexy bra in an E cup that wasn't equivalent to the down payment on a house? Thank the good lord for City Chic having a sale on ($20 bras with buy one get one free) or else Thelma and Louise would still be tickling the top of my belly button.

Moral of the story; if you're not skinny, you'd better be rich girlfriend.

Tantrum over. I'm off to put my fat girl panties back on. The ones from Kmart. That cost me $3 and look like they were designed by my Grandma. Boys dig that right?

Until next time,

Acne Fucks Me Up The Ass

Image
I've got a fucked up face so I'm using Snapchat to hide my downfalls  😂 Well. Not really. But I do have a terrible case of acne, particularly on my chin and jawline, that has been plaguing me pretty much since I got back from NZ. I've been on antibiotics for months, all of which haven't helped and have only kicked my butt because I'm really intolerant to them. And because it's been going on for mo nths without getting better, my normal run of the mill acne then went on to become cystic acne, which is not only ugly asf, but very painful too. Huge deep cysts under the skin that you can feel constantly and are very hard to get relief from because of how deep they are. In other words, the motherload. After a myriad of blood tests and doctor visits, I've been told I'm healthy and my hormones are normal so no one really knows what is causing my face to freak out so much. As a beauty therapist I have some idea about how to deal with acne, but everythin...

Tumeric My Saving Grace

Image
Tumeric has amazing antiinflammatory and healing powers. It has been used to treat skin conditions for centuries. I watched a TV show a few years back where the host  Rachel Hunter  would travel to different countries to discover their attitudes and treatments for beauty. When Rachel got to India she was treated to a tumeric mask and told about the benefits of using tumeric both topically and when i ngested. So I thought I'd give this tumeric mask a go. And I have to say, even after just one mask, I can already feel and see a difference. Below is the mask I created, I used things I had around the house that I know would be good for helping my cystic acne. There are no measurements, I just mixed them together and made a paste before applying to clean dry skin. Tumeric Face Mask. Organic honey. Manuka would be best. Apple cider vinegar. Tumeric powder. Lemon juice. I applied the mask and let it sit for about ten minutes. Then washed it off. I was expecting super yellow s...

Humiliatingly Hilariously Honest

Image
A snapshot of traumatic/hilarious moments in my life that have ended unexpectedly positively. Thus proving that rock bottom humiliation has surprising benefits, you just have to know how to laugh at yourself first.  I once farted long and loud while sitting in front of the guy I really liked, and a bunch of other kids, and the wind of my ass made the wet togs I was wearing ripple across my left b utt cheek. I thought my chances with hot dude were ruined. Turns out he thought I was funny and the next day we ended up hitting primary school third base; hand holding. I have refused to eat seafood ever since I was a little kid. My parents told me fish fingers were made from chicken. I believed their treachery until I became the brunt of public laughter at dinner one night on a school camp. I proclaimed loudly that I didn't eat fish and then went on to eat fish fingers. I think I was like twelve. Definitely old enough to know better. Bright side is the knowledge that one day I...
