This week has been a bit disconcerting for me. A dramatic change in hairstyle does that I guess: It's weird walking into a room with people that you see almost everyday and have them gush about how you look. Even weirder having strangers ask me a variety of questions about my hair, some skipping the… Continue reading Purposeful Resolutions: Part 3

Why I’m Not Here For “Real Women”
Here's the thing, as a plus size girl, I'm totally here for this whole size movement (?). Is that what we're calling it? Maybe not. But, what I'm saying is that I'm here for people pushing for unedited magazine photos; For demands to include plus size models; For the beautiful bloggers showing that, yes, plus… Continue reading Why I’m Not Here For “Real Women”
How I Keep my Body Soft and Supple
Is it just me or does that title seem highly sexual?...Oh well, I'm here for it! You know what I'm also here for? Not having dry skin! Which, let me tell you, is no joke. Not only is it unsightly, it's also embarrassing. But, worst of all, it can sometimes be painful. Actually, my hands… Continue reading How I Keep my Body Soft and Supple
Why I Decided to Stop “Dating”
About a month ago I said to hell with it. That is, I decided to 1. delete all of my dating apps (Tinder, OK Cupid, Happn, and Bumble) and 2. not look for potential love in my everyday life. You see, dating had gotten extremely frustrating and disheartening. Actually, dating has always been that way,… Continue reading Why I Decided to Stop “Dating”
Ikea Love vs. Small Kitchen Woes
One of the smallest rooms in our apartment is our kitchen (I wish I had decent pics to show you). That's because it's a kitchen, living room, and dining room all in one. Basically our kitchen is just a section of our common space, where the common space is the size of a normal-sized kitchen… Continue reading Ikea Love vs. Small Kitchen Woes
Purposeful Resolutions: Part 2
In my last post I talked about my resolutions and why, despite my dislike for them, I made three this year. My first and biggest resolution was to live without fear. With that in mind, I plan to live by the motto "Fuck fear! Go for it!" for the rest of 2016 and beyond. It's a… Continue reading Purposeful Resolutions: Part 2
Purposeful Resolutions: Part I
The day after new years, my friends and I discussed our resolutions for 2016. As usual, I couldn't (and wouldn't) think of anything concrete to add to the mix (I'm pretty sure I added some throw away comment). This is nothing new of course, I've always been strong in my distaste for resolutions. Why look to the… Continue reading Purposeful Resolutions: Part I

So whether it's living small with limited funds or because you're a college student living on campus, you'll surely benefit from the below tips. One thing I didn't mention… Continue reading (Small) Living: Surviving a Roommate
Cauliflower Stir Fry
Disclaimer: I am not a cook. Matter of fact, I suck at cooking. This is me trying my hands at something and offering it to you to do as you please. However, I won't post a recipe unless it tastes good, promise! Pretty sure this is my first time eating cauliflower. Can't wait to try cauliflower… Continue reading Cauliflower Stir Fry
