    Lola Blu Boutique in Broad Ripple

    If you haven’t made it to the new boutique in town, you should definitely check out Lola Blu! Pam has had the shop for over a month now and was nice enough to invite us Indy Blog Society gals to the shop to browse and have some champagne and treats! Pam is just the sweetest lady in the world, and the shop is set up so nicely! There was a nice selection of different styles in the store, but unfortunately they don’t carry plus sizes.

I’m that level of cat mom, but the truth is, they become a part of the family. We spend time with them, learn their personalities, and love them just like (or more than) we love our own siblings! With life and happenings, I am taking any bit of time that I can to get in extra…

    Plus Size Bikini on the Beach

    My newest theory is that a plus size bikini on the beach is FAR more acceptable than a plus sized bikini on the internet. You may ask why, and I can simply tell you that people are far nicer when they are right in front of you than when they are hiding behind a computer screen. I recently posted the photo above on Instagram. You guys were awesome. My followers, my friends, and my family all showed so much love and support of me wearing a bikini and loving my big body. None of you cared that I showed off my big belly. None of you cared that the suit…
