    Looks Like PCOS to Me: A Visual Guide to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

    02/27/2015 /

    I’m like a poster child for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have pretty much every outward and inward symptom you could think of for PCOS. I also know that in the beginning, when I knew something was wrong, I didn’t know to piece all the little things together to make one big problem. How was I supposed to know that my missed periods and my thinning hair were somehow connected?! In the picture above, you can find many things that all add up to what PCOS looks like for me. (Think of it as a handy PCOS symptom chart!) If you have any of these issues, please do yourself a favor…

    Curvy Girl Workout Gear: My Favorite Shirt of ALL TIME

    02/26/2015 /

    When it comes to athletic gear and curvy girls, it’s all about comfort. Okay, that’s not true. It’s like, 4 parts comfort and 1 part fashion. In any instance, we all have our “favorites.” When I find a favorite, I wear it OUT. Again, the biggest factor is comfort, but if it’s cute- even BETTER. In this case, I wanted to share with you my favorite shirt. It happens to be a running shirt, but I like wearing it for “running” errands. Or “running” to the mall. Or “running” to the Taco Bell………..but really, it’s great for working out as well. It’s super comfortable, but it’s also stylish and flattering!…

    3 Ingredient Sweet Pork Tacos (Crockpot)

    02/24/2015 /

    When you’re ballin’ on a budget (like yours truly,) you tend to buy the pork tenderloin. There are many reasons to purchase a pork tenderloin, but my main reason is that they always seem to be cheap, and then Target marks them down to even CHEAPER just a few days before the sell by date. You can get around 1.5 lbs for ~$6.00. No complaints here! Anyway, I have a delicious, super easy recipe for you today. I adapted it from a recipe that a coworker brought in to a pitch in to make it a bit more healthy. (His wife found it on Pinterest!) But my recipe is still…

    Big Girls on TV: Reality Shows

    02/21/2015 /

    There are two “big” shows on television right now that focus on plus size women. I’m not talking about those medical shows (shout out to My 600 lb Life that I can binge watch for whole weekends!) These are shows that merely give you life of a bigger girl. I’m fascinated, but also kind of offended that I haven’t been asked to be on one. I mean, look at this picture above. I was made for this! The two shows I’m talking about are My Big Fat Fabulous Life on TLC and Big Women: Big Love on Lifetime. Although they have two VERY different casts, they all base around plus…
