When Your Plus Size Sweatshirt Shrinks!

My plus size sweatshirt shrank on me! Yikes, luckily it was okay in this circumstance. I bought a sweatshirt, and I go between two sizes, so I bought the bigger size, just in case. It was huge, and swimming on me. (that in itself is a rarity!) I pop it into the wash, and it [...]

I went to Disney World last week on a spontaneous vacation with my son. We had a blast, and one of the things I wanted to mention is how they are accommodating to even plus size patrons. I love that there’s extra room in the seats, and that I’m able to ride all the rides [...]

Plus Size Underwear or Dental Floss?

I wear plus size underwear. Conjures up sexy images doesn’t it? On the other hand, my sister wears what appears to be dental floss for underwear.

Handbag Whore, A Plus Size Accessory

What is a plus size accessory you ask? I have a huge collection of handbags and sunglasses that I consider part of my plus size accessories.
