Dressing up

A lot of families are dealing with weight issues, because modern technology has replaced some of the more laborious tasks of generations passed. Laundry and dish-washing used to be time-consuming tasks but now we just use the machines, and we can all agree that life is easier this way. Unfortunately, the foods we eat have also been replaced by franken-food, stuff that's made entirely in factories and all the enzymes and nutrients that nature would have us consuming aren't in our diets anymore. So there are many reasons people nowadays are just plain fatter than they used to be. It's a fact of life, but it can be avoided.

Thank goodness for plus size fashion stores, specialty clothing shops that only sell plus size clothing. It's an industry that's been growing in popularity because people want to look good no matter what their size is and most clothing stores don't order a lot of the larger sizes because they're a little harder to sell. People who wear plus sizes prefer a specialty store because the clothes fit better and look better.Anyway, if you're wearing pus sizes, please share about your shoopping habits in the comment section. Maybe you've had luck with Sears or another surprising place, maybe there's a website you're in love with for shopping, if not you should check out the links above because Jessica London is like the queen of plus size clothes. Seriously, check them out.

Cute in any size

I know a lot of people in the area have trouble shopping and even though we're not in the market for plus size clothing, I do notice a lot of plus sized residents in town and do we even have a store that specifically sells  plus size women's clothing?  I have no idea.  I can see how frustrating it would be to go shopping for plus size clothes and have to sift through an entire store just to see what they happened to order in your size.  My size is pretty standard and average, I take for granted that some people have a harder time finding things. Plus, clothes that aren't specifically made for a heavier frame might end up not being sturdy enough or flattering on a larger body. 

Take formal dresses for example. Sometimes the styles and cuts are made to emphasize the features of a smaller body, so even if you manage to find one in the right size it won't be flattering. That's why I like to see shops that specialize in plus size formal dresses because then the consumer knows they're getting something that's designed with their body in mind, so they won't have to sorry about feeling unattractive or frumpy or anything. Anyway, you should check out the store I'm linking to, they also have swimwear and bras (that would be a nightmare)  and plenty of other items made just for supersized gals who don't want to skimp on style. Enjoy :)

Big Bro Hooks Me Up

Guest written by our friend Gladys Fuentes

Man it’s nice being able to use my brother’s cabin in the winter. It’s only about 2 hours outside the city and having a place to go to get out of the hustle and bustle is absolutely essential for me and this makes it a lot less expensive all in all. He bought the place about ten years back and he’s told me before what a money pit it ended up being. He had to put a lot of money in to get it fixed up right and he even went to shopelectricityRatesTEXAS.com last year to get those electricity bills down because they were killing him. My favorite time to use it is in the winter when it gets kind of chilly out and I can start a fire and my wife and I can watch movies and drink wine. It’s so great and cozy and when it’s like that outside it’s all I can do to even open the door for more firewood! I love my brother and I really appreciate his generosity with this house of his.
