My babies part two.

I've already discussed my pets and their personalities a bit here. Lately I have been feeling that barely scraped the surface and I want to dig deeper.
I'm just going to discuss my boys today.


I love my boys so much. They are a handful at the best of times but I wouldn't have it any other way.
They are boys boys and as a result constantly give their mama stress. One minute Buck is biting Ryker in the face the next Ryker is dragging Buck around by his collar. Ten minutes later they are on their doggie bed chewing on toys and ignoring eachother.

Fashion Friday: Olive Cardigan

Happy Friday!
I apologize because this post is going to be a little shorter than usual due to busy schedules.
The inspiration is from a Pinterest Pin I have yet to locate an original post for.

Fashion Friday: where I find the items inspired by a look specifically for the plus size lady.

My rock playlist.

It's nearly Friday and I am ready. My husband's best friend/best man at our wedding is getting married this Saturday. We are so excited for them! Yesterday was a long day, I had a lot going on. I've got some personal stuff going on.
I went to bed early and now I am here with no content and I am drawing an utter blank on what to post.
We're going to share my playlist.

My dad is a classic rock man. I grew up listening to AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Queen, Bon Jovi, Black Sabbath, etc. I didn't grow to appreciate classic rock until I grew up. I have several playlists I listen to, however this is the one I listen to the most.

Success is going from failure to failure witu no loss of enthusiasm

Guys I am going to get real with you. I fail. I fail a lot. I fail hard. I am not perfect by any means. I make mistakes and I learn and grow from it.
I feel like failure seems to be a reoccurring topic at work and in my personal life.

You look like a million bucks!

Hello. Happy Tuesday! One day better than Monday.
I have to confess the last two weeks were really brutal for me. We were short staffed at work with Vacations.  I relocated everyone's workstations putting myself from a sit down location to standing. I've been so sore and exhausted. I've been tired and struggling for content for my blog.
I had to rehash some old content but I did it. Ihave been really proud of myself for sticking through it.

My motivation was the reason I started my blog. I started because I remember seeing skinny to average sized girls wearing cute clothes and never being able to find what I wanted or liked in my size. It's just so hard to be able to express yourself when you're limited to what is available in your size.
I've seen so many plus size sections include very "old lady clothes." Not that I am opposed to that but when I was 16 there was just no way that would work for me.

I want to be able to help others find an outfit they love. To help them feel as fabulous outside as they are inside. Everyone deserves to feel like a million bucks once in a while.

#SecondhandFirst

Happy Sunday Funday!
Yesterday was a great day. My husband has been busy with classes to get his motorcycle license so I have had some free time to visit with my mom. (My mom and I totally took a nap while I visited and it was glorious.)
Yesterday evening Kyle and I went to our friends and played a game called Disturbed Friends which was super fun.

Have you guys heard of ThredUp?
They are basically a super cool second hand online shop. They take and resell items. They have so much variety. I have only ever gotten shoes from there but I love the shoes and they are presently at work as a spare when I need a break from my regular shoes.

They recently called out Burberry for incinerating $37.8 million dollars of inventory. ThredUp suggested that they donate the unused inventory and ThredUp would donate 100% of the proceeds to a charity of Burberry's choice. That's pretty fricken amazing if you ask me.


I have gathered a few great items of the many many options from ThredUp from XL to 3XL. They do carry up to 5XL. They have accessories, shoes, and more. Stop in and have a look. I've provided the link after the jump.
