lush

so recently i have been MIA because of my lovely holiday in Paris which was amazing but apart from that not a lot has happened over my summer holidays 

so recently a new shop has opened and it was a lush cosmetic it deals in herbal and natural cosmetics .I brought there a pot of their mask of magnanimity for spots and breakouts. so this product is so cool, it smells so nice of peppermint and made my face feel really smooth and cleansed and they may cost a little more than usual products but its worth it in the end

the random story Authors JAYCIE WETTNER & LEAH BURRETT

It was tragic being forced into sex
It was odd how it happened
But i felt i was doing him a favour
Which led to my untimely death
The memory is traumatising
I had become one with nature
I rang his bell to sound the alarm
Appearing from the deep
There was nothing left of me
I used all of my weapons
I knew what i wanted for breakfast
I then indicated which way i was going
I ended up stranded in a strange place
He smelt of fish so bad but i cant tell him
IGNORE ME IM LYING!

4 tips for plus size swimwear shopping

 so it that time of the year when us plus size ladies have to find the perfect swimwear so here are my tips to help you find the one

1. SHOP FOR SEPARATES

No one, and I do mean no one, is built the same on top as they are on the bottom, and that’s why shopping for separates is a great idea.

2. KNOW YOUR PALETTE

Like buying any other piece of clothing, it’s important to know which colors look good on you when shopping for a swimsuit. It’s a great idea to be bold with color and print selection

3. ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

if you’ve got it, flaunt it! If you have a curvy  bootie, wear a cheekie suit to show it off. If you’re a busty babe,choose a plus-size swimsuit that shows a little cleavage. 

4. TAKE YOUR TIME

i have never found a swimsuit in a day and find it easy to look around for one and maybe get a few because you can never have to many 

so i hope the tips help you find the perfect swimwear for your summer 

so any more tips that you like to share ??

1.Don't be put off by your friends shapes

 You are the shape you are for a reason. Just because your friend is tiny doesn't mean that you have to be. Don't think that just because you are big it doesn't mean you can't hang around with your thinner friends. They aren't going to judge you by your size, so relax, and have fun.

we all know that smiling is good for the soul so lets smile, let people see that you are confidant and let that smile out people who are happy are normal really confidant so you be don't fall in to the shadows being quiet.

4. listen to you not anybody else

Face it. Nobody knows you better than you know yourself, no matter how many people try to tell you differently. So if your body, mind or gut is telling you something, then take notice of it, and don't worry about what other people say at the end of the day its you opinion that counts.

so be proud of who you are There are many curvy ladies who are incredibly beautiful, and just with some added confidence in yourself, you can be a part of those curvy girls in the world

and If you ever face any bullying problems because of your weight, know that there are people who think you are beautiful i am one. There are countless online communities to support curvier women and their confidence. If it becomes a serious problem, consult friends or family. Alternatively, if you are a young woman, and in high school, college, etc. you can consult a teacher or mentor.but remember you are beautiful
