My Life Soundtrack – 5ive
I love music, I’m not sure exactly what it is specifically, I just know, that I’d have a hard time living without it. It helps me sleep, it helps drown out my head when I’m having a bad day, it can make me happy & want to dance, it also have the power to make me cry? I’m not a religious person, but I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I kind of believe in a music hierarchy. David Bowie is my God. Amanda Palmer is my Jesus. And now, I thought I’d open myself up and talk about The Angels. If you know me, you know who I’m about to say,…

Spotlight posts of the year!
Was high school really hell? I spend a lot of time musing over life, the past, the future. This was an interesting post to write, I find that I block out a lot of my unhappy memories, so looking back and trying to pin point certain thoughts and feelings was pretty tough. I’m happy I wrote this though, and that I had the balls to press ‘post’. You don’t need to be thin to be… Peoples judgement of fat people often gets me frustrated. This post was just me venting a little bit, but still very true. You can whoever you want at any size. 10 simple things that make…

I have a couple of saws on my chin, ever since I stopped biting my nails, when i’m anxious i’ll pluck at myself, at the moment, it seems to be my chin. I’m getting better with it. My skin tone is uneven and I have a scar on my nose from a dog bite.…

Anxiety.
Anxiety and I are old friends, but until recently, we only really met up when I’d have blood tests. Seem’s as of late she’s been weaseling her way back into my life and I seem to have forgotten (or blocked out) just how debilitating it can be. The flight or fight reflex kicks in, and in those moments, you honestly believe that this has to be the worst feeling in the world. My heart beats fast. I shake. I get a cold sweat. I feel so nauseous. I’ve been managing to push through most of them, but I suffered the largest one i’ve had in years a fortnight ago. Right now, it seems like…

Fat Talk! Plus size fashion promotes obesity? Whatever!
Hi! I’m Natalie and I am obese. I am fat. I am also female. Gemini. A Daughter, Sister, Auntie. I am human. I am pretty healthy. A lot healthier then a lot of people. I am human & I deserve fashion. I have the same right as any other woman, be it a size 4, 12, 32, to have clothes that are made well and are fashionable. Gorgeous plus size ladies at the Gisela Ramirez Encore performance. The Australian‘s fashion editor, Damian Woolnough wrote on Wedneday The models were gorgeous, the clothes were unremarkable and the message about health was dangerous. Professional models, including plus-size pin-up Robyn Lawley, strutted and…
