Soaking up the sun
My favorite part of summer is relaxing on the beach or in the park, reading a book, eating finger sandwiches, and stretching out on a comfy blanket to take a nap in the sun (under an umbrella, gotta protect your skin from those UVs). But tragedy struck me this week when I was headed to the beach and realized I had no blanket! I hurried to the closest store and picked up what they advertised as a large blanket. I sauntered off to the beach, ready to enjoy a long day of relaxation, only to discover the beach blanket was only big in length! I was stuck at the beach with slightly longer towel than average. I know, how horrible. So, the first thing I did when I got back to work was make a fabulous picnic blanket!

What kind of name is William Makepeace Thackeray?
That’s it! You’re all done. Now, go enjoy your chic picnic with some avocado toast, a sushi burrito and a mimosa, or a virgin mimosa.
Gotta stay in the shade cause of my wimpy, pale skin.

Great idea! Thank you Mood and big hug and thanks to you for blogging. I am not a bean pole waif so I think it is marvelous you are here to represent us that are more endowed than others. No body shaming to anybody, God made us all unique!
I’m glad to know there are other plus size people out there enjoying my blogs! The road to self love and body acceptance is long and arduous, I hope that other people who have felt like they don’t have a place in fashion can find confidence, inspiration, and hope in my posts.
