Kicking my own butt into gear

December 30, 2009

Dear me,
The time has come, sweet cheeks. Seriously, the time is really really overripe. It’s time to start tightening the belt without suffocating, time to stop looking like a more fashionable version of Jabba The Hut.

Days of summer: the gold, the black and the ugly

July 20, 2009

In Sardinia, where I’m from, there are two summer staples: white and gold. I don’t do either.

We all want to look good. And sometimes it requires more effort than others. Some things make it harder to achieve glamour.
Being a busy mom with a super-active-oh-my-gawd-I-wish-she’d-stay-still-3-seconds toddler comes to mind (not sure why. Heh.)
Being a plus size gal is another.
Lack of sleep is also a good one.
