Truth

      In our lives there are always moments of great joy and great sorrow. People will hurt you and help you. So is the roller coaster of our lives. And sometimes these things will ripple out to impact others both positively and negatively. And what you put out you get back. So when your helpful and nice ..good nice things will happen to you and if your hurtful and deceiving bad things will come your way. I try to remember this in my daily life.Even though I have been hurt and lied to and made to feel like less then I am, I still try not to take all that hurt and hand it back to the world. I hold that pain and instead throw out good vibes. helping and healing inside others where inside me is only hurt.
      Questions come up like where do we go  from here and can this ever be right again? I don't have the answers and its scary and stupid and I know I will get flack for trying to go on. So many people hurting now from the actions of 2 unhappy people who couldn't be honest. Their lies make my stomach turn and the results of them breaks my heart.
      A vow isn't something to be taken lightly. It is a promise. And once broken things can never fully be repaired. Trust is so hard to build and building it up the 2nd or third time is even more difficult. You might be able to glue a broken vase together again but you will always see the cracks and chips.
     So today remember that it is better to come straight out with the truth then it is to lie. The truth you tell today might hurt someone but the lies you tell today will hurt so many more! Be the change you want to see in this world! Truth and love to you all today <3

Life has been good to me this year!
I have not been without struggles though. I have been having a terrible time health wise. I just cannot seem to get my thyroid to stay in a normal range and so I suffer dizzy spells , sweating, moodiness, sleeplessness, no tolerance for hot or cold. As hard as it is on me it is even harder on my husband who I have to admit gets my badness taken out on him more often than he should. If I am feeling sick I have no patience and snap easily. I suffer from anxiety and so I am always accusing him of stupid things. But somehow he has managed to stay with me even when I take things out on him. I am really hoping that 2015 will bring my body and mind some stability.

Thank you to all the amazing people I have met this year and all those who have supported me in my journey! I wish you all the best in 2015!

Bad days...

    Everybody has them! those days when you just don't want to not be in your skin anymore. When your body suddenly becomes a hated enemy that is only working against you. Sometimes  "BAD "  is just not enough to describe these days!
     I have had a few ,terrible,awful evil bad bad days, recently and  I was getting more and more down on myself about being fat.I had been eating healthy and working out more and was starting to see results and then fell back into my bad habit of loving food a little too much! I felt like I was failing and instead of pushing myself harder I took the easy way out and gave up.I moped about it and stewed over it for 3 days and made myself hate my body and myself for not being strong enough to fight through cravings and follow through with my eating plans.
      Then last night at my best friends house her soon to be daughter in law Miranda came in to the house and told me I looked like I had lost weight. This was something I really needed to hear from someone who wouldn't just say that ! I began to feel a bit better about my body and when I went home and looked in the mirror I saw what she saw!
    Today I was getting ready for my photo shoot and I was angry because my hair wouldn't work and I was certain somehow these pictures would end up awful because how I have been feeling about myself would be obvious. But after fighting with my hair until it was decent and arriving to get my makeup done I slowly started to go back into what I like to call "sexy Linda mode". I remembered what Miranda said and I felt confident although not as confident as my usual self I have to admit.
    My husband came in to lace my corsets up during the shoot and I was shocked to find my corsets had to be tightened till they were fully closed! I always have about a 2 inch gap.! I was so happy to have all these little things to remind me that I didn't fail and I can continue even if I have a few bad days.
   I don't want to eat healthy and work out to get skinny! I just want to be healthy. It is a constant struggle for me because of my thyroid problems. After being diagnosed with graves disease and then having  RAI (radioactive iodine) to kill of my thyroid I now take thyroid replacement pills for the rest of my life. That wouldn't be the most horrible thing except even after 10 years  my meds never keep me in a good range for more then a few months before I am thrown to either way to high or way  to low. It is a roller-coaster I wish I could get off of and makes my emotions ridiculous!
     I learned today though that bad days eventually turn into good days and that it is fine to have bad days! I didn't fail at anything because I hated myself for a few days I just learned how to come back to feeling confident and proud of my body. Boudoir shoots work every time for me. So try not to beat yourself up over bad days just hold on till the good ones and come back even stronger for it!

Ursula inspired Halloween costume!

Happy Halloween!

     I am so excited to blog about my super amazing Ursula inspired sea witch costume! I make tutus and sell them and had a brilliant thought to turn a tutu into tentacles! Non of this would have worked without my amazing husbands help!
    I started with a shopping trip an hour and a half to the town over from us to Michaels ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/micheals-craft-store/291691193538 )craft store, where I bought sea shells for earrings and my hair and jewels and tiny shells for my face, and simply spray spray dye in black.
    once home I painted the shells and made them into earrings and hair things! They turned out pretty awesome!
The next step was to make the tutu! I spent a long time cutting all the tulle and getting it put together! Then my hubby went to the hardware store to get wire and came up with the perfect way to attach it to the tutu! Between the two of us we managed to get all the tentacles looking right! I had to use 2 crinolines and and amazing long black skirt by Hips and curves (  https://www.facebook.com/hipsandcurves )to get the poof I wanted and to hide my legs :)

Next up was time to dye my corset from orchard corset (https://www.facebook.com/orchardcorset ) ! I won this zebra print corset from them a year or two ago and had already used it in a shoot . I had originally planned to purchase a brand new corset for  my costume but didn't ennd up hainf the money for it! Thankfully this corset could easily be made black and still have the textured look I wanted! I took it outside and used the simply spray dye! I had bought 2 cans of it but one can malfunctioned and we had to make another trip to the next town over to get more! I ended up using 3 cans and kinda missed a few tiny spots but loved how it came out anyways!









    We all know details are important and I love how my nail artist Corrine from Attitude South ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Attitude-South-Salon/91996647169 )  made my nails the perfect detail!


 It was finally time to put it all together and who better to help than Lana from kids den events ( https://www.facebook.com/KidsDen ) ! She turned me into a luminescent shimmering beautiful sea witch! putting on all those gems and shells was a lot of work!



         My whole costume came together even better than I had hoped and I won 50$ for Best costume at a Halloween Bash! This has been my most epic costume EVER! So in closing......

                           HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS

Sweetlegs.ca are SWEET

 Hey everybody!
     Time to review some seriously awesome leggings! I first heard of these from the Queen of pin-up faces, Bianca bombshell!(Go look at her page and like it and then spend the day drooling and adoring like the rest of us  https://www.facebook.com/OfficialBiancaBombshell  ;)
     She posted a picture of the coolest leggings and if she says something is great I always know I can trust her opinion, so I went to the website www.sweetlegs.ca to check them out myself. I was a little skeptical because I am plus sized and the plus size is a one size fits kind of sizing. I decided it was worth the risk and went ahead and ordered 2 pairs, They arrived super fast and I eagerly opened the package. When I held up the pants I first noticed how amazingly soft they are! Like OMG soft! Then I thought to myself how they didn't really look like they would fit. I was in for a surprise as these smaller looking leggings hugged gently to my legs and fit like a dream. I do believe these are the best leggings EVER :)

      I love them so much I recently bought 2 more pairs! One of them is the fleece leggings and are going to be so wonderful for the northern winters here in British Columbia! I am so excited that dress season won't end with the first snowfall!!  So I say go buy them! and then buy some more! I plan to!!!

Kix'ies Review

     Today I am reviewing  Kix'ies thigh highs!( https://www.facebook.com/KixiesThighHighs )

     First off I must say one great thing about this company is the fact that a portion of the price goes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of her dad who passed away 20 years ago. I really enjoy buying things more if they are giving back in such an awesome way.
  
     Now on to the actual product! These thigh highs are AMAZING! They don't dig in. They don't fall down. They fit bigger thighs! They do everything they claim too and in this world that is a rare thing:)
     I first saw them on the Curvygirl lingerie Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/CurvyGirlInc?ref=br_tf )  then again on Lady Scarletts page ( https://www.facebook.com/LadyScarlettFanPage ) . She raved about them and I finally decided to give them a try! At first 18.95 seemed a bit high a price but honestly now I feel they are worth every penny! I ordered 2 pairs. The Ally, which features adorable polka dots and the Tiffany Which has diamond shapes.
     Shipping was fairly fast and reasonable. When The package got here it had a special little makeup surprise in it and a fabulous coupon for 5$ pair of Kixies that would work for all your friends and family too! So of course I bought myself another pair! And that pair also came with makeup and a personal use 5$ pair coupon so I went ahead and got another pair the too!
     With so many new styles that have come out you will find a pair of Kix'ies to go with any outfit you should choose to rock!

Here is a photo taken by Cat Tetreault Photography ( https://www.facebook.com/cattetreaultphotography )  this summer where I rocked a pair of these amazing thigh highs <3 buy them here - http://shop.kixies.com/Kimmie-Not-your-grandmas-argyle-1302.htm

Getting back into it..and Lola getz again :)

    Hello again! I know I know It has been a while..again! I have been on the go vacationing all summer and then the school strike meant I had to become a teacher for my son so he wouldn't fall behind at all. Now that summer is over though I am going to make time to write! I am thinking I will start to take 15 minutes everyday to log in and blog about whatever topic happens to be on my mind. Today I want to write more about the amazing skirts and dresses by Lola getz!

    On vacation I was lucky enough to get to meet the creator of these fabulous products when I met up with her downtown Vancouver to get this amazing troll skirt and top! She was so nice and looked so fabulous. I love that I can wear the skirt with any top I want!

 
 
On my last review I showed you a picture of my cat fabric I was sending to have made into a skirt! Here is that fabulous creation! I love the 2 smaller bands of elastic on the waist! It makes for such a great fit.
 
 
I am looking forward to receiving the two Halloween skirts I recently ordered! These skirts are perfect for any occasion and are custom made to fit you the way you like! Great quality products made by a super awesome gal for reasonable prices! What more could a girl ask for?.....Oh ya the link to where you can get yours!!! https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MissLolaGetz

Today you called me Disgusting.....

Today you called me Disgusting.....

You told me to find Jesus. Jesus wants me to tell you that he would never say or do something knowing it would hurt someone. Kindness. Compassion. Basic human decency. Perhaps someday you will learn about these things.I am sorry you are so unfortunate to not have those basic quality's. Good luck with your misguided worship and I hope no one ever makes you feel the way you made me feel.

You told me to go to the gym. Well I hope your grateful that god has given you perfection as some of us were not so lucky. some of us can starve ourselves of the fast food and sugary sweets and still put on weight. We can spend hours killing ourselves working out , only to not loose a pound. We take medicine to help our body regulate itself which also keeps the weight from going anywhere. But I am so pleased this isn't the case for you. You will probably never know the struggle.hurt.anger.heartbreak.sadness. pain. That so many thousands of people are dealing with at this very moment. How very nice for you.


Disgusting you said. And it hurt for a second because I have thought that of myself so often and worked so hard to build myself up and away from those negative thoughts. I didn't need to be reminded. But thank you for reminding me because you also reminded me how strong I am and how the opinions of one man will not make or break me!! I am perfect because of my imperfections. Never let anyone else dictate how you should feel about yourself.

And I feel Beautiful <3

Lola Getz Skirt review

Hello again!
     Today I am going to review 2 skirts by Lola Getz ( https://www.facebook.com/#!/lolagetzdesigns ) !
     I was contacted via my page ( https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Linda-Marie-Plus-Size-inspiration/146197205534202 ) and asked if I would like to try out a skirt! I jumped on this chance as it was the first time I had ever been asked and  I loved the skirts I had seen so far on her Facebook page and Etsy shops ( https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MissLolaGetz ) !
     She got my measurements and preferences like what length and if I liked pockets and what kind of fabrics I preferred and went to work and was finished pretty fast! She sent me the tracking number which was awesome because I didn't have to guess when it would arrive! I was super excited on Monday when it said the package was on a truck for delivery!
     The package got here and I opened it right away! It was wrapped nicely in yellow paper and I was super surprised to find not one but TWO skirts And a beautiful card with some birthday wishes for me <3 Such a nice surprise and I loved both skirts instantly!

   

 I tried on the red zebra print one with the cute heart pocket first! Its other features include a half stretch red band allowing for easy on and off and fabulous comfort and a nice red trim! The pocket while functioning won't keep your stuff secure so anything you don't wanna loose don't put in there! lol I find that I love the pocket anyway!
     The second skirt was made of a fabulous ice cream cone fabric! It features nice deep pockets , white trim, , a zipper and a stiffer band. This almost caused a problem as my hips are a bit bigger then my waist and it didn't want to go over but I solved that problem by pulling it on over my head! This style is more unforgiving because the waist band doesn't stretch but it also makes it more  secure around your waist then the half stretch band. I really really love the pockets on this one!They are my favourite feature!

     I can only conclude this with the fact that these skirts are amazing in  quality, functionality, comfort and cuteness! So much so in fact that I am sending her this adorable cat fabric I have had forever to get it made into a skirt!

I am real! A short version of my journey to being an inspiration.

                                                                I am real!
     
      I am an ordinary woman just like every other woman out there. I am a Mother. I am a Wife. I cook and clean. I spend a lot of my time at home. My life is not glamorous. I live in a townhouse close to what is the worst part of the town I live in because it is affordable. I struggle.
     
      I am Curvy. I was curvy at 16 years old when I was a size 3 and I am curvy now at a size 16. I understand everyones views because I have been on both ends of the spectrum. I went through a period in my life where I hated my body. Everyone does. Mine was after having my son and having my body change so far so fast.
     
     Then my family photographer offered a boudoir shoot. I really enjoyed the idea of having some pictures done so my man could take them to work. They came out amazing and I saw myself in a new light. I started doing as many shoots as I could! Every one built my confidence up higher and higher. I decided I wanted to share my pictures with my girl friends so I made my page.
    
     My biggest role model is Bianca Bombshell. One day she shared my page on hers and so many people flooded my page. I received message after message from women who told me I had changed there opinions of themselves by sharing my photos and confidence with them. Not just plus size girls but skinny girls. REAL woman. And I touched their lives and made them start a journey to love themselves too!

    I  am a real woman encouraging other real woman to love themselves. I believe ALL woman are real curvy woman. Big or small. short or tall. All of us are beautiful.

   Believe it!

   These quotes from  friends/fans really touched me

"I think your appeal is that for straight women, you are a real person that we can all relate to or want to be: a stay-at-home Mom of a young son, and wife of a really sweet guy. You are edgy and sweet, responsible and mischievous, even a "safe" "bad girl". For the straight men and lesbian women, you are someone with whom they can imagine being in relationship! Gay men (and all the rest of us) admire your style and good humour. All that!"

" You radiate everything that is beautiful about being a woman. You inspire others to be confident in their skin, you help women learn to love themselves! You manage to take each one of your curves and turn them into something admirable, into something to be proud of. You represent real women, you have your finger on the pulse of what curvy women want! I would choose you to boldly and tastefully represent those curves any day!"

"..u r real..u r beautiful inside and out being exactly who u r .also u take pride in inspiring others to b happy with themselves no matter what. You r everything a model these days should b. U r the modern day Marilyn Monroe ♡"

    I am amazed still that people really see what I stand for and think so much of it <3 Thank you!

Julie's Edible Bouquets freshness test

      Recently I was asked if I would be interested in helping out Julie over at Julie's Edible Bouquets ( https://www.facebook.com/#!/juliesediblebouquets ) in a freshness taste test! I ,of course, said YES.
      Today Julie dropped off 7 individually wrapped cake pops. My test began with eating one of these awesome chocolate cake pops and then practising some serious self restraint by not eating another one !LOL.
      On day one the taste is perfection. Moist cake on the inside and great quality chocolate coating it. You can truly taste the good quality.
       Day two tastes just as good as day one ! Delicious 
      Day 3 still scrumdidlyumptios ! 


So today is day 7! And I would say it was still the best cake pop I have ever eaten. I left them on my counter the whole 7 days ! I am grateful to have had this opportunity. I have learned that my self control is really much better then I thought! Thank you Julie !

The Lush Bodies Boudoir experience!

    I just have to tell you about the amazing experience I had yesterday! I travelled down to Williams Lake BC to do a boudoir shoot with Lush Bodies Boudoir Jana Roller Photography! She is Fantastic!Find her facebook page here... https://www.facebook.com/LushBodiesBoudoir
   
    Let me start at the beginning. I arrived at 10 Am at her studio and was greeted warmly by both the photographer and the hair/makeup stylist and we got straight to it after she offered water! I am always doing my own hair and makeup when  I get shoots done so it was a bit nerve racking to have someone else do me over but she was fast and confident and soon I looked like a super model! I could not have been happier with how it turned out! check out her web site here... http://www.toviseventessentials.com/ . She is also a party/wedding planner and from the conversations  we had she is amazing at her job!
   
    Now with my perfect hair and makeup done the hair stylist left and Jana started checking out outfits and she let me know how things would go down and she really has her setup perfect! A small space became many different backgrounds and we even went outside! I was completely comfortable in seconds and really loved how she has ideas and wants to try things and makes things perfect. I left a very very satisfied customer!!
    
   To make this even better today she posted not one but two photos of me and they are both AMAZING!Follow the link to her facebook page if you wanna take a peek and like her page her work is all stunning. I hope to work with both Jana and Tovi again soon!

Trying the IT WORKS bodywrap

         I tried an IT WORKS body wrap last night ! My measurements were 51-47-40. I used the wrap for the suggested 45 minutes. It felt tingly like peppermint.I drank 2 bottles of water with it on. After the 45 minutes. I removed the wrap and rubbed in the leftover lotion. Then  I remeasured myself. New measurements are 47-43-39. That is a pretty good amount  of loss right there . I have  one  more wrap left and will try it  out  on Monday and add to this post  the results.

Karters 5TH Harry Potter Birthday Party

   
 This birthday party was so much fun to plan! I think I did pretty good all by myself! It all started with picking the venue.
      We decided that bowling was a great idea and rented 2 lanes for 2 hours for 86$ which I think is not bad at all! I know now that maybe this wasn't the greatest idea as most of the time was spent just trying to get through the game with the young kids. that's not to say it didn't end up great it did and our bowling alley was very nice and helpful.
   
 So with that part done I went online to find harry potter themed party supplies. This was so hard! Harry potter is not very popular and  lots of the stuff  I found either couldn't be shipped to Canada or wouldn't make it  in time . When I was just bout to give up I found wish upon a party!( https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Wish-Upon-a-Party/133275648524?fref=ts ) They had what I needed and  it got here really fast! even had some extra glow sticks thrown in! I will for sure be using them again for future parties! here is a picture of the plates cups and table cloth!

      While online I also researched to see what everyone else was doing for this party theme. thank you pinterest! I saw many cool ideas and spent the 2 weeks before the party  in super craft mode! I knew  I had to have magic wands and found a super simple way to make some really real looking ones! I used chopsticks , hot glue ,paint and beads/wire stuff to make these amazing wands!


 
I also knew I had to have a sorting hat!! I found a tutorial online using google! I then needed a witch hat which a nice person in my community gave me fore free! With the hat  in hand I began with crumpling up brown paper bags  in pieces and then I hot glued them onto the hat. at first it seemed like it wasn't going so well but  it came together  in the end and I made one heck of an amazing sorting hat!

 
I also made all the goodies bags myself! I made them to look like broomsticks! These were one of the funnest things I made also from pinterest! I filled them with glow sticks, candy,  harry potter stickers and bubbles. I bought a bunch of twigs from the dollar store for the handles and printed of the tags!
 
 
The rest was printed off and /or painted by me! So many fun ideas! I made some signs,  house badges and ties. used cheap tshirts for robes!






The food was amazing! I ordered all my party food from Julies Edible Bouquets! ( https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152560142275433.967371.663800432&type=3#!/juliesediblebouquets?fref=ts ) For only 150$ including delivery right to the bowling alley I got a fruit bouquet, a veggie bouquet, and a cookie/cakepop/chocolate strawberries bouquet all made to my theme! They were a huge hit and I use her services whenever possible! the cakepop one is pictured below!

I would say this was my sons greatest birthday yet and  I have no idea how  I will top it next year! But i will sure try!

The wagon

    What to say about the wagon..hmmm....I fell off it! LOL. I know its not normally a laughing matter, but I am just so happy to be off!

          I am still working out and watching what I eat and I haven't gained back any weight yet! I am so much happier and healthier feeling when I'm not starving myself of carbs! I do think the diet is a great way to get quick results but not really a forever thing (at least not for me). I will probably follow cycle one for 1 week out of the month and see what kind of results I can get that way!


     I had a photo shoot today with Empowering pix photography and had so much fun! I love any time I get to rock one of my many awesome accessories from Vintagebox 1947! I love me just the way I am now!

Trying posting from my iPhone

Random picture of my blanket enjoy !

Hello again!

     I haven't been posting lately because  I have been sick :( and then  yesterday I had a tooth pulled so now I'm sore and sick! I have been staying  on the diet though and  am now down to 188.5 lbs!!  That's a pretty decent weight loss especially since  I haven't been working out. I really hope this cold goes away soon though I feel all groggy and I just don't have the energy to do anything. I will be better soon though and then I will try some more recipes and get some pics posted up here for all you people who are following me.( I don't really think anyone is but oh well.lol)

Weigh in (Day 5)

     Weigh in day had me shaking in my boots! I am not one of those people who weigh themselves constantly, in fact I don't even own a scale. So the fear of not knowing had me stepping on my Wii fit board which is not a very good judge of weight when its on carpet! It told me I gained 5 pounds!! I could have cried. I have to admit to eating a bunch of chocolate the night before after getting my stupid period.

     I arrived with my bff for weigh in and we were both convinced we had gained. She weighed in first and  lost 1 pound! I thought that meant I would have lost too but no such luck:( I went from 193.7 to 194. I almost did cry. seems silly now and I am looking forward to seeing better results next Friday!

     Lastnight I went to a naughty nightie party! I had such a nice time and didn't over eat or really eat anything bad! Bought lots of candles and a few naughty toys. I even won the honour of hostess and got 35$ off my purchase. I also got an awesome coffee mug with a super yummy smelling candle in it!

    One more thing !!! I am restarting my food journal which i gave up on for a few days! I can do this and it will get easier! Here's to Health!

Days 3 and 4

    You already know  I had  bad day and it didn't really get much better until I got my purse! I love it it's awesome. I didn't stick 100% to my diet today. I am not going to waste time feeling super bad about it. I know why my day was bad now too...That dreaded time of the month! And with weigh in tomorrow I may be paying out 2$ per pound gained:( really sucks! How embarrassing to gain the first week instead of loose. NOTE: First time I've been happy about getting my period because it means  I get to add some foods to my diet!

    So lastnight  I made salmon,green beans, and mock mashed potatoes. The salmon and green beans were yummy! This was not true of the mocked mash potatoes. I must have gone wrong somewhere with those because none of us ate them.

    Tonights delicious dinner ( was a cheat cause of all the cheese) Cauliflower pizza!! This is seriously better then delivery pizza. My whole family ate this up in seconds and thirds! Next time  I would not cook this on parchment paper so it would crisp up a bit more.

    Here is to hoping That tomorrow is a better day!
