Weekly Obsessions

This has been a pretty chill week. I had a few job interviews, my niece stayed over, and I watched an insane amount of tv.
A few things I am loving: Wen Hair Care This summer my hair has been a bitch. I have tried everything. Conditioning masks, leave in treatments, oils, EVERYTHING.  I have been hearing good things about this lately and when Meg (one of my favorite bloggers, check her out!) said she has been loving it, I decided to try. I got pretty lucky, my Mom bought some on QVC (she is retired now, I guess that is how she is passing the time.) She told me she loved it, but her hair is so short, she thought I'd get better use out of it. So sweet. She had the Spring Gardenia and I love it. I have used it just twice now and I cannot believe the difference in my hair.

Hobby Lobby...no shocker there!  I typically only shop HL for craft supplies, or if there is a sale. In the last month, I have gotten KILLER deals on home decor. I found 4 MUST have items for under $5 each. 90% aisle treated me well. In addition to that, I was like an addict needing a fix in the fabric aisle. I came home with over 6 yards of beautiful fabric for less than $17.

I am OBSESSED with the town Farmer's Market! It is no doubt the highlight of my week lately and I am so beyond stoked to go tonight.
Annnnnnnnnnnd my other obsession? My killer boudoir photograher. I keep creeping on pictures of myself. Vain? Nah.

Check that off the list

About a month ago, I posted about being nervous about doing a boudoir photo shoot. Last week, I had my shoot.  It wasn't ANYTHING like I thought it would be. And truthfully, I pretty much forgot I was walking around in my undies.  Yesterday, I was able to meet with the photographer and see the pictures. They are AMAZING!! She picked a few that she will be using in her look books and ads. eeeeep! She asked if it was ok to post online, and I surprised myself and said YES! I truthfully do not care WHO sees them. They are very tasteful. And honestly, I wish I had seen some better plus size shots when I was looking at pictures for inspiration.  Since I was modeling for her, I have a photo credit (I want to buy them all!) and was given a digital image of my choice. I went with this one:

Mean girls.

I love Facebook for my stalker tendencies.  What I do not love is how angry I allow it to make me. Case in point, this article was posted today: H&M Uses Plus-Size Model to Showcase Swimwear I, like many people, think that the term plus size is completely overused.  And plus sized or not, she is beautiful. Healthy does NOT have to look like this: Source She is fit, and gorgeous and healthy. But this isn't the ONLY picture of healthy that exists.  I think the above picture is stunning, and I think yeah it might be fun to look like that. But do you know what my goal body looks like? Source Curvy. Happy. HEALTHY. It makes me INSANE.  If you are comfortable with how you look, fantastic. If you want look look a certain way, go for it. But do NOT sit there and say that the beautiful H&M model is perpetuating the obesity epidemic. Nobody at H&M is glorifying obesity. They are showing a bathing suit with shape.  For the idiots that are out there.... Eff You.
