Let’s Transition Some Summer Dresses to Fall/Winter

Forever dreaming  I’m in a winter wonderland ❄️❄️❄️ I love wearing dresses.  They are what make me feel the most comfortable and confident right now.  I thought that I would share how I style someone my favorite dresses from the warmer summer months and make them a little warmer and cozier for the fall and winter months.  Please keep in mind that I am a California girl, so the weather here gets cold for ME, but probably not THAT cold compared to other places in the world.  Summer to Fall/Winter Dress Look 1 Take your fav dress and pair it with a cardigan. Throw on a sassy classic hat and some sneakers. You are ready to go! Summer to Fall/Winter Dress Look 2 Take that same dress but now we are putting a sweater over it. You still see the beautiful dress on the bottom, which now looks like a skirt but you are all snuggly warm in an oversized sweater or sweatshirt. Again pair it with a classic pair of sneakers and you are good to go! Wearing little booties or boots would be a cute way to style these looks up for the colder months

Eating Disorder Recovery Update

If you didn’t know I struggle with Binge Eating Disorder. I have been seeing a therapist and working on recovering from this. To say it has been hard is an understatement. As much as I want to recover, I sometimes question if it is possible for ME to actually recover.  I question if I am doing the right thing regularly.  I catch myself feeling like this is too hard and I just want to go back to my old ways and just focus on weight loss, where it feels like it would just be easier to starve myself, kill myself in the gym, and stress over every single thing I ate and put into my body again.  To go back to having nightmares every night that told me to just stop eating. To keep focusing so much on weight loss that nothing else in my life matters until I am “skinny”.  Telling myself that if I can just lose weight again, I will be happy, people will like me more and life will just be….better.  As I sit here and type this, with tears rolling down my cheeks, I KNOW for a fact that I

Iron Levels Update and Results

Lipedema Back in June 2022, I finally received the help the I have needed for so long regarding all of the issues I have had with understanding fluid retention, swelling, pain, and rapid weight gain.  I was diagnosed with Lipedema.  You can read more about that HERE.  Unfortunately, my Lipedema is pretty severe and it has spread throughout my entire body.  At this point, surgery is the only thing that can help. Lipedema surgery was canceled  So as much as I do not want more surgery and as frustrated as I am to be dealing with more body issues, I was all ready to have surgery number one on my legs and was so hopeful I would be on the path to start feeling better! A few days before surgery, my surgery was canceled due to my iron levels being too low.  I was and still am heartbroken.  I later found out my iron was not just low, it was severely low and I was actually anemic.  All of this makes sense since I have felt “off” for a while.  I have had very low energy, felt exhausted, and just didn’t feel like myself.
