Thanks!

I know! I see women larger than me rockin booty shorts everyday! That's what finally inspired me.

Thank you!! :D

I don't mind my paleness, but I always felt like it made my thighs that much more noticeable. Definitely better than sunburn!

Thanks! It's an Andy Warhol drawing!

Thank you! I got high waisted ones that are more flattering than the jean shorts of my youth that I remember. Go get some!

I got high waisted ones from Modcloth! Do it!

Thanks! We all have silly insecurities that no one else can see I guess!

Thank you, you guys are all so nice!

Thank you!! I live up four flights of stairs, which has definitely helped in the leg department!

Aw thanks!

Thank you!! :) Here is the tattoo:

I used to think IKEA was exhausting, but now I realize it was just my ex husband that was exhausting. IKEA is lovely now.

I feel ya. My ex and I were starting to get serious about the whole baby thing until he freaked out and dumped me. I’m certainly glad we didn’t end up having kids but sometimes it just really bothers me that my life isn’t turning out like I thought it would. (31, divorced, watching Netflix in my underwear while eating…

I'm a very social person and started living alone about six months ago after my divorce. I was terrified to live alone, convinced it would be horribly depressing. But when I entertained the idea of roommates, I knew what I really needed was my own space. I got this little studio apartment and it turns out I love…

Aw, thanks! Happy to spread some joy!
