My Curves and Me & Cleo Meg

November 21, 2012

There’s one rule I fastidiously live by and it’s always be a bargain hunter.  I’m thankful for growing up in a household which meant our family had to watch the pennies because it taught me to be thrifty and wise with my cash.  I hate […]

October 15, 2012

Strapless bras, multiway bras, push up and plunge.  For something so small, bras sure know how to bewilder us! You shouldn’t have to possess a science degree to know which bra you could be wearing with your little black dress.  But never fear, no matter […]

If you’re gonna come shopping with me, be prepar If you’re gonna come shopping with me, be prepared for crap like this. 😆 

Go hard or go home I guess. 🤪

1. Buying up all the post-Christmas bargains
2. Knocking everything over
3. Scavenging like a hobo

Mum’s been in hospital for a few months now with Mum’s been in hospital for a few months now with a diagnosis of CIDP. Had never even heard of it before. From what little I understand, it’s a chronic rare autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own nerves, causing damage that affects feeling in hands and feet, reducing dexterity and mobility to practically nothing. It’s terrifying. 😟

Mum’s being such a fighter. Taking on all the rehab and treatments while having to rely on the nurses for doing anything. It’s heartbreaking to see her limited to her hospital bed with pain and uncomfortable sensations in her body. It’s literally the ultimate nightmare illness that sets to steal your independence and very wellbeing. 😢

But Mum is a warrior of faith 💪 who stands on scripture that boasts healing in the name of Jesus. 🗡️ 🛡️ So we’re praying for a full recovery with the hope that Mum will be back in her own home again soon. 

Love you, Mum! ❤️

AD✨ Washing away the January blues with some vib AD✨ Washing away the January blues with some vibrant undies by @myoddballs.

Comfy and cute is mandatory for droll days like this. ☁️ Fully stretch cotton with soft seams and deep elastic bands mean Oddballs crop tops and boxer briefs stay put and wear like a dream.

I adore the pants!  They fit like a glove and are sooo comforting on period days when I need to wear a heat pad on my tummy.

Just need to request a fuller bust crop top cos my b(.)(.)bs need more snuggle room! 😄

Here’s something you may bump into me doing… b Here’s something you may bump into me doing… bargain shopping, charity shopping, thrift hauling, call it what you will. I love the thrill of shopping, always on the hunt for silly prices and getting a deal with a little “squee” dance when it hits the sweet spot. 

Who else loves bargain shopping? 🛍️
