It’s no secret that starting this blog was the start of my own body confidence and self-acceptance journey. As I always say, it hasn’t been easy and I’m very much still on it. However, compared to where I was a couple of years ago, I have come a long way. In the past 18 months I’ve worn bright colours, bared my arms, dabbled in playsuits, worn a bikini and even done a bit of modelling. If you had asked me to do any of these 2 years ago I probably would have laughed in your face and run to the nearest ‘lose weight quick’ advert. Because I always thought my curves were a bad thing. But I’ve learnt to embrace them, work with them and love them.
It’s helped meeting some amazingly gorgeous women along the way. Yes… plus size women have had the biggest impact on my because it isn’t often you see curvier women in the media looking fashionable, looking gorgeous and being happy. But finding the plus size blogging community and with it some really special friends. Well, it’s literally changed my life. (Cheese ball moment) But it isn’t just the plus size community. Looking further afield there are SLOW changes that are happening with women embracing their curves and embracing all bodies, no matter their shape or size.
Daxon – Love Your Curves
One of the best things about accepting my size is that I’ve magically found places that actually sell fashionable plus size clothing and I’m not forced into hiding myself. Why should I?! I really do admire brands who attempt to offer all sizes. It is difficult and while it isn’t perfect, there are some brands that are trying. Daxon are one of them. They offer clothing in sizes 6 – 32. It’s a brand that’s relatively new to me but this makes embracing my curves even easier… another place to investigate!
They are currently running a competition where they want you to embrace your curves and be as confident as you can. It’s actually a really nice message which is why I want to help support the competition. There is a £250 shopping spree up for grabs and you can enter on the Daxon Facebook page. All you have to do is upload a picture of yourself looking and feeling fabulous! I’ll be entering too so fingers crossed for everyone! Let me know if you enter and I can pop on and like your picture!
