Janie Ruddell and I met less than a year ago. She was my barista at the coffee shop I go to quite often. We would talk about the projects we were each working on. She worked on films and production and I work in the fashion industry. Both us of clearly the creative types. We bonded over our similar feelings on body positivity and love for photo shoots. Clearly, we had to figure out a way to collaborate. Janie had talked about wanting to do a Pin Up shoot months ago, but it fi

There are a few things that I always need when choosing athletic wear for myself. My checklist of necessary components of athletic wear is simple and seems easy to fulfill. However, when it comes to plus size active/athletic wear, brands who hit each mark are few and far between. Thankfully, TEMA Athletics hits them all!

Pulleez hair bands are revolutionary. I'm not even close to lying when I say these Pulleez hair bands made such a difference in my daily life and routine. Normal hair bands were always really tough on my hair and without question pulled out my hair every day. On top of that, I am one of those people who always wears a hairband on their wrist... but the problem is I have 1) very sensitive skin and 2) larger wrists.

If you love clothes, you've probably heard of the brand LuLaRoe by now at some point or another... but have you tried them yet? After quite some time of wanting to, I finally got to connect with a LuLaRoe consultant, who I absolutely love! Michelle Kendall knows what she's talking about and has such great style. She helped pick out some GREAT pieces for me! We both strongly wanted to show that items that are more "body-con" cut can without a doubt, be pulled off by a curvy/pl

There are certain pieces and people of history that resonate with everyone differently. There are people who can inspire you to become the person you want to be. Intentionally or not, there are two women who have helped mold me to the ever-changing person I am. Two powerhouse, trailblazing women who refused to conform to anyone else's standards for the sake of their own happiness and art. Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo are artists who helped teach me to create my art unapol

I'd love to talk about what I very much consider my first big "baby steps" I took on social media that was monumentally my start of becoming body positive. Basically, a few days after I made made my Instagram account, I felt compelled to do something "radical". I was looking at my gallery on my phone, scrolling through all of these "selfies" and pictures I had taken that I had never shared with anyone before. I'll never be sure why I took them in the first place (considering

Hey, it's me. For those who don't know, my name is Faith, or as you might know me, @faith-plusfashion from Instagram. As you may or may not know, I am an aspiring plus size model, body positive/fashion Instagram blogger/freelance artist. This is my first ever official blog post, and I am quite terrified. Let me explain... I started an Instagram account about a year ago, and since then a lot of my world has changed. I started with a journey, no "exact" destination, but with a
