Size DOES Matter!!

Now, I know what your thinking, & get your mind out of the gutter lol ;)

No, I'm talking about weight. I know, scary thought that most of us try to put out of our heads, at least until we reach for that chocolate bar that we really don't need but really really want!

After having an accident in January 2011 & having some serious pain meds, I have now put on a substantial amount of weight & finding it very upsetting I must say :(

First of all, the fact that 95% of my wardrobe doesn't fit is an issue, as a) can't really afford to buy a whole new wardrobe, & b) most of my clothes I love & they are styling so it is with great sadness I have had to relegate them to space bags!

Now I have been forced to find a few key pieces, very carefully culled from countless recycled clothing stores & altered to suit my tastes. I absolutely refuse to buy anything new as I am hoping in the near future to be able to stop the meds & shed the weight. This being said, I now have some great bits & pieces to mix & match to get me through winter. And while the extra weight shouldn't define me, I can't help but feel less attractive in my appearance, to myself & to others around me.

But out of all of this, I have finally decided what I want to do with the rest of my life professionally, this is where Pink Poppy Makeovers came to be. I have been extremely proud to watch my make-up artistry skills bring out the inner beauty & glow of women, making them look & feel gorgeous.

So unfortunately we live in a society where extra weight is deemed unattractive, but I am doing my small part to make any & all women feel empowered – beautiful inside & out!
