Mexico

Full report hopefully daily on Mexico and the travel there. I plan on the Dolphin Adventure, horseback riding (def weight requirement) SCUBA, no plus size wet suits to be found, and shopping which is my specialty any readers want me to check on anything while I am there?

Zappos!

By error I came across a plus sized section on Zappos...it isn't just shoes, and with a 365 day return policy you can not lose...some links of note:

Unique pieces. Enjoy.

Did you all know?

That according to Delta regulations a person who must use a belt extender can not sit in an exit row? I discovered this one of last trips abroad. I actually copied by hand the law. I suppose the claim is a belt extender can impede those leaving the plane. Hmmm, I am thinking someone with a stylish scarf or belt could impose the same danger. What say you?

Finding my place in the sun

It seems we have been bombarded by websites that offer plus sized clothing but NOT quite. If you get my meaning. Yes I can find a pair of jeans and nice heels and even wear something that is strapless with the right bra but, and this is a big BUT I can't find what I need without a lot of work. I want, what I want when I want it and I want it to fit. I like reading other blogs that are devoted to fashion and fashion based on my square, circle, oblong, rectangle, triangle , pear , apple , peach, or mac shaped body. When I want to purchase work-out clothing, or a swimsuit for my trip to mexico its a big deal. Will I need to wear a bra with the swimsuit YES rrrgggghh that can be quite uncomfortable as I am swimming with the little angel fish and spying for some species of shark or an octopus in the great deep. I have to order it, hope it fits and hope it arrives in time for my trip. I just don't think that is fair, why can't I go to Target, Walmart, Macy's or a local Torrid (which is no longer) and have my swim wear ready to go. Not to mention that I can not find a plus sized wet suit with feminine colors ....which moves me once again to look in the mens department and online. Help!

Jessica Simpson

Hey Check out the Price of Beauty on vh1.com I know, I know, Jessica Simpson but it really is very good. She travels the world with Cacee and Ken and discovers what is beautiful around the world. The first episode is filmed in Thailand. She meets a woman who used creams to lighten her skin and suffered major consequences. And...of course its filled with Jessica's little touches. Oh I adore her.

Go to Outfit

Hi readers what is your go to spring outfit for the summer and where did you get it?

Clothing Alert!

I am sure you all have found your way onto etsy.com looking for handmade scarves and mittens, a nice place to sell your wares without the strictness of ebay or my favorite craigslist...no commitments to be had. Etsy.com provides a right side link for plus sizes. This is is amazing you will pay for handmade or antique things in your size 12 and up! So for all of you, like me who love the anthropologie catalog but must skip past to shoes and bags because they only carry up to size 12 if that. Between etsy and eshakti you will be in business. Now if anyone out there sees plus sized activewear comparable to Nau.com....a dream. Oh on etsy they have retro swim suits. Now for you daring plus sized divas there is a wonderful site called loveyourpeaches.com...I have ordered from them for years and you will not be disappointed at the quality and shipping times. Strike out and get that bikini. Who's looking? Everyone and it is a glorious thing.

It suddenly struck me....

Who is my audience? What do YOU do for recreation?

Flightseeing-you can fly over your favorite beach...weigh in required?

The Coastal Living magazine which I adore as I envision my final resting place by the Ocean, easy to clean and oh yes an outdoor shower so that no one including family will track sand through my house. Okay back on topic Flightseeing, Flightseeing is going over a beach a being taken in by what you see. In the March 2010 article Flightseeing is featured and 4 areas are listed:

1) Key West, Florida

2)San Juan Islands Washington

3)Maine Coast

4)Kauai, Hawaii.

Thus far I have only researched the Key West which includes "The Shipwreck Tour over Key West's Fleming Key Channel lasts 18 minutes and costs $140 for two, plenty, of time to take in the string of islands and keys that drip down from Florida's tip Or, go for the eight-minute jaunt at$60 for two Your Pilot-Key West Biplane Tours 877/359/5397 or keywestairtours.com/tours.html-pg. 19 of Coastal Living March 2010

There is a weight requirement 500 lbs between the two passengers, so if you are 280 lbs and your husband brings you over the top one of you won't be going. A person also needs to be able walk up two steps to mount the plane...hmm Mrs. Marci Pavia stated that those with limited ability have taken the ride. I inquired about seating and did they have belt extenders. She ensured that the seat belts were long enough for anyone. This I doubt I would personally purchase a belt extender just so you have your own and you are never stuck somewhere without one if you are going to fly in a city, its nice to have your extender. You can simply google it but look for discounts instead of buying the first one you see. If any of you know of an inexpensive website that sells extender.

What Bra do I wear...Men read your wife will love you!

The worse thing for plus sized women besides not having all of the adorable matching outfits (maybe that is not so bad) is not having the right bra. Then again plus sized women all have different sized breast so I just say to those of you who are a DDD and above the Elomi plus sized sports bra...just google it. I found mine on Bare Neccesities and it was a whopping 60 something dollars but it was SO worth it. It transformed working out for me, jumping jacks, kicking, running, and walking. If anyone else has tried other bras for those size DDD and up please leave comment below. Ah, true freedom.
