Are you in the UK?

If you live in the UK, the Channel Isles or the Republic of Ireland you should take a minute and check out Marisota

They’ve got some really cute things. Their customer support department is very helpful. I emailed them to see if they shipped internationally and currently they do not. They only ship to the above mentioned areas. So if you are in any of these areas and haven’t checked them out recently, I recommend you stop by for a bit of shopping!

Have You Watched “More to Love”?

I’m just curious if anyone of you have watched the “Plus Size” or “regular” version of the Bachelor? You know I say Yay for the station picking up a show that has some curvy women on it. I think it’s great.

BUT, and this is a HUGE but…After watching this show for the last couple weeks I have found that I can’t stand the women! What makes it so bad is that I made a comment to my husband and he said I do it too….
