Why I LOVE Creating Sponsored Posts (and why you seem to love it too)

Raise your hand if you are easily annoyed by #ad. [everyone in the room raises hand] [I slowly raise mine too] I'm right there with you! Influencer marketing is SO prevalent and it can be SO frustrating to see your favorite DIY Meals account post a photo of her #gifted Mejuri set. But I am …

Modesty, but Make it Fashion (some encouragement for my high school beauties)

The more I study fashion (whether it's timeless classics, fleeting trends, or personalized style), the more I discover just how many modest options there are. Growing up, I always felt so out of place because of mine and my family's standards of modesty. But I am currently scrolling through a Vogue.com article and realizing just …

Fashion, Food, and Mental Health

Hi, my name is Lindsay, and I have Binge-Eating Disorder. As most of you know, I often categorize myself as a plus-size blogger. What most of you don't know is that when I was creating my website 10 months ago, I was at the very beginning of my transition to plus size. A couple days …

The Lilies of the Field

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, …

“Wanna Follow-for-Follow??”

Has anyone ever commented on your post and said "I love this picture/post so much! Would you like to follow-for-follow?" Yeah, I have too. This is a representation of one of social media's biggest issues: accounts seeking inauthentic growth. The attitude that says "I want this-many followers and I don't care how I get them." …

From All Angles

I had the most interesting conversation with a friend the other day. I snuck a candid picture of him to send to a mutual friend. He saw it and said "yeah... that's not my best angle." So naturally I went on this long tangent about how I was going to post the photo to my …

Things I Have Learned This Week

1. Blogging is not my whole life. No matter how big I get, no matter how many brands want to work with me, I never "have" to do this. This morning I almost spent a lot of money I don't have on a photo shoot until my mom helped me decide to cancel (and yes, …

Destructive terms that the fashion industry should STOP USING

It is indisputable that the fashion industry caters toward a very specific body type, and this concept is manifest in many of the terms we use to describe the array of sizes and body types that do not fit this mold. I am such a fan of the movement to embrace all bodies in the …

Let’s Talk About Modesty

I brand myself as a "modest" blogger, but it has occurred to me that I have never taken the time to explain what that means. I am a Christian, so I view modesty in terms of my faith. But modesty is not only following a command of God, but also a sign of respect to …
