My Third Bloggerversary!

A couple of weeks ago my little blog turned 3, and I totally forgot about it! I usually organise some sort of bloggerversary giveaway but it slipped my mind so I'll see what I can do! I never thought I'd do so much with my blog and keep it going for so long, so here are some of my favourite things I'd done recently.

Writing for She Might Be

When Georgina Grogan started her online magazine She Might Be I applied to write for them and was thrilled to be accepted as a main contributor. I'm actually the second most active writer on the site and I am SO proud of what I've written for them, particularly 'Let's Reclaim the Word Fat' and 'The Problem with Iskra Lawrence'. Being part of a body positive environment that encourages self love for everyone is so amazing and has really pushed me to keep going with my blogging and be a better human being. Seeing people enjoy what I write is such a mind blowing thing for me!

My photoshoot with the utterly awesome Shannon Swift. I haven't written about my experience being on the other side of the camera yet, but I will soon, but I am so so glad I did this and got to meet Shannon. Plus, the photos are beyond beautiful and made me feel so wonderful.

Meet bloggers I've admired for years and make some fantastic friends! I don't have many female friends IRL, but because of blogging I've been surrounded by strong and inspiring women like Steph of Nerd About Town, Nancy of Sugar Darling, Georgina of She Might Be Loved, Bethany of Arched Eyebrow, Tara of Cattitude and Co, it could be a never ending list of inspo. There are so many people on my 'must meet' wishlist, like Marie Southard-Ospina, Alysse Dalessandro and Ushshi. One day!

Since my last bloggerversary I married my amazing husband Stu, and I shared the planning and details of our wedding along the way. Check out the wedding tab at the top of my blog for DIY tutorials, advice and so much more. I'm so lucky!

I haven't been on many adventures, I don't get invited to many brands events and I live miles from London so my blogger experience isn't the 'typical' London blogger experience by any stretch, but I enjoy what I do and plan to keep on doing it for a little while longer yet!

Much love,

Introducing She Might Be

She Might Be is a brand new plus size magazine and community that I am so proud to be a part of. It is the brain child of the fabulous Georgina Grogan of She Might Be Loved, and the contributors are all plus size bloggers!

I'm one of 13 writers, sizes 16-28, and our ages range from early 20' to 50s. We have a great mix of different bloggers and experiences who can all bring something unique to the table.

I have three articles live at the launch which is so exciting. The feedback on my first article, which was actually the first one on the entire website, has really blown me away and been so touching.

My first article is all about reclaiming the word fat, you can read it here

I would love to hear what subjects you want me to write about. Is there a brand you are curious about? Is the latest buzzword or hashtag really getting on your nerves? Tweet me and let me know!

Next up is an article about photography and the plus size body that you can read at the link below

And finally, '#SheMightBeDiverse', all about the lack of real diversity in body positive campaigns. We got the hashtag trending on twitter! Read it here http://shemightbe.co.uk/shemightbediverse/

We will have articles about fashion, beauty, lifestyle, hot topics and so much more. We were trending on twitter on the first day of the launch! How cool is that?

I am so proud to be a part of this magazine, and so proud of Georgina for creating such a positive space! I can't wait to see what comes next.

Much love,
