30 Letters of Summer : Day 11 - A Deceased Person You wish You Could Talk To

Dear Bob Ross,
You are my inspiration, you are still my favourite artist of all time. You inspire most of my paintings, and when I paint I feel like you guide me. I watch re-runs of your show, I truly love it! You had the most soothing voice, and your talent was beyond amazing. I used to get up early to catch your show, and I would often fall asleep because your voice was so soothing, that it lulled me back to sleep; surprisingly I seemed to retain the information you shared even though I fell asleep lol. I loved it when you would paint anything to do with water, from your sea shore landscapes to your water streams in the woods, I absolutely adored it. Even though you’ve passed away, your spirit lives on through your work, from every intricate detail to the most beautiful “happy accidents” I’ve ever seen lol, I am forever inspired by you. When I look at my paintings I automatically think of you, and although my talent is no where near as great as yours, I’m proud of them, because you’ve taught me so much. I wish I got the chance to meet you, because you were such a kind person with a kind heart. I hope, you are at peace, because you deserve it.
With Love,


LaCara

Some of Bob Ross' s work



I chose to paint this for my art pre-exam...I then had to come up with something of my own



30 Letters of Summer : Day 10 - Someone You Don't Talk to as much as You'd Like To

The letter for Day 10 is :

Day 10 - Someone you don't talk to as much as you'd like to

I thought long and hard about this, and I've come up with no one. Anyone that I wish to talk to, I do, so there will be no letter for this, sorry!

Love,

30 Letters of Summer : Day 9 - Someone You Wish You Could Meet

Dear God,

I wish I could I meet you right now, I would love to know what’s in store for me. My connection with you is very strong, so I know you respond to any question I may have for you, yet sometimes I feel like I can’t hear your reply. I have so many questions and thoughts on today’s world, and you have the answers, so perhaps you can enlighten me. There are times when my faith wavers, not because I don’t have faith in you, but because at times I don’t have faith in myself. Then when I pray, everything seems to fall into place, so thank you, for your never ending support and unconditional love. My faith and love for you is eternal, you've been with me from the day I was brought on to your world, and I am for ever grateful for that. All I ask is that you continue to remain by my side, and continue to guide me.
Love,
LaCara

30 Letters of Summer: Day 8 - Your Favourite Internet Friend

Dear Readers,

You all are my internet friends, so I couldn’t just one of you! Each of you are unique, and I really appreciate all your support and comments! I truly enjoy reading your comments and your blogs, you all inspire me to step up my game and for me to put 150% into my blog. I didn’t think that there was a supportive community for plus size women, and I was overjoyed when I came across “fat” blogs, because you guys are simply amazing and beautiful! When I read your blogs, it’s like I can hear all of your voices, every single one of you have something different to say, and I like reading your opinions and thoughts on any topic. Some of you have more pictures on your blog than words, and some of you have more words than pictures, I love it either way, because every blog is different. I am blown away by your creativity and style, and I look to your blogs for inspiration. Signing on to my blog and seeing the new updates, truly makes my day, I look forward to seeing what your wearing and what you have to say, which keeps me motivated to continue to nurture my own blog. I wish all of you nothing but success and happiness, so continue being fabulous and stylish!


Love,
LaCara

OOTD Fail...sort of.

Hello dolls, an OOTD finally! I know! My "photographer" hasn't been around yet, so I had my sister Lianna of Beauty Plus By Lianna take my pictures lol. The photoshoot was kind of a fail, because I was overly hot, irriated, and the quality of the pictures are slightly horrendous, but my next OOTD will be better. Anyway I kept it simple today, because the weather was fugly, it was humid and hot :(
So without further a due here are the fail pictures lol, the pics aren't that bad, but they could be better :)

30 Letters of Summer : Day 7 - Your Ex-Boyfriend

Dear V.P,

Looking back to when we was together, I am so glad it didn’t work. We wasn’t meant to be, and I knew that before I agreed to go be with you. I regret buckling under your pressure to go out with you, I wish I stood my ground and continued to tell you “No!”, because I had no feelings for you what so ever. When we was together, I felt stifled, I was restricted and I felt tied down, I wasn’t happy and in fact I was sad the whole time we was together. I was trying to be nice and please you, and I wish I didn’t. The relationship was one sided, and I don’t see how it lasted as long as it did. I wasn’t strong when I was with you, but I’ve learnt from our “relationship”. I’ve learnt not to settle for anything less, and not to be with someone in order to please them, because I sold myself short when I was with you. You was controlling and refused to give me my space, you acted immaturely and didn’t deserve me. You accused me of fooling around, you was jealous and ill tempered, at times you could be sweet but that was very rare. I repressed so much because I didn’t want to cause arguments and tried to make things easy for you! RME (Roll my eyes), you taught me valuable lessons, and I won’t make the same mistakes again, so that’s all I can thank you for. I wish you the best in life…

30 Letters of Summer : Day 6 - A Stranger

Dear Stranger,
You captivated me from the moment I saw you. You looked like a superstar, well actually more like a footballer, but even still you had it going on. I used to look forward getting on to the "279" bus in the morning, in hope that I would see you and I usually did, and we’d have intense eye convo’s and smile at each other lol. I wish I had the courage to talk to you, but you left me speechless, at the time I was just beginning to feel genuinely confident within myself, and I wasn’t quite ready to approach you. But now I wish had approached you, because who knows, we might’ve hit it off and maybe we wouldn’t but least I’d know. The last time I saw you, I was very surprised because I’d just moved from Tottenham to a new area, and there you was getting on my bus in my new area, and I’d thought you lived in Tottenham the whole time, obviously not lol. It kind of felt like fate, but I didn’t take the risk of just saying “Hi”, and boy I wish I did. Well I hope you’re doing well and I wish you the best, stranger.

Love,
LaCara

30 Letters of Summer : Day 5 - Your Dreams

Dear Dreams,


You’ve haven’t really changed over the years, my main dream is to be successful, and that will never change. I’m trying to aspire to something greater and better for myself, and while I believe in you, it’s also up to God, as it’s in his hands and on his time. You give me the strength to strive and continue on this journey, where it ends I don’t know, but so far although it’s been a challenge I have achieved a lot in a short amount of time, and I hope it continues. I kind of get lost in you, so much that sometimes my mind speeds up to the future that I forget the present, but I’m working on that. Lately I have been taking each day as it comes, and taking it easy, I try and remind myself to take everything in around me and cherish it. Since starting this blog, my dream for it is to be a place where people can find inspiration and give me inspiration. I want it to be a place where people feel welcomed and can talk to me, if that happens, then I know I’ve achieved something. I believe in you because, you are me, and if I can’t believe in my dreams, who will believe in me? You keep me focused and allow me to see the bigger picture, and each day I take a step closer to you. One day all my dreams will come true, and I’ll remember how long it took me to achieve them and how hard I worked for them, so until that day comes, you’ll be on my mind everyday.


Love,


LaCara

30 Letters of Summer : Day 4 - Your Sibling (or closest relative)

Dear Lawrence and Lianna,
We’re kind of stuck together, as we are siblings. Now while I may not like you both, I certainly do love you LOL. We’ve had our good and bad times, but we’ve grown closer over the years, so my tolerance for you both has grown (I tease!!). We have a lot in common, for instance we all want mama to ourselves (I’m the favourite LOL :P :P), but we’ve learnt to share over the years lol, so I guess I’ll tell you what I think….


Lawrence, we was born on the same day, but different year, which makes us special. Although we clash sometimes, I look up to you, you’re my big brother; you’re the one I run to if I’m in need, and you’re always there with your arms wide open, so thank you. Now at times you can be a pain in the side, and not to mention you act like the friggin “Food Police”, which I shall never forgive you for LOL! You wouldn’t allow me to eat what I wanted to eat, which was very controlling, and you of all people should know I do not take kindly to being controlled, however, I know you have my best interests at heart, it’s how you approach certain things that ticks me off LOL! But at the end of the day, we have a special bond, and it’s an honour to share a special day with you. I love your hilarious mishaps and stories, I can always get a good laugh with you. You were the one who gave me the love of anime and anything to do with martial arts. You’ve sacrificed a lot for us, and you had to be the man of the house at a young age, which was difficult, but it’s only made you stronger, and I know you’re going to be an amazing father one day! Thank you for being so supportive and patient, I love you and you’re the best brother a girl could ask for!! I wish you love and happiness, and I can’t wait to see you!




Lianna, we fought like cats and dogs when we was younger (not to mention you tried to kill me!! ¬-¬), but we’ve outgrown our childish ways (I think) LOL! Coming over to England has benefited us, we’re so close now and I appreciate our bond that we have now. Believe it or not, I do look up to you, so when I ask your advice, I genuinely want to know what you think and what you have to say. You’re funny and I love it when we can share a laugh together, I think it brings us closer. Our relationship can be quite volatile at times, but at the end of the day we’re sisters and that won’t change. I love it when we’re sarcastic with each other, I find it highly amusing and entertaining. I want the best for you, and sometimes I don’t agree with your decisions but never the less I will support you regardless, because I love you. We’re not only sisters, but we’ve become friends and that means a lot to me. I can talk to you, (well more like me rambling and you just sit there pretending to listen lol), but that’s okay, because sometimes that’s all I need. I wish you nothing but love and happiness, (don’t get emotional :P)


We got a good thing going, I love all of you! You’re the best family ever, and while we might be separated, we’re still close. While we might be dysfunctional, it works for us lol, so I wouldn’t change a thing, we’re all good!


Love,


LaCara

30 Letters of Summer : Day 3 - Your Parent

Dear Mama,

I am your daughter, I look like you and I act like you! I guess you really did claim me lol. For 18 years, you’ve struggled being a single parent, you struggled to continue living and be strong. But mama when I look at you, I see strength, I see unconditional love, and I see perseverance. You’ve worked so hard to give us so much, and at times I don’t always appreciate it, but I love you! My pride for you is eternal, I am proud to call you my mama, and I’m proud to be your daughter. You’ve given me so much, you gave me your intelligence, your feisty attitude, and your wisdom. So thank you for these valuable qualities. Mama when I become successful, I’m gonna send you on a permanent holiday, after all you’ve been through you deserve a rest and so much more. When I was younger, I didn’t understand why you had to work so hard, but now I realised if you didn’t I wouldn’t be where I am today. You’ve sacrificed so much for me, and I don’t know how I could repay you for all that you’ve done. We weren’t close when I was young, but as I matured I started to value the time we’ve spent together. I love our philosophical conversations, I love our witty banter, and I love our heart-to-hearts. I love it when you laugh, because that way I know you’re not too sad, which is why I try and make it my daily mission to make you laugh. You don’t voice how you truly feel sometimes, and I know you’re crying on the inside, but mama, I promise better days are gonna come. If I had a magic wand, I would wave away all your pain and frustrations, and grant you nothing but happiness and love. I wish you wouldn’t dwell on the past, but I know that’s easier said than done, I wish you would see how far you’ve come and grown, instead of seeing what you didn’t achieve; because mama you’ve achieved so much! I’m sorry that I sometimes snap at you, or make you angry, I don’t mean it, I love you with all my heart. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be the strong woman I am today, you’ve raised me well, and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world. I love you mama.
Love,
LaCara

30 Letters of Summer : Day 2 - Your Crush

Dear R.B,

You were officially my most recent “crush”, and to be honest that’s all you’ll ever be to me. I find you extremely attractive, but that's it. We've never actually had a genuine conversation, the only thing we could talk about was football, and most of the time I had no clue what you was talking about ; which is quite unfortunate, because you are really hot. There was no substance to you, you didn’t stimulate me mentally, as much as I wished you did, you didn’t. Although we didn’t have any serious talks, the time we did spend together was great lol! I love how compassionate you were, you stick up for people who are quite vulnerable, which is an amazing quality of yours. I remember when your friend made fun of me because of my size ( this was before we even spoke), yet you stood up for me, so thank you! I love the colour of your eyes, they are a tender hazel green, you have kind eyes. What I found most attractive about you is your cheeky grin, it caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach. I really enjoyed flirting with you, I think that’s what kept me interested in you. If I had the chance, I would’ve liked to get to know you better. I think you are a nice person, but easily led. I really don’t know what else to say but good luck and I wish you the best in life.


Love,
LaCara

30 Letters of Summer : Day 1 - Your Best Friend

Dear Sanel and Sultana,

My sweet Cileks, you have no idea how I love you! I never thought I’d ever have genuine friends, then you two came along. Meeting you both for the first time, I didn’t expect us to become what we are today. I started with one sister, now I have three! You both bring me so much joy and laughter. You are my family, and I can’t imagine my life without you. We’ve had so many good times, and we are really good together! We’ve formed something so special, it feels like our own little club, well actually we do have our own club (The Bliss Club, duhhh LaCara! LOL). You both bring something different to our “club”.


Mama Sanel, your witty remarks and sarcastic one-liners never fail to make me laugh! I love how creative and compassionate you are. You are so wise and kind, and what more can I say? You’re amazing! When I first met you, you was so quiet (or so I thought) and shy (I was definitely wrong). Then BAM out of no where, you came alive, like a white and black cartoon that finally got coloured in LOL! I was blown away by your banging personality. You’re so strong, and your strength pushes me to be strong too. With your “Italian - Vampire Mafia” I’m complied to compliment you, LOL (I tease)! I can actually hear you say “Yeah you better init!”. Oh Bella, I seriously would be very sad if I ever lost you! I wish you nothing but success, love and happiness, because you deserve it! Although I wish you’d take back your insomnia, because I haven’t slept a bloody wink coz of you mate! ( Cockney Accent lol! :P )


Mama Sultana, you are my bring me never ending laughter! You are so funny, sometimes I don’t think you’re aware of  how funny you are, the jokes you give me are priceless! You’re so intelligent and bright, I can literally talk to you about anything and everything! I love who you are, you’re definitely a star! When I first met you, you intimidated the hell outta me! Especially when you said I talked too much ¬_¬ LOL! Then when I started getting to know you, I knew you was a keeper. With your hilarious tales of your brothers, and daily public transport hassles, how can I not love you! What I admire the most about you is your maturity and elegance, (with your 5inch heels), you’ve been through a lot with the “Incest Twins” (LOOL), but you came out on top, because you didn’t stoop to their level, which takes a lot of strength and discipline, so you go girlfriend! If I lost you, I would be very sad, I really can’t imagine you gone from my life! I wish you nothing but success, love, and happiness sweetie!


You both are my sunshine, and I don’t know how many times I can say that I love you both! We’ve had so many jokes, and I can honestly say we have never had a fallen out (knock on wood)! I can be honest with you both, which means a lot to me, because in my past “friendships” I did feel very restrictive which caused me to leave the friendship silently. But with you two, ya’ll are stuck with me until they day we get old!




I love you, Te Quiero, Seni Seviyorum, Ami Tomake Bhalobashi

"Perfection" in a Imperfect World....

In today's society, many people are chasing the impossible; perfection. Everyone is flawed, fat or skinny, tall or short etc, everyone has imperfections. No one is perfect, and that's the beauty of imperfection, because if everyone was perfect, this world would be one boring place. If everyone looked the same, talked the same way, dressed the same way, how would we grow as individuals?


With society's mounting pressures to be "perfect" it's no surprise that so many women (and men) have complexes about who they are and what they look like. And it's not only your average day women who are buckling under the pressure from the mainstream media, look at how many celebrities ( Tori Spelling, Nicole Richie, Mary Kate Olsen, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Victoria Beckham, Paula Abdul, the list could go on) who've developed eating disorders, and starved themselves to fit the standards of the mainstream media.


It's a no wonder why so many women, particularly American women, think they're overweight (even though they may be an average size) compared to those they see on the television and in the magazines. Women aren't the only ones striving to be "perfect", men have increasingly become more body aware, but instead of starving themselves, they work out excessively to get rid of calories, which is also known as "exercise bulimia".


The mainstream media doesn't seem to be aware of the damage and influence they have on women, (especially teenage girls), and if they do, they don't care as they continue to tell us that "size 0" is the only way to be perfect. What's alarming is that many people believe the media's propaganda, for instance when supermodel Kate Moss said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", it became a slogan for pro-anorexia websites, and more recently Urban Outfitters came out with a t-shirt saying "Eat Less", the media is promoting something that is far from "perfect", they are promoting unhealthy views that are causing serious health problems and concerns.



Urban Outfitters "Eat Less" t-shirt



I was inspired to write this post after watching this video, please watch it :


(I know you've probably seen this video around, but I believe in it's message and I wanted to share it again)


No one is perfect, not myself or anyone else. We are all unique, everyone has a different body, so instead of abusing it, embrace it; because it is the only body you have. We need to stop looking to the media or society for acceptance, we need to accept and love ourselves, that is the most important thing. We need to stop trying to fit the standards of society and fit our own standards. We are imperfect and that is what I love most about the world, everyone is completely different. I think diversity is a beautiful thing, and instead of trying to be alike we should accept that everyone is different, and that is something I wouldn't want to change for anything.

Inspiration : Jill Scott

Jill Scott, is hands down one of my favorite artist, to her music, to her poetry, to her acting; she is one of the most talented individuals in the entertainment industry. With her sultry voice and voluptuous figure, she is a true inspiration to me. She has made a name for herself in the infamous "skinny" Hollywood, and keeps going from strength to strength. She recently was featured in "Why Did I Get Married Too" the sequel of "Why Did I Get Married", and did an outstanding performance. What I admire the most about Ms. Scott is that she stays true to who she is, she embraces her curves and is happy with herself. She proves that no matter what your size you can be happy and successful.



Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Oh good news, I will soon be having regular OOTD's, I've found a "photographer" who is willing to shoot me (for free of course!), so I'm really excited to get the ball rolling :D

God Bless,

Love,
LaCara

Fat is just a word....

Ever heard "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you"?
Well I used to disagree with that. Growing up as an overweight child, words definitely hurt me, especially the three letter word, "fat". It always felt like a slap in the face every time I heard that word, because apparently being "fat" was bad and undesirable. Now that I'm older I've learnt that, "Fat" is just a word :




Definition of Fat: having an (over)abundance of flesh.




"Fat" doesn't define who we are as a person, nor does it represent who we are, it is just a word. I am no longer hurt by the word, I don't cringe with painful embarrassment and I no longer feel outraged when someone calls me fat, it's a descriptive word, it just describes my appearance and nothing more. My appearance does not define me as a person, my appearance is just the surface of who I am. "Fat" is no longer a bad word to me, I embrace it because I have claimed it back, it's not all the negative things you see and hear in the mainstream media. As I believe in the "Fat Acceptance Movement", I have to accept the word, because I've been haunted long enough by it, it doesn't scare me anymore, and it doesn't affect my mood like it used too. I am comfortable with who I am and my appearance, fat rolls and all lol.




God Bless,

DollyMixx : My First Review

Hello dolls, I hope all of you are well! Thank goodness it's Friday! :D
So yesterday I received my prizes from the lovely Georgina of Cupcake's Clothes and it got here super fast, she posted it out on Tuesday, (as Monday was Bank holiday Monday). So it got here within two days and that is really good. The box was super cute, it had all these gorgeous little decorations and I didn't want to damage the box, so I was really careful when I opened it. I won 3 hair accessories, a bracelet, and a ring.




For those of you who didn't know, Georgina is the owner and creator of Dollymixx, which provides "a eclectic selection of fun jewellery and accessories." Her pieces are inspired by :  

"Asian influences, and a love of food. Dolly Mixx aims to combine the two to create unique jewellery that you will love wearing!"

And oh how I love my new goodies! I am absolutely head over heels in love with my new ring, it is to cute! The only thing I would say is, while the ring is adjustable the metal is quite sharp so when you adjust it, the ring nips at your finger a little bit, other than that the ring is fabulous. Now I was quite sceptical about the bracelet fitting, because it looked tiny but to my surprise it fit and looks quite nice on me. The charms are delightful, there is even one heart charm that opens. The hair accessories are very girlie which I like, and I'll definitely be using them quite soon. I am definitely going to buy some of Georgina’s pieces they are of high quality at affordable prices, so go check out her website you won't be disappointed.
