Ignore them. Seriously. The self-loathing that comes from these comparisons and thoughts are nowhere near worth the damage they can do. -Olive

I (DukesDuchess) am currently working toward a foster to adopt situation. I need all the crafty, simplifying, life-saving tips you’ve got! No matter the topic! If it’s about parenting lay it on me! And I’m sure some other Mama’s would love to see our different pieces of advice too :]

TW: eating disorder
There are worse things you can take to heart than being called fat or chubby. Do you know why? Because being fat or chubby isn’t wrong. It isn’t bad. I’ve got a double chin. I’ve got big ol’ thunder thighs, too. And I’ve got a nice big belly to go with the both of those. I couldn’t possibly care less. It’s taken me years to be okay with that. It’s taken me an eating disorder to be okay with that. And it’s taken me an exercise addiction on top of that, to be okay with that. Your only competitor is yourself. The only person whose opinion should matter, is your own. People like to assume that because a girl is fat that she’s got low self esteem because of it. That she should be pitied. That a fat girl couldn’t possibly think she was attractive, or beautiful, or confident because of her weight. Now, some of us aren’t confident because of it. But why shouldn’t you be? Your weight doesn’t, and will never, define who you are or your worth as a human being. Love your body, regardless of how it looks: fat, lumpy, riddled with stretch marks, wrinkles, love handles. Love it. Recognize it for what it is, and for what you are. Because no matter what you look like, no matter what your size—I can guarantee you that you are beautiful.

My hair hates curl, any kind of heated curl simply falls lifeless after a few hours (if not in a single hour. *sigh* ) While on Pinterest I discovered this little secret and repinned it eager to try, I have to say it’s turned out beautifully. Through the day (it is now nearly 5pm) the curls have loosened but have still held a wonderful spiral to them - I’m pleased!
What kind of person would I be if I didn’t share this secret with the world? And lucky for you I am not that person! So here it is world:

My tips -
Make sure your hair is dry. One side felt slightly more damp and it didn’t curl as well, it wasn’t as major of an issue for myself as I tend to sweep my hair over my shoulder anyhow.
Loop them larger for the curls not to be so tight (though you’ll end up looking like Princess Leia for the night)
Don’t twist the last bit, keep curling it around the headband.
