Today, I would like to address the two main questions I get from you guys. The first is “where to buy plus size rompers and jumpsuits?”.

Best Plus Size Workout Clothes and Activewear

After the holidays, I remembered that I had not hit the gym within the last three weeks. Say what? You and I both know that it can be tough to be motivated to hit the gym during the holidays. Come to think of it the weather has not been great either. I am still feeling a little guilty to have fallen off the wagon. Until now, I’ve been able to maintain my routine even if it was for 30 minutes a day.I try not to be hard on myself. Besides, I did a lot of walking at the mall hunting for gifts. The Gear Fit 2 from Samsung also helped me stay on top of all my activities ( more on that below) Read More »
