While I am not quite plus size, I could not agree with you more. It's a huge hole in the fashion industry right now. I watch a lot of plus sized fashion you tube channels because I feel like a lot of the advice is applicable to me with having some harder- to - fit parts. Most of the stunning looking/ well made plus clothing is $$$. It's harder to get away with something that is cheaply made when you have a larger frame because I find myself constantly worried I will bust a seam. The plus sized industry also tends to design for the "ideal" plus sized shape-flat middle with large chest and rounded hips- which is also the way that most plus sized models are shaped. Not a UO, just an observation. I hate how the plus shirts are so boxy. Not all plus size means that their stomach is wide. I want a shirt that is long not wide or the more recent trends that are either very loose/very boxy, or super tight/body conscious. I want something that lays nicely, without clinging to problem areas, while still showing I have a figure. tighter waist with draped fabric wins for me every time, and apparently that's no longer in.

When I walk into Sephora they know. I’m like their fragile prey. Lol, and I have never set foot in a Sephora. But, I get that hunger in my eyes at a Barnes & Noble and Home Goods.

I'm no longer allowed to wear contacts because of how poorly I maintained them in my 20s. So yeah, don't sleep in your contacts! Craig Melvin has a corneal ulcer from sleeping in his contacts I had to look up who that is. I luckily never got anything like that, but my eyes are so dry now that they can't handle contacts for more than a few hours. My eye dr. won't even prescribe contacts anymore so I have embraced the glasses only life.

I also need toric contacts and those things aren’t cheap. Even at Costco. So whenever I run out, I beg and plea for a free sample while next paycheck gets here and I can buy 6 month supply. I will admit I wear 1 month contacts for like 2 months or until they rip. I’m not contact rich. I have to wear dailies and I die at the cost every year. $500!!!!! I want to get lasik so I don't have to pay that but that's extra money I don't have.

I agree with you. I have these talks with myself too, and I appreciate the kick in the ass. Like, I know I’ll take them out tonight now but I’m so bad at being consistent. Don't they get all fucked up this way? Like my eyeballs hurt after wearing my contacts all day. It feels good to take them out. pre-lasik, the best part of my day was taking them out.

I use flat sheet and duvet and I do wash weekly. I change the flat sheet more often depending if my sweaty ass husband ruined it. I’m doIng the most I see. But I also do my bed everyday. Same. There is nothing better than that feeling when you crawl into a made bed at the end of the day. I actually didn't make my bed this morning and I feel like nothing else I do today matters. Add freshly washed sheets to the mix and it's absolute heaven

I will splurge on shoes though. Splurge in relation to my finances. I love a good comfortable shoe. Same with C I’ll buy her “good shoes” So her footies are comfortable and last a while. Yep here too. I've said it before that we used to take a lot of flak and still do some with the fact that our dd wears Nike almost exclusively for her tennis shoes, but I would much rather pay $60 for her shoes to last and be good to her feet. Yeah. Actually one time I went to the park with a friend and her daughter got angry blisters from her sandals. I don’t know where she got them. I try to get her good pairs of shoes. They aren’t expensive or anything. I mainly look at how the sole and main structure is. I’ll buy 1 pair of neutral color sandals and tennis shoes she can wear for her current size. I don’t buy her a ton of shoes. Right now. She switches between 3 shoes.

I tried a different brand once and those fuckers were thick, but I use Acuvue Oasis and I feel nothing ever.

My mom had to get cysts scrapped off of her cornea due to decades of contact wear.
Glasses forever and ever Amen.

Me too....but, I was spending twice as much with the 2 week contacts because I kept running out early cause they were so uncomfortable. The thought of Lasik makes my skin crawl, so unless they can put me under general, I'm a slave to 1-800-contacts

The sleep training comment reminded me that I get annoyed when people ask for advice and then have a reason why all the advice is wrong and can't help them.

I wore my contacts too much (including overnight while I was in high school). My eye doctor said that the blood vessels were growing because they were trying to get more oxygen to my eyes. Seeing pictures of what it would look like if it continued made me switch to wearing my glasses more. I mainly only wear contacts on weekends if we are going out. But because of that, I switched to dailies. So comfortable

I don’t know. I also feel like the technology with contacts was different back then than now. So I can see people who wore contacts back in tne dah might have gotten bad stuff happen to them.
I also look at it that those incidents don’t happen to everyone. It doesn’t really deter me from continuining to wear contacts.

My only experience with luxury SUVs is my friends recently bought an Audi SUV because they are looking to have kids relatively soon and it had spacious trunk space with 3 rows of seats and could fit all the baby gear yada, yada. The looks on their faces when they realized DDs stroller didn't fit in the trunk with the 3 row of seats up was priceless. If they have zero kids right now, they will find they will flip that 3rd row up maybe 1x a year, if that. At least I did. Yup!!

Don't they get all fucked up this way? Like my eyeballs hurt after wearing my contacts all day. It feels good to take them out. you probably need something else brandwise. I wear Biofinity contacts, which are really good. But I typically put them in around 5:30 a.m. and take them out about 10:00 p.m., which is a long time no matter what brand. I shouldn't say my eyeballs HURT, they just start to feel dry, more like it.
