My second destination in Thailand on my winter holiday was Phuket -- a city I've only ever dreamed about or caught glimpses of in Leonardo DiCaprio movies. Coming to a tropical climate was the perfect escape from New York's brutal winter, and I can't think of a better place to shed my warm, wooly layers and soak in some much needed Vitamin D. I feel so lucky to have had this escape; I was leaving behind a lot of turmoil and chaos in New York... Something I've debated writing about here. It's hard to know where the line should be kept between personal and public with a platform like this, but suffice to say: love is hard. The change of scenery has done me really, really well...!
And, it seems that my underarm prep (with help from Dove
gosleeveless Soothing Chamomile Deodorant), has really paid off - especially in this warmer climate where sleeves and layers are practically verboten! According to the good people at Dove,
78% of women maintain or increase their underarm care habits in the fall and winter -- something I know to be true of myself, since the cold, dry weather in the Northeast parches my skin everywhere on my body, without discrimination. Honestly, before starting this project with Dove, I hadn't even given much thought to the care that goes into my underarms because it has become so compulsory and second nature -- and I've been a fan of their products for their
Dove 1/4 moisturizers for years. The new gosleeveless product just takes it a step further. It keeps my sweat away while still moisturizing, and leaves an invisible finish -- all things that are pretty essential whether I'm sleeveless by necessity here in Thailand or getting rid of a few layers at my New Years Eve festivities when I'm back in NYC!
This post is part two of two of a series sponsored by Dove.
Love the color of that bag and your photos!
ReplyDeleteI love your Dorothy Perkins top.

ReplyDeleteoh no! i really appreciate you pointing this out because it was honestly just a matter of human error. i edited the copy and added images (the second batch of photos) before posting, and the disclosure fell off. this was part 2 of a series and i had fully disclosed on the first one, and did the same for this -- before the edit where, apparently, i let it run off without catching it. it's added back in! thank you!

ReplyDeleteIt was an honest mistake. I'll work on clarifying the language further first thing in the morning. I honestly do appreciate the feedback.
ReplyDeleteLoving your style. All of it. Keep up the awesome blog. I long to be a good blog writer, some people just don't have it I guess:)

I saw your column in Marie Clarie and had to check out your blog. You have wonderful taste and take beautiful photographs. I am glad you representing fashionable larger ladies. However, I would also hope to see some health/fitness related posts that encourage bigger women to stay healthy and fit (IE inspirational posts about food to eat and work outs to try that arent super hard on the joints, etc). I am all for body acceptance seeing that I have struggled with weight issues due to hypothyroidism but I also wish there was more awareness on blogs about how unhealthy and life threatening it can be in the long run to be overweight, especially in the middle area. It would be awesome to see you a health-fitness related post sometime. XO
ReplyDeleteDear Katharine: jeez louise, stop with the concern trolling already! Nicolette is gorgeous and amazing, can you not just leave it at that, without having to--in an atrociously misinformed way--spread fear and hate of fat people? Your information, Katharine, is dead wrong: it's not unhealthy and life threatening to be overweight. Over a hundred studies just proved it, it's a major news story just THIS WEEK--here is the link:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cnn.com/2013/01/02/health/overweight-mortality/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_living+%28RSS%3A+Living%29
Please get a copy of Health at Every Size and stop spreading more hate for fat people under the guise of "health concerns."
Yours truly
Magnificent
I assumed that since this was about Dove, it was just part 2 of her series. ;)
ReplyDeleteNicolette, you look amazing! Now I want to go to Thailand!
Thanks for your reply and link. I didn't mean to insult anyone, especially not Nicolette. I agree that she is gorgeous and amazing. I am merely suggesting that it would be nice to see a post on fitness/health on a popular blog such as this CONSIDERING the negative connotations associated with being overweight - IE popular belief that individuals who are overweight do not work out nor eat healthy. it would also be nice to see what Nicolette does in this department as a form of INSPIRATION not hate. I noticed the CNN article stated that being overweight has been shown to be okay but not obese. There are different factors that determine whether someone is simply overweight (which I have no problem with concerning I am 15 pounds overweight) and obese which has been proven countless times over the years to be unhealthy. Secondly you're the one calling overweight people "FAT". the word itself has so much hate attached to it. Please consider my opinion as I have concerned yours.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to travel so badly...I hope I can one day...the last rock looks like a camel!
ReplyDeleteHowdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the
ReplyDeletenear future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I
had to ask!
