IM SICK AGAIN. ☹️😫😷 I’ve been sick since Wednesday. Bad cold, bad coughing especially last night. Feels like every time I fight off one thing another thing pops up. At least it’s not Strep this time? Ugh. Feeling oily in the face but at least I washed my hair yesterday! 😵 And since I don’t often post a selfie without makeup & whatnot, figured Why Not Now. #itsthelittlethings #sicksatchmo #solosatchmo #sickdays #sickandtiredofbeingsick

I’ve been watching too many makeup videos on YouTube 😂 or maybe just enough?! Fun experiments included here for tomorrow ‘s look...learned some things and happy with the new products I bought so far!👌👏 #nofilter Just weird lighting in my apartment 😝 #makeupexperiment #makeup #practicemakes #metallicmagic #solosatchmo #partyprep #happynyealmost

(From 11/4) First of all, I thought I wanted a salad but in the end I mostly wanted a bunch of finely sliced up raw beets. 😂 also, finish the steak with Butter Rosemary and Garlic! Mostly butter! 😍👅👏🎉 I gotta have some mealtime guests one of these days... . . . #latergram #satchmocooks #brunchofchampions #solosatchmo #foodlove #steakandeggs #bigsalad #flavortown #crispyherbs

From last weekend...fun outfit for roaming the last Milwaukie farmers market and having a chill-ass day. Shirt & sweater from @maurices, pants from a discount dance store (2+ years ago, forget which) scarf from my Gran! 😎❤️ #satchmostyle #weekendwandering #redlips #redhair #flowerprint #solosatchmo #holopants

The power keeps shutting off intermittently (the whole building and neighborhood at least, probably more elsewhere??), so to keep from jumping out of my skin every time (afraid-of-the-dark WHO?!) I’ve unplugged most things and turned all the lights off preemptively, then went around making sure there’s enough candles to find my way through the apt. Time for a candlelit bath I suppose! Easiest room to keep well lit. And I’m a little too freaked to go to sleep right at the moment... 😬🙀 #tealightsinbulk #ineedbettercandles #morelight #windynightiguess #solosatchmo

Not gonna let a little bloated-feeling keep me from wearing the dress that fits like a sexy hug. I'm just not. 😮😎👏 also I need a better way to take pics here 📷🙃 . . . #solosatchmo #ootd #vbo #thisishappening #andihavenobackup! #firsttimeforeverything #bodycondress #fatandfabulous

Who made tasty tomato cause from scratch sans recipe?!? Had some beautiful long, pale paste tomatoes (looked like red/yellow peppers on the outside) from the farmers market that I've been planning to use for this! I can't believe I haven't done this in FOREVER. I like recipes but sometimes they stress me out if I don't have the "right" ingredients...so I just slap some things together, include garlic, and it had worked pretty well so far 🤤😁 #yum #tomatosauce #satchmocooks #solosatchmo #bombassleftovers #lateandgreat

Perfect evening. Delicious meal with fresh produce, delicious beverages, beautiful view and re-watching a favorite show. While I am excited to have a roommate--and I would also love having friend dinner guests!-- I hope I will still have occasional solo nights like this. Feels amazing. #solosatchmo #perfectsolitude #alonetime #treatyoself

That’s what is UP my fellow humans! And for that matter, so do ALL Y’ALL! . I’ve been very lucky and rewarded in my life lately-all of it the product of some kind of work over the last 27 years or so-and I was feeling sad?? Somehow?? Even though life is amazing?? And then it hit me. Part of me, for a variety of BS reasons that don’t come FROM ME, still didn’t think I deserved it. Well that’s CRAP. And after some good chats with seester and friends, and feeling inspired by having finally finished the last half of @themilitantbaker’s book Things No One Tells Fat Girls (big rec if you are looking for your next book) I decided to try out some affirmation goodness. . Plus I always wanted to write on a mirror in lipstick. And this is the first red that I found that Looked Red on me! It’s too old to wear so it’s been repurposed ❤️ #selflove #positiveaffirmation #solosatchmo #ideservehappiness #youdeservehappiness #positivityvibes #getit #redlipstick
