Hi everyone! 2020 has been totally crazy on everyone, and especially when it fell on Raya Aidilfitri and Raya Haji, we feel like our gorgeous outfits did not see enough of the light of day due to the quarantine and social-distancing. Therefore, we have given our team a challenge to re-wear their festive-wear pieces by pairing it with more toned down or casual pieces. What do you think? Will you be doing the same?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The concept of re-wear is very simple, really. You can choose an item of clothing and pair it with something basic - like your favourite pair of jeans, your classic black pants, a basic tee or with a jacket.<br />
<br />

Above, Vivian restyled the checkered skirt from our baju kurung set, and wore it as a slimming work wear. With the added belt detail, this look is not only professional, but also flattering to give an illusion of an hourglass figure. She also slightly shortened the length of the skirt and turn into a midi skirt which gives her a younger and trendier vibe.<br />

Next, we have Azwa wearing our full checkered kurung set from our Harmoni Collection. Paired with a classic pair of Converse shoes, she looks like the stylish hijabsters, young and fun! For wearing it for work, she paired the top with a pair of black skinny jeans and a long blazer (<a href="https://www.misclaire.com/view-plussize-clothes.php?pcode=MCKN1346-01&eshop=Leanne%20Premium%20Material%20Long%20Work%20Blazer%20-%20Black" target="_blank">Leanne Professional Blazer, available on our website www.misclaire.com</a>) and voila!<br />

Here is Karen's favourite top from the Haji Collection - a chiffon blouse that is easy to dress up or down. She pairs it with jeggings and extra wide ballerina flats (coming soon to Mis Claire!). It's roomy and perfect for working in comfort. <a href="https://www.misclaire.com/plussize-clothes-online-shopping.php?txtSearch=kekupu" target="_blank">Shop Kekupu Blouse at <span style="color: blue;">www.misclaire.com</span></a><br />

Fear that after the festivities are over, you can't wear glitter anymore? Do what Vivian does! Pairing the glitter top with a pair of black pants (here, she is wearing capris), and you are ready for a night out with the family!<br />

Since many of us have decluttered our homes during MCO, let's do some repurposing and recycling! Instead of throwing out old magazines and materials, let's turn them into beautiful Raya decorations!<br />
<a name='more'></a>Here are some ideas that you can do, or let the younger family members do.<br />
<br />
Beginner Level: Anyaman (Weaving); just weave and create the ketupat shape that you want. Cut strips from your old magazines, colourful paper or gift-wrapping paper. Be as creative as you want!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rendang is piece of meat (most commonly beef) slow cooked and braised in coconut milk and spice mixture, well until the liquids evaporates and the meat turns dark brown, tender, caramelized, infused with rich spices. This combination with lemang is a total win! It does not look appealing, but this is a very well-loved dish among locals.</span><br />

Hi everyone, since we are in lock-down during Ramadan season (and most definitely throughout Raya), let's take this chance to learn some new skills making easy cookies and cakes! Even though Raya will be different this year, we still want to to celebrate it no matter what. Since not everyone is good at baking or cooking, I want to share with you some of the easiest recipes to try at home!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. Butter Cookies<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6ZficVJTQdM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6ZficVJTQdM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
This one is easy, and you can decorate it however you like!<br />
<br />
2. Oreo Cake<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PZSPhs09OrI/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PZSPhs09OrI?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
This is actually two ingredients, but I will suggest you to grate cheddar cheese on top of it. That's 3 ingredients. Also you can substitute the milk with chocolate milk... yum!<br />
<br />
3. Kek Viral Milo<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q7arjdJ74fw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q7arjdJ74fw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
Ok I have actually made this twice during MCO, and even my husband who does not like cakes, tried this and loved it. So simple and delicious!<br />
<br />
4. Biskut Semperit<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2GICl_jS1mU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2GICl_jS1mU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
This has only 3 ingredients, and she gives very handy hacks and tips on how to do it right.<br />

Mis Claire understands all too well that kids can drive you crazy, especially when stuck at home 24/7 for a month! They don't have school or anything else outside, and you can't seem to find a second to breathe. Fret not, we have compile some tips from the working mothers in our team (and from our friends, too) and we are here to share them with you.<br />

<b>Start with yourself.</b><br />
<br />
One of the best advice that I have heard is "Take care of yourself first, before you can take care of anyone else." Oh how true that is, and how easily forgotten. Make sure you can get as much rest as you need, eat well (with good nutrition) and be active. Take care of your mind and spirit too. Start the day with some prayers or meditation, and find things to laugh about. Pray for strength to go through each day, and pat yourself on the back for doing a great job. Be thankful and count your blessings that you and your family are well.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Create an easy routine for your children, and spot the "quiet" times.</b><br />
<br />
You will know what your kids routines are - from the time they usually wake up until the time they go to sleep. You need to work around this time. Figure out when are the quiet hours to do your own thing. Some of our friends wake up really early, or some work late into the night - some will work during the one hour when their kids are taking their afternoon nap. Figure out what works best for you and utilize the quiet time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Make sure they are "prepped" before you start any tasks.</b><br />
<br />
Make sure they are bathed, fed and have everything they need. A good idea is to prepare some healthy snacks and drinks somewhere they can reach, so that they do not keep asking you for food.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Delegate (if you have people around you).</b><br />
<br />
Ask for help when needed - we can't survive alone. Ask your husband, grandparents or older children (you can pay them to babysit) to take one session a day to entertain the kids. And then keep yourself out of sight for those hours.<br />
<br />
<b>Have an emergency plan.</b><br />
<br />
Sometimes when you are overwhelmed, you just need to take a time out before you explode. Give them something engaging, but just for a limited time so that you can take a breather. You may use this as a reward and punishment system to promote good behavior.<br />
<br />

<b>Cut yourself some slack.</b><br />
<br />
You have done your best, and we know it's not easy. Nothing has to be perfect, the house can be messy and you might have lost your temper. Know that you did your best and be proud of yourself. Be happy with your family in all your imperfections.<br />

Due to the current COVID-10 pandemic, there are more people now than ever working from home, globally. Some do not have a choice but to make do with this new lifestyle, at least for a few months.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
In Malaysia, working from home is not yet a very common occurrence as most place of employment would prefer their staff to be in the office, in the flesh. So, you might not be prepared for working from home. We have compiled a list of helpful tips, that will be more applicable to our local lifestyle as a few of our staff members do work from home quite regularly, pre-pandemic.<br />
<br />
(take note that these tips can vary according to your current status: single, a mother with small children or living with people, so tweak as you need!)<br />

<b>1. Set up a place for your temporary home office.</b><br />
<br />
Find a conducive area in your house - preferable a proper table with a supportive chair. Try to avoid the temptation of working in bed or couch. If you have a spare room, clear it out as best as possible to make it your temporary office for the next few weeks. Ensure that you have all you need - your gadgets, work materials and a good internet connection. Tidy and organize your work space before you start. Also, get the temperature right - for me, I point a fan directly at me so that I won't get annoyed with being hot.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Eliminate all and potential distractions.</b><br />
<br />
If you don't need your phone for work, you can switch it off or put it in Airplane Mode. I find it helpful not to open up social media sites on my laptop screen, as I keep checking and getting distracted with useless information. If you live with people, let them know that you do not want to be disturbed for a certain amount of time. Set a timer if you need utmost concentration on your task.<br />

<b>3. Set a routine and plan your tasks for the day (or even the whole week).</b><br />
<br />
I would divide my day into three sections, two for work and one for non-work. You can customize to suit your lifestyle and work responsibilities (for example, if you are a mother, you might prefer to cook and clean in the morning, and then work late at night). The reason I do this is to trick my brain into thinking I am not stressed out and busy. Essentially, I only have 3 things to do, that's it. I plan these sections around my meal times, which are of course breakfast, lunch and dinner. Try not to multitask too much if you can help it, or else it will feel like you were busy doing a thousand things but not finishing any.<br />
<br />
(breakfast)<br />
MORNING - reply emails, proofread<br />
(lunch)<br />
AFTERNOON - write a blog post, edit photos<br />
(dinner)<br />
EVENING - (you can use this for non-work activities such as house chores, leisure, exercise, hobby)<br />
<br />
For me, I even plan the whole week so that I only focus on one thing per day.<br />

<b>4. Take care of your body.</b><br />
<br />
During this time of staying at home, we will be more sedentary. Schedule mini breaks to move around, drink lots of water, stretch and eat foods that make you feel healthy and not sluggish. It can be tempting to snack on chips and drink sugary drinks - but pay attention to how you feel after that. If you don't feel your best, rethink what you are putting into your body. Take your vitamins, and take deep breaths regularly. Also, house chores can be a great way to burn some calories and stay fit.<br />

<b>5. Take care of your mind and soul.</b><br />
<br />
If your job is stressful, take a moment to meditate or pray before you start the day. Maybe put a positive mantra where you can see it, on your screensaver or on the wall. Another important nugget of wisdom is to always <u>assume positive intent</u>. What does this mean? We are so used to talking and reading people's faces, that when you are working from home and isolated, sometimes an innocent reply can be misinterpreted as rude. Don't think into it, don't take it personally - assume the best. For your part, you can use more emoticons and emojis to get your vibe across clearly :)<br />

P.S.: And here is a special travel essential, for those who may be faced with the doom of having your period while traveling, this may save you a whole lot of stress! Leak-free panties help by having a film of protective layer that does not allow liquid to soak through. Wear this panties with your usual pads, tampons or other menstruation devices and you won't be worried about staining your pants or chairs.</div>

<a href="http://www.misclaire.com/"></a>So our team drove off to Melaka early one morning in our boss' car, consisting of models Vivian, Syasya and Eima - and two members of our Creative Team to shoot the video and also photos. They stayed in Muk by Victoria Home, and they loved the old-school charm yet modern minimalist design overall. Really cheap and super pleasant stay - they also provide free flow of simple breakfast!<br />

Before we start with the OOTDs, let's start with some food at Warung Roti Canai Kayu Arang Melaka. The team feasts on the signature dish - roti "doll" which is a must-eat when you are there! As you can see from the picture above, roti "doll" is roti banjir with telur goyang.<br />
<br />
Melaka is famous for their palm sugar (which you can guess by its name) Gula Melaka - and it is definitely something you must not miss while you are there. Google tells the team that Cendol Jam Besar is famous for their cendol, so they head on there to cool down with some sugary goodness.<br />

Welcome to the third and final series of the body shape posts! Like in one of the previous post, I mentioned the <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://plussize-misclaire.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-3-common-plus-size-malaysian-woman.html" target="_blank">3 common types of plus size shapes</a></span> that we can find in Malaysia. I will break down each of the body types and show examples of the best dressing for each, while explaining the logical reasoning for it. So get ready for a photo-heavy blog - all photos featured below are from <a href="http://www.misclaire.com/">www.misclaire.com</a> and you can click on them for links!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
In this post, we will only talk about the inverted triangle body shape, which is heavy at the top (shoulders are bigger, chest is heavier) and looks larger than your waist and hips. My aim in dressing is only to balance out the body by using logic.<br />
<br />
1. As how it was with the pear shape, now we draw the eyes downwards instead with prints and colors! Plus points for this look below because top is dark, and the pants is full with patterns and is in a wide leg cut!<br />

Welcome to the second series of the body shape posts! Like in one of the previous post, I mentioned the <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://plussize-misclaire.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-3-common-plus-size-malaysian-woman.html" target="_blank">3 common types of plus size shapes</a></span> that we can find in Malaysia. I will break down each of the body types and show examples of the best dressing for each, while explaining the logical reasoning for it. So get ready for a photo-heavy blog - all photos featured below are from <a href="http://www.misclaire.com/">www.misclaire.com</a> and you can click on them for links!<br />

In this post, we will only talk about the apple body shape, which is heavy in the center and round (or pretty straight without a defined waist but plus size) - your waist is larger (or about the same) in width and circumference than your bust and waist. My aim in dressing is only to balance out the body by using logic.<br />
<br />
1. For those with a waistline that is not significantly bigger than the bust and hips (meaning, almost straight or just slightly larger) - you can define the waistline to create an hourglass illusion. Try a wrap top or something that you can cinch.<br />

2. For those with a larger waist and round - you can work tunic tops to your benefit but highlight the smallest parts of your body (forearms or legs). A long top works really well.<br />

3. Is it also nice to find a top that hangs loose from the shoulders down, without any fabric clinging to the midsection.</div>

4. Lastly, this is an optical illusion. Wear a belt under an open outerwear. The visible part of the belt tricks the eye to think it is smaller than it is - in this case, it is the waistline!</div>

In this post, we will only talk about the pear body shape, which is bottom-heavy - your hips are larger in width and circumference than your bust and waist. My aim in dressing is only to balance out the body, but if you love your curves, by all means, flaunt it!<br />
<br />
1. Wear an eye-catching top to attract the eyes upwards and away from the hips, hence creating a more balanced figure. Here, this model is wearing a bright yellow floral top (the patterns are big which attracts the eye even more) and a well-fitted pair of plain pants.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Add bulk to the upper part of your body to balance out the bottom - this is perfect as the jacket is structured and bright in colour, compared to the skirt. The skirt is soft and flowy which does not hug the hips and create a vertical illusion with the lines caused by the draping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</tbody></table>
<br />
3. Find outerwear with structure (like shoulder pads) and maybe in a fun colour or print, and make sure they are not too long (best is fit they sit slightly above the hips). Below, model wears a simple black ensemble with a write structured blazer over it, which perfectly balances out the figure.<br />

4. Find a flattering hip first that doesn't hug or get stuck to your bottom half. A loose A-line skirt is perfect, but make sure the fabric is heavy enough to drape over your figure, or else it will bunch up and bring more attention to the hips.<br />

Dressing to your body type is all about creating a desired silhouette by using shapes, colors, highlighting, hiding, distractions, visual illusions, etc. Let's understand the general body types there are and how to balance them out.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
For this part, we will be covering just the middle section of the body - imagine that your body (without head and limbs) is broken into 3 parts which consist of your bust, waist and hips. Although I have included just 3 body types here, it is definitely not limited to that, or you might have a combo of two types. However, the rule of thumb is just to balance out the shape to create something as close as possible to an hourglass or a more well-balanced shape.<br />
<br />
BOTTOM HEAVY<br />
<br />
This is the most common body shape that we have seen with our customers, which is also know by most as a Pear Shape. It basically means that your hips are the largest part of your torso, with your bust and waist significantly smaller. Depending on personal taste, it can be a blessing or a curse. Most plus size models are represented by this body type - so it has been generally more accepted.<br />

Since the rule of thumb is to create a balanced shape, you will need to highlight your upper body, and distract away from your hips. Simple logic.<br />
<br />
- draw attention to the upper body with prints, outerwear, padding or accessories<br />
- keep bottoms dark, well-fitted and close to the body<br />

CENTER HEAVY<br />
<br />
Have anyone asked you if you are pregnant even when you are not? This is basically what it means - you are round and heavy in the center of your body.Your bust and hips look to be smaller than your waist. This is generally known as an Apple Shape.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

To balance out this body type, you can do 2 things depending on your size and comfort level. One of the illusion techniques is to add a detail that cinches the waist to create an illusion of a smaller waistline. The other extreme end is to wear something that fall loose from the shoulders down - to hide the center part (but you will need to highlight the legs).<br />
<br />
A good tip is to avoid materials clinging to the mid-section - so choose thicker or more structured materials.<br />
<br />
- draw attention to an illusion of a small waist<br />
- highlight other smaller parts of the body<br />

TOP HEAVY<br />
<br />
I feel like this is the least discussed body type - but these are the Inverted Triangle body shapes. These body types may look athletic when lean, but have a tendency to look masculine or 'sado' due to the larger upper body. In general, I notice that most plus size Chinese women have this body type compared to other races in Malaysia, and a noticeably flatter bum.<br />

To balance out this body type, we will use logic once again - distract from the top and create volume on the bottom.<br />
<br />
- Create volume and drama at the hips or legs<br />
- Keep the top well-fitted and plain<br />

Are you in a mid-week slump? Let me introduce you to a relatively new form of entertainment. Podcasts!<br />
<a name='more'></a>Podcasts are on the up-and-rising - but how many of you have gotten hook onto this hidden gem of an activity? It is like watching a movie or reading a book but without using your eyes, only your ears. It is a secondary activity that fills up your time in the best way!<br />
<br />
Listening to a podcast that I find interesting reduces my stress while driving. I actually look forward to a traffic jam now, and my road rage have reduced significantly.<br />
<br />
Podcasts are a life-saver during house chores like cooking and cleaning. It also helps so much with boring tasks like walking on the treadmill. Tip: it really elevates the experience when I use bluetooth earphones. You can go a whole hour without feeling bored when you have an interesting podcast to listen to.<br />
<br />
It is a wonderful filler time during unproductive time such as while commuting or while waiting. Just make sure all your batteries are charged and your internet connection is working.<br />
<br />
Here are some of <i>my </i>favourite podcasts that you can check out (available on Spotify):<br />
<br />
Let's Not Meet (true horror)<br />
Criminal by Phoebe Judge (rare crime stories)<br />
Crime Junkie (true crime)<br />
The Simple Sophisticate (beauty and style)<br />
Punch Up The Jam (music review)<br />
RISK! (jaw-dropping true stories)<br />
Optimal Daily Living (self-improvement)<br />
Potterless (Harry Potter read and review)<br />
<br />

You have heard it before - wrap dresses or tops are recommended for almost every female body shape. Is it true? Is the wrap dress universally flattering?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Wrap dress or tops are designed in a way that it is cinched at the waist to create the ideal hourglass figure, which promotes an idea of being feminine or more womanly.<br />

Most wrap styles will have a deep V-neck look which is flattering for the bust. The loose fit around the bust and hips is flattering without being too clingy to the body bulges. Plus, we believe wrap styles look good on women of all ages!<br />

Or some may prepare a more modest cute but with the same sort of wrap that focuses on the waist? This is also very flattering to create an hourglass figure, while covering the other parts.<br />

I am sure many of us in the local plus size community have heard about the fat-shaming comment guest judge Mark Adam made about Sherry Alhadad in front of maybe hundreds of thousands of people in the live audience, watching on TV or, like me, read it on the Internet through social media, not only in Malaysia but also Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and South Korea.<br />
<br />

Pentas Big Stage 2019 happened last night in Malaysia - which is a singing talent competition which contestants from different countries come to compete. As the night's hosts Alif Satar and Sherry Alhadad are standing with a Thailand contestant who is being given their feedback by the panel of judges, Mark Adam (a Philippino actor and singer, who was a guest judge) made a bad joke and body-shamed Sherry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Eo3XaQ5dNN4/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Eo3XaQ5dNN4?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<i>Mark: (to the participant) This opportunity is very big, you see... (then gesturing to Sherry)... even the host is big.</i><br />
<i><br />(crowd laughs)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>(Sherry is speechless)<br /><br />Alif Satar: Mark, you're right. She has big talent, bro.</i><br />
<br />
***<br />
<br />
This is high-level cringe at just how wrong and tasteless of a joke it is. I have so many opinions and feelings about it. Mark Adam have since posted an apology on social media, but this just shows that many are still tone-deaf to fat jokes and fat-shaming.<br />
<br />
We at Mis Claire is so proud of Sherry and support her being a plus size talent in the local entertainment industry. She was looking so good last night (Min Luna is her stylist, ok?), like, bro, why you gotta be like that? Show some class.<br />
<br />
We need more people, male or female, like Alif Satar. We should not laugh at jokes that degrade others and we should stand up and defend the shamed, like in this instance.<br />
<br />
So what can we learn from this?<br />
<br />
1. Be sensitive of your jokes. Think - will he or she feel ashamed if I say it?<br />
<br />
2. Don't join in. The crowd laughing is so cringe - I would BOO!<br />
<br />
3. Don't be like Mark - be like Alif. Stand up for what is right.<br />
<br />
4. For plus size ladies - take note that fat-shaming is still very common, be strong and it is useful to have a few comebacks ready on-hand.<br />
<br />
What do you ladies think? Rant below!

Next, we come to the more serious half of the workshop and everyone was listening so very intently.

We all know that water is good for us, but still many are hopelessly not drinking enough water per day (including myself!). I don't even need to talk about the benefits (we all know it), I will just hand over some helpful tips on how to sneak water into your daily routine.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1. Infuse some flavour in your water<br />
<br />
If you hate the non-taste of water, spice things up by subtly flavouring your water. I like using lemon and some low calorie sweetener (or a tiny amount of sugar) and make a big pitcher that I store and drink at convenience. You can get more creative with fruit-infused water too by using juicy fruits like berries, apples, watermelons and so many more. Also, experiment with teas - those are also forms of infused water!<br />
<br />
2. Soups and rice porridge.<br />
<br />
Do like Asians and include a healthy clear soup with every meal. Porridge is always a good alternative to steamed rice as it contains a lot more water and less calories.<br />
<br />
3. Place a water bottle on your work desk.<br />
<br />
Hit your goal by drinking all that water by the end of each work day. Extra points if that water bottle is cute, and bonus score if it has a motivating message on it.<br />
<br />
4. Eat more spicy foods.<br />
<br />
This is a trick - it will make your drink more water to counter the spicy-ness.<br />
<br />
5. Make a habit of ordering a glass of water when eating out.<br />
<br />
Not only it is good for your body - but it saves you money too. However if you choose to order any other drinks, just get an extra glass of water which can be consumed in intervals, or used to dilute your drinks. Whatever it is you choose, it ensures you get more water than you normally do.Mis Claire Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14489449911076590380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694468317649981320.post-91201091212344719392019-08-16T07:00:00.000+08:002019-08-16T07:00:00.310+08:00How To Build Your Confidence As A Plus Size Woman<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It is a tough world out there - but remember you are not alone! Here are some tried-and-tested ways to build your confidence to help you achieve a better quality of life.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>1. Get inspired.<br />
<br />
I love to save inspiring photos on my phone - be it style, fashion or makeup. Follow Instagram-ers that inspire you and search for blogs that you can subscribe to. Once you surround yourself with light, only then you can shine too.<br />
<br />
2. Remember your strengths and value.<br />
<br />
What are you good at? What are your skills? Maybe you are good in music, drawing, cooking or writing? Make it your thing.<br />
<br />
3. Have a motto.<br />
<br />
If you have a motto or mantra memorized and ready - you can make it your life's principle. For some ideas, <a href="https://plussize-misclaire.blogspot.com/2019/08/10-daily-positive-mantras-for-plus-size.html" target="_blank">check out our previous blog post by clicking <span style="color: blue;">here</span></a>.<br />
<br />
4. Find your squad.<br />
<br />
Surround yourself with positive and supportive people, and in that same note, limit time with negative and soul-sucking emotional vampires.<br />
<br />
5. Accept compliments.<br />
<br />
And BELIEVE them. Say thanks and move on - no need to be modest and put yourself down. Fake your confidence 'til you make it.<br />
<br />
6. Stop comparing.<br />
<br />
This is hard - even for seemingly "perfect" people. Remember it is impossible to compare yourself to others since everyone is so vastly different. Why not use that energy to focus on what makes you unique?<br />
<br />
7. Learn a new hobby.<br />
<br />
This is a great way to take focus off your looks - and build something of yourself that is more sustainable and worthwhile.<br />
<br />
8. Wear clothes that you love.<br />
<br />
When you learn about your body, you can dress your very best. <a href="https://www.threadsmagazine.com/assets/pdf-download/Self-Evaluation-Worksheet.pdf" target="_blank">Check out <span style="color: blue;">this link</span> which is basically like a guidebook for dressing your body type!</a><br />
<br />
9. Accept that it will be hard - be realistic.<br />
<br />
You know what? No one said life was going to be easy. Accept that there will be good days and bad days - and be prepared to be strong when faced with difficulties.<br />
<br />
10. Keep your body feeling good.<br />
<br />
Go for your medical check ups. Go for that massage or pedicure. Take care of your body and skin. Eat well and enjoy food. The goal is to feel good.Mis Claire Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14489449911076590380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694468317649981320.post-64543593708726059492019-08-14T07:00:00.000+08:002019-08-14T07:00:03.063+08:0010 Daily Positive Mantras For Plus Size Women<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It is a tough world out there for people who look different - big people know this all too well. No matter what, people can always find ways to put others down but we must stay positive and spread love within ourselves and to others. Here are some mantras that you can use to help keep your mind positive everyday, and especially those challenging days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT MY BODY CAN DO.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What can your body do? We sometimes take it for granted - walking, moving, dancing, working, traveling. Got pregnant and gave birth? That is also a proud achievement. Be thankful for what your body can do, and what it has already done for you and where you are now because of it.</div>
<br />
<b>I AM LOVED.</b><br />
<br />
Although you may have heard a lot of hurtful and unkind comments your whole life (not only strangers, it could be even a parent) - remember those who truly matters and who always love you and want you around. They deserve the best and happiest version of you.<br />
<br />
<b>I LOVE MY ___ BECAUSE ___ .</b><br />
<br />
Do you have a feature that you love most about yourself? Highlight that to yourself and be proud of it. And it doesn't have to be something physical - it can be your compassion or intellect.<br />
<br />
<b>WORK OUT BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR BODY, NOT BECAUSE YOU HATE IT.</b><br />
<br />
Many of us overweight people work out because we hate how we look and we want to lose weight. Why not change that negative into a positive? Work out because you love your body and want to make it better. Trust me, you don't want to put it through sickness, injuries or diseases.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>HAPPINESS IS BEAUTIFUL.</b><br />
<br />
There is just something about a happy person that makes them beautiful and radiant - regardless of what they look like. Don't you agree? Laugh, smile and look at the humor in life!<br />
<br />
<b>I AM IN A LEAGUE OF MY OWN.</b><br />
<br />
In other words - no comparing. Even supermodels will compare themselves to others when they have low self-esteem. Remember, you are in a league of your own, and no one can compare to that.<br />
<br />
<b>MY IMPERFECTIONS ARE A WORK OF ART.</b><br />
<br />
Strive to <i>be </i>living art - interesting, imperfect and deep. There is no intrigue in being boring.<br />
<br />
<b>YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD, AND IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.</b><br />
<br />
My almost-40-year-old sister who is a breast cancer survivor told me that it is not too late for her to take care of herself and her body - and even with just that thought, she looks already so much happier and radiant.<br />
<br />
<b>I AM NOT DEFINED BY MY LOOKS - BUT HOW I LIVE.</b><br />
<br />
Looks are fleeting, they can be deceiving. What matters is what you do with your life that is truly a mark of who you are as a person, and what people will remember you by. At the end of the day, when you look at the bigger picture, what truly matters is how you carry yourself and how you treat people (especially your family).<br />
<br />
<b>THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN UGLY WOMAN.</b><br />
<br />
Just a lazy one. It just takes a little effort to take care of yourself. The first step to loving yourself, is to take that first step.Mis Claire Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14489449911076590380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694468317649981320.post-4291045804172693482019-08-12T07:00:00.000+08:002019-08-13T17:45:39.057+08:0010 Ways To Rock The Maxi Dress As a Big Woman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The maxi dress (oh angels sing!) is a life-saver for women especially plus size beauties because while it is feminine, versatile and trendy, it also helps the figure by giving you the illusion of height (when worn the right way) and providing coverage like no other. Let's figure out the ways to rock the versatility of the glorified maxi dress.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>1. Go for a deep V-neck and empire waist to show off your goods. The V-neck and open neckline elongates the neck and lets you highlight some sexiness (if needed); while the empire waist cinches you at the waistline and drapes down without clinging to your body.<br />

There are so many typical ways that you can Google about how to sleep better (we have heard it all) - but let's talk about these weird ways that have helped me that may help you. These aren't science-based and are purely of my own making. So read with a grain or salt and pinch of humor.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Watch videos of people or animals yawning.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Believe it when people say that yawning is contagious - this will get you in the mood to snooze in no time!<br />
<br />
<b>Listen to something very boring.</b><br />
<br />
There are podcasts dedicated to insomniac where the host reads random stories in a droning voice. I like this way better than rainforest sounds or white noise which actually spooks me out. <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/8-podcasts-to-fall-asleep-to-because-switching-off-relaxing-is-a-lot-harder-than-it-looks-9324248" target="_blank">If you are into podcasts for insomniacs, check more out <span style="color: blue;">here</span>!</a> But I guess, even just the news works.<br />
<br />
<b>Visualize this high-contrast scenario.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Imagine you are somewhere reallyyy hot and uncomfortable. You are parched and bored - but super uncomfortable. The key is to really imagine and "feel" the yucky feeling. Suddenly, out of nowhere, you find a room with some air-conditioning and miraculously a comfy water bed. Imagine the extreme contrast of feelings - and enjoy the coolness on your neck and forehead - and the bounciness of the bed.<br />
<br />
<b>Make yourself into a pillow hotdog.</b><br />
<br />
Collect as many pillows as you can find and bolster yourself between them.<br />
<br />
<b>Twist your body.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Do a BIGGGG spinal stretch on the bed (lay face up on your bed and bring one leg across your body as far as you can) - it releases the tension in the body and feels so relaxing. Plus points when you hear some spinal cracks.<br />

Korean fashion, style and beauty has been hitting our country hard for the past few years - not to mention their other influences such as music, TV shows, food and others. Somehow, we just jive with it as they start to have more cultural impact, because we discover that their cool style is not so hard to emulate. Are you all things K?<br />

<br />
<b>Loose fit tops</b><br />
<br />
In terms of revealing clothes, Koreans are still quite on the conservative side from the waist up. Loose fit tops are very popular - A-line blouses, tunic tops, long shirts - and that is why modest Malaysian women can really get on-board this trend.<br />
<br />
<b>Big vintage glasses</b><br />
<br />
Many young Malaysians, maybe 20 and below have jumped on this big clear frame glasses trend. It is cute and balances out the face to make one look childlike and innocently bug-eyed.<br />

<b>Over-sized cardigans</b><br />
<br />
Grandma chic - it's cool uncool with a vintage vibe. Great for layering over cropped clothing to provide extra coverage, texture and warmth.<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup</b><br />
<br />
Korean and Malaysians have more similar features and colouring compared to Caucasians (of course) therefore, we benefit more from their makeup colours and tips, and it is easier to copy! Their products also suit Asian skin types so score! (and straight eyebrows - who thought of this gem?)<br />
<br />
<b>Layering dresses and tops</b><br />
<br />
Skirts over tops, tops over shirts, outerwear, big and small - you name it, Koreans love layering. For plus size, we go for the fake layering - a one-piece garment that looks like we actually layered.<br />

Plastic is bad for the environment. The earth is so huge that we feel that nothing we do can ever help - but that is not true. Our country has been changing and improving (e.g. stopped giving out straws and plastic bags) over the past recent years.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Before going into the hows, let me share a little about the whys, as only when you are armed with knowledge, you will be informed and motivated to do better.<br />
<br />
Plastic never breaks down - that is why they stay on the earth forever, polluting the environment and harming wildlife and also human health. <a href="https://greentumble.com/10-reasons-why-plastic-bags-should-be-banned/" target="_blank">Click <span style="color: blue;">here</span> to read in more depth about how plastic use is affecting us negatively.</a><br />
<br />
So ladies - get WOKE! A truly beautiful woman is not only of the outside, but of the mind and heart too. Let's get to work.<br />

</tbody></table>
1. Straws<br />
<br />
Many places have stopped giving straws (even the cinema), or give you one in a packaging so you can opt NOT to use it. Use a reusable metal straw instead. Genius tip: Get a cleaning brush too so that you can keep it clean and healthy for reusing.<br />
<br />
2. Utensils<br />
<br />
When buying take out, tell them that you don't need plastic utensils - use the ones that you have at home or if you are always on the go, buy a lunch set (you can get good ones for cheap at places like Daiso).<br />
<br />
3. Stop chewing gum<br />
<br />
Once you spit it out, it doesn't go away because gum is also a type of 'plastic' that does not break down. It stays somewhere on this earth. Find other ways to keep your breath fresh throughout the day.<br />
<br />
4. Buy refill packs<br />
<br />
Instead of buying new bottles of product all the time, opt for refill packs - most of the time, it saves you some cents too.<br />
<br />
5. Bring your own container and mugs<br />
<br />
It is hard, but you can start bringing your own washable mugs and containers - especially if you buy takeout every day. The staff at the <i>nasi campur</i> place will be happy to put the food in your container.<br />
<br />
6. Re-purpose containers<br />
<br />
Sometimes, it just happens, you will get plastic without thinking about it as it has been a routine or a habit our whole lives. Re-purpose it, don't just throw it out. Even food containers become useful organization boxes for my vanity table and bedroom.<br />
<br />
7. Stop buying bottled water<br />
<br />
Stop buying bottled water and have a clean source of water from your home or office that you can collect using a reusable water bottle.<br />
<br />
8. Use a brush instead of facial scrub<br />
<br />
Did you know that facial scrubs have a bad reputation for having beads that do not disintegrate and flow to the sea and pollute it? Now there are some environmental-friendly brands and options, but I keep it simple by using a face brush (again, cheap from Daiso) that I can use with any washing products and double it into a scrub. Minimize products <i>and </i>keeping it safe for the environment.<br />
<br />
9. Order an ice cream cone.<br />
<br />
When you get an ice cream from a fast food joint, you need to decide between a cone or a sundae. So guess what do you think? No plastic, of course!<br />
<br />
10. Reusable bag<br />
<br />
This practice has been around for longer than the rest (even before the straws) where supermarkets practice not giving out plastic bags on weekends. Get a foldable reusable bag for groceries - it can be folded really small to put in your bag or car anytime.<br />

Blessed are we in Malaysia, we have lots of public holidays - and sometimes it gets even better when it is attached to a weekend. With long weekends, many of us travel back to our hometown or maybe for a quick getaway trip. Personally I love traveling light (so light, I like to spark a reaction out of those who see my bag).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. Analyze your trip and multitask your clothes.<br />
<br />
What kind of a trip is it and what do you need? Most of the time, we have a plan of what we will be doing and where we are going, so plan your outfits around those activities. For me:<br />
<br />
- a comfy pair of sandals or flats that will look good with everything<br />
- comfy and basic pants - such as leggings or jeans<br />
- three lightweight tops that can be folded really small and do not require ironing<br />
- a bra, and some panties (and a handful of panty-liners)<br />
- an outerwear for when you need to 'dress up' or warm up<br />
<br />
2. Simplify your vanity bag<br />
<br />
If you have travel-sized items, it would be the best - but try to streamline your beauty routines at this point. Face-wash and a moisturizing face mist would be nice, and some face wipes for removing makeup (if you plan on wearing it). For those who wear contact lenses, here is something I do when I do not have a travel-sized solution: I will bring a few cases with me filled up fresh solution so I don't need to bring the whole bottle.<br />
<br />
For makeup, you can maybe carry more pencil types makeup and limit to 5 must-have items. For me:<br />
<br />
1. Mascara (for both lashes and brows)<br />
2. Compact face powder (I hate shiny t-zones)<br />
3. Lipstick (for lips and cheek)<br />
4. Liquid eyeliner (for when you need to jazz up)<br />
<br />
3. Essentials<br />
<br />
Visualize what you will need while you are there - on the trip, reaching your destination, doing your activities, before you sleep, etc. It should not be any much different than what you need usually at home. Charger, handphone, medication, etc. Most of the time, we bring more than we need or will use because of a vacation syndrome - but we actually need way less. Before you know it, you will be walking out the door with just a medium-sized overnight bag for yourself.Mis Claire Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14489449911076590380noreply@blogger.com0
