Sexy Curves Can Go Beyond a Size Four

When it comes to a female's body, there's lots of buzz about "what's sexy" or "what's not sexy."

You are damned if you are too skinny. You are damned if you are too fat.
You are damned if you are too tall. You are damned if you are too short.
You are damned if you are too pale. You are damned if you are too dark.
You are damned if you are too flabby. You are damned if you are too muscular.

So WHAT THE HELL is supposed to be SEXY?? It is so crazy that a woman is so subjected to the topic of her looks, specifically regarding the size of the tag on her pants or the number on the scale.
Back in the day, skinny women tried to gain weight. Full figured women were adored. It was okay to have "some" to love.

So, what's changed?

Models Robyn Lawley, Jada Sezer, and Shareefa J recently shot this ad for the swimsuit company Swimsuits For All. It reenacts this year's famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine cover photo featuring Chrissy Teigan, Lily Aldridge, and Nina Adga. In my personal opinion, it just just as beautiful as the SI shoot. You might remember Robyn from when Cosmopolitan magazine posted a picture of her, calling her "plus sized" which had people fuming.

Your dress size or whatever numerical weight you have should not justify your beauty. If you are healthy and happy, then it is none of anyone's business.

After all, it isn't skinny, fat, short, tall, pale, dark, flab, or muscle that makes women sexy.

It is confidence.

How to Properly Strip Your Cloth Diapers

208359_10150559521135574_7262613_n
Over time, your cloth diapers will steadily accumulate build up after being subjected to so many changes. This is only natural! There is certainly nothing wrong with your cloth diapers; however, it is important to fix this problem as soon as you notice it in order to help extend your cloth diaper's lifespan of usage.

How do you know if your cloth diapers need stripping? Here are a few clues I have learned:
  • "Barnyard smell": Your diapers start smelling like a wet dog pretty much-or worse! Even after they come out of the wash.
  • Leaks: Your diapers will start leaking regularly if the pores become too clogged.
  • Discoloration: Discoloration will happen more often as your diapers are unable to clean as well as they once did while in the washer.
So, now we know what to look for, why do these things happen? Some common causes are:
  • Using too much detergent: Causes detergent to build up in the diaper.
  • Using too little detergent: Causes poop and pee to build up in the diaper.
  • You're using the wrong detergent.
  • You've used diaper cream not specifically made for cloth diapers.
  • Not using hot water for the wash.
  • Not using the rinse cycle before and after your hot wash.

Now, here is what to do about it. Proper stripping instructions will vary from site to site, but there is one clear method that is the most popular to use. You will need:
  • 1 tablespoon Dawn liquid dish detergent (the BLUE kind) for regular or top loading machines OR 1 teaspoon Dawn liquid dish detergent (the BLUE kind) for high efficiency or front loading machines.
  • 1/2 cup of bleach
**Note: You do NOT want to strip your diapers too often as it will wear them down. Bleach is abrasive and should only be used for bad cases of build up and barnyard stink!**
Now that you have your ingredients, wash your cloth diapers on a hot wash using the Dawn and bleach. After that wash, wash for TWO more times on hot with no detergent or Dawn or anything at all!

Dry as you normally would and there you have it! When in doubt, please check with the manufacturer of your brand cloth diapers.
