"Looking Good Limits My Life"

“Looking Good Limits My Life”

This is a quote I saw here in a Magazine in Sao Paulo.  In Brazil, there may be more plastic surgery in the world, but women are comfortable with their bodies and society with them.  I think the reason why Brazil is deemed to have the most beautiful people in the world is because when you go to the beaches you see everyone feeling good about themselves.   Large, small, too large for that bikini…you see it all.  It is amazing.  The other day my sister in law bought me a dress.  It is really beautiful and it is a halter top, one that I couldn’t wear a bra with.  I put it on without a bra and honestly it looked good.  However, I would not wear it in the U.S. because I feel that it would show an inappropriate amount of cleavage.  Here there is no such thing as an inappropriate amount of cleavage or an inappropriate amount of tummy fat.  In Brazil you wear what you have and what you feel good in, old, ugly, too small, inappropriate.  I have seen it all, as Rodrigo has always said “for every dog there is a bone”.

Looking good limits my life?  Hmm...  I think this is something to ponder for yourself.  I know what it means to me. 

Married to a Man

Married to a Man

There are a million good reasons to be married.  However one problem about being married to a man in a foreign county is that he translates what he hears.  You know when you’re talking to your husband and he nods and agrees with you, but you know he didn’t listen at all?  This is the same amount of information that gets translated for me. 

Headed out!

We are going to the beach today to get away for a while.  There was a lot of drama today!  So long and Happy New Year!.
