Getting Real

Posted on April 10 2017


I'm back!! I have been AWOL from blog land for quite some time now. Thanks to those that said they missed my blog. It made me really happy to hear that what I wrote was appreciated and relatable. For those saying it just to be polite, thanks to you too. Writing for anyone other than yourself is actually really hard. It exposes you, makes you vulnerable and makes you doubt and evaluate everything microscopically. Each time I have gone to press submit on a post, I've had a serious bout of anxiety. Will it tank? Will it be funny? Will I offend someone? (My greatest fear). I'm not one to shout out my controversial opinions to the world (yes I have them), regardless of what others will think. I don't want to shame anyone, alienate or draw attention to someone's fears, pain, sorrow or insecurities. That's not my role. Not my thing. Not why I write.

Somehow recently my 'behind the scenes' work for TSID became a little more 'front and centre'. I stepped out from the comfort of the notes section of my iPhone and got in front of the camera. A lot. Like every week. Several times a week. In the Main Street, where we took our photos. I thought writing was hard but there is nothing that compares to modelling clothes. And I use the term 'modelling' very loosely.

I'm not a 'model'.

I'm a duck arse. I'm not long lean or willowy. My hair hasn't been done since November last year. I do my own make up. I can't get snapped and then rely on a photographers photoshop skills because Sam has been taking the photos. She doesn't do photoshop. She just does the 'auto' button on her camera that has soooo many more functions than 'auto'. Bless her.

So I just have to let the world (or Doreen, whatever) see what I really look like. Balls and all. Cellulite, hormonal zits, gappy teeth and Mum tum. And you know what. I'm cool with that.

Because it's REAL.

Everyone has shit about themselves that they don't like. But there are also things I do like. I hate my 3rd chin, but I like my eyes. My muffin top gives me hell but my feet are really quite attractive. My legs aren't long, but they work. I can run, skip, hop, play netball. My arms may wobble longer than they probably should, but they work. They can hold my babies.

Here at TSID that's what we are about. Embracing YOU. Rocking what you've ALREADY got. Not trying to sell you clothes that you'll only look good in if you lose a couple of kgs or are 6ft8.

There is already enough pressure on us as women. We have to be superwomen. Have clean homes. Well behaved kids. Be perfectly groomed and have our shit together. Well I can tell you now - That's bullshit. My kids can be total arseholes. My house is a brothel at times and my bra never matches my undies.

Being real is whatever you can handle. YOU. Not what anyone else perceives of you. What your brain, schedule and time allows. Perfection is non existent. It's unachievable, stressful and unrealistic.

Real is real at any size. Any height, any age.

So that's why TSID is using me. And my sister Megan. Because we are not perfect. And we are trying to smash the fashion industry's preconceived notions that only 'supermodels' look good in clothes. 

We will never use photoshop to alter the images. We may use the odd filter here and there (we aren't savages) but what you see is what exists. In all its imperfect glory.

I love online shopping. I pore over the online stores wistfully dreaming of outfits that look amazing on the model but will make me look like a burst cocktail Frankfurt. I've been a victim of online shopping. I've bought stuff from 'fashion' sites in a XXXXXXXL only to have it arrive and be handed straight to my 10 year old daughter.

We want to show you that you can still look good at any 'realness'. Size 8, size 22. Everyone is real. It's about good choices, and finding outfits that not only suit your body shape but your personality. The old adage 'you look good, you feel good' is true.

And the perfect accompaniment to a new outfit is confidence and a beautiful smile.

    I’m Dolores, a retired real estate developer from Essen, now dedicating my time to running a charity organization supporting underprivileged communities worldwide. In 2017, I started investing in Bitcoin to expand our charity’s outreach. By 2024, my Bitcoin holdings reached nearly $900,000—a life-changing amount for future projects helping those in need.

    Disaster struck during a European trip when my phone, containing access to my Bitcoin wallet, was stolen. Panic set in when I realized I couldn’t access my funds. Despite trying every method, all attempts failed, putting our charitable initiatives at risk.

    After weeks of stress, a fellow investor recommended DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. Initially skeptical, I trusted them and reached out. Their team was professional, compassionate, and transparent. I appreciated their reassuring approach.

    To my astonishment, within weeks, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES resolved the issue, returning $900,000 to my hands. I felt immense relief and gratitude, knowing our charity could continue impacting countless lives.

    DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES exceeded expectations, securing our mission’s future. If you face similar challenges, don’t give up. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched.

    The best thing that happened to me this year was seeing an article about Galaxy ethical tech who is a professional hacker and private investigator. I invested $1 million in a cryptocurrency platform and found out it was a scam and I had no idea how to get my money back until I contacted Galaxy Ethical Technology and they had no problem getting it back from these scammers . I really appreciate it and sharing it with you all. You may have been involved in a romance scam, or a fake cryptocurrency investment, and you want to get your money back, then you also need to contact Galaxy Technology.

    Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $590,300 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about GENUINE HACKERS from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot since I didn’t have any other option and nothing more to lose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is top notch and I’ll recommend him to everyone, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on GENUINEHACKERS000@GMAIL.COM or WhatsApp +1 (260) 218-3592.

    I was recently a victim of a scam that left me feeling utterly devastated. I lost a significant amount of money $36,000 due to a fraudulent scheme that I believed was legitimate at the time. The experience was not just financially draining but emotionally exhausting as well. After the scam, I felt lost and hopeless, struggling to come to terms with what had happened. I tried to contact the scammers multiple times, but they had vanished without a trace, leaving me with no options and no recourse. In my darkest moments, a friend reached out to me with some advice. They told me about a company called Lee Ultimate Hacker that specializes in helping victims of scams recover their lost funds. Initially, I was skeptical. I had already been through so much, and the idea of trusting another organization felt daunting. However, my friend reassured me, sharing their own positive experience with Lee Ultimate Hacker. Desperate for a solution, I decided to give them a try. From my very first interaction with their team, I felt a sense of professionalism and understanding that I hadn’t experienced before. The representatives were empathetic to my situation and listened attentively to my story. They walked me through the process, outlining the steps they would take to assist me in recovering my funds. Their transparency and dedication quickly alleviated some of my fears. Lee Ultimate Hacker employed a comprehensive approach to my case. They conducted thorough investigations, reaching out to various financial institutions and authorities to track down the scammers. Throughout the process, they kept me informed, providing regular updates and reassurances that they were doing everything possible to help me recover my money. After weeks of hard work and persistence on their part, I was shocked to learn that they had successfully retrieved a substantial portion of my lost funds. The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. Not only did Lee Ultimate Hacker help me financially, but they also restored a sense of hope that I thought I had lost forever. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Lee Ultimate Hacker. Their authenticity, dedication, and professionalism made all the difference in my journey to recover from this traumatic experience. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly changed my life for the better, and I am now on a path to healing and rebuilding.

    When your life savings are tied up in cryptocurrency, you might expect a few bumps along the way. But nothing could have prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster of losing access to my $200,000 Bitcoin wallet. After enduring a painful breakup, I found myself in a whirlwind of emotions, and in a moment of vulnerability, I decided to change my wallet password to something that seemed clever and meaningful in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, that moment of inspiration faded quickly, and I completely forgot my new password.
    The sinking feeling of panic set in as I realized I was locked out of my own funds. My heart raced, and my mind spiraled into chaos as I imagined how my hasty decision had cost me everything I had worked tirelessly to build. The fear of losing access to my hard-earned money felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. It was a painful reminder that in moments of emotional distress, our judgment can become clouded.
    Desperate for help, I turned to Rapid Digital Recovery, hoping they could guide me through this dark period. From my first interaction with their team, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over me. Their empathetic approach and understanding nature reassured me that I wasn’t the first person to make a hasty decision during a turbulent time. They patiently listened to my story and the circumstances that led me to this predicament, making me feel heard and understood.
    The team at Rapid Digital Recovery wasted no time getting to work. They assured me that they had the tools and expertise to help recover my funds, and their professionalism was evident from the start. Days felt like an eternity as I anxiously awaited updates. Each time my phone buzzed, I felt a surge of hope and dread, torn between the possibility of good news and the fear of disappointment.
    Finally, the moment I had been praying for arrived. I received the call confirming that they had successfully cracked my password and restored access to my wallet. The overwhelming relief I felt was indescribable; it was as if a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders. All the stress and sleepless nights melted away in an instant, and I was finally able to breathe again.
    This experience taught me a crucial lesson about approaching both love and finances with a level head. Emotions can drive us to make impulsive decisions, and I’ve learned the importance of taking a step back to think things through before acting. Now, I securely store my passwords and have implemented strategies to prevent emotional turmoil from affecting my financial choices in the future. Thanks to Rapid Digital Recovery, I not only regained my access but also gained invaluable insights for a brighter financial future.

    Please read that I have heard of him on several health sites and blogs, but after watching the documentary Last Days of Left Eye, I was turned on to the full story about Dr. Godsent Yare. He is a man who has the Cure for Herpes virus. He never went to college or medical school but has thousands of testimonials of healing people with incurable deadly diseases.  Lisa Left Eye Lopes of TLC was cured of Genital Herpes by him, and she was so moved by his knowledge that she went on to spread the word about him in every way she could. She also opened a Cultural/Healing Centre for Children in Honduras before she passed away tragically. This all inspired me that I had to contact Dr Godsent-Yare-Herbal-Healing-Home, and he sent me the parcel that contains a bottle of herbs, cream, and  healing oil, which I use as instructed for a period of three weeks and it completely cured me. The healing oil remedy works miraculously that I can confidently say that Dr.GODSENT YARE’S HERBAL HEALING HOME is a dependable, reliable, and trustworthy herbal clinic. If you find yourself or someone else in a similar or worse situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him by email: dryareherbalcurehome(@) gmail. (com)
