Got Knits?

(plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)
Moschino Knit @ Asos €185
X Factor is at bootcamp stages which can only mean that Saturday nights in front of the fire with a glass of vino are upon us. Keeping cosy is perfect for weekend nights in and with the right knit wear you can be ready to rock to the pub after X Factor without even changing!
Hipster Jumper, €50, River Island
With DDs, I'm fussy about jumpers. Big boobed babes should stay away from the hipster shape in a thick knit like the one above. The good news is - anyone with small boobs this jumper is perfect for you! Curvy girls look out for jumpers with a scooped neckline and a non-elasticated hem like the ones below from Asos. 
Asos Curve, €39.81
French Connection@ Asos, €82.46
A knitted poncho is perfect to both keep warm and look smart. 
< table al ign="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">iClothing, €45
Nobody will ever see the pizza stained t-shirt you have on underneath. 
iClothing, €45
There is a good chance you might roast your boobs off in your local pub in a knitted poncho, so if you want the look but not the hot flushes, River Island have this lightweight jumper alternative.
Slouchy Fine Knit, River Island, €40
For something slightly dressier, a knitted dress is comfy, cosy and classy. BooHoo.com have a sale on knitwear until midnight TONIGHT! Use cod e WRAPST AR at the checkout. This turtleneck dress comes in both black and grey and with 20% off - we should probably get both.
€27, Boohoo.com, before discount
I know it's slightly cheating as it's not exactly knit, but this top was in the "knitwear sect ion" and was too fab not to feature. Let's ALL GET ONE!
€21.33, Asos, BARGAIN
It's time to ditch the onesie and get cosy in some proper knitwear this year, you never know - Simon Cowell himself might be calling round!

Fashion Blogger Spotlight: Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)

Happy Friday!  Are you stepping up your fall fashion game?  We hope you’re finding plenty to get inspired by over here at The Curvy Fashionista.  A great source of style inspiration can be other bloggers, so we’re always happy to introduce you to more fabulous plus size bloggers.  Last week, you met Austrian blogger Jasmin of Finding Fate.  This week, we’re back here in the States, with Washington DC based blogger Vivi of Heart, Print and Style.  Through her blog, Vivi shares her personal style, style inspiration, television and runway fashion, sports talk, and  more!  She is a plus size blogger YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!

Meet Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style!

Plus Size Fashion Blogger Spotlight- Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style on TheCurvyFashionista.com #TCFStyleBlog:   www.heartprintandstyle.com
Age:
  34
Height: 
5’5″
Location:   Washington D.C.

How long have you been blogging?  5 years

What or who inspired you to become a fashion blogger? What led you to it?
It was a combination of two things:
1) My sister. She was heavily into reading personal blogs and fashion blogs. Especially, fashion, y’know, for style inspiration. She stumbled upon Gabi’s blog (at the time, Young, Fat, and Fabulous) and immediately told me about her. Since she knew I loved style and liked blogging (I had a personal blog), she thought it would be good to combine both.
2) I was laid off a year prior and finally came to a point when I needed another outlet. So my sister’s idea kind of clicked. And…here we are.

Do you blog full-time, for fun, as a hobby? Share your evolution!
I blog for fun and as a hobby. I’m sure a lot of folks in my life wished I took it a bit more seriously aka making it a business/brand. But that’s just an overwhelming thought right now. However, I’ve been making eensy weensy strides towards making my blog a brand. It’s a start.

Plus Size Fashion Blogger Spotlight- Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style on TheCurvyFashionista.com #TCFStyleWhat is your favorite asset? Your legs, arms, waist? How do you play that up?
My favorite asset is my smile. I show it off a lot throughout my photos.

What are the challenges, if any, you face regarding being plus size?
I’m 5’5″, average height. My challenge is finding items that can complement my apple shape (most of my weight is shifted to the middle). This mostly comes into play with pants/jeans. A constant struggle.

What’s your favorite thing about being plus size?
Honestly, knowing that, yes, I do have style and, at times, can outshine anyone in the room despite my size. On the shallow side, I do love my DD boobs.

What’s your favorite thing about being a blogger?
My favorite thing about being a blogger is having a platform to express myself in a multitude of ways. Besides being into style and showcasing my plus size style, I love the NBA, going to events, watching TV, doing recaps of award shows, etc. So I try to inject those interests into my blog from time to time.

Plus Size Fashion Blogger Spotlight- Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style on TheCurvyFashionista.com #TCFStyleWho/what are your favorite designers/brands?
ASOS, Old Navy, Simply Be, and Torrid (mostly for W/WW stylish footwear), Elie Saab (A wish of mine is to have a custom dress). However, most of my clothes are from thrift stores, consignment stores or vintage boutiques.

Describe your personal style.
Simplistic with a hint of color/print.

Which bloggers inspire you? Plus or straight size! Any bloggers currently on your radar?
It changes each year! Shoo, sometimes monthly!

Okay, right now, it’ll be:

  • Atlantic-Pacific
  • The Werk! Place
  • Beauticurve
  • From the Rez to the City
  • A Loyal Love
  • 2 Scoops of Life & Style (Nikki displays her style more on her Instagram page)

What do you think about where plus size fashion is today versus a few years back?
Oh it’s getting so good. Yeah, there are still a few stores/brands that treat us like shit. Besides that, for the most part, I’m loving it. More options, more styles! New plus size designers popping up here and there. It’s been nice to witness the change during my time as a lifestyle blogger. Five years is a long time but within the fashion industry, it’s pretty darn short. So such a quick change within that time frame is a good thing to be proud of. And honestly, thanks to us, plus size bloggers and readers, for guiding that change.

Plus Size Fashion Blogger Spotlight- Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style on TheCurvyFashionista.com #TCFStyleWhat do you think or hear from readers, is one of the biggest myths about plus size fashion?
That our style can’t be inspiring. That our style can’t match up with those from the straight size world just because of our body type. That’s insane to me. I derive inspiration from both plus size and straight size. I can easily look at a straight size style and become inspired. I can easily look at their pieces and quickly find something similar in the plus size world. But you mean to tell me a straight size woman can’t derive inspiration from what a plus size woman is wearing? That’s bs.

Are you working on anything or have anything to share? Anything else you want The Curvy Fashionista’s readers to know?
I guess the only thing I’m working on is evolving from my blog into a brand. Besides that, nothing on the horizon.

I’m on multiple social media platforms:
Instagram – @heartprintandstyle
Twitter – @Vivi_HPS
Facebook – /heartprintstyle
Pinterest – /heartprintstyle

Plus Size Fashion Blogger Spotlight- Vivi of Heart, Print, and Style on TheCurvyFashionista.com #TCFStyleLastly, what does Curvy.Confident.Chic mean to you?
I believe that’s what I embody. When I head out of my door, I know that I’m a curvy/plus size woman, who appears confident outwardly and inwardly (an everyday process), and whose style is chic and on point.

Be sure to check out Vivi’s blog at Heart, Print and Style!

Building Up My Eyeglasses Collection with Coastal.com

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)

You know, for the longest time, it never occurred to me to have more than one pair of glasses at a time. It never occurred to me to mix and match my frames with my outfits and moods. Seriously, it really never did until I posed an eyeglasses question to you all of you over on the Curvy Fashionista Facebook Page!

As I asked, many of you were in the same boat, but some of you had upward 10 pairs to play in and I was taken aback! I mean, it was like my eyes opened and I could see the varied possibilities! After I added these Michael Kors frames from Coastal.com to the mix, I wanted to play with more! I wanted frames in green, purple, black, and everything in between! I wanted some that fade into different colors and that had cool face fitting shapes!

Messy Hair, Don’t Care!

Building Up My Eyeglasses Collection with Coastal.com

 

Who would have thought that adding a few new pairs to the mix would do so much!

And honestly, I have to thank Coastal.com and share with you my latest additions! I am not to ten pairs yet, but I imagine over the next year, this will easily be achieved! Right? LOL. I am currently at four pairs now!

My two latest additions are by their house brand, Derek Cardigan, the Derek Cardigan 7005 in Lilac! I must say that with my complexion and new hair color, these frames look a bit darker than advertised, but I love it:

Building Up My Eyeglasses Collection with Coastal.com

and Derek Cardigan 7039 in Black!

Building Up My Eyeglasses Collection with Coastal.com

OBVIOUSLY I am digging the cat eye silhouette! Obviously.

BUT! In addition to these two additions, I got this interesting new reflection coating on my frames. I am a huge proponent for protecting the eyes, and Coastal.com hooked me up with KODAK BlueReflect lenses on my frames to protect the eyes! With the increase use of our smartphones and technology, many people do not realize the health effects that these digital screens have on us. It is funny because in some pictures, their reflection looks kind of purple, like my new glasses (center in pic below)! LOL

Building Up My Eyeglasses Collection with Coastal.com

Also!!! Derek Cardigan also just launched the Grammar Collection! The collection features classic shapes, key hole detailing and finished with colon and semi-colon symbols on the temples. Totally appealing to the geek chic in me!

But I do have a few more faves from Coastal.com that I have to add to my collection. Can I share them with you? Please let me! LOL

My Favorite Frames from Coastal.com

By Rows:

Derek Cardigan AF 7528 Wood, Calvin Klein CK7893 003 Crystal Moss,
Colors In Optics Millie C970 OXF Black Fade, Derek Cardigan AF 7505 White Clear
Chloe CE2600 316 Striped Green, Kam Dhillon 3087 Sahara

I must share, this is not a sponsored post. While they sent me a few frames, I am so geeked about the ease of this process and the options I get to play in! So I had to share it with you!

And who is down for a coupon? Yes boo. How about 40% off?

Receive 40% off house brand glasses. Use code COASTAL40 at checkout, only at Coastal.com Hurry, offer ends 9/30! 

How many of frames do you own? How many glasses are you looking to add? Have you shopped Coastal.com? Where do you get your frames from?

Manchmal ertappe ich mich dabei, dass ich gerne andere Leute über meine neugekau ften Sch uhe, Tasche oder Kleidung nach ihrer Meinung frage. Den ganzen Sommer lang war ich auf der Suche nach Sandalen, die nicht nach Mode die Beine länger machten und den Fuß schmaler wirken lassen, also solche, bei denen die Riemen nur im Bereich der Zehen vorkommen und der Rest des Fußes offen ist. Es ist mir gelungen auf dieses erträumte Modell erst vor zwei Wochen zu stoßen. Leider wird das Wetter von Tag zu Tag mieser und ich befürchte, dass ich mich an den Schuhen nicht mehr lange erfreuen kann. Ich wartete schon seit langem auf den Herbst, doch diese Schuhe haben es tatsächlich geschafft, dass es mir nichts ausmachen würde etwas länger auf die neue Jahreszeit zu warten. Ich denke, dass diese Einstellung ziemlich gesund ist. Anfangs war ich skeptisch, was ich bei mir absolut nicht mag. Ehrlich gesagt gab es mal eine Zeit wo ich gerne die Meinung der Anderer zur Kenntnis genommen habe und danach meine eigene vielleicht modifiziert habe. Doch als dieses Jahr Schuhe, die man früher nur zu Hause trug oder eventuell im Schwimmbad, jetzt das absolute Highlight sind und sie man sogar zu Anzügen oder eleganten Kleidern trägt, dann habe ich irgendwie das Interesse verloren andere nach ihrer Meinung zu fragen. Man braucht tatsächlich nur einen Fingerschnippen von irgendwo da oben und der Geschmack ändern sich um 180 Grad. Es hat so viele Jahre gedauert den Männern beizubringen, dass es das letzte ist Sandalen mit Socken zu tragen und jetzt ist ist es die Crème de la Crème weiße Socken mit Badelatschen zu tragen. Ähnlich ist es mit Sandalen, die ich früher nur in Krankenhäusern oder bei Verkäuferinnen gesehen habe, also da wo man auf Arbeit einfach viel Läuft. Keine Fashionista würde es sich erlauben nichtmal beim runtergehen zum Briefkasten darin ertappt zu werden, geschweige so auf die Straße zu gehen. Und wieder ein Fingerschnippen und die größten Modeikonen tragen diese Sandalen mit stolz auf der Straße. Und das nicht nur zur Je ans oder Shorts...

Also, was nutzt es andere, dessen Geschmack Zeitungen bestimmen, zu fragen, was sie von meinen Schuhen halten. Jetzt kann ich enorme Kritik sammeln und nächstes Jahr schnippt Jemand mit seinen Fingern und alle werden mich anflehen, die Adresse des Ladens zu verraten....
Czasami Å‚apiÄ™ siÄ™ na odruchu pytania innych o zdanie na temat moich nowych butów, torebki, czy jakiegoÅ› ciucha. Sama siÄ™ za to ganiÄ™. CaÅ‚e lato szukaÅ‚am sandałów, które niezgodnie z aktualnÄ… modÄ… wydÅ‚użaÅ‚yby moje nogi i sprawiaÅ‚y, że stopa wydaje siÄ™ węższa, czyli takich, których paski zakrywajÄ… tylko okolice obok palców natomiast wszystko, co wyżej zostaje odsÅ‚oniÄ™te. UdaÅ‚o mi siÄ™ trafić na mój wymarzony model niecaÅ‚e dwa tygodnie temu, pech chciaÅ‚, że pogoda nie współgraÅ‚a i nie mogÅ‚am siÄ™ nimi wystarczajÄ…co nacieszyÄ ‡. CaÅ‚k iem możliwe, że niewielu z was podziela moje zdanie, ale widok tych butów wciąż cieszy moje oko i choć nie mogÅ‚am siÄ™ doczekać jesieni, sprawiÅ‚y one, że chciaÅ‚abym, by poczekaÅ‚a ze swoim nadejÅ›ciem choć jeszcze kilka chwil. I myÅ›lÄ™, że to podejÅ›cie jest jak najbardziej prawidÅ‚owe. PoczÄ…tkowo byÅ‚am sceptyczna, nie lubiÄ™ tego u siebie. Ale powiem wam szczerze, że o ile kiedyÅ› jeszcze lubiÅ‚am wsÅ‚uchiwać siÄ™ w zdanie innych i moje podejÅ›cie ewentualnie korygować. Ale, gdy w tym roku weszÅ‚a moda na buty, które kiedyÅ› wszyscy nosili tylko na basen lub po domu, a w obecnej chwili panuje jedno wielkie wspólne podniecenie odnoÅ›nie tego obuwia, które jest zakÅ‚adane nawet do eleganckich sukienek, czy garniturów, to ja dziÄ™kujÄ™ takim osobom. Wystarczy jedno pstrykniÄ™cie kogoÅ› tam na modowej górze i gusta zmieniajÄ… siÄ™ o 180 stopni. No bo tyle lat walczyÅ‚o siÄ™ z facetami, by nie nosili skarpet do sandałów, a tu nagle ze wszystkich gazet o modzie, aż krzyczy, że szczytem finezji sÄ… klapki basenowe połączone z biaÅ‚ymi skarpetami. Podobnie z sandaÅ‚ami typu Birkenstock, wczeÅ›niej takowe widywaÅ‚am jedynie na szpitalnych korytarzach, czy u paÅ„ w sklepie, którym przede wszystkim ma być wygodnie. Å»adna "modnisia" nie wyszÅ‚aby w tym nawet po pocztÄ™ na parter. I znowu - pstryk - i najwiÄ™ksze ikony w dziedzinie ubierania siÄ™ pomykajÄ… w tymże obuwiu dumnie po mieÅ›cie. I żeby jeszcze do spodenek, czy dżinsów...

I jak mam wierzyć opiniom ludzi, którzy za sprawą kilku artykułów w gazecie potrafią zmienić swój gust tak drastycznie? Przecież w tym sezonie mogą mnie zrugać za tak niemodne buty, a za rok będą błagać mnie o adres sklepu, bo znowu ktoś pstryknął...
There are still moments, when I want to know others opinion about my new shoes, bag or clothes. The who le summer I've been looking for old-fashioned sandals, that means such ones, that make the leg longer and the foot appear more narrow. A model with strips only by the toes area and the rest of the foot uncovered. I found my dream-pair two weeks ago, because the weather is getting worse and worse I am not sure if I can enjoy them long. I was waiting for autumn for so long, but the shoes actually made me to want summer for a little bit longer. I'd use to listen to others opinion and modify my own. But this year everything has changed. This year shoes, that earlier everyone used to wear at home or at the swimming pool became so hot, that people started to wear them to suits or elegant dresses. Only one finger snap was enough to changed everyones taste for 180 degrees. Earlier a fashionista wouldn't go even to check the mail in that kind of shoes, now they are walking down the street proud wearing them and not only with shorts or jeans. It took so long to explain men, that they shouldn' t wear socks to sandals...

How can I trust others opinion, that is created by fashion magazines? My sandals may gather a lot of criticism now and next year, when someone snap with his fingers, the same people will bag me for reavealing the adress of the shop...

Ich mochte schon immer, wenn ich von anderen Kleidung als Geschenk bekommen habe . Aber n icht welche, die ich mir selbst aussuche, sondern Überraschungen, die eine andere Modebewusste Fra mir aussucht. So war es mit dieser Bluse. Die (und viele andere wundervolle Sachen - nochmals tausendmal Danke!) habe ich von der lieben Conny, einer wunderschönen Frau, die den Plus Size Blog Zick und Zack führt. Noch nicht so lange her hat man mich in einem Interview gefragt ob es einen Blog gibt, der mich inspiriert. Ich bedaure zu tiefst, dass ich da Conny's Blog nicht erwähnt habe. Conny ist nämlich die mutigste Plus Size Bloggerin, die ich kenne. Mit ihrer Größe 56 hat sie kein Problem sich in Erotik Wäsche zu fotografieren und das auf dem Blog so zu zeigen als wäre das ein ganz normales Outfit. Conny gibt mir immer den Mut mehr Haut zu zeigen und sich nicht hinter zu großer Kleidung zu verstecken. Conny, ich finde es klasse, dass es dich und deinen Blog gibt!

Aber zurück zur Bluse. Ich würde sie mir nie im Leben kaufen, wegen dem hochgeschlossene Auss chnitt u nd dem Mangel an Ärmel. Doch als ich sie anprobierte dachte ich "wow. Irgendwie, finde ich mich super darin. Normalerweise sollte mir so ein Schnitt nicht stehen, doch aus irgendeinem Grund finde ich, dass er es tut. Ich Spiele mit dem Gedanken mir mehr dieser Art zu besorgen - vielleicht diesmal mit Ärmeln - für den Herbst und Winter.

Das Kimono habe ich für ca. 5€ bei Primark entdeckt. Ich weiß die führen dort keine Plus Size Abteilung, doch die Jacken und Kimonos sitzen oft sogar bei Gr. 52 sehr gut. Anfangs dachte ich, dass ich es kürzen werde doch nach dem Spaziergang, an dem die Fotos gemacht wurden, bin ich zu dem Entschluss gekommen es so zu lassen, wie es ist.
Zawsze lubiłam dostawać w prezencie ubrania. Oczywiście nie takie, które sobie sama wybiorę, tylko niespodzianki, które są wybrane przez inną, znającą się n a modzie , kobietę. Tak było z tą bluzką (i z wieloma innymi), które dostałam od Conny, przepięknej kobiety, która prowadzi niemieckiego bloga plus size o nazwie Zick und Zack. Niedawno w pewnym wywiadzie zapytano mnie, jakie blogi mnie inspirują. Żałuję, że nie wymieniłam wtedy bloga Conny. Conny jest najodważniejszą kobietą plus size, jaką znam. Nosi rozmiar 56 i na swoim blogu pokazuje swoje zdjęcia nawet w bieliźnie erotycznej z takim luzem, jakby pokazywała najzwyklejszy zestaw na świecie. Conny dodaje mi zawsze odwagi, gdy mam opory pokazać więcej ciała i by nie chować się za przydużymi ubraniami :)

Wracając do bluzki. Przyznam, że w życiu bym takiej nie kupiła - odstraszyło by mnie wysokie zapięcie i brak rękawów. Lecz, gdy ją przymierzyłam - pomyślałam "wow". Całkiem nieźle!!! Zaczęłam się zastanawiać, czy nie sprawić sobie podobnej bluzki, tym razem z rękawami, na jesień i zimę :)

Narzutkę zdobyłam w Primark u za jak ieś 5€. Nie ma tam działu z dużymi rozmiarami, ale niektóre kurtki i narzutki całkiem nieźle leżą nawet, gdy się nosi rozmiar 52. Początkowo chciałam ją skrócić, lecz po spacerze, podczas którego powstały te fotki, stwierdziłam, że jednak zostawię ją taką, jaka jest.
I always liked to became clothes as a gift. Of course not those I chose by myself, but pieces from another woman that loves fashion. Like it was the case with this blouse (ans much more other things) I got from Conny. Conny is a beautiful woman that writes the German plus size blog named Zick und Zack. A few weeks ago, I was asked in an interview what my favourites blogs are. I regret (very, very much) I didn't mention Conny. She is wearing size 56 and posts her pictures even in erotic underwear so cool, as she would wear a simple outfit. She gives me the courage to show mor e skin and not to hide behind oversized clothes. Thank you Conny for being so awesome!

Now back to the blouse - to say the truth I would never buy something like that. I always was scared of pieces with a hight neckline and without sleeves. But after trying that on I thought "wow". I liked what I saw and now I am thinking about buying another piece like this, but with sleeves for fall and winter.

I found the kimono at Primark for about 5€. Of course Primark doesn't have a plus size section but some kimonos and jackets fits to a size 52 too. Firstly I thought to shorten the kimono, but after a walk (when the pics were shot) I decided to leave it how it is.

Sephora GlamGlow FlashMud Workshop

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)
 GlamGlow FlashMud Workshop with Talika

It's been some time since I enrolled myself into a consumer workshop. I remember how much fun it is just to chillax and enjoy a workshop without worrying about taking every detail in thought and pictures from every corner. I did take pictures still but that's just for fun. So I was lucky enough to be able to join Sephora's GlamGlow FlashMud Workshop for Sephora Black Card members today. My session was at 3pm - 5pm and there was a morning se ssion at 11am - 1pm at Chinoz by the Park, KLCC. Here's some pictures of the fun workshop today.

(she will be guiding us on the hands on skincare regime)

that's my best friend, I pointed to her when trainer asks for volunteers
(she protest in happiness though)

each table had Talika & GlamGlow products ready

Sephora Black Card Members getting their hands on experience

They should do this more often. This workshop was informative and fun, not too serious or filled with scientific blabber which I don't need to hear. The main objective of the workshop was to introduce the launch of GlamGlow's latest mask called FlashMud. Each table had all the collection under GlamGlow ready for us to try. We could take our pick of either the YouthMud, SuperMud, ThirstyMud, PowerMud or F lashMud to use for cleansing and masking. I had been wanting to try their mud to foam cleansers for a long time so this workshop was fantastic. The PowerMud comes with a cleanser which is unique from the rest because it has mud to foam and oil section. It's a 2-in-1 cleanser that also can remove makeup! All cleansers are priced at RM149.

my damage & goodies from workshop

Impressed with GlamGlow's products. Me and my bff Wing bought the cleanser and masks (YouthMud & FlashMud RM255 each) after the workshop at Sephora, KLCC. We wanted to buy the Talika energy boosters as well but for the price of nearly RM600 a pop, we couldn't bring ourselves to pay even with a 10% discount. We rather spend our money buying many products. As with all consumer workshops, there's always a promotion at the end. For every purchase of RM500, we could get a RM50 rebate. For purchases above RM900, it was a RM100 rebate (not applicable for 10% discount on Talika boosters). GWP (gift with purchase) today was free 3pc travel size GlamGlow masks for RM400 above purchase and 6pc for RM800 above purchases.

This is Wing's first time trying GlamGlow and I was "poisoning" her on how good it is so she bought the products haha. We both got 3pc samples which was really worth it as the 3pc is equivalent to a full size mask worth RM255! (WOOHOOOOO). Along with joining the workshop, we receive Talika voucher for a free eye pampering session which Wing needed so much (she's insomniac), some masks and a travel size GlamGlow PowerMud mask.

I do wish the goodie bag was at least a full size product or a 3pc gift set would be really cool. Anyway I hope to see more consumer workshops like these because it gives us a chance to try out products (especially latest products) and decide if it's worth to purchase after. Workshops like these also comes with promotions to entice shoppers at the end to spent money haha. Which I don't mind if I like the products! Fun day :) I'm happy with my latest haul and a great time at the workshop with my bff. We haven't seen each other for so long and it was great hanging out again at activities like this.
