    Helloooo!

    I am very much into the craft but havn't practised it for a while, I guess I felt I havn't needed to :) I do tend to follow a more pagan path, I love nature and I do try to celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats but I don't worship any Gods or Goddess' :) I love meeting people who are interested in it...

    Cellulite?

    I have cellulite on my thighs, it's really annoying, I'd heard that brushing it makes it dissapear too, so I brush my thighs in the shower with a shower scrubby brush thingy lol I got mine from a cheapy shop, it has the brush on one side and these nobbly bits on the other to massage :)

    Weight vs Dress size?

    I'm 5'7, 27, and weigh 16 stones 10 pounds and wear a size 20, I usually need a 22 dress, so it doesn't cling to me or so my bum doesn't lift it up lol I can fit into size 18 bottoms but I like my bottoms really loose and baggy, 18's can be clingy on my thighs :S
