The team at Pear Collections is thrilled to announce we officially now partnering with local and international online and bricks & motor Stockists!As you may know, Pear Collections, was created by Angie Martin, a Pear Shaped Woman, who has been struggling with loving herself and feeling comfortable in her skin since she was a child. It wasn’t until July 2019 when Angie realised that it doesn’t matter what we look like; what matters is accepting yourself for who you are and loving yourself for it. This realisation helped Angie understand that true beauty is being comfortable with who you are, and that being comfortable in your skin affects more than just your looks, it affects everything about you, and can even shape your experiences and how you perceive the world.

When it comes to dressing your body; no matter your shape, typically the ‘goal’ is to create the illusion of an hourglass shape.

We couldn’t be more thrilled to officially announce that Pear Collections and owner Angie Martin has been featured in the Tweed Daily News in partnership with the Sunshine Daily News and The Northern Star!The feature came about after Pear’s owner, Angie, did a post on her local Facebook Community Page celebrating the success of the business's first photo shoot. A fellow member of the group, Jessica Lamb saw the post and instantly connected with the brand; so much so she decided to include Pear Collections in a feature the Tweed Daily News was doing on Tweed Businesses.

When first creating Pear Collections my main mission was to eliminate the horrible relationship us pear shaped women have had with fashion. For years curvaceous and pear-shaped women have had to ‘deal with’ ill-fitting cloths that have simply not been made to fit them. After experiencing yet another horrible shopping trip back in July 2019 I had had enough with this unhealthy relationship and decided to do something about it; for all women’s sacks.

Feeling super unfit at the moment when you do attempt an intense workout, or even just a walk or grocery trip? Struggling like you're pushing sh*t uphill? If your overall activity levels are down, compared to the pre-ISO you, you may find that you’re feeling sluggish. Your aerobic capacity is probably considerably lower than what it was, so maybe you need some LISS.

As a Business Development Manager and Entrepreneur for both service and product-based businesses, I cannot stress the importance of professional photography enough to help overall brand growth. In knowing this, it saddened me to see such an important industry almost disappear overnight. Thankfully, through digital networking, I was able to find two fantastic female entrepreneurs whose passion matched my own in supporting female lead Australian small businesses.

Do you have a Pear Shaped Figure? If you’ve noticed that you have a particularly curvaceous bottom half while having narrow shoulders and a smaller bust, then it sounds like you can officially welcome yourself into the Pear Shaped Community.

In past articles, I discussed my involvement with Beck Smith and her business Babes, Bubbles & Business. As I mentioned, Beck is a fellow female entrepreneur (and momtrepreneur) who is passionate about showcasing, inspiring, and motivated like-minded women to reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives. Through her event business, she assists with connecting inspiring women to engage and network in a supportive and encouraging environment; something that is greatly needed right now.

You have no doubt been experiencing some degree of lock down of late. Has meant you have been less active? It certainly means you haven’t been hitting the gym. Whatever the case is, having access to limited equipment and limited space means you may have to do things differently.

Over the last little while, everything has changed. Thankfully, I came across Beck Smith, owner, and operator of Babes, Bubbles, and Business, through online networking. To help everyone feel connected and supported during these times of struggle Beck created her #changewithchange campaign. I was thrilled and honoured to join this campaign and be one of the female entrepreneurs putting their voice to helping small business owners through this tough time.

Every woman irrespective of her colour, size, or height should feel comfortable in her skin and clothing. Thankfully the world of Fashion is starting to come around to this concept. Now that more and more of us are becoming environmentally conscious, learning to love our bodies and working from home the Fashion Industry now has to catch up to our needs and wants. This means prioritizing lasting Comfort over Fast Fashion Trends. Hallelujah, I couldn’t be more thrilled!

In my twenties I have still been struggling with both loving myself and feeling comfortable in my own skin. It wasn’t until last year when I realised…it doesn’t matter what we look like; what matters is accepting yourself for who you are and loving yourself for it. I realised, that all these years of self-hate actually had very little to do with my looks or body shape but it had everything to do with me. This revelation helped me understand that true beauty is being comfortable with who you are and that being comfortable in your own skin affects more than just your looks. It affects everything about you and what you do.
