About FFPCollective
FFP Collective is a practical lifestyle space for older Gen X adults and people in midlife who want to live well in the bodies they have right now. Around here, that means real food, useful wellness, personal style, home life, work, and the everyday adjustments that come with getting older without turning life into a punishment plan.
This work grows out of Full Figure Plus, the site I started back in 2002. What began as a way to help my wife find clothes that actually worked for her became something larger: a place centered on plus-size fashion, lifestyle, community, and honest perspective.
That chapter taught me how often bigger people are overlooked and how much it helps to have spaces that feel real instead of performative. FFP Collective is the next chapter, but it does not throw that history away. Evolving to include men and women Gen Xers as we get older.
A broader focus with content about cooking, fresh-milled flour, practical wellness, style, and what it means to keep living fully when your body, your priorities, change. In a nutshell that’s the perspective that shapes this site.
I am building FFP Collective not to shame anyone. I know of trends and internet perfection, but have no time or energy for them. The content you will find here is based of things I am actually doing or have done. Practical ideas, lived experience, and habits that make life better without making life smaller.
My goal is simple: I want to create a place where Generation X can find information on cooking, wellness, fashion, and community without all of the loud internet nonsense and have some fun at the same time.

Glen Johnson—an older Gen X’er who’s watched trends come and go. I even stepped aside for a few years after my original blog Full Figure Plus shut down years ago.
I like to read, watch anime, tinker around in the kitchen and enjoy a cigar and a glass of tea.
I have been married to my lovely wife Twanna for over 20 years. She was my muse for my original blog and while she will be a part of what I create going forward, FFP Collective will expand beyond plus size fashion to look at another underserved community. Generation X. In particular us older Gen Xer’s.
The road I am traveling with FFP Collective is different but classic Glen in that I like a challenge and prefer not to do things according to the rules of the establishment.
