Hey there!! Yes, it’s actually me… Corin!

Welcome to our new webpage. We are so excited to have you join us on OurNaturistLife’s journey!

So… who is Corin?

Great question!

Honestly, I don’t think I’m all that complicated (though some might disagree!). I’m a pretty simple girl and naturist woman. I’m the more introverted one of the two of us, if you haven’t already figured that out by now.

And yes, I may ramble… but that’s just me. It’s how I think, how I process, and how I connect.

But to really know me, you need to know a bit of my journey…

Life Before OurNaturistLife: A Turning Point

I won’t go all the way back to my beginnings so lets just start with 2009 when my life was flipped upside down. My relationship ended, and I became a single mom raising two teenage boys. I worked multiple jobs just to stay afloat and make sure my growing boys were taken care of the best I could. We had good times, and some incredibly challenging ones too.

That’s when my anxiety really began to show up more, and my introverted nature became even stronger. Then, in 2014, we faced the loss of my dad from cancer. My amazing sister took care of him in her home during his last year, and for that I’ll always be grateful.

As my boys grew older and began carving out their own paths, I realized I needed to start thinking about me again. So I did something that terrified me, I made an online dating profile. Yep. I thought, “Good grief, it has come to this.”

And then this man sent me a message.

Enter Kevin… and a New Chapter

In 2014, I got a message from some guy named Kevin. I didn’t even have any photos up yet and I wish I could remember what my profile actually said back then. But his message said something like… “I don’t normally message women without a photo, but (blah blah blah) in your profile grabbed my attention.” Nope. Still no idea what it was!

We started talking, a lot. There was one night, we were texting each other. He was working in another province at the time and each of us were in our beds. I had sent him a recent photo of me and he said “Do you want to see me under the covers?” Now… I was thinking what kind of a creeper is this guy. But I went along… maybe I was curious where this was going. He sent me this:

I think he had me at that point. We finally met in person and started dating. It wasn’t all roses and rainbows. We both had baggage and we both had some emotional walls to overcome (Kevin’s might have been heavier and higher than mine, he may argue that!). But there was something about him. The vulnerability he was sharing about his illness and there was a kindness in his heart.

I was still finalizing my separation. Yes, over five years later! And shortly after we began dating, life threw me some more responsibilities. I moved my mom in with me, as her rheumatoid arthritis made it too hard for her to live on her own anymore. Then, not long after, my granny moved in too. Our house was getting full, and fast. It made it very difficult for me to think about leaving the home to move in with Kevin one day.

After a few years, my boys, now young men, made a selfless choice. They would stay home to help with the house and be there if either of their grandmas needed anything. The grandmas could take care of themselves and each other, but they needed help with everything else.

Of course, you all remember Covid hitting in 2020. So after almost 6 years and staying at his house more than actually going home, I finally moved in with Kevin. If you also remember from one of our previous blogs, it was earlier in this year that we discovered naturism.

It was something we’d wanted to do for a while, but with so many people depending on me, it wasn’t simple. When we finally found a balance that worked for everyone, I made the move, and with it, our next chapter began. Unfortunately, in early 2021, my Mom also passed away. This was a very tough time for me.

My thoughts on Nudity and Being a Naturist Woman

I don’t remember ever being shy about nudity. Maybe it comes from my own upbringing and also raising two boys from a very young age. I didn’t fall into the trap of body shaming myself as a teenager and carrying that emotional load. I didn’t have time for it.

I have seen my body change. After children. After my first surgery. Then after my hysterectomy. The weight has gone up and down many times. The boobs get bigger when I gain weight but so does the ass and when I try to shrink my ass then the boobs dissappear. God is cruel! Scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and celulite, OH MY! It’s a frustrating cycle of acceptance I am still working on.

Becoming even more comfortable with being naked came after meeting Kevin. We would wear less and less around his home and be nude in the hot tub or in his back yard together in the country. Being a city girl, this was a new experience for me. Exciting yet comfortable. And then after he moved into his new home with the pool, well, it just became natural to be more naked.

But in front of strangers??? WTF?

So on the day Kevin messaged me saying, “I did something?!”… apprehensively I asked, “What did you do?” He goes on to tell me that he booked us a few days at a clothing-optional resort while we were in Roatan for our 2020 vacation.

UHHHHH WHAT?! Holy smokes. My heart sank into my stomach, and I honestly thought he had lost his mind. FEAR hit me first. What the hell?!

After processing it for a bit, the questions started pouring in… lots of questions. Kevin had some answers, but for others, we had to rely on the internet, looking up things like etiquette, standards, and what to expect as newbies. This is one of the reasons we started off with the five part series for couples interested in naturism.

Still full of fear and anxiety, I prepared for the trip, by overpacking and bringing WAY too many clothes… just in case!

My first Naturist Experience

When we arrived, my nerves and anxiety were off the chart!. Honestly, I could’ve stayed in our room and been perfectly fine with that. We unpacked, got settled… me definitely stalling… until I finally agreed to go for a walk, just to get a feel for the place.

Now, the full story is already out there, so I won’t bore you with repeating it. But I do want to share my side of it, especially how I felt.

I was full of fear, nervousness, and just a tiny bit of excitement. On our walk, I scanned the beach area, taking mental notes about the layout and where all the “players” were. As we wandered along the more secluded trails, I started feeling a bit braver. Maybe I could take my top off, I thought. And I did! Easy peezy!

That is… until we passed a group of fully dressed people on the trail. I immediately tried to cover up. It probably looking more ridiculous than if I’d just said “hello” and kept walking. My top went back on, and the fear of the next couple of days staying here started to creep back in. I thought to myself, I don’t know if I can do this.

Later, as we got ready to head to the beach, I explained to Kevin what I’d noticed earlier. I told him, “We have to go to the far side… where the nude people are.” So that was the plan. If we were going to get nude, we had to go where nudity was happening.

When we got there, I was instantly overwhelmed. I thought, Okay, I’ll just start with my top and ease into it. But as I’m saying this to Kevin, I turn around… and he’s already naked. Really?!

Eventually, I worked up the courage to take off my bottoms and walk into the ocean. I was scared, nervous… but once I got in, I turned around and looked back at the beach—and realized… no one cared. No one was staring. No one was judging me.

All that anxiety? For nothing.

And the rest is history!

Do I still get nervous, anxious, and scared? Yes. Every time we go somewhere new. But now, it’s less about being naked and more just about me. Because it’s who I am that matters. Those feelings can come with anything new.

Finding Comfort in Vulnerability

During COVID, naturism became more than just something we did after I moved in, it became a lifestyle.

I was still working during Covid but moved to night shift as the place I worked was closed but still required 24 hour security. And with Kevin being immunocompromised, a decontamination routine was created for when I got home to try to protect him.

Kevin was working from home, so most days he just had a “work shirt” on… and no pants! You know for the online meetings. The “Donald Duck”!

That “decontamination routine” I just mentioned. I would come home, undress in the laundry room and put my clothing in the wash. Then jump into the shower and come out all clean, decontaminated… and naked. It became part of our rhythm. There we would be, Kevin in his work shirt and no pants (still makes me laugh), and me, finally naked and relaxed.

What started as necessity turned into comfort. We found joy in just being together naked. In letting go of layers. It was talking, laughing, and living our lives, raw, real, and unfiltered. Just acceptance.

My Day Job, and My People

In everyday life, I work in security, a job I genuinely love. What draws me to it isn’t just the structure or the routine, but the people (which is weird for an introvert).

I interact with individuals from all walks of life. I see people who are thriving and those who are struggling, with mental health, addiction, homelessness, you name it.

Naturism changed how I see people. It made me better at my job.

It’s helped me see people in a completely different light. I no longer just see a uniform on my coworkers, or look at an outward appearance of a customer, guest or people on the street. I see the person. A human deserving of respect, compassion, and an open mind.

And that’s what naturism is to me.

It’s not just about being naked, it’s about being real. It’s about being seen for who you are, not what you wear.

There’s something incredibly powerful about standing in your most vulnerable state, yet feeling your most secure. When everyone around you is just as open, just as raw, it strips away the barriers. You connect on a deeper level. You hear stories differently. You see people differently.

A Little Bit of Personality

So yes, this is me. And I ramble. A lot as you can tell.

In my uniform, I might look just like every other security officer, but I’ve always made an effort to show a bit of me. A bit of my personality. Because wearing a uniform all day takes some of that away. So maybe some brightly colored hair. Nail colors that reflect my mood or creativity. Just little hints that I’m not like everyone else. That I’m approachable. That I see you.

That love for self expression is also why I became a Color Street Stylist. I’ve always loved how a fun, bold nail design can change your mood, spark a conversation, or simply make you feel more you. It’s a creative outlet, and honestly, it just brings joy. And I find it does the same for me in naturism. The nail colors let me express a bit of my personality when we are all naked among others.

Recently, I also took on another exciting role, as a Founding Ambassador with ABBI Skincare. ABBI is all about the next generation of natural skin care products utilizing Artificial Intelligence for real time facial skin analysis. So, the skincare product is custom made and tailored to your specific skins needs. As naturists, we all know how important the “skin we are in” is! It’s also another way of empowering others to feel confident in their skin, naturally. It really aligns with my values around authenticity, wellness, and self care.

So Here We Are…

I’m just Corin.

Quiet. Thoughtful. A little shy. A little strong. Maybe a bit hard-headed. But with a big heart. And that heart is fulfilled.

A security guard by day. Naturist woman by night. A Color Street nail lover and passionate ABBI skincare advocate all the time. A woman who’s lived a lot of life and finally found the freedom to just be.

This is just the beginning of our story, and a small part of my previous story. Thanks for being here. I’m so grateful you’re on this journey with us.
