~advice….
Sounds stupid, but don’t hold on to clothes that don’t fit! It’s a lot easier to feel confident stepping out of the door when everything you grab in your closet accentuates your frame.
P.s. it saves a TON of time

– One year ago I wrote this self made quote. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I held myself to it and how much understanding this concept has done for me. I am not the smartest person out there but I really do believe that understanding the reality that there are always challenges that always...

bicycling - my new "thing"
I recently started up a new hobby. Cycling.
I never really thought it would be an activity that I would find myself doing, but nonetheless I have taken to it well. Like many people out there I have always owned a bike and somehow just let it sit in the shed gathering dust. But recently my bf got interested in fixing up his bike. I am an active person, so I felt like it’d be another great way...

patience, diligence and opportunity
Many people are in a rush to do great things. But make sure you are trying to do great things with patience, diligence and the ability to see opportunity where others may not.
I’m by no means and expert, but I can tell you from experience that being in a rush can prevent you from being thorough. If you are not being diligent you may prevent yourself from spotting an opportunity. And the...

"sweet sweet fantasy, baby" - MC
My drive home today was amazing. My sunroof was back, sunglasses were on and it was 80 degrees and sunny. I blasted 90’s Mariah Carey all the way home.
… I loved every moment of it.

fitvillains:
This post is for all ladies, but specifically ladies who’s hair… well… let’s just say those who’s hair is high maintenance.
Women of African American descent are specifically addressed, because this seems to be a bigger factor in getting them in the gym than their white counterparts. Black hair & sweat… well, they don’t mix.
Read the interview she gave below…

More yogurt lids !
Dannon also does lid donations… I’m submitting those online as well. Like I said before, I don’t have a ton of resources to make drastic change but if everyone makes even small efforts we can make significant progress towards our goals.

Trying to do my part in a way that I can afford
I’d like to think I am a giving person, most times without receiving anything in return but appreciation. I’m not sure where this came from, but I looked at my yogurt lid (Yoplait) and decided I’m going to start collecting and entering lids that earn money for the Susan G. Komen foundation.
Just trying to do my part. See what ways there are for you to give as well.

How to Play Left Field at Job Interviews →
If, while interviewing for a job, you get a hard drive into left field (the zany realm of irregular and unnerving queries and comments that job candidates have suffered during interviews), you have several options.
Ignore it
Strike back
Have fun with it
Run with it
Use it to your advantage
Write it off
Great advice!
