Lauren Orsini: Here’s what the magazines tell me:... →
This is my friend Lauren, who is a fabulous writer and journalist and also in the midst of planning her wedding. Any professional woman who has been through wedding planning can relate.

DFTBA: (TW: Rape) Over It. →
nerd-fighter:
I am over rape.
I am over rape culture, rape mentality, rape pages on Facebook.
I am over the thousands of people who signed those pages with their real names without shame.

sugar thighs

Just for the record, my thighs touch. They always have. They probably always will. I’ve been doing yoga for 13 years, I’m a yoga teacher, and I consider myself a pretty healthy person. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little thigh fat. That’s where all the sugar goes, which is why they’re so sweet.

depth. Lost at sea before they fought! O
star of...

Musings of an Inappropriate Woman: The number one... →
I love this post because it is exactly what I believe about my role in the world right now. I find that the more I praise, encourage, support and cheer on my friends (and random strangers on the internet who I think are cool), the happier and more inspired I am. Try it. You’ll see what we’re talking about!
