Best. Advice. Ever.
Oh, wonderful Michael Pollan. Your books on food and the food industry are as important and insightful as “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair was in the 1900s. Too bad lobbying only causes the FDA and USDA to turn a blind eye from the problems.
I wear a 10 in target jeans. Skinny jeans, a 12. I don’t wear those super low rise pants because I have this thing about my fupa hanging out. Tops I’m a medium (pause for your lols). I wear a size 6 shoe (sometimes a 6.5 for those pointy ass heels). I am 5’2 and weigh 155 lbs. I weighed 180 in Cleveland about six months ago but New York involves a lot of walking.
I’m perfectly fine with all of this information. I think I look fine, and if you think I’m fat or whatever, ok. Who cares. I have a job and friends and cats. I’m just a woman and these are all just a bunch of numbers that help me cover my body from the wind. None of it defines me.
I’m being honest because I’m sick of women online trying to justify why they wear a size 8 instead of a 4. Don’t you have something more important to base your self worth on?

I love every bit of this, but this is just the best: “I’m just a woman and these are all just a bunch of numbers that help me cover my body from the wind. None of it defines me.”

I try to teach my heart not to want things it can’t have.
Love is Powerful!: Saying Hello to The Invisible Children →
Want to do something for the black community, smile and say hello to a young person (13-23). Stop acting like they are invisible before they show you they aren’t. The next time you feel threaten just say hello and ask how their day has been. You may be surprised at the little child that comes out…
Book Club: What The Night Knows
When this book was suggested, i thought it was a murder/serial killer mystery book. I was so WRONG! I skipped the synopsis and dived right in only to later find out its a horror book *shivers*. It was creepy but…i don’t know….i wouldn’t recommend it. Not because its a horror but because it wasn’t a good horror book. I’ll just say that I liked it better as a movie…..when it was called Fallen!
Dean Koontz…i’ll give you one more try….later….but if you don’t come through for me I’ll have to put you on my “Do Not Read” list.
Nothing last forever. So while we’re here let us love one another
