Ambassador Spotlight: Mindy Nienhouse (aka me!) via FitFluential: shameless self-promotion
FitFluential is about being healthy and happy, and inspiring others to find the path that leads them to the same.

Beyonce’s Unflattering Photos Were a Good Thing via The Sweet Life
If anything, I think the photos getting splashed around are a positive for a culture of young women (and men for that matter) who are constantly inundated with the “unreal.”
People Today Are Happier Than Ever, Study Says via Greatist
Researchers were interested in two basic issues: how well-being changes across the lifespan, and how it varies between people born at different times.
The Power of Habit Investments via Zen Habits: one of my favorite blogs! This is a really great post, per the usual.

why paleo wasn’t for me via Fitting It All In: bio-individuality FTW!

Vegetarian Buffalo Chicken Dip via The Wannabe Chef: yum! Buffalo chicken dip was always a favorite, can’t wait to try this veg-friendly version!

I was mean to myself about my lack of willpower, and my ugly fat body*. Whatever my size, I was unhappy with it.
21 Things We All Need via Thought Catalog: love pretty much everything about this post.
