It’s far easier to stand in front of the mirror and pick out tiny flaws that stare back at you than it is to stand in front of the mirror and really practice loving your body. It’s a flaw that most women live with (it’s true…women aren’t perfect). However, it’s not the kind of body […] More
If your doctor told you to start taking a regular 30 minute nap, would you disagree? No, of course you wouldn’t disagree; he’s the doctor, after all.
