Thinspiration

Fashion blogs get a lot of media attention but as of late "thinspiration" or "thinspo" blogs have been gaining negative attention. These "pro-ana" blogs promote anorexia through pictures of extremely thin females and tips to help avoid eating.

I am happy to introduce you to this new monthly edition to my blog!

Sometimes there are things that make me smile when I am feeling down or things that I find to make life easier. On the first week of every month I want to share those things with you. I will also share things I'm craving.

   

My idea is to later pull from these lists for giveaways*.
