I need your help | What about me?

September 29, 2010 beauty September 29, 2010

As many of you know, I am redesigning FIToriBLOG again. You’ll see the new design soon! It’s a really tough process to try to find a logo and design that captures I am and what I see for my brand, which essentially is me and what I want for myself and all of you. I want it to be feminine yet strong. It’s a tough process! I think we’re there. I have included a sneak peak… Don’t be surprised if one day soon the new blog looks something like this pic above! I can’t wait! I’ve been working on my About Me info for my new blog layout and remembered advice from that author of the book Operation Beautiful. Her advice is shown below…. And, ...

strong female leads | Fall TV lineup

September 4, 2010 women September 4, 2010

A few years ago when I was looking for Netflix to recommend movies and TV shows for me, Netflix told me that I liked “strong female leads.” Why yes, Netflix! You are so smart! I DO like shows with strong female leads! One of my favorite shows was Alias partially because Jennifer Garner kicks ass! I definitely recommend Alias though the last few seasons (if I recall) weren’t quite as good as the first few. This morning on the Today Show they did a story that the Fall TV Lineup for 2010 has a lot of new shows that have a Strong Female Lead or a Female Heroine. Yay! I love to hear that! I can’t wait to check them out. A few that they ...

emmy awards | muscles are sexy

August 31, 2010 beauty August 31, 2010

You all know by now that I love muscles! I love the physique of a tough, strong, muscular woman. I have a great respect for women who work hard to stay lean and strong now that I’ve done it! It’s hard work! My idea of a strong and healthy physique has changed. I no longer think that 6% body fat is sexy. BUT, I still think that a muscular physique on a woman is sexy! What could be better than a woman who is strong and healthy enough to live?? I love that some of these ladies are NOT in their 20′s and they are still strong and sexy!!! I hope to look as rockin’ as they do as I age! I thought I’d share some ...

Class Action North Country

January 9, 2010 books January 9, 2010

Yeah yeah, I’m supposed to be working on my Masters Paper today but I’m writing it on hostile work environment sexual harassment cases and I pulled out the book “Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law” and thought I’d be sure to let you all know what a GREAT read it is! Above is the movie poster from the movie that was written based on the same book. I, personally, liked the book better, but then I always do (except for The Notebook…sorry Nicholas Sparks). The book was assigned reading in one of my Political Science classes….still love ya Prof. Sterett!! I couldn’t put the book down. The book is a quick read and it’s SO ...

January 3, 2010 inspiration January 3, 2010

In honor of my last post about Fitness Logs, I thought I’d share an image I had glued onto one of mine for a while. I love the ad. Hopefully I haven’t blogged about it before and just forgotten! But, I don’t advocate Hydroxycut. Love the ad, but I don’t think supplements like this are necessary! Just my personal opinion!

The Truth About Online Anorexia (BBC)

December 19, 2009 eating disorders December 19, 2009

Just thought I’d briefly share this documentary that is very interesting. I’ve been aware of these pro-ana websites for years….about a decade. The documentary calls these sites “new” but they are not new at all. When I was suffering from my eating disorder, I visited some of these sick pro-ana sites for inspiration. I understand that anorexia isn’t just about food and exercise, or about a low body image. There is MUCH more to it! But, I feel and hope that by giving kids the tools they need to eat healthy and exercise appropriately in order to achieve or maintain a normal body weight and stay healthy, we can give kids some control over their weight the HEALTHY AND FIT way and maybe save some ...
