I’ve decided to test my own willpower. I’ve already done a week without wheat/gluten and I’d like to try going a week without tumblr, a week without TV, a week without twitter (easy), a week without eating stupid things (really should do this always). I’m obviously not going to do them all at once.

A week without:

• Wheat/gluten
• Tumblr
• TV
• Twitter
• Eating stupid things
• Going to bed after midnight, getting up after 8.30

Any suggestions for more “week without”-challenges? :)

Just ordered this yesterday! Looking forward to getting it in the mail :)

I am appalled to say that I agree with an article from Lainey Gossip (I probably agree because it wasn’t written by Lainey). Also appalled that I’m actually posting a link to her site, but it’s actually completely spot on what’s written in the article. If you’re a tall girl like me (5’9.5”) you’ll know exactly what they’re talking about. Give it a read.

But a tall girl – from the age of about 12 or 13, she knows she’s not ‘cute’. Not adorable. She can’t wear babydoll dresses sometimes, because they look like she’s a child who can’t stop wearing her childhood things. She’s never going to be the kind of girl whose boyfriend rests his chin on her head while they attend a concert.

The tall girl is supposed to be able to protect herself. From childhood, she looks older and much less silliness is tolerated from her. Tall girls are expected to be more mature and responsible. In hetero couples with a tall man and short women, he often puts the guiding hand on the small of her back to make sure she’s OK. You rarely see that with a tall woman (which means that for me at least, when it does happen, it’s kind of kryptonite [Me too! Us tall girls want to feel small and protected too! (my comment)]).
