How To Get A "Bikini Body" Just In Time For Summer

From this headline, you probably assumed this article would be a hardcore workout routine. However, I’m here to tell you anyone can have a bikini body. It just begins with confidence.

I was flipping through the pages of Star magazine, and I didn’t come across one negative comment written about a celebrity’s body. They showed bikini bodies at all ages, and honestly, I think every single celebrity looked fabulous. The magazine is clearly becoming more tolerant of different body types and not passing judgement if a celebrity isn't a size double zero.

I don’t know where everybody got the idea that you have to be stick skinny to rock a bikini. It kills me when my friends who work out like crazy claim they still feel “fat.” I tell them, “Your body is beautiful just the way it is!”

Confidence comes from within. Just look at celebrities like Rihanna, Hilary Duff, Beyoncé and Khloe Kardashian. None of them are super-skinny, and they are all absolutely stunning. I’ve been seeing more and more “bikini body” campaigns showing off real women’s bodies too. Target, American Eagle and Dove are taking the world by storm with body-positive approaches.

This is a start to instilling confidence in young girls instead of insecurity. One day, hopefully soon, every fashion and beauty line will embrace a world without Photoshop, retouching or editing.

I came across the line, “Fashion isn’t a size, it’s an attitude,” and I could not agree more.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
