How To Get Back To Healthy Eating Habits After Thanksgiving

We all know that Thanksgiving can take a toll on us, especially in regards to our weight (if ya know what I'm saying). That damn turkey did it again! Anyway, here are some ways you can get back on track and maintain healthy eating habits, for the better.

Drink plenty of water!


Water is zeo calories and is the best way to stay hydrated, lose weight, and flush out harsh toxins all at once. Drink up!

Remember, moderation is key.


This means, just eat the amount of food your body actually needs. If you're full, don't keep eating that slice of pizza! You can eat what you want, but portion control exactly how much you eat. Now, I'm not recommending you eat half of a pizza every day and you'll lose weight. No, pizza is carbs and it won't help you lose any weight! But for example, eat a slice once a week. That is moderation.

Reduce your sugar intake.


Avoid sugar drinks at any cost. That goes for soda, juice, and yes, alcohol. But, sometimes you need that drink, so do you and have some fun once in a while! But remember, all processed and packaged foods most likely contain a good amount of sugar too, so avoid those, Cut down on the obvious—desserts! Instead, eat food with natural sugars in them, such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter.

Make fruits and veggies your best friend.


These are all low in calories and very nutritionally dense, which means they're all stacked up with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber! Eat the recommended five servings a day of each, and it'll definitely fill you up and help avoid those harsh toxins.

All of these can be easily done—just work at it. It does take time!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
