Im sure youve seen this. The Abercrombie and Fitch CEO made some troubling comments about only wanting thin, attractive people wearing his clothing line.

So in November I wrote a post about pv.body. The deal was 20% off of your first order and you get nice workout clothes from various companies (nike, lululemon, nux etc).

In October Im waking up before the sun. Something old me would have thought completely ridiculous. In case you missed it, I turned 30 last month and have decided to celebrate my year with new goals each month. September was 30 days of yoga. It went well.
