Self-employment can be the best thing in the world, but it can also be an incredible challenge. I wake up each day and everything is up to me. Outside of my clients & classes, no one really cares what I do. No one asks me the status of my latest blog post, what I’m doing...

#9: Thinspirations on Pinterest
Source: get-thinspiration.tumblr.com via Steevy on Pinterest I love Pinterest as much as the next girl, but lately I’ve been bothered by the increased presence of “thinspiration” boards.
