Bad News: Stress Fracture in My Foot. Good News: I’m Okay With It From Jenn: Bad News: Stress Fracture in My Foot. Good News: I’m Okay With It

How Being a Fit Bottomed Girl Has Changed Kristen’s Life From Kristen: How Being a Fit Bottomed Girl Has Changed Kristen’s Life

I grew up learning that bragging was bad. If you do something really, really well, it will be noticed and acknowledged, but you should never acknowledge your own accomplishments. It’s impolite.

When you look ahead, what do you want to see in the next five years? Credit: matsberWhat Do You Want to See in the Next Five Years?

Being vegan or gluten-free was “weird,”… Continue reading
