Hi, my name is Caitlin. I've been in recovery from my eating disorder since October 2012.

Atkins Commercials

“When carb cravings hit…hit back!”

No why don’t you eat some carbs because that’s what your body is craving? It’s sending you signals for a reason. How is it okay for these commercials to tell you to go against what your body is telling you it needs?

Canadians:

Reasons To Be Happy:

Dead trees still stand and so can you.

You have five fingers on each hand. One day those fingers will travel from your lap to someone else’s and that person will know all the bad stuff and still want to kiss you. 

Seasons are guaranteed when nothing else seems to be.

ATTENTION ARTISTS: Need help calculating your commission prices?

A tool that I’ve found is really handy is a called the Cash Clock. It’s a simple program that measures both the time that you’re working on a piece as well as how much money you should be earning. You can adjust the hourly wage to whatever you feel is right. Simply start the clock whenever you begin working on a project right up until you’re finished. It can give you a clear indication of what you should charge for commissions.

No artist should make below minimum wage for their artwork.

The Cash Clock is found as a download here.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THIS INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEANUTS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK. 

Please, please, please at least make sure you’re making minimum wage.

Shakuntala Devi, an Indian mental calculator,was asked to give the 23rd root of a 201-digit number; she answered in 50 seconds. Her answer was confirmed by calculations done at the US Bureau of Standards for which a special program had to be written to perform such a large calculation.

who you are in high school is not who you will be in college and who you are in college is not who you will be when you are 30.

when you accept that you are malleable and ever-changing, you will be less resistant to new ways of thinking and being and you will grow into the beautiful person you are meant to become.

resist the urge to remain stagnant. there are always things to learn about the world and yourself. let yourself learn them.

NPR’s wide-ranging interview with President Obama covered his strategy fighting ISIS, the 2016 elections, his legacy and the Paris climate deal.

NPR’s Steve Inskeep then asked the president about a hypothetical interview: What would Obama want to ask the next person to have his job?
