I just realised it's not the aesthetics of a guy's body that makes me look again and again or perhaps even stare, it's the stupidly cute little things they do with it they make me want to continue watching in a never ending loop.

10 things to start doing in 2016

1: Be kind, say hello to strangers passing by and take time out of your day to help a friend out.

2: Stay calm, don’t let small things intimidate you, don’t let anything big or small bother you. Stay calm and stay true to your intentions.

3: Allow yourself to feel, get out of your town and explore, make the most of your time here on this earth, head to a foreign town and visit a cute cafe, head to the beach and feel your toes beneath the sand, get up early and watch the sunset, ride your bike and take in your surroundings, live a life worth living.

4: Be the person other people fall in love with, be someone who smiles at the smallest things in life, be someone who sings at the top of their lungs and isn’t afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone. Be someone other people can’t get enough of.

5: Live for the small things, smile at the little bugs and take in the details of the falling leaves, look up at the clouds and make shapes, appreciate when people compliment you and smile at couples holding hands.

6: Unleash your inner free spirit, randomly go on roadtrips, go outside, immerse in the sea and meet new people. Say hello to new faces and tell them about your day, head to a foreign town and be a traveller.

7: Just do it, do the things you have always wanted to do, get that piercing, wear that new skirt, try that new eyeliner trick, whatever goal or dream you have, start it now and become who you want to be.

8: Change, don’t be scared to change your choices, break away from negative people in your life, leave the town and your worries with it, it’s never too late to change who you are.

9: Take time for yourself, run a hot bath and fill it with bubbles, buy and new soap and get to know the back of your neck and your inner thighs, paint your nails and meditate deeply. Take time to reflect on your day.

10: Stop waiting, stop waiting for things to happen to you, stop waiting for happiness or a best friend, stop waiting for a boy to like you or for a sunny day. Get out there and smile, meet new people and dance in the rain. Make the most of every single second you have because time flies and before you know it, you will be wishing you put your phone down to go on that road trip or smile at that boy. Life’s short, make the most of it.

Zucchini & Haloumi Fritters

These low carb fritters remind me of potato latkes (ie. the best damn hash browns in the world), and yet have no starchy crap in them! Yum.

Fudgy Paleo Brownies

[nidaime-ai]

Quinoa stew! Made with 2 courgettes (cubed), 1 onion (sliced), tomatoes (1 can chopped tomatoes), butter beans (one small can) and quinoa. Fry onions and courgettes in oil, add chopped tomatoes and a little water and cook till courgettes are softened. Add salt and sugar to adjust flavour to your liking. Add butter beans and cooked quinoa till everything is warmed through, add dried basil and serve! I added a little cheese to mine afterwards because melting cheese is 💖

If you aren’t totally quaking in your boots at the news of millions of bees dead, yet again, you’re nuts.

[unclegrandpaapologist-deactivat]

this should be concerning a lot more people than it is

not only because bees are one of the most important animals in the world and their job is a lot more than gathering honey but also because they are what scientists refer to as an “indicator species”

this means that when their populations start dwindling and then rapidly dropping, humans need to watch their shit because that means that environmental factors are too difficult for THEM to live in, so it might be difficult for US to live in, too. bees basically act as an indication that humans have a lot to worry about and when they start dying like this it deserves a lot more than a few headlines.

[yourbestfriendemily-deactivated]

last year my biggest worry was the steep decline in bee population and apparently thats not about to change anytime soon. people have told me to my face that they think its strange I’m so concerned for the bees. read this you selfish fucks

[thats-so-ravenloft]

Get excited, motherfuckers.  Without bees, we will die off.  Bayer and Monsanto continue to produce the chemicals that have been proven to kill them, and the government has their backs.  Bees pollinate 30% of our food in the US and we are passing legislation to PROTECT the scumbags responsible for killing them.

I preach this shit to everyone who will listen and I always get “WAAAAH I HATE BEES THEY STING AND THEY ARE BIG MEANIES!” but think about your future life without kiwis, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, sunflowers, cotton, apples, plums, pears, mustard, celery, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, beans, cherries, melons, turnips, canola oil, alfalfa, soybeans, lemons, oranges, and I could go on forever.

Bees are amazing creatures who are responsible for the comfortable lives we lead in this country and we cannot sustain and feed our population without them.

Alright you guys, there’s a good amount of notes on this but it’s only making us aware of the problem, not telling us what we can do to help. We can do something to help and YOU CAN HELP, YES THAT MEANS YOU. ALL YOU NEED IS DIRT, A FEW BUCKS, AND A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME TO MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE, LITERALLY. 

Plant flowers that bees like and that attract them.

Bees prefer flowers that are blue, purple, and yellow. Choose flowers that bloom successively over the spring, summer, and fall seasons such as coreopsis, Russian sage, or germander. They especially love clover! Other plants include sage, salvia, oregano, lavender, ironweed, yarrow, yellow hyssop, alfalfa, honeywort, dragonhead, echinacea, bee balm, buttercup, goldenrod and English thyme. Buy seeds online.

GET RID OF THE PESTICIDES!!

If pesticides are killing off the bees so easily, what do you think it’s doing to us? The EPA says studies have shown pesticides can cause birth defects, nerve damage, and cancer. There are other ways to get rid of pests in the garden than using chemicals. Organic Garden Pests shows you how to keep off the bugs the organic way.

Give the bees a free home!

Giving bees a “bee block” alone is a huge load off their backs! You can buy homes here or  You can even build your own. 

Please, if you have already reblogged this, reblog this is again with what I have posted onto it so you know what you can do to help. We can make a difference.

Taking a break from our usual creepy content, to show this powerful comparison. To top it off, I have a muslim friend who was told by his mother,  “Never do anything big. The world’s not ready for you or anyone like us.”

This world needs to change.

It sucks when someone you have feelings for doesn’t share those feelings; it happens to women all the time, too. We hear “I just want to be friends” and “you’re like one of the guys” and “you’re like a sister to me” just as often. But you’ll never hear a woman complain that guys just don’t appreciate a Nice Girl because we’re taught it’s our own fucking fault when we’re rejected—we aren’t pretty enough or thin enough or sexy enough, we weren’t sexual enough or were too sexual, we put out too much or too little or too soon or not soon enough, we didn’t wear our hair the right way or our skirt the right length, we’re “too tomboyish” or “too butch” or “too feminine”, or we’re “not their type”, or we’re otherwise not good enough in various ways to entice the man to grace us with his affection. But when we’re not interested in someone, we’re vilified. We’re the bitch that lead them on, the bitch who let them buy us dinner but didn’t want to date them, the bitch who doesn’t appreciate a nice guy, the bitch they were nice to and then got nothing in return from. And, frankly, fuck those people. Showing interest in me, being friendly with me, getting close to me, or eating a meal with me (even if they paid for it) doesn’t obligate me to open my heart or my legs. And anyone who doesn’t appreciate my friendship sure as hell doesn’t deserve my love or my pussy.

LifeStraw purifies water instantly and inexpensively: it is a solution that can provide millions of under-privileged people with safe drinking water.

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR TUMBLR TO GET WIND OF THIS

[notsofamiliaralien-deactivated2]

I’ll always signal boost this because not only does this work for people in under privilege areas it’s also proof of human ingenuity.

Really, we kids that grew up in the early 90s were all told about how we had to conserve water because drinkable water was such a rare resource and people in foreign lands were basically fucked up the ass because there was no way for them to get drinking water. 20 years and 20 bucks later one of the biggest problems humanity faced is a non issue. THAT’S FUCKING CRAZY!

[ihatethatimstillonthissite]

Somebody should start one of those online donate things where people can donate money to buy these to send to areas with unsafe drinking water. But somebody other than me should do it because I don’t know how to do that kind of thing or get the word out.

[hatingeverything]

this is amazing

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

FYI to everyone, if you purchase a LifeStraw through EarthEasy, they will send you a LifeStraw and also send one to the Philippines (through the Rotary Water Projects) so that the victims of Typhoon Haiyan can have safe drinking water. So if you were thinking of buying one, buy through them, not Amazon. It’s the same price.

[visardist]

Follow-up to above, you also can donate directly to the LifeStraw fundraiserhere without needing to buy one for yourself. You have drinking water right now. You can wait to get this. They cannot.

Stuff I ate yesterday! I've been eating better over the last few days and I feel happier already because I've not been binge eating junk food! I hope I can keep it up because I like the feeling of being in control rather than caving into my junk food craving urges. The teh tarik is a super sweet Malaysian tea which was more of a treat, but because I allowed myself to have something small I didn't feel deprived and it really helped my cravings!
