backonpointe:

June includes a special calendar for people participating in the Pull-Up Challenge to keep you from overtraining!

The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says "Arms" and "General," I'd find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

If you'd like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag "BoP: June". By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let's all support each other on our journeys! (If you're not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page or the Back On Pointe Fitocracy Group!)

During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.

Have fun!

p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you're sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It's all about you!

the baking soda is to open to cuticle, acv to close it, coconut oil to penetrate the cortex, egg to strengthen it, honey for moisture because the process is drying. It's pretty ingenious if you…

If you can stand the smell mayo is a good alternative for eggs

So I set up a meeting with an advisor from my college for tomorrow

Hopefully they’ll be able to help me

Ugh I am so fucked D:

Ugh I am so fucked D:

I am nothing...

More and more lately I’ve been feeling really worthless, like seriously questioning my existence and wondering why I even exist.

No matter how much I busy my ass at work I never make enough and I can’t even do something as simple as going to school and getting decent grades. And it makes me feel worse to know there are people out there that can do school and work and so much more and I can barely drag myself out of bed to perform those two simple tasks. My body is tired, my mind is tired and doesn’t work like it used to anymore.

I feel worthless and alone and angry and no matter how much I tell myself to snap out of it or push myself to do better it always fails. Because I’m a failure and I can’t do anything right.

And I’m afraid to ask my family for help because they’ll get angry and ask how did this happen and I won’t be able to tell them because I don’t understand it myself. And I keep looking for a way out, but each decision I make seems to make everything worse.

I just don’t know what to do anymore…

Welp I think I finally killed my laptop D:

Missing girl. Akron, Ohio
My friend is missing guys. She had been gone since Friday. If you could reblog this and help me spread the word. It would be greatly appreciated. We just want her home safe!

Reblog if you're a Black Girl with Natural Hair!

time-to-be-natural:

I just want to know how many of us there are!

e_e

Seriously guy all I wanted was a burger

I don’t want you asking me what I just bought

I don’t need you to question whether or not I actually play video games

I don’t appreciate you holding my food from me, forcing me to have to come and talk to you

And I really don’t like the fact that you didn’t even have the decency to look me in the face during the entire time I had to interact with you

bad-dominicana:

How many times have I been followed by a car on a lonely street? Dear fucking god, my knees shake thinking about it.
Ive had variations of just one guy at the wheel, dude and a friend, a car full of men in a spacious van, a car w pimp lookin man and woman tryina lure me in,

it makes me thank everything im still alive every time, coz I dont know wtf youre capable of, and ive already been assaulted more than once,

Like, I have nightmares about it, meanwhile you think its cute.

This got me thinking about my job and how I sometimes have to take a different route home every morning because some dudes think its cute to wait for me to leave and follow me out the parking lot. Some days I’m so scared that I have to ask my boyfriend to follow me just in case.

If you have ever taken a razor blade to that beautiful body of yours, skipped one or more meals, cried yourself to sleep because you never thought you were good enough, attempted any sort of self harm, had thoughts of taking your own life, or actually tried it, HONESTLY reblog this.

shoutout to all the other ex-gifted & talented/honor student/straight a/senior editor/star student/99th percentile/once-creative burn-outs who have, since high school, realized they are truly miniscule fish in a giant, endless ocean, criticized themselves to the point of creative paralysis, and participated in so much self-sabotage they no longer see the point of doing anything at all because they're just going to ruin it for themselves anyway

Help "The Unwritten Rules" get funding for a Season 2!

Help "The Unwritten Rules" get funding for a Season 2! :

sourcedumal:

From the site:

"the Unwritten Rules" Web Series

When I wrote the book, "40 Hours and Unwritten Rule: The Diary of a Nigger, Negro, Colored, Black, African-American Woman" in 2003, I wanted to create a voice that had been silenced, judged, and disregarded. And eight years later, that voice was resurrected with "the Unwritten Rules". 

"the Unwritten Rules" is a web series based on the book, "40 Hours and Unwritten Rule" (Butterfly Ink Publishing, 2004). The series follows a Black woman's, Racey Jones, journey in a predominantly white workplace with real situations, truthful thoughts, and honest reactions. With Season 1, the voice was heard globally (ie. US, the UK, Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean) and embraced by Black & White and Young & Old. And for Season 2, we want to speak louder! But we can't do it without your help.

"the Unwritten Rules" stars Aasha Davis ('Pariah', 'South of Nowhere', 'Friday Night Lights'), Balbinka, Sara Finely, David Lowe, Kayla Ibarra, Ebenzer Quaye, and Antonio Ramirez. The series is Written and Executive Produced by me (Kim Williams). I have 16 years experience in Television and Film Production working as an Associate Producer/Post Supervisor. I've also written two novels (butterflyinkpublishing.com), as well as, Co-written and Produced the theatrical play, "Bitch" (bitchtheplay.com). Aasha Davis and Michelle Clay also serve as Producers on the series.

The web series has received an overflow of positive response and has been featured on The Grio.com's 6 Web Series to Watch List, Sister 2 Sister's 9 Web Series to Watch List , clutchmagazine.com, TheUrban Daily.com, Womanist Musings BlogAol.com, and many more.
