#ive never cared about my tags trending BUT THIS ONE EXCITES ME | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

ik they arent even in the trailer and their story is done but im kinda bummed out thatin the good omens tag basically nobody is ever talking about the them or the human characters anymore like they make up most of the book and half the show but always get the side lines in fandom content :/ like ive never seen an anathema focused piece of anything shes always like crowleys bestie or something nobody cares to explore a female character deeper than is shown in canon like raphael doesnt exist in canon and yet had more people explore his intricacies

I’m guilty of this too, and I think aside from regular fandom tendency to focus on a ship and let that be all that matters, A/C’s story is so interesting and unique that it outshines the others.

But I love Anathema! I really like her storyline of following something for her whole life because she was told she has to, and having to navigate not having that guide anymore—after choosing not to have it. I wish we got to see how she deals with going about life without knowing what comes next, I can see it being a great source of stress for her. And it would’ve been neat to see it paralleled with Aziraphale going through something very similar, now that he’s abandoned his trust in Heaven. I saw a post a while ago talking about how both human couples were mirrors of A/C—Newt asks questions of Anathema’s unwavering faith and helps her to leave it behind, just like Crowley does for Aziraphale. Shadwell ends up with somebody he’s supposed to believe is an embodiment of evil and sees he was wrong about her, just like Aziraphale does with Crowley. That was really interesting to see and I have a feeling that season 2 will do the same thing with Maggie and Nina (of course I hope they’re more than just mirrors of the male characters).

But as far as fandom goes, I have to admit that I understand wanting to focus on A/C since they’re the most interesting. It does annoy me though, that Anathema often falls victim to the typical fandom treatment of female characters, where they only exist to mother the male characters. In fan fiction she tends to be the voice of reason and the “smartest one in the room”, which seems great because yay a woman is smarter than the men…until you realise she’s only “the smartest one in the room” because people can’t imagine a woman being silly and fun, only responsible and maternal. I think so much more could be done to explore her whole conspiracy theory thing.

As far as the trend of her being Crowley’s bestie, I think it’s cute, but it feels like people reduce her to being a “goth bestie” and don’t really pay attention to her interests. I feel like she’d really get along with Aziraphale and they’d bond over interest in/knowledge of books of prophecy. I’m sure Aziraphale would be absolutely fascinated to hear from an actual descendant of Agnes Nutter, and despite having left the descendant lifestyle behind I’m sure Anathema would be eager to share her history with somebody who’s knowledgeable and interested. Like imagine you dedicate your whole life to following in the footsteps of a historical figure that not many people know about except prophecy enthusiasts. And then you meet the enthusiast of all time. That would be exciting!

And, y’know, I’m sure she’d be more fond of Aziraphale over Crowley, considering A’s the one who healed her and treated her kindly while C didn’t care that he’d hit her with his car and instead focused on un-denting said car…

That being said, I’ve found that a lot of content with her being friends with the husbands, especially Crowley, ends up treating her like set dressing. I’d make a feminist analysis of this, but tbh I notice it with all the human characters, so I don’t think it’s specific to Anathema because she’s female. It’s possible it happens to her more though because of it.

Anyways. I agree it’s sad that the other characters don’t get much attention! They’re great, especially Anathema and Pepper who are my favourites. But like I said, I get it, when they’re up against the competition that is ineffable husbands.

Pain and Embarrassment pt 2

Summary: Ethan gets a surprise visit after you’ve gone back to California

Part one

As soon as the interviewer had asked your reaction to his affair, Ethan knew he made this situation so much worse. How could he forget to tell you about something like this? Not only did he expose his dirty laundry for everyone to see, he didnt even tell you there was dirty laundry to air. He tried calling you as soon as the interview was done but your phone was going straight to voicemail.

He quickly checked online to see if maybe you had publicly said anything (not that he thought you actually would, not yet) and he saw that the affair was trending. Thousands of people were commenting on his ruined marriage and the only thing he thought of was you and his children. Ethan saw people tagging his whole family and he felt awful. Not only does everyone know about his family falling apart, but complete strangers keep poking at his family and its his fault.

Ethan checked his kids social media only to find that all of them had either deleted or made their accounts private. He tried calling them and not one of them would answer. He knew Sky probably found out by now, the twins most likely knew, there was a good chance Noah understood enough and he was pretty sure Elise was going to start putting it together. The only one who he could maybe buy time with was Connor and that was only because he was overseas at the moment.

When he received the text from Alex saying to leave you alone he felt awful. His own kids hated him. He hated himself at that moment too.

It was almost 10 o’clock when he heard the front door opening. He knew there was no way you were back with the kids, not this soon. He got up from his place on the couch and turned to see his two oldest children standing by the door.

Skylar looked like she had been crying and was using her brother as a shield and Connor stood there, still in his military uniform, glaring right at him. He always thought about how much Connor was the mini version of you but seeing the look of anger in his eyes reminded him how much that was true. He had only been on the receiving end of your glares a few times through your relationship but it was terrifying and seeing it on his sons face was just as frightening.

“Sky-”

“Stop.” Connor cut him off. “Grab some things for me please,” he handed Sky his travel bag so she could pack some clothes for him. She already had her own luggage in the car ready to go.

“Son-” Ethan tried again.

“Do not call me that. I'm not your son. You hurt my mom. And the dad I knew did everything he could to make sure that would never happen to her. Ive been looking out for mom since I was a kid and turns out you couldnt wait long enough after I left to hurt her in the worst way possible.” Connor had turned to the hallway, subconsciencly blocking Ethans path to Sky if he tried.

“This was supposed to be a surprise. Me coming home. Looks like I'm the one who got surprised instead,” he laughed sarcastically.

“Do you have any idea what its like to be so excited to see your family in over a year only to find out your family isnt together while on the plane? And to see it plastered online? Having to push through a crowd of cameras while Sky went to pick me up? Because I do and I can sure as hell assure you thats not what I was planning to come home to.” Connor stopped talking when he felt Sky put her hand on his shoulder letting him know she was ready to go.

He moved to the door and made sure he blocked his sister from Ethan the entire time. She had made it very clear that she didnt want to see or speak to him. Connor lead her to the door and made sure she got out before he turned his attention back to the man who raised him.

“Leave my mom alone. Leave us alone. You didnt care about the damage you were doing to your family so now you dont get to pretend you want to clean up the mess you caused. And I swear, if you dont give mom space back youre going to regret it.” He stood toe to toe with Ethan.

For the first time in his life, Ethan finally saw his son not as the little boy who helped his mom cook in the kitchen, but rather as the man who was fiercely protective of the most important woman in his life and who had spent the past few years of his life serving in the military and now towered over Ethan in every way possible.

Connor finally backed off and walked out the door after his big sister. Ethan watched as his two eldest walked sped off in their car heading back to the airport to be with you, leaving him exactly how you felt.

Alone.

I know it’s short but I really just wanted to get something up since I know it’s been a while

no offense but that article is garbage and completely misinterprets/overgeneralises. yes there’s a problem with people over stepping boundaries but this article really wants to villainise young female fans getting excited about their faves like yikes. so disappointing to see tumblr supporting this rhetoric

i understand where you’re coming from but rereading the article it takes a gender neutral tone to stans except when needed to describe an individual. nothing particularly stood out to me as attacking female fans in particular, rather just attacking a large trend that isn’t exclusive to owl. they weren’t like “oh female fans who draw or support their favorite players are bad” these are like player accounts of stalking.im going to keep it real to you all and say that i am a former kpop stan. i was a fucking kpopper for three years of my life, and eventually a tragedy opened my eyes and i stepped away. i never really connected with a particular band, just a smattering of idols, and obsessed over them. i did all the “uwu my perfect baby” shit for them that i yell at owl stans for doing, and acted weird and fetishistic to them. so as someone who walked that path for three years of my pathetic life im gonna tell you that being a “stan” is an inherently destructive way to view esports players and celebrities. it warps your view of the people you fixtate upon and a good number of people i knew (who were not all girls) genuinely believed they had a chance with these idol acting like they do. i did. but with kpop there’s massive amounts of separation between fans and idols. give or take that one time a girl filmed herself masturbating to yoongi and tagged bts in it (YES THIS HAPPENED), they aren’t gonna see your weird erotic fanfic.but there’s almost no separation between owl players and us. you can easily contact them on twitter, send them messages, and maybe once in a blue moon even be friends if you’re not weird to them. and while most of this is fun and good it also leaves a back door for people to be creepy.like i know “aud why do you care about the players more than the female fans who are so wronged by this article” but like... multiple players have talked about how they’ve felt uncomfortable and alienated by the way some stans act towards them. ark had one of these stans who fixated on his feet who refused to stop posting about it after being asked by him to stop. like there’s a difference between someone being like “oh carpe is cute i wish i could date him” and like fucking pulling that bullshit.honestly the article just feels like posts ive made before about owl stans but written in an article on inven and not on a dead website at 11pm after a huge dose of caffeine. but that’s my opinion

i was tagged by both @restinpeacesensei ans @mostlikelytofangirl!! two very lovely blogs that i highly recommend!!

Rules: Always post the rules. Answer the questions asked, then write eleven new ones. Tag eleven people to answer your questions as well as the person who tagged you.

(restinpeacesensei’s questions)

1. link to a piece of work (other than mine) that captured your attention so much you always wanted to leave a comment for the creator, but never did.

There’s several fic I love to pieces and yet I’ve never commented :0

Don’t Eat the Food of the Mindscape (billdip)

2. talk about a response you got to something you’ve made that you still think about to this day.

I love every comment and response I get for something i’ve created ;;w;; but a few prominent ones would be restinpeacesensei’s tags on my art, this post by @peculiartrash that recommended my fic Blatherskite, all of the comments and tags i see on my art and fic, and whenever i show my friends art and they compliment me ;;w;;

3. what kind of compliment do you appreciate the most?

I appreciate any and every compliment for my art and fic!! Or just the ideas i have in general! i love when people tell me they’re inspired by my work, or that i’ve made them feel something about it; and compliments about specific parts of my works are also super super nice ;;w;;

4. do you prefer to initiate conversation or be approached?

I don’t think I mind? I feel like I initiate conversation more than i’m approached, haha--mainly because i’ll comment on something or share an idea and i’ll get a response back!! which is always nice ;;w;;

5. on average, how long does it take you to go from initial idea to finished piece?

oh goodness, forever i suppose. It really depends on the idea and what exactly i want “finished”--most of the time its anywhere from a few days to a few years based on my motivation + if i know where i want to go with it

6. when you have a problem, do you usually prefer to be listened to or given advice?

I like to talk and be listened to in general, haha, but truly i feel like i’d want to vent and have validation/comfort for what i’m feeling--and THEN get advice for how to deal with it, really, knowing someone cares really helps me a lot

7. describe an image that recently got stuck in your mind.

i have an idea for a beauty and the beast akorima au--with akoya as the beast. and ive sketched out beast akoya maybe once but the image of him towering over ibushi, huge wings and hulking figure, as ibushi gently leads him into a waltz--aaaa i wish i was talented enough to draw it ;;w;;

8. what’s the last thing you did just because you knew it’d make someone else smile?

i’ve drawn plenty of things for friends--just because, and i’ve given sincere compliments to my friends for their art and ocs ;;w;; i also frequently send my friends posts of things that i know they’d like/will make them happy

9. what’s the nicest thing someone has done for you recently?

my friend read the wip for a fic im writing and complimented it and told me she was really excited to see how it would go ;;w;;

10. what makes you consider yourself to be “friends” with someone?

i think there’s a certain barrier someone has to cross, bc i typically consider myself,,,well,,,not good enough? to be friends with someone right away haha--i think it just kinda slowly develops after lots of conversation over time

11. if you could be your own ideal friend, what would you be like?

supportive, loyal, always knows what to say and how to make me feel better, fun to be around, and i wouldnt ever grow exhausted from being around them and feel the need to introvert back into my room, a best friend i can spend the rest of my life with--platonically or otherwise

(mostlikelytofangirl’s questions)

1. How do you see yourself in ten years time?

in college working to get a phd in literature, with a handful of close, lifelong friends, a dog, a nice apartment, and maybe a significant other if im lucky

2. One thing you did that you are very proud of.

most all of my digital art that i spend time on!! like this or this!!

3. Is there any sport you would like to be very good at?

i wish i could swim well

4. A song that you strongly associate with a particular person and why.

does that person have to be real? bc wonderful life by estelle is a lance mcclain song!! if its a real person then,,,hm anything by fun reminds me of one of my best friends bc its her favorite band ;;w;;

5, Has something ever happened to you that could have been paranormal?

nothing i can really think of,,,,

6. One talent you wish you were known for.

im a GREAT cuddler--and i think my singing is p good ;;w;;

7. Are you the kind to look for comfort/reassurance or you rather face your problems alone and quietly?

im a cross between the two, i think, depending on the problem. most of the time i vent to friends for validation/comfort, but sometimes i tell myself to suck it up bc i brought it upon myself

8. If you could be an animal for one day, what would you be?

some deep sea creature that can float around in the depths of the ocean without a care

9. Would you rather live in a world without music or a world without colors?

fuck. oh goodness. probably colors, i guess. i can still create art without color, but music feels so much more irreplaceable, i guess

10. The last person that told you something so nice they made your day.

mY FRIEND WHO TOLD ME SHE LIKED MY WRITING

11. You latest big accomplishment.

i wrote 40+ pages of a fic <33 the most ive ever written for anything ever

ok!! so, my turn! my questions:

1) what is one experience/feeling you wish you could share with others?

2) what kind of content creator would you want to be if you were famous/how would you interact with your fans? would you be a Hirsch? A Rowling?

3) what is your ideal aesthetic?

4) describe your favorite person/people

5) what idea is the most comforting to you? (mine is the vastness of space vs how small we are)

6) what character traits do you value the most and why?

7) do you notice a trend in characters you favor?

8) do you have a wip you regret not finishing?

9) do you have any ocs? what are they like?

10) if you were a cryptid/supernatural being/monster, what would you be?

11) are you a fluff person or an angst person?

I’ll tag @aliciasimaginaryfriends @spoopyshayne @butterfinger-bitch @iamtypinglike98madmen @gravityems @gothiethefairy @notfaquarl @yuki-ryuuzaki @yaminerua @angry-jewish-magical-girl @sanrxo

Episode 6 Confessionals

I mean I didn't make the idol play. But um #LUKEDIDTHAT. Love he did that. But Lexi self voting??? Ruining Luke's plan of getting someone out? ICONIC!! Poor Lexi is prob going to go home lol. But I'm happy the idol I found did something but sad that its now gone and a new one? might be able to be found for those 4 remaining.

One more fake swap / fake merge and I'm going to vote myself off this island.

So iconically, Luke idolled, which i'm happy about. I'm NOT happy about Ryan being voted out considering I was kind of wanting to play a game with him. It also doesn't make sense considering... he's tried in every challenge, and has helped out the tribe greatly imo, but then again - we don't know the social dynamics and tribe outlook on their tribe. Carson told me he found an idol, and i'm superbly excited. Will he use it on me? Likely not. But it's still good to know we have it in OUR possession, and i'm not planning on leaking a word. The fact that he told me is satisfying though, and I do truly feel as if he's my #1 in the game right now. The challenge? Pass. It's something... logic puzzles are... awful (yet a little fun at times, sure). The cup thing... whomst... and the counting? I'm fairly triggered. I'm going to likely sit out because i'm busy today and I just couldn't care or want to do ANY of that. also why is there no SWAP!

Last tribal was fun with my idol play but Lexi made it less iconic with the self vote but that was completely understandable since she has a lot going on personally and I hope she's okay <3 It worked well in the sense that Jordan and Jay can still convince Lexi that they just had to do what they had to do with the tie and they saved her over Ryan. I compleTELY FUCKED UP THE COUNTING PART OF THE CHALLENGE WHICH I WAS ALREADY EH ABOUT DOING SINCE IT'S THE WORST BUT EUUURGH I MESSED UP. I'm hoping that we can win but if we don't then I hope I can trust Jay and Jordan enough to keep our 3 alliance strong and just vote our Lexi unanimously providing she doesn't have an idol or anything like that. I'll make an update after results...

Can you believe we win again? If we merge, it's gonna be 7-3. What a time to be alive!!!

WHEWWWW i searched Mancos for the idol bc of my idol clue i got and i fucking found the idol and wow... i decided to tell Zach because I definitiely wanna nurture a relationship with him (love him so much) and we're a dynamic duo for sure!! i only talk to hi9m though and i def gotta fix that. playing this game AND another game at once is just a bit much but im still doing my best.

OKAY IM SCREAMING HOW DID I EVEN GET ANOTHER REWARD?? Idk how many rewards there have been in total bc I forgot but I've gotten 3 and didn't do 1 bc it was too risky but like what the heck how is this even happening?? I'm shook

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5g0x_0uPJo

WE WON IMMUNITY YESSS!!! going into the final 10 7-3 is definitiely amazing and im assuming luke goes on the other tribe. im fine with that bc it seems like everyone on my tribe is close to luke, so theyll be closer to me if hes gone!! im definitiely enjoying this tribe but like.. where does everyone stand?? who knows. we havent gone to a tribal since eric combusted and i dont know where i stand. i trust zach and i kinda trust bryce even if we dont talk strategy but idk where everyone else stands. katie truists me i think, but idk if i talk to her enough for it to be a FULL trust between us?? shes probably the one i trust the most after the other 2. charlotte is... whew?? she hates zach im pretty sure so like... idk about that personally. shes a good player and also like... idk i just dont talk to her as much as the other returnees. willow is cool and shes super nice but we NEVER talk strategy and also she like gave tons of info to eric allegedly then voted him out so idk if i can trust that rlly but like thats a bit hypocritical bc i kinda used him too. i need to try talking more strategy with her. and chris... we talk and they're pleasant conversations but like willow, i dont talk strategy enough with him. plus hes a good game player from what ive seen in this game?? i know hes busy so i just gotta start getting a bit more out of him. my social game has def been slipping and if i dont get it up, im looking at a merge boot status bc tbh? i think im a pretty big threat. ideally, jordan pines is merge boot, then we can use lexi/jay to possibly get out some of our tribe, maybe charlotte?? on second thought i could use jordan for that too but like.. i dont trust jordan lmao. IDEALLY, id like a boot order of... f10: jordan f9: charlotte f8: lexi f7: willow f6: chris f5: jay f4: bryce f3: katie/zach, depends on who i think i can win easier against?? then ideally a final 2 of me winning. but survivor is always changing, so nothing is for sure. thats just how id LIKE it to happen, but nothing is gonna happen exactly so ill just pray!!

We lost immunity...again...shocker! Jay approached me earlier to potentially blindside Jordan and get him out since he's a huge threat at the upcoming merge but ultimately decided that using his connection with Katie and his reputation as a meat shield would be to our advantage since we're both winners and that is enough to get people to target us. It feels weird working this closely with Jay. If we merge next then plan to get Katie using Jordan, Carson using Jay and Zach using myself and then add Charlotte into the group and we should have a strong group. I also want to find out who gave me the immunity idol so I can first of all thank them, second of all ask them why and third if all work with them. I just hope I'm not being screwed by Jay the same way he was trying to screw Pines.

Confessional #1 this round: Fuck ulta, i hate this tribe, i want to leave, ryan palmer let me go home

I accidently self voted last round and it tied between me and ryan because luke used an idol. so they voted ry out and i cried alittle. thats about all.

Confessional #2- Rip Lexi, this is wrong, how the fuck are we gonna be at 3 players, after this wtf they have an entire tribe waiting to fight us

Im so happy we won again to be able to go into a merge with 7-3 majority maybe and a 4 person group into the 10 person game! Things are going well

Wish I can find the idol and hope luke doesnt go out either here

bye lexi! honestly like... idk. all newbies on their tribe are gone, it's so funny. im anticipating merge! or a swap.. or something. its 7v3 for crying out loud! im not sure what my move is going forward, but i think im confident. just kidding, i'm likely leaving. this is a bs conf but i may make one tomorrow hehe

haha I beat Jay

wow can't believe I'm this seasons challenge beast

We're really that tribe that's completely decimating everything.

I've been out all day and I see that they voted out Lexi. Every tribal that Jordan pines makes it through makes me even more nervous about getting to a merge with him around. We didn't have a good history in our last game but I'm hoping that there are more people around with bad blood with him so I can kinda just get by without getting any shots fired at me. I just want to go into a merge already. None of this potential "tribe swap" to make things even for one more round. I usually get fucked in a swap and I'd rather not have history repeat itself.

Over the course of the past week or so, i've been attempting to mend things with Charlotte. She's the only person that I feel like would be dead set on getting rid of me, so to weaken that desire would be sufficient. I also want to work on Katie and Chris a bit more so that the newbies (since i'm already decent with Willow, I believe) would be more loyal to me. I need opportunities! As for the pending upcoming merge or swap, i'm not ready. I would hope the 7 Ulta stay together for a BIT or something, like vote out Jordan. I'm semi-close with Jay and Luke, so would I want to vote them out right away? Well, in the wise words of Jay - absolutely not. But I would if I had to. I'd be more lenient with voting Jay since i'm now developing a friendship with Luke (because of another ORG) and I really like him, he's a cool kid. Him and I have NEVER worked together in past ORGs so if we manage to survive and make it on a tribe together, it'll be something refreshing. Carson's still my favourite though. He's a social god and it's scary. The kid has school from like 7-3pm and still finds more time to message me somehow or someway. It's... wildt. I trust him to an extent and him and I both have agreed that like we'll go far but obviously we are bale to betray one another if essential to our own game. I likely won't make it that far though RIP. I told him i'd be his lapdog, despite the tag of the season o.O Bryce. I didn't mention him yet. He's cool, him and I rarely talk but I think he's overall a great person. I'd like to talk to him more but our last conversation felt dull and I can't force a convo (not his fault, communication is indeed a two way street.) Nonetheless, it's something I may have to work on for my game. Also lowkey it's so funny because two tribals ago, you provoked the question regarding returnees and newbies, and here are some facts: - Ryan asked you to stop shoving it down his throat. He got voted out consequently. Iconic, right? - All newbies on their side are eliminated - All the boots in the game in general are newbies (with the exception of my Bahamas representative Willa...RIP good soul. The good die young!) So basically a returnee will win this game. It might be slightly worrying to Katie/Willow/Chris and they may want to extend and form bonds with OG Copa so that they have backup, because obviously there's a trend with voting out the newbies. Anyway, this is my third confessional this round... more than expected hehe hope you enjoy! P.S look at this rude ass message: On 2017-09-14, at 6:36 PM, carson wrote: > Use the Golden Rope to hang urself please HSDGNISDGNDS It was so funny I choked bye now

I seriously thought I was being screwed this round because I didn't think Jay would flip on Lexi but he did and I'm still here! 5 votes against me and I'm still here which is great!! There are only 3 of us left on Copa and we're an alliance so if we don't swap/merge and lose immunity then....it's going to suck. I think maybe I'd be in the middle? But equally Jordan and Jay have known each other a lot longer than they've known me so they might see me as disposable and get rid of me which I hope isn't the case. I really wanna merge and go work with Zach, Charlotte and Carson who I know and think I could work well with. Also Bryce, a newbie from last season, someone who I'd be interested in hooking up with in this game and working with!

So I got another advantage which is lit, I guess all these advantages are making up for kvaloya, anyway who knows how I'm gonna be able to explain the randomized vote?

Okay so like I just realized I'm in another game with Eric. And I kinda led the charge to get him voted out so I'm trying to win immunity otherwise he is totally killing me so sorry this is a terrible confessional but I'm STRESSING.

If we don't merge I'm so incredibly fucked

Itsines: One of the biggest gaffes Ive understood wives build in America is the cutting-out-carbs act.

It should be: Im gonna do this to stimulate myself happier, so in turn, I experience beautiful. Thats truly a mindset Im trying to teach women.

As wives, we have theatres where we get this sudden reason, we are seeking to do everything Im so motivated, Im gonna “re going to the” gym, Im gonna work out for hours and hours and they work out, theyre super sore, they cant continue it, and they become unmotivated. Its just about taking happenings step by step: maybe doing a seven-minute workout and making it into a 14 -minute workout the next week. Its about slowly improving your workout up until you feel good rather than pushing it very far.

Fox News: Whats your advice for someone who is working out and trying to get more physically fit, but is not realise develops?

Nonetheless, Ive always been really, very happily married within myself, and thats what I try to push to dames that I contemplate the more you do gradually, the better you start to feel.

Fox News: Any advice for women struggling with organization confidence?

Itsines: We could have the best organizations in the world, but if we dont feel good on the inside, it doesnt question. I ever say to parties, Contemplate about the most beautiful party you know. Theyre not beautiful because they have a beautiful figure! You dont mention, Oh my best friend or the person I adore the most is so beautiful because her body searches any particular acces. Its because she makes me laugh, because shes smart, because shes here for me. Beauty comes from the inside, and the more that ladies start focusing on that, the more beautiful people become, including themselves.

When youre self-confident within you, it constructs and it extends, and it glistens out of you.

Fox News: Your programs are large-scale on poise in that they involve heavines discipline, cardio, extending and resting and, on the nutrition side, even dessert! Why is this mixture so important for producing outcomes?

Itsines: Balance is important in life. It keeps us sane! Why, as wives, shouldnt we be able to have our dinner and eat our dessert? Why shouldnt we have that? For illustration, last nighttime I had some pasta and chocolate after, and I dont feel bad because I chew health and I work out. Everything in moderation!

Just having a little moment of refection. I feel like the last few years has been an absolute whirlwind! When life gets busy, you often don’t get the chance to stop and think about what you’ve achieved along the way! Time is transferring by no matter what you do. So why stress? Why get worked up? Why obsess so much better when you can be happy and enjoy your life instead! I know that’s easier said than done sometimes, but genuinely when you think about it, you SHOULD be happy. You should be able to celebrate every moment. Time will pass no matter what…..so you may as well be happy and do what you cherish. http://ift.tt/1qtdY6U app #bbg photo credit – @alexpreview

Itsines: No! My patrons are the perfect speciman that age was nothing. Some of them are 40, 45, 50 years old and have the energy levels of a 20 -year-old. For me, whats next is facilitating more women and reading how I can do that to its implementation of getting feedback from all levels of society and with BBG. Its just so exciting.

Flashback !! My favourite thought in the world is satisfying my #bbg girls. I have left every single one of the boot camps, gone to my inn chamber, sat on my plot, set my honcho in my hands and cried. Not from sadness, I wasn’t sad at all!

I got to hear all of your stupendous floors and how #bbg has changed your life or the life of someone you love. Even now, my sees ocean as I’m writing this because it builds me think back to all the amazing times that I have with you all. All I can say is thank you and that I am so so so sanctified so be able to meet you girls and hear your narratives. I would Desire for you to berth in specific comments below and tell others why you started the #bbg and how it changed your life. I want to show wives that everyone’s floor is different and we are all here for different reasons, but with one discontinue point … health and merriment http://ift.tt/1qtdY6U app #bbgstronger
