The Number One Reason WHY Your Dreams are NOT Coming True
I originally thought I was interested in psychology simply out of my interest in people. As a student, I realized my interest comes down to more than that. What I’m really interested in is what drives people, what motivates them. What makes us different. No really, what makes us different? What separates the people who are…

Is fitness being “pornified”?
I just read an pretty cool article that discusses the “pornification” of the fitness industry. This concept is something that has been on my mind as of late, and no better time to discuss it than the present!
