As we head into summer, it seems impossible to escape discussion of "beach bodies" and "bikini bridges" and, of course, the ultra-controversial "thigh gap." While it's important to be conscious of the way our culture talks about body politics, it can be pretty exhausting to get caught up in all the beauty standard bullshit. In the coming weeks, you're gonna run into a lot of articles about how to look better in a bathing suit. I don't blame you in the slightest for wanting your appearance to be top-notch, and I've read plenty of those workout guides in my lifetime… but sometimes we all need a break. Instead of reading another listicle about how you should be avoiding carbonated drinks and subsisting off nothing but cayenne pepper and crunches, here's a list of 25 reasons why you deserve to feel good about the body you already have.

Huffington Post: The Hidden Agenda Behind Asking 'What Do You Do?' (VIDEO)

Posted: 28 May 2014 06:34 AM PDT

It often seems to be the first question that comes up when you meet someone: "So, what do you do?" We typically respond by citing our career fields, job titles or personal accomplishments, but spiritual teacher and A New Earth author Eckhart Tolle says everyone should be aware of the hidden agenda lurking behind this seemingly innocent question.

During the above conversation with Oprah, Tolle explains that many of us speak differently to different people -- your boss versus your sibling, for example -- and tend to make adjustments based on who we perceive to be "important." As Tolle and Oprah discuss, asking, "What do you do?" is a subconscious way for people to determine who ranks among the "important."

In the wake of tragedy, the parents of Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit organization formed by parents and spouses who lost family members in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, have spoken out in support of Richard Martinez, who lost his 20-year-old son, Christopher, in Isla Vista.

Martinez has spoken publicly, through his devastation; he blames the NRA and "irresponsible politicians" for his son's tragic death.

"I can't tell you how angry I am, it's just awful and no parent should have to go through this... NO PARENT," Martinez said in an interview with CNN (which you can watch above). "To have a kid DIE, because in this kind of a situation, what has changed? Have we learned nothing? These things are going to continue until somebody does something, so where the HELL is the leadership? ... My kid died because NOBODY responded to what occurred in Sandy Hook."
