Another One Bites the Dust - Women and Shopping

Nope. Most women are Not shopping fanatics. Thin women like shopping, the average for the rest is ambivalence. This doesn't surprise me. I know lots of women who despise shopping and get very colorful vocabularies when the topic comes up.

Fascinating Read: The Masculinity Conspiracy

From the about page:

"The Masculinity Conspiracy is a free online book about masculinity. It argues that nearly every assumption about masculinity in contemporary society is wrong. The result is nothing short of exposing a worldwide conspiracy that has been preventing humanity from reaching its fullest potential."

Wanna Be Happy? Go Walk In Nature

This is another of those studies that mostly makes one say, "Duh!" but it's worth the reminder. We all know walking in nature feels good, but we greatly underestimate how much. So next time you think a tromp through your local woods or park would be nice, remind yourself that it wouldn't just be nice, it'd be NICE!
