In the News

It seems like forever since I’ve last written, even though in actuality it’s only been about a week. My brain has just been overflowing with blog post topics and I can’t wait to share them all in the near future. It’s practically overwhelming. SO. Much. To. Write. About. Solittletime!

I’ve come across several interesting news items lately…

 A German women’s magazine called Brigitte has decided to stop using professional models in it’s issues. [Image Source]

Instead, the Hamburg-based title published by Gruner+Jahr plans to choose from readers who register online and staff members based on their meaningful qualities other than their dress size.

“Attractiveness has many faces,” editor of the bi-monthly Brigitte Huber said in a statement. “Whether they are actresses, musicians, first ladies or women on the streets of big cities – they all affect fashion and beauty styles.”

Heidi Klum and Seal welcomed their fourth child this past Friday. I was surprised at how beautifully (and pro-life!!) the couple’s comments were:

"It's difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children," Seal wrote in a statement to Us [the magazine]. "Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?"
He continued, "the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter... From the moment she looked into both of our eyes it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years."

Jenni Schaefer’s new book is out!  
My therapist recommended her first book to  me a few years ago, and I loved it! Jenni is so clever and funny in her writing. Even with my (ED-related) concentration trouble, I still was able to devour the book because of her witty, readable style and the short chapters. It’s a must-read for anyone suffering any kind of eating disorder or body image issues. I can’t wait to read this latest book. You can purchase it here. I also encourage you to check out Jenni’s blog.  [Image Source]
