It’s Time To Start Working On that Summer Body

by

Although spring is still in it’s peak, it doesn’t hurt to already start working on that summer body of your dreams. How many of us, honestly, give up even before starting? Well, I’m definitely one of those people. However, when you really want something, you should go for it. Yes, it will be challenging, but once you start achieving the results you want, it will all be worth the hustle. And, if you need some extra motivation, we show you how to start working on that summer body you’ve always wanted.

Buy Running Shoes

If you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to go buy some running shoes. After a day at work or classes (or both) the last thing you want is to sweat yourself to death. But since nothing in life comes easy, it’s going to be time to make the sacrifice. In addition, doing sports will be much better for you than you expect, since you will not only lose weight. In fact, by exercising, you will also be able to disconnect and release all the accumulated stress of the workday. Especially if you are teleworking, as it will help you get out of the house and break the routine. Also, by exercising you will regulate your insulin levels, which will mean that you will not have moments of »uncontrollable» hunger or cravings.

Cook Your Food

The typical tip of eating healthy, but the truth is that it works like a charm. Instead of going out to eat out twice or three times a week, force yourself to cook at home. Because, although it may not seem like it, by eating outside not only we eat worse, we also eat more. By doing this, you will get to save money as well. Because, even if it doesn’t seem like it, going out to eat is expensive. In addition, you can start making healthier meals and learn to substitute some of your favorite snacks for some healthier ones. Knowing what you are eating and getting to make your favorite dishes your own way, is definetly worth it.

Stick to The Plan

It is useless to start working on that summer body if ​​you are going to eat fast food after two days because «it is only today«. The most important thing when it comes to losing weight is consistency. For this reason you must set weekly and monthly goals. In addition, try to go step by step, seeing how you are achieving your goals and stay motivated. If you also write down your progress, you will get even more motivated to reach your goal and get your summer dream body. Regardless if what you want is to lose weight, tone up or just look better, it all starts with a strict plan.

You Can Get Free Pads And Tampons In This Country

by

Just let us start by saying, that sanitary products for women should be free everywhere! Not only that they are not free of charge, they are quite pricey due to being taxed. Condoms have always been traditionally given for free for education purposes. However, women have been raising their voice asking governments to make pads and tampons free. Scotland on the other hand, has officially become the first country in the world to approve this proposition. Now on, you can officially get free pads and tampons in this country.

Scottish Parliament Approves Free Sanitary Products For All Women

In fact, the legisltaion has been in discussion since 2016. As sanitary products for women are taxed in most countries, as if they were products for luxury. However, feminists argue that women didn’t choose to have periods, and that pads and tampons should be free worldwide.

The Scottish parliament voted almost unanimously to be the first country in the world to change that. In addition, there were 112 votes in favor, 0 in against and only one abstention. Furthermore, the second step of passing the bill could witness some amendment propositions. The products are to be made available free of charge, at community centres, youth clubs and pharmacies, at an estimated annual cost of 24.1 million pounds ($31.2 million).

Women Spend Almost 2000$ On Such Products

This new law is supposed to come as a consequence to research showing the unrealistic cost of such sanitary products. According to a study, women spend almost 2000$ on period related products in their lifetime. Not only does the figure concern pads and tampons, but also PMS medication, and of course, »the pink tax» that’s added to sanitary products for women.

Scottish lawmaker Alison Johnstone asked: “Why is it in 2020 that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but period products aren’t? Being financially penalised for a natural bodily function is not equitable or just.”

The Right Path Towards Normalizing Menstruation

This is actually not the first time Scotland makes an impact regarding this issue. In fact, back in 2018, it became the first country ever to provide »free sanitary products in schools, colleges and universities.» This initiative comes as an attempt to normalize menstruation, especially for the young women of the country. In addition, according to parliament member Monica Lennon, this new introduced »bill» aims to promote gender equality, and change perception about women’s bodies.
