Web Wanderings #2

A collection of interesting bits that I've stumbled upon while wandering the web.

Mindfulness
In this crazy age of body shaming and obsessions with all things celebrity, here's a great post from Jennifer Aniston.

Organization
The Pomodoro Technique is a way of organizing your time in chunks of 25 minutes, eliminating distractions, and rewarding yourself with short breaks.

Travel
Last spring, Jim and I went to Nashville on vacation.  What we found there were some great, unique, neighborhoods throughout the city that were so much fun to explore.  Our two favorites were the Gulch and 12South.  Read about all of the different neighborhoods here.

Fashion
It may be summer, but we still have to dress up for work.  Here's some ways to pull off a t-shirt at the office to at least be a bit more comfortable.

Food
First the US had the Food Pyramid, now we have the Plate to tell us how we should eat.  Personally, I like the idea of a spinning top, and that's exactly how Japan does their guidelines.  and they seem to know a bit about how to eat - their rate of obesity is just  3.6 percent of adults (compared to 32 percent of Americans) and they have the longest life expectancy.
