I’m starting a 21 day reset today. I want to slim down for summer and cleanse my body. It’s really interesting how your body will heal itself if you let it. By doing things like cleansing and fasting it allows your body to actually destroy toxins and fat cells in your body. After years of putting junk into our body things begin to deteriorate. We look older, gain weight and acquire health problems. The toxins build up and turn into disease and/or tumors. So I am going to give myself 21 days to heal my body mind and soul ❤ I’m going to post here for accountability!

ALLOWED 2L + water per day tea (especially green) Coffee Green juices (fresh) Green smoothies (fresh) Raw nuts to snack on sashimi now and then 👀

NOT ALLOWED dairy Meat (except sashimi) Sugar (that isn’t natural) Grains Anything processed

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. after my car accident last year the hospital billed me ~$8000. They sent me letters asking me to pay, and I called them back saying my insurance was processing the claim. This is also what I told the collection agency when they kept calling me about the $1000 emergency room fee (billed separately from the hospital fee, mind you). Once everything got straightened out, all I was actually liable for was my $200 emergency copay.

Reblogging for American friends.

Also, it is important [for people receiving medical care in the USA] to carefully read all of the items on the medical bill and look for errors and overcharges. I know that the normal feelings of avoidance and dread can make it hard to look at scary hospital bills, and that’s okay! But as the OP mentions, private orgs like hospitals don’t monitor overpayment of bills - they are motivated to charge you extra - and it is basically impossible to get your money back. Read the bill carefully and make sure that the charges are correct, using the links below for help if you need. If they haven’t sent you an itemized list, you can ask for one. Sometimes you will be charged extra for items or treatment you didn’t receive. Most people don’t know that you can dispute medical bills! But in 2009, Consumer Reports stated that 8 out of 10 medical bills scrutinized by a watchdog had errors, and generally you are not obligated to pay for someone else’s error.

You may be charged for using medication that you actually brought into the hospital with you - that’s easy to dispute! You may be charged for the consumables used during your stay such as sheets, gloves, gowns, etc - the hospital should actually cover that under its running budget. You may be charged for a brand name drug if the generic was available for cheaper - the links below explain how and when you can dispute this. You may be charged a surprisingly expensive “oral administration fee” (where a nurse puts pills for you to take in a little clean paper cup and then hands it to you) but that’s worth disputing if you were actually able to take the pill out of a bottle and put it in your own mouth. And so on.

I get jealous really easily but not like an angry vengeful jealous more like a really sad lonely jealous because everybody likes everybody more than they like me and I really really don’t blame them. 

*organizes a meeting w my mind, body, and soul* so what the fuck is going on around here

Meeting someone for the first time, knowing that falling in love with them will be the absolute death of you, but you fall anyways. So you stay up til 2 a.m. and write poems about their eyes and hesitate over texts that may just tell them how utterly and completely in love with them you are.

i’m in this very odd bubble 

like logically, i know i have a lot to do

but like, emotionally, i’m just.. not.. registering it??? i’m not so much calm but like.. standing in a sound proof fishbowl watching all of my obligations press their faces to the glass, yelling and knocking, and like, my homework and emails are teaming up to make a battering ram and my job is trying to tunnel under and i’m just standing here watching it all in muffled, deaf silence like “ok”

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

Rose Gold

I told you my name was Rose. 

Not true My name is Jennifer

But Rose was softer. Easier to whisper. 

I told you that you were handsome. 

Not true. You are old. Probably older than my father.

But when I touched your wrist and tilted my head and smiled at you, you believed me. 

You told me that you felt like you could tell me anything. 

This is true. In the dark, when I held you, you told me about your son’s college applications, your stress with your company. 

I’d run my fingers through your hair, hum softly in understanding. 

You called me Rose gold. Told me I was everywhere. You couldn’t concentrate a work, could only think of me. 

Your sweet baby. Your sweetness. Your light. Your Rose.

I let you touch me. My designer heels are kicked to the side.

You finger at the lingerie you bought me. Tell me I deserve more. Deserve it all.

I quietly remind you of my student loan payment coming up. But stop there. Not the right moment to talk about the money. Let you touch my hair. My lips. 

A reward for how good you’ve been to me. 

I’m all tenderness for you. Radiating rose tenderness.

I bloom for you and leave my body.

Remind myself of how medical school is being paid for, how one day my husband won’t have to worry about my debt. 

Then, I get scared. Think of how I haven’t been able to keep a boyfriend. How I shrink away from men in my regular life. I shiver and snap back to reality. 

You’re holding me. Whispering into my ear about how you’ll take me to Paris. How I’m so beautiful. How I taste like flowers.

You tell me about how your wife wants to travel to Paris this summer but you’d rather take me. How she crowds you. I understand. I would never do that to you.

When you turn me the right way in the light, the makeup on my body glitters a dusty rose. 

You gasp. I sit up, lean my head back like I’ve practiced in the mirror, and let you stare at me. 

I think of my daughters. If I’ll ever be able to tell them this. You call out to me. Rose. I forget, for a split second, that you’re referring to me.

But then, I remember. Tilt my head back to you and smile at you like your Rose always does. 

You tell me to come here. 

In my mind I think of the car you paid for, my heels, my Birkin bag. I think of my therapist that warns me that doing this will hurt me later on. But money is money.

I crawl back to you.

This is so emotionally on point

Whilst in Sydney in 1994, a man apparently tries to assassinate Prince Charles. And not a single fuck was given by His Royal Highness.

(x)

I’m dead at his face in the last one like “Did you even try?”

And then when he gets pushed he’s like “Wait no let him try!”

his composure is just everything I aspire to be

OMG IT’S BACK!

CHARLES IS THE BEST OMG

Like how he stands there as if, “Okay, I’ll be perfectly still and we’ll see if you can hit me this time. Come on, it is like I’m giving you a head start.” He’s more annoyed with his cuff link than the wanna be assassin.

FOREVER REBLOGGING THIS.

THIS is how you deal with terrorists

Even if you go down you did it with dignity.

You all do know who his mother is right? You know the woman who stayed home during the bombing of London and drove Jeeps in WW2. They are trained to be final boss overlord level composed at age 2.

Okay so this shit is in my likes and it’s come across my dash a few times since but this is the first time I’ve seen it since the following happened to me:

One time I was in Manhattan and I had a lot of walking to do and I was bored and was thinking about this gifset and I thought, huh, lets try it. So I did and I was thinking queenly, murderous thoughts and trying to see if people were more willing to get out of my way when I walked like this and then, I watch a guy pass me, do a double take, then a triple take.

Then he engages me in polite conversation for a block or two, tells me I have beautiful hair, then asks me out of drinks. 

CHARLIZE THERON IS A SMART LADY BUT HER ADVICE IS POWERFUL. USE IT WISELY AND WITH CAUTION, MEN MIGHT START THROWING THEMSELVES AT YOU.

I will never not reblog this

I tried this today and 3 men stopped me to tell me how gorgeous I was.  POWER.

… Right. #cues this for next week.

Literally how I walk because of her. Watch how many people either jump out of your way or stare.
