Reality vs Instareality: These photos are taken 3 seconds apart but posture (tensing and breathing in like hell) can make all the difference to body shape. And you know what? Everyone does it on social media, and I think it’s important to remember that when it comes to body image…especially as we all compare ourselves to these aspirational body types. Picture one is me. Real like me, though I smile more I’m never going to have a ripped 6-pack, and I’m happy with the shape I’m getting. #Realbodies #BodyIssue #realityvsinstagram #ThursdayThoughts #fitness #health #muscle #tummyrubs #happy #instagay #bodyproud (at London, United Kingdom)

Being at home all this time has made me realize how terrible my lounging clothes are . Not saying I’m going to stop wearing my NBA tees to bed, but I had to level up just a little. Wearing a cute set from @nastygal. Check my stories for the link to this lounge-set.

Woke up with this handsome boy staring me down. He just wanted some #snuggles, but it just dawned on me that I’ve been a #singlefurmom. So here’s to all the pet parents out there who don’t abandon their animals when things get tough and who love their pets like family.

Is it Fry-day yet?!

#ThursdayThoughts
#frenchfries (at Portland, Oregon)

Melody McCloskey is a 32-year-old CEO who raised $40 million.

 She entered the start-up scene as a 26-year-old female entrepreneur with no software engineering background. The odds were stacked against her, but just 5 years later, McCloskey had co-founded StyleSeat, an on-demand beauty company that has raised $40 million in VC funding and done $3.2 billion in cumulative sales. 

“You just have to wake up and say, ‘I’m going to learn from past meetings, past conversations. And I’m going to get smarter and better and I’m going to kill it in these next meetings,’” McCloskey said. 

“I think that everyone should do what they love and not be fearful of all of the reasons why they shouldn’t.”

The power couple taking turns making millions

Kevin and Maggie Callahan are married to each other — and success. 

 As partners in life and business, the Callahans are generating millions, with their latest venture Maggie Louise Confections headed to top $1 million in annual revenue this year. 

How do they do it? 

By taking financial risk to support their businesses. Maggie, for example, liquidated her 401(k) to help fund Kevin’s fitness app when it was in its infancy. That’s a move most experts would advise against, but it paid off in the end: http://cnb.cx/23tUGbr

Thursday Thoughts: Sometimes you have to do what they tell you never to do. 

This frog was caught by a cat before being brought into the centre for a checkup. Whilst it had, luckily, escaped any physical injury, it was very thin and dehydrated and needed a little R&R!

After bathing in antibiotic and rehydration solutions (amphibians absorb this through their skin), it was moved into a tank with some food to recover. Whilst we are still in the early days of treatment, we hope this little guy will be able to return to the wild soon :)

These five great-spotted woodpecker chicks now bring our total number to ten!

Sadly, the tree they were nesting in fell down in high winds and they were brought into our care after being found scattered on the ground.

Whilst not physically injured, they were all quite dehydrated and were given sub-cutaneous fluids before being moved into a warm enclosure to recover. Once looking a little more lively (and happily calling away), they were transferred to one of our volunteer orphan feeders for round the clock care. With feeds due every hour, they will be quite a handful!

Our office manager, Alice, had quite a shock when she got home to find this little vole on the mesh of her bathroom window!

We’re not sure how it got there, but it’s now safely admitted to the centre! With no injuries, it just needs a bit of time to grow before it can return to the wild :)
