Weekly Links!! Argh, I haven't done one in so long. I used to try and do them on Sunday nights, but let's try Friday evenings, so you can have something to read during the weekend.
1. I first learned about this story via the Start-Up Podcast (which is FANTASTIC, by the way). Listen to the podcast or read the article and then you decide: is it 'Sexual Harassment'? My opinion? Hells Yes! {Is it Sexual Harassment? // CNN Money}
2. This article highlights exactly why I have been so reluctant to take any "boutique" fitness class.
3. Good on Melissa McCarthy for attempting to bring larger sizes to regular stores where they can be sold side-by-side with all the other sizes. {How Melissa McCarthy Plans to Change the Way Clothing is Sold // Inc}
4. This may only interest folks who live in LA, but I always love looking at before and after images. Downtown LA is currently going through a crazy construction boom and it's amazing how much things have changed. {Before and After Images of Los Angeles // Rent Cafe}
5. Earlier this year I signed up for an annual Birchbox subscription because it comes out to less than $10/month for fun little beauty samples. The June box featured a "bonus item" which is a hair tie. I rolled my eyes when I saw the company tagline: "Made in LA with imported fabric"
I've been trying not to be critical or make fun of people/things online, but c'mon!! You tied a f***ing knot and you're calling that "made"????? Any good sewer will know that it's just fold over lingerie elastic tied in a knot.
And it's not even good as a hair tie; it barely stays in my ponytail because I can only tie it around twice and I really need it to go around three times to hold up my hair. *end rant. I'll go back to being positive now*
Hope all of you enjoy your weekend. Last Friday I rewarded myself for getting through another work week by having pre-dinner dessert at Yogurtland. I got away with it because my husband was out of town. This week, I behaved....no, Yogurtland before dinner. But maybe I'll sneak in a visit this weekend ;)

While broadcasting your salary is still taboo, boutique fitness is an almost stealth way to display one’s conspicuous consumption.I'm fearful that I'll feel like I *have* to keep going and I can't afford to have that kind of habit. {Why Fitness Classes are Making you Broke // Racked}
