What Is the 80/20 Rule? | POPSUGAR Fitness

What Is the 80/20 Rule? | POPSUGAR Fitness



I don't know about you - but age, for me, has brought weight gain.  I'm not sure I can say I've "struggled" because in all honesty, I haven't obsessed about it.



However, I can say that attitude has been a healthy one - so  I'm always looking for sane ways to manage weight. I'm thinking that the 80/20 rule might be one worth trying! ;-)

I know I'm probably tardy to the party on this one....

But at last - a clothes rental site for those of us who aren't a size 2!

Gwyneie Bee

Their sizes range 10 - 32 - that's right ladies, realistic sizes! 


I've never been particularly hepped on the "rent clothes that someone else has been wearing" idea. But I put that down to being a bit too old school. I can definitely see these type of sites being useful for getting an outfit for special occasions. Come on, who hasn't brought a fancy dress for a wedding that you KNOW you'll never have occasion to wear again!  Why not rent something? ;-)
Saw this amazing image on the Belgrave Crescent site (they're a British leather goods site):


I thought it was a great idea for a sleek but comfortable weekend runabout outfit! And easily put together at different price points! 

Over at Not Dead Yet...
