This is really important. Dog’s shed heat by panting (instead of sweating) - they expel moisture and heat as they pant and if that humid air stays around them, they will no longer cool down but will instead heat up even more, and become dehydrated at their body tries even harder to get rid of heat through panting.

A dog can get heatstroke out in the open if they are panting too heavily and making the air around them too humid and stuffy - they need to be moved (if possible). If that can happen to a dog sitting out in the open think about how much worse it would be within an enclose space like a car. Hyperthermia will kill a dog and it is a terrible way to go.

dont leave your dog in your car you pricks

6 Essentials for Your Vegan Kitchen

There are many myths out there surrounding vegan eating.  People think vegan food is bland, strange, lacking protein, difficult to find, and on and on. Now, Green Monsters, the time has come to dispel these myths. The good news is that so many vegan products are on supermarket shelves these days that no one should shun the vegan diet because of the fears mentioned above.  To ensure a happy vegan belly, you’ll firstly need to load up on fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. In addition, you’ll need to stock up on some basic essentials; we’ve put together a list to help you do just that!

1. Kick Ass Condiments

The first step to stocking your vegan kitchen is ensuring that you have plenty of condiments.  The right condiments are key because they have the ability to add wonderful spices and flavors that will make your veggies, plant-based proteins, grains, and legumes sing.  To that end, venturing away from your normal supermarket aisles into the international aisles will open up a new array of condiment options.  Check out this list to find out the 10 must-have vegan condiments.

2. Crunchy and Cool Cereal

Next, you are going to need some great cereal options for that most important meal of the day.  A good breakfast, meaning one that provides fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates, while also being low in sugar and processed foods, has been shown to rev your metabolism, lead to healthier eating throughout the day, and boost your concentration, productivity, and memory.  Of course, we would all like a healthy start to our day, and that’s why hot cereals are perfect.  They are full of fiber. protein, and whole grains, and can easily be dressed up or down and made savory or sweet.   More importantly, you need a breakfast that can be prepared quickly in the morning.  That’s why we made this list containing 10 healthy hot cereal picks, most of which can be cooked in five minutes or less.

3. Delicious Waffle and Pancake Mixes

What if you are looking for a more decadent breakfast for your Sunday brunch? There is no better weekend breakfast than freshly made pancakes and waffles, but making them from scratch is not always plausible.  Mixes are great for quickly whipping up these delicious breakfast items, but most mixes have some non-vegan, not to mention scary sounding, ingredients.  Next time you need to make some vegan  pancakes or waffles, use one of the mixes from our list of super vegan waffle and pancake mixes.

4. Dairy-free Milk and Creamers

Chances are you also need a morning cup of Joe to get your day going.  But, what can you put in there if you’ve sworn off milk and all other dairy derivatives?  Most non-dairy creamers not only have a slew of tongue-twisting ingredients, but also contain the ingredient sodium caseinate, a derivative of casein (the protein found in milk), meaning they are not suitable for vegans.  But, if you can’t imagine drinking your coffee without a splash of creamer, check out the list of amazing dairy-free creamers or check out some plant-based milks.

5. Awesome Snacks

No vegan pantry is complete without some snacking options, so what better than snacks that are both healthy and delicious?  Worried about your protein intake?  We’ve got snacks for you.  Want to add some superfoods into your diet.  We’ve got recommendations for those.  All you really want is a candy bar, you say?  Well, we’ve got a list for those, too.

6. Turbo-Charged Smoothie Boosters

If you are a super healthy Green Monster, than you probably drink green smoothies on a regular basis.  While, on their own, green smoothies are a powerful way to get loads of nutrients into your diet, you may want to kick yours up a notch.  If that’s the case, try adding one (or more) of the smoothie boosters from this list.

And there you have it.  Your shelves will be stocked and your tummy will be happy.  Now go spread the word about these delicious vegan pantry staples.

I decided to do this in a three part series so that you can start with your current fitness level and build up as you get stronger! These routines are a great way to get total body toning because they combine fat burning cardio intervals with intensifying strength intervals. Each level gets harder so move up at your own pace and track your progress along the way! Do these with a few days a week of whatever cardio you like, running and walking are my favorites.

Remember, the most important thing is to listen to your body, if something is too hard scale back or if you need an extra rest day take it. Don’t forget at least one total rest day per week! You can find demos for each of the strength moves  on youtube too. :)

There’s tons more at home exercise plans here! :)

you can preach about slut-shaming all you want, but you can’t deny there’s something very wrong with 13 and 14-year old girls going out in skirts and dresses so short they barely cover their asses and shirts with necklines so low they show off cleave they haven’t got yet, drinking and even smoking and hooking up with guys before they even have a substantial knowledge of how sex and sexual relationships work.

stormnightstories:

1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

3. care less.

4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything. 

6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small. 

8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

9. organize your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything. 

15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

16. lay in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.
