WORK IT GIRL

I am thrilled beyond thrilled actually. I've always grown up around sports and have been an athlete my whole life. In fact, I still remember having a t-shirt as a kid that said, "Forget the doll, give me the ball." My mother made me throw it away eventually. Back then I was considered a tomboy. It wasn't normal for a girl to be good at sports or play the majority of time with boys at recess. That was me, and still is me. I LOVE SPORTS. Now though, it excites me that the "athletic" body type is becoming a social norm. Girls everywhere now have muscles and aren't toothpick thin. Girls are doing cross-fit, yoga, running, sand volleyball, basketball, weight lifting- it's everywhere and they are rocking it. The tomboy is now getting just as many likes as the skinny model and it's about damn time!!! There is nothing more satisfying than wearing workout clothes, running shoes, and my hair in a pony tail. Nightly, I find
myself putting in headphones, blasting my music, and completely losing myself as I run. So work it girls, keep it up and don't give up, because the tomboy isn't so TARABLE after all. 
XOXO, Tara
