With all of our fashion might we want to believe this was done with good intentions. Nevertheless, the internet was met with displeasure today as news spread that Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to its customers; INCLUDING those who ordered plus size clothing. Yikes.

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly

Now being that it is summer and this brand is geared towards teens and the 20s set. Many of us probably are obsessing about how we currently look in our bikinis and IG photos. So then, Forever 21 may have felt like they were doing all of their consumer base a favor by sending out a mass supply of “healthy” conscious bars.

However, let’s get real. We are living in a world where a sneeze is enough to offend someone. Much less a popular clothing brand giving off the impression that it’s fans are well… fat. Therefore, how’d did everyone in the F21 corporate office miss this flub?

Several customers who received their fashion orders along with the bars took to social media in order to air their displeasure. Many were immediately offended by the gesture. Feeling that Forever 21 should apologize for their error. Some of their thoughts:

“I am FUMING that Forever 21 is actually sending Atkins Bars in Plus Size orders. Are you LITERALLY KIDDING me?? What is wrong with you?!”

“Yes shame on me for ordering from Forever 21 but why do they have to push diet food on me? It came with an Atkins bar.”

“Since Forever 21 feels I should go on a fad diet; maybe now is a good time to tell you all about my already existing fitness journey that doesn’t include Atkins Bars or Forever 21!”

“Forever 21 is a garbage company, and their PR team can choke.”

So How Should We Proceed Captain?

Strong words, huh? Well as of yet right now, Forever 21 is still keeping lips sealed. There are no current statements about the Atkins Bars or any formal apology.

While there is a multitude of customers who are upset about this food delivery. Still others are totally okay with it. Even prompting those who are mad that they received them; to forward the bars to them instead. One F21 fan said, “Bruh, its free food… shut up and eat it!”

Thus, showing that in this world it hard to please or satisfy anyone. We will await to see how Forever 21 decides to handle this situation.

Updated on

As a result, you have come across the right place because today we are sharing a cheat sheet, the iron rich foods vegetarian ultimate list!

Nevertheless, why exactly is that we need iron anyway? It is because our blood literally requires it in order for us to stay healthy. You see, iron is an extremely important component of hemoglobin; a substance found in red blood cells that helps to carry oxygen from our lungs to all around our body. Basically, helping with the transportation of oxygen to the parts of our body that needs it. Therefore, VERY vital.

Furthermore, if we begin to lack iron something bad starts to happen. Our body can no longer make enough healthy oxygen-carrying blood cells. Uh…oh. Yes, uh oh indeed! From there you can develop a lack of energy and begin to experience a dip in mental as well as physical performance. Low iron levels can cause a reduction in stamina and mental focus.

As one can see, iron is not something we can just forgo. Many choose to get their daily requirement from meat; however, if that is not your lifestyle or you just rather consume iron found in plants then the following list will certainly help you out!

Black Women Fitness: Serena Williams Splits Warm Up

Updated on Leave a Comment on Black Women Fitness: Serena Williams Splits Warm Up

Black Women Fitness Serena Williams Splits Warm Up

When we saw these photos our mouths literally dropped to the floor. Yes, we have fitness goals, but Serena shows how to really take things next level! In the pics Williams shows off her extreme flexibility which we are sure is one of the major reasons she dominates on the court. In a caption for the photos Serena even writes, “Proceed with caution.” Oh we will Serena, trust us we will LOL.

Flexibility is one of the most important yet often neglected aspects of fitness. Why is flexibility so important anyway when it comes to having a knockout physique? Here are three reasons why you should not ignore working on being more flexible:

1. Increases blood flow to the muscles.

2. Helps to improve performance in physical activities.

3. Decreases risk of injury since joints are encouraged to move their full range of motion.

So then, flexibility will protect you from needing a doctor after dance class and help you to be a better athlete. Nevertheless, being more limber is not always an easy task. We all have different ranges of flexibility which is why it is good not to compare ourselves to others. However, what are some ways that can help to improve the situation?

  • Warm Up– Never go straight into your workout, warm up first in order to prepare your body for more work. By the time you are done warming up you should be lightly sweating.
  • H20– Drink plenty of water because dehydrated muscles will not stretch to their full range of motion.
  • Be Still-Save static stretches for after your workout and remember not to stretch to the point of pain when holding positions.

There you have it girls some tips to help us all beast like Serena in the athletic department. None of us may win Wimbledon or a Grand Slam but who says we can’t look like we did! Keep up the good work Serena you inspire us to be more fit.
