Nike has a new ad campaign that’s pretty kick a**. I caught them posted on FB and thought they were pretty cool. Actually I think anything that tells me it’s okay to have “thunder thighs” is awesome…a “muffin top” is a different story though. Since it’s kind of hard to read the phrases, I typed [...]

“So today, KT, we’re going to work to failure…”
