1. Digital Devices While On The Toilet

There is something about reading an email from your mom while in despose that just doesn't sit right (no pun intended). Try letting your mind wander or read a magazine. Give yourself a reason to detach from the digital cuffs. 

2. Tinder

How often do you hear "I just went on the best date ever with someone I met on Tinder!"?

Try Coffee Meets Bagel, a tasteful version of Tinder.

3. Selfies

You are only hurting yourself, STOP.

Try taking a photo with a friend. You can still promote your hot-self without crying for attention.

4. Slouching

Did you know that sitting up straight takes off 5lbs?

Try pretending a string is connecting the top of your head to the ceiling.

5. Gossip

You will always feel guilty after. Always.

Try accepting and move on to another topic that will make you feel good. 

6. Shots

We know trying to give up alchohol or caffine is fast track to failure.

Try just giving up shots of hard alchohol or caffine (i.e. 5 hour energy, cappuccino), eliminating binge drinking, just as good! 

7. High Rise TOOO Short Jean Shorts

Ladies, no. Bad.

Try something that covers your tush.
