Swimwear for Us "Not So Skinny" Girls
Summer is finally here, and I love it! Wearing less clothes, walking barefoot in the grass, celebrating my birthday, and having lots of fun in the sun with family and friends are just a few of the things I look forward to! And if you're like me, a lot of that fun in the sun includes spending time in the pool and at the beach which can be a little stressful for us "not so skinny" girls! Finding that swimsuit that covers up what we need it to and be dope at the same time can be a real trip and sometimes even a journey! Well, stress no more! That figure-flattering, trendy swimsuit we've been looking for is finally here! Check these out! You can find these suits and more on sites like *Always for Me, Bare Necessities, Spanx, Swimsuits For All, and Lane Bryant! Happy Summer!
*Stores recommended by plus size style guru, Nicolette Mason for Marie Claire, June, 2013.

Hip Hop + Science = Science Genius Battles
Rap legend and Wu-Tang Clan co-founder, GZA has teamed up with the director of secondary school initiatives at the Urban Science Education Center in New York City, and urban education expert, Dr. Christopher Emdin, along with the rap lyrics website, Rap Genius, to launch a special project that teaches science through the art of hip hop called "Science Genius Battles". Currently in ten New York City schools, students write raps about science subjects for a chance to win a private tour of the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City and have their rhyme posted on Rap Genius.
