Best Word Play- Over at Women on Fire we are HUGE fans of watching TEDTalks, and many of our women have even participated over the years.

Best Treat Without Bulge– Food allergies seem to be the new thing, and many of our Women on Fire team members swear by the Paleo Diet.

Best Reminder– We don’t normally like to embrace the negative over here at Women on Fire, but we ran across this article on Huffington Post titled the 23 Things Every Woman Should Stop Doing and were intrigued. Some are harder to practice than others, but this serves as a great reminder to practice self-love every day. Let us know which one inspires you to work on.

Best Spuds– Do you love potatoes like we love potatoes?
