Fifth Edition

Are you surviving in this massive heat wave?! We hope so. We’re just barely holding on over here at Women On Fire HQ. The A/C is on high while we’ve been glued to our computers. So what that really means is that we have some really fantastic links for you this week!

OK, here we go…

Best Faux BBQ- Our mouth’s are watering just looking at this. Deb from Smitten Kitchen never fails to disappoint  and her Slow and Low Dry Rub Oven Chicken is another winner!

Best App- For those of you looking to get your OM on just about anywhere, Lululemon has saved the day again by offering you an app that does exactly that! Never miss another sun salutation with their om finder.

Best Thing We Have Ever Seen Period- Thought the Jungle Book was just make believe…think again. Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre was born in Nambia and traveled the world with her photo journalist parents. Seriously, you HAVE to see these pictures.

Best Reminder to Rewind- This is an awesome article the New York Time’s did on the science behind nostalgia.

Best Gardens Around the Globe- Calling all green thumbs or anybody who wishes they could keep a plant alive longer than a week. These gardens gathered by Condé Nast are the ultimate escape.

Best 911 Lifesaver- Have you ever needed a toothpick so bad that it hurt, or got a run in your stockings at the most inopportune time? Haven’t we all? Well Pinch has solved that problem and every other last minute 911 with their adorable purse sized minimergency kits. We are obsessed.

Best Lunch Break- Need a breath of fresh air? Check out calm.com’s guided meditations that range from 2 min. to 20 min.

Best New Movie- Brought to you by the same people who did Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, The Way Way Back is a fun summer movie that just opened last week. It got an 84% on rotten tomatoes and we can personally vouch that it’s a must see!

Best Defense Against the Sun- We try to go Organic as often as possible, and thought you might appreciate 21 of the best natural sunscreens out there. There is nothing better than protecting your skin without chemicals!

Here are some even more links in case you missed last week’s, or the the week before that!

As always we hope you are staying cool and that these links light up your week, like they did for us.
