“Disconnected from life and the real world, disconnected from all that is pain. The place that I call my kingdom has driven many mortals insane. To this place I mean to take you, I have so much to show, lay down your flowers my love to this place we must go. Seasons change when I go to Hades. / Why do you kick, why do you scream? Do you not know what lies ahead? You will sit beside me as my queen, here in the realm of the dead. You were promised to me by my brother, this may give you much grief. You can cry all you want for your mother once you feast from oblivion, you will never leave.”

The Nu Project’s Nude Photos Tell The Truth About Women’s Bodies

The Nu Project is a no-glamor honest look at beauty and image in our world.

Female nudity isn’t hard to come by in the media, but the bodies we see usually represent a fairly limited scope of sizes and shapes. The Nu Project, a collection of nude photographs shot by Minneapolis photographer Matt Blum, seeks to add some variety to the mix. Blum started The Nu Project in 2005 but said it really took off when his wife, Katy Kessler, became the project’s editor. Blum sees the photos as filling a void. “When I started shooting nudes there was no project like it,” he told The Huffington Post in an email. The things that I had seen either used models with typical model bodies or average people who were made to look extremely unimpressive. I figured there was a way to treat women (of any size/shape) like models and photograph them beautifully, respectfully without a lot of sexual under or overtones. The women photographed are all volunteers, and most of the pictures are taken in the subjects’ homes — where they feel most comfortable. The Nu Project’s website showcases six galleries of nudes, three shot in North America, three in South America. Although Blum told HuffPost that he feels that they have a “good variety of people involved,” he and Kessler acknowledge on The Nu Project website that they’d love for the subjects to be more diverse. “The hardest part for us is that the project is 100 percent volunteer, so I do not see the women until I show up at their door,” Blum writes on the website. “We’re doing our best to encourage all types of women, but we need volunteers of all backgrounds and walks of life to make the project more complete.” Blum said he ultimately hopes that these images inspire the women who see them to feel better about their own bodies. “It’s been really exciting to hear people react to the images,” he told HuffPost. “We get a lot of feedback from women (especially) who have struggled to see themselves as beautiful, and this project has helped them on that path.”

Amazing Lunch! I highly suggest that anyone tries this for a healthy lunch or breakfast :) They taste A LOT better then they may sound

Broccoli, Tuna, Egg Muffin Bites

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix together 1 egg, half a can of white tuna, and as much broccoli as you want and pour it into a muffin pan (it took up 3 spaces for me) then add in egg whites to each until it is almost full (I used the kind that come in a carton, and don’t fill too much because they do rise as they bake)

Add pepper on top for taste if you want

Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until you can see that the egg is fully cooked all the way to the top
