From Black Girls Run!:

Reader Question: I am 35 years old and I am a semi-beginner runner. I have been running for about one year now. I have noticed that I have been sweating a lot lately. So much so that my head band, shirt, bra etc. are soaked. I am ok with the sweating but my face is not taking it well. I seem to be breaking out now, something I have never dealt with before. Is this something you have experienced? Can you pose the question to your readers for some suggestions? I have taken face wipes to the gym to clean right after. I have been washing with acne wash. Nothing seems to be working. Thanks in advance for your help!

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States, and childhood obesity has become such a growing concern that it's an item on the White House's agenda. First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign is already in full swing, and recently Beyonce joined to endorse the "Lets Move" campaign and encourage kids to stay fit and eat healthily. But is this health kick going too far now that Sketchers' Shape-Ups are being marketed to tweens?

Beyonce has teamed up with First Lady Michelle Obama to help with the anti-childhood obesity "Let's Move" campaign, and today (May 3) she popped into PS/MS 161 in New York City's Harlem to get the students on board with developing healthy eating habits and an exercise routine. Check out the video and photos from Beyonce's surprise visit.

Mother's Day is a day to honor and celebrate moms. But not all adult children feel compelled to do this! I have had more than one client rant about feeling obligated to honor their mothers simply because of cultural peer pressure.

By Joseph A. Califano Jr. and Louis W. Sullivan for The Washington Post: No action the Food and Drug Administration and the Obama administration could take would do more to save lives, reduce health-care costs and curb the tobacco industry's exploitation of children and minority teens than to ban menthol flavoring in cigarettes.

Lack. It is what drives us in our need to compete and get ahead. Greed comes from lack. War stems from lack.

According to a study, black women who use chemicals in their hair and then braid or weave it are subject to permanent hair loss.

Anyone who's seen Beyonce perform knows that her body is not a product of classic Hollywood starvation. The singer pulls out all the stops when she gets on stage, usually giving a full two-hour, sweat inducing, dance-filled performance that lends itself heavily to her the toned abs, arms and thighs.

As her hits are enough to give you a full workout while listening to her in your home, Beyonce has teamed up with Michelle Obama and the Let's Move! campaign to create "Move Your Body," a dance workout video set to the tune of her hit song "Get Me Bodied."

There's a good explanation for why those on the receiving end of childhood torment usually end up on top: the geek turns into the CEO, the freak becomes the artist and, in most cases, the fat kid is the life of every party.

However, some things have changed over time: any hipster will tell you that it's hip to be square, and arty style rebels like Lady Gaga and teen fashion maven Tavi Gevinson have inner freaks reveling the world over. But what about the fat kid?

Well, the fat kid is still being called names, hiding behind billowy clothes, and enduring uncomfortable stares from passersby. And while the country's new healthy eating initiative is aimed for the better, it's also spurned a whole new generation of health-conscious adults proudly wielding their disgusted, disapproving stares when they see an obese child on the street.
