1. 7 Roasted Vegetables Your Family Will Love (via Babble.com)
Love is a pretty strong word when it’s involving vegetables but these do look pretty tasty. Good luck getting your little ones to agree!
2. 10 yoga poses to help you look good naked. Not much more we can say about this one.
3. Dill pickle dip! Not the healthiest thing in the world but it’s a very easy to make, guaranteed hit for your get-together or a snack for the fam.
4. Are you happy? chart. I love this handly little infographic. It’s snarky and a little tongue-in-cheek but so true.
5. 7 protein-packed vegetarian meals (from FitSugar.com)
Featured Friend of DailyFeats: Generosity Day
Click the image to go to the Causes.com Generosity Day page
We were excited to reboot Valentine’s Day with Sasha Dichter, creator of the Acumen Fund, and his wonderful idea that shows how true, selfless love of our fellow (wo)man combined with simply saying “yes” to requests can make a difference in the world.
Generosity Day challenges you to do one simple thing differently: Say “yes” to anyone who asks you for something, whether that be help, advice, or a buck for coffee. It’s an exercise in disabling the filter that has inevitably set up shop over our brains and hearts in this crazy world of noise. We’re constantly tuning things out so that we can go about our lives peacefully.
Today is different. Be all ears - be all action. You’d be surprised how much good paying it forward can do for all of us.
Here are some DailyFeats members who we found giving without even telling them too! Since they were already acting out generosity in their lives, we gave a little back to them. I’d say they were pretty pleased, wouldn’t you?
Watch Sasha Dichter’s TEDTalk on the original inspiration for Generosity Day here.

Nonprofit Spotlight: The Oath Project
Since the financial crisis in 2008, pressure has mounted on financial leaders to take responsibility for their actions. The Oath Project, one of our non-profit partners, is designed to teach business managers to implement ethical and socially responsible business into their responsibility into the culture, core values, and day-to-day operations. Financial leaders and their companies employ more than half of the US population. Don’t you think that they should be held to the same ethical practices as leaders in different professions?
The Oath Project especially aims to teach ethical business practices to future business leaders while they are still school. Distrust for financial leaders is higher than ever recorded, so there is no better time than the present to teach our future leaders how to conduct business in a way that benefits us all.
Over 7,000 people have taken the Oath so far, and we are super excited to announce that The Oath Project was invited to attend Europe’s leading student-run conference on responsible business February 23-24. Taking the Oath is easy; however, knowing how to implement these strategies and their benefits is the hardest part.
You can take the oath on their website. Learn more about it here, and sign it here. Don’t forget to check it in through the DailyFeats widget on the right-hand bottom corner of the homepage:
