7 Ways to Deal with an Awkward First Date … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 12:05 PM PST First dates are always the most nerve-wracking! Are you dressed right? Do you smell good? What will you talk about? Read these 8 tips to help turn an awkward date into an awesome date! 1. Plan Ahead Now don’t go and write cue cards for all the awkward silences, but you can have some topic ides of things you’d like to talk about stashed away in your brain. Go prepared to avoid all awkward silences and keep conversation flowing smoothly. 2. Start With Action Rather than beginning with the traditional “dinner and a movie” date where you are forced right into conversational times, start with something like the local fair or circus, or the rodeo. This will allow you to get to know each other a little better before you have to start talking a lot. 3. If All Else Fails, Tell A Joke Nothing like a little laughter to loosen the tense mood of an awkward date. Have a few in reserve for this situation, and make sure you’re not going to offend your date.

9 Adorable Christmas Cards For Your Loved Ones … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 11:53 AM PST Don’t you love receiving christmas cards from your loved ones? We all love knowing that someone though of us! Make sure you put the same amount of time and thought into the christmas cards you buy for your family and friends. It may be just another card- but if you do it right it could be the very one that means the most to someone and brightens up their whole holiday season with a bit of cheer! Here are 9 adorable christmas cards for your loved ones! 1. Snowmen Awww! Can you already hear the “oooh’s” and “ahhh’s” when someone open up the card you sent them to a cute little wintery-white snowman? I’ve never met some one who didn’t like snowmen! They are cute and wintery and -of course- magical! Remember frosty? He’s the best snowman of all! Celebrate winter and christmas by sending out jolly snowman wishes. An added bonus is that snowmen cards will be super easy to find and purchase, but most people never grow tired of seeing them! 2. Picture Cards In order to make sure you don’t end up in the bottom of a drawer- or worse!- consider sending out a picture card! You can have them made up at Wal-mart or order them online for a very low cost! Choose from a variety of different backgrounds and colors and even add your own personal message if you want! They usually come with envelopes too so all you have to do is address them and pop them in the mailbox! Talk about easy! And everyone loves seeing how your kids have grown. If you don’t have kids, a picture of your pet is always cute. Of course, any of your friends or family members will love to look at your beautiful face as well! 3. Rudolph I don’t think I’ve ever seen a christmas card with rudolph on it. Not to say that there isn’t, because I’m sure there is. I just think he looks so festive and jolly and bright, wouldn’t it be cute to find a card with a little red felt nose on it? I’m sure santa would approve! Poor rudolph, he was so self- conscious about that nose. Bet he never would have guessed that would be the very thing to make him so popular and beloved huh? I love watching the classic cartoons at christmas time! Makes me feel like a kid again!

10 Things You Wish to Control But Can’t … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 10:14 AM PST People have always had the need for control. We will always have the desire to have power over the many things in our lives. We create rules and set boundaries. We try to hold our authority on things whenever we can. But as much as you want to be in control of everything, there are just some things escape your controlling hands. 1. Nature Photo Credit: Tonia Aquila You may be on top of Nature's food chain, but you do not have power over Mother Nature. The natural events that occur in our world are unpredictable and cannot be controlled. 2. Traffic Photo Credit: doug88888 You can decide what mode of transportation to take and what time of the day to travel. But in reality, you cannot control how the traffic will turn out on a particular moment. 3. Economy Photo Credit: shotbart It is hard to control the factors that affect the economy especially if the whole world is involved. You can wish all you want for better exchange rates and a booming economy, but you don't really have control over how the market will turn out.

10 Signs That Christmas Has Arrived … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 09:44 AM PST It’s the most wonderful time of the year….and it’s here! Finally! After a long year full of busy schedules, activities, school and other things, it’s time to kick back and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones. For some, it may be a more special time of year than others – you know the ones I mean, those christmas addicts who practically live for the christmas season! I must confess I’m up there at the top of that list, and who can blame us! It’s a crazy, jolly, happy and blessed time of year to come together with friends and family and lots of good food and exchange gifts as we celebrate the birth of christ. Don’t you just love that special feeling in the air as christmas day draws closer and closer? Here are 10 signs that christmas has arrived! 1. Crowds Christmastime inevitably brings crowds. Whether it be at the mall, at church, parties and celebrations, or family gatherings, there are people no matter where we go! Although it can be harassing and stressful at times, it’s all part of the merriment and jolliness of the holiday season! Crowds while you are trying to shop may get on your nerves, but when it comes to family, try and remember it’s only for a little while and enjoy the time you have with them. Then it’s all over until next year! 2. Window Displays I just love walking down the streets at christmas time and doing a bit of window shopping! The displays are always so merry and bright and full of good cheer! And the street lamps are usually decked out too. Seeing the little toy trains and beautiful china dolls and all the lights and holly in the store windows puts me in a great mood. It’s such a sweet thing to see the faces of all the kids lighting up when they walk past a huge window display and start to dream about finding that very toy under the tree come christmas morning!

7 of My New Year Resolutions … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 09:38 AM PST I love to write down a few resolutions, though I’ve never been able to keep them very good. Just for fun, I wanted to share my 7 New Year’s Resolutions for this coming year. 1. Lose Some Weight I want to knock off a few pounds this coming year. My goal is to even be smaller than I was when I married! What do you think my hubby will think about that? I can’t wait to get to buy a brand new wardrobe! 2. Get Into Shape On top of losing weight, I want to get fit. I want to be able to run full-throttle after my three year old for hours and not get out of breath! 3. Fix Up My Home I am ready to get these renovations done that have been waiting to be done for a while now. I am hoping to add me a new living room on and another bedroom, and get this place fixed up a bit more!

7 Affordable Sites to Shop at … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 09:08 AM PST I'm going to cut the big speech today, ladies and skip to the chase — I can't do anything to help end the economy crisis but I can certainly give you some tips on how to save and still get the items you need. The answer lies in the "clearance" or "sale" section of our favorite sites. However, if you don't have any sites in your favorites, be sure to check out these that I'm about to list. Some of them are so affordable you don't even have to hit the "clearance" section, some are already known for their budget-friendly products while some offer good deals on everything from designer goods to furniture. Here they are: 1. H&M My experience with this brand is that sometimes quality is not proportional to the money you spend. Everything I've bought at H&M stores looks perfect despite the fact that I showed no mercy when it comes to machine washing and my usual wear and tear regime. So, if you have no H&M shop in your area, check out their selection on this site. And a piece of good news for the fashion lovers – this brand has launched a special collection of shoes, dresses, coats and much more designed by Lanvin! So you can get your piece of haute couture today, for a price that won't make you go totally broke! 2. Ami Clubwear Gorgeous platform pumps for just 15 bucks?! You don't have to take my word for it, check out the site and pay special attention to the clearance section. I've noticed that this company looks up to the famous designers quite a lot so, if you ever wished for a pair of gorgeous shoes that are not ridiculously expensive, this is a place to start your search. But, hey, listen to me, I'm going on and on about the shoes like they are the only thing there! You can find cute dresses, accessories, swimwear and even sexy costumes. Definitely worth checking out.

10 Things I’ve Learned From Living With Cats … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 09:02 AM PST I've shared many years of my life with cats, both in my own home and working with them as a volunteer. In that time, I've learned an awful lot about their characters, their welfare, and what they can teach us. Here are just some of those things. 1. Relaxation Photo Credit: megditi In our busy lives, we find it so hard to switch off. But does a cat have the same problem? No he does not! If he wants to go to sleep, he just curls up and off he goes. No worrying at all. We humans could take a lesson in the importance of 'time out' from cats. 2. Play Photo Credit: Foto Cats Everyone needs to have fun sometimes. Playing with a cat is a great way to do that. Yes, to him it's exercising serious hunting skills, but it's very amusing to watch as they chase string and scrunched up paper. Plus, watching a cat play by itself can be hilarious as well. 3. Tranquility Photo Credit: Birdie2533 Admittedly, my cats do sometimes squabble with each other, but that's only natural. Aside from this, they are generally very peaceful and relaxed. When I see them stretching, rolling and yawning, I think that we humans could do with enjoying some tranquil moments instead of needing to be busy all the time.

7 Tips for Wrapping Holiday Gifts … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 08:52 AM PST I love almost everything about the holidays — the hustle and bustle, the decorations, the shopping, the snow, spending time with friends and family — but I'm not so fond of wrapping gifts. Over the past few years, though, I've developed a system, and now it's not nearly as bad as it used to be, when I'd flounder to wrap everything on Christmas Eve and end up with paper cuts and finally decide to just use gift bags for everything. Here are 7 tips for wrapping holiday gifts. 1. Wrap as you go There's nothing worse than realizing, on Christmas Eve, that you have a massive pile of gifts to wrap within about an hour. Wrap the gifts (and label them) as you buy them, so you're not intimidated when you have to wrap them all at once. Don't procrastinate! The longer you wait to start wrapping, the worse it will be. 2. You get what you pay for So you've just spent eight minutes wrapping your boyfriend's "big" gift, and when you're attaching the bow, the cheap paper you used ripped. Shoot! Unfortunately, when it comes to wrapping paper, you get what you pay for. You'll pay a little more for the good paper, but it's with it when you only have to wrap your gifts once, not twice. Trust me. 3. Go eco-friendly If you're giving something that already comes in a box or a bag, why waste paper and tape wrapping it again? Add a ribbon, bow, or gift tag, and leave it at that! It's better for the environment and your sanity.

8 Cutest Bras … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 08:45 AM PST Every woman deserves to have at least one cute bra! Did you know that wearing cue underclothes can make you feel sexy even on your worst day? Even if no one ever sees it but you, treat yourself to a gorgeous, sexy bra today! Here are my top 8 picks. 1. Betsey Johnson Stretch Cotton Bralette Price: $12.90 at shop.nordstrom.com Am I the only girl who thinks underwire bras are impossibly uncomfortable? I understand that they offer excellent support, and there are a few comfy ones out there, but my favorite option is wearing this totally comfortable bra with no wires at all! I love the adjustable straps and the adorable stripe design and you will too. 2. Elle Macpherson Intimates Contour Bra Price: $37.00 at shop.nordstrom.com Want to look ultra feminine and chic? Go for this hot pink lacy little number! You’ll feel girly and sexy all day long! Antique inspired lace gives this bra a romantic air. Champagne anyone? 3. Felina Full Coverage Bra Price: $24.00 at shop.nordstrom.com Aqua is my absolutely favorite color and this bra is rocking it! You will look and feel super sexy and so cute in this sweet bra that provides full support and shaping. I love the plunging shape of it! Doesn’t it remind you of a pool in the summer?

8 Reasons to Stay Single, But Together… and How … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 08:36 AM PST My boyfriend and I have been co-habitating for a year and a half now, with no plans to marry. It's not that we're not in love, or aren't great partners — we've both been married before, and neither of us wants to be married again. If everything's going so well, and we're both happy, why should we? Here are 8 reasons we stay single, but together, and how we make it work. 1. We don't plan to have children Photo Credit: [Katsumi] I already have two daughters, one of whom is grown, and my boyfriend has three children. Neitehr of us wants any more children, which is really the only reason I married my second husband to begin with (and we all know how well THAT worked out). 2. The laws still protect us Photo Credit: Fixed Image Just because we're not married doesn't mean my boyfriend and I can't have some of the same legal benefits as a married couple. As long as you complete all of the necessary paperwork, you can still inherit your boyfriend's massive fortune, should anything happen to him. Or, well, his massive collection of ramen noodles and back issues of Maxim. 3. We're prepared for emergencies Photo Credit: victoria-plum Should anything happen to me or my boyfriend, we both know what to do, who to call, and even how to plan in the event that one of us dies. Again, this takes very little legal work, and gives us both a lot of peace of mind.

8 Tips for Surviving a Bridezilla … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 06:57 AM PST It happens. It happens in real life, not just on television. I think just about every woman – myself included – has the potential to become a bridezilla. It's not because you're a bad person, but because planning a wedding is so stressful. For many, it's the most important day of your life and it often seems like everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. So, check out these 8 tips for surviving a bridezilla! 1. Nod and Smile Photo Credit: Stuck in Customs Sometimes, it's the smartest thing you can do. When the Better Half starts in on ice sculptures and things, that's what I do. "Yes dear," I nod and smile, because you have to remember: this is only temporary. Regardless of what the actually Bridezilla show portrays, brides-to-be are not monstrous, they are just stressed! They want everything to be perfect, and sometimes you have to go along with it. 2. Compromise Anytime you can negotiate with a bridezilla, you are coming out on top. As a bride, you also need to be willing to compromise. She may not be in the right head space to realize that she can't always get what she wants, can't afford what she wants, and so on. There are always ways to negotiate though, even if you have to seek it out. 3. Listen, Listen, Listen Sometimes, the bride just wants someone to listen to her. She may know her idea is a bad idea, or too much, or simply not possible, and she simply wants to talk it through with you. Don't immediately start freaking out yourself if you hear the phrase "ice sculpture." She might just want to say that she likes the idea but thinks it's over the top, and then get your opinion on the subject.

9 Beautiful Wedding Bands … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 06:23 AM PST I'm not a very conventional girl, but there are a few traditions I hold dear to my heart, like standing with my hand over my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance at football games, crying during certain movies, and married people wearing wedding bands. It's such an important symbol, not just because it signals to the world that you're unavailable for pursuit, but also because it's a symbol of love, a constant reminder that your husband adores you. Such a symbol ought to be as beautiful and unique as you are, right? Why settle for a plain, unadorned band, when there are so many gorgeous, more meaningful ones to choose from? If you're getting married, or are ready for an upgrade, keep reading. Here are 9 beautiful wedding bands. Not only are they gorgeous, they're also made ethically, with conflict-free diamonds and recycled gold and platinum. 1. Brilliant Earth Platinum Leaves and Buds Diamond Ring Price: $1,450 at brilliantearth.com Inspired by nature, and featuring an open-work pattern of beautiful leaves and vines with diamond "buds," this ring can be cast in platinum, 18k yellow or white gold. All three are gorgeous, and have a total 0.15 carat weight. This would be a pretty wedding or anniversary band. 2. Brilliant Earth Platinum Channel Set Round Diamond and Sapphire Ring Price: $1,300 at brilliantearth.com The sparkling blue sapphires make this ring startlingly gorgeous, three deep blue sapphires alternating with three flawless round-cut diamonds in a unique channel setting. This ring measures 3mm wide, and can be engraved with a personal, romantic message for only $40 more.

7 Surprising Items You Should Buy in Bulk … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 05:45 AM PST Bulk buying is a kind of controversial topic. It seems to be more prevalent in the United States, and I totally understand the points made against it. No one really needs ten gallons of mayonnaise. However, there are benefits to buying certain items in bulk. Rather than being greedy, buying these things in bulk purchases can ultimately save time and money. Here are 7 purchases that might surprise you. 1. Paper Products Photo Credit: stanchow Paper towels, napkins, printer paper, and the most important paper product: toilet paper. It makes sense to buy these items in bulk, because you always need them. If you have children in school or go to school yourself, you can even add notebooks onto that last. With paper towels and toilet paper, especially, you will save lots of time and money. Wouldn't it be nice not to have to run out to the store due to an unpleasant, revealing trip to the bathroom? 2. Cereal Photo Credit: Steven Vance This won't work with everyone, so you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. I don't know about you, but I frequently change cereals. I have a new favorite every few months, maximum. Lots of other adults are like that well, to say nothing of kids. However, if you feel confident that a big box or two – or more – will last for a while without going to waste, and if it turns out to be a good deal, go for it! 3. Cooking Oil Photo Credit: @kevinv033 Cooking oil is one of those key items I frequently run out of without really realizing it. So, when I do need it, I don't have it. If you use it a lot, and if it will let you save enough to make it worth it, then buying large bottles or bulk amounts can be helpful. The same goes for cooking spray. Actually, it goes double for cooking spray; I never have that when I need it, and I need it all the time.

7 Signs You are a High Maintenance Girlfriend … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 05:14 AM PST You might think of yourself as a fairly easy-going person, but to your friends and family members you might be thought of as being high maintenance. Here are 7 signs you are a high maintenance girlfriend. It's always helpful to ask your man what he things too and hopefully he'll be honest! Some guys don't mind high maintenance women, while others are driven away by them. It might be a good idea to find out what type of girl your man prefers. 7. Anything less than the best just won’t do Photo Credit: Carlee Ross Clean cars, fancy hotels, expensive restaurants, etc are the only kind you'll accept. No used furniture or clothing for you! You wouldn't be caught dead in a thrift store or second hand store of any kind, no matter what part of the neighborhood it was in. You're all about name-dropping, so well known products and places are a must. 6. No hair can be out of place Photo Credit: Rafee H. Are you one of those girlfriends that have to go to the hair salon before every social event? Do you spend more time and money on your hair than the rest of the women in your family combined? Most high maintenance women can't simply put their hair up in a pony tail or messy bun and head out the door. Hair styling is a huge process and takes sometimes hours to complete. 5. Manicures and pedicures are set for each month Photo Credit: danipanda69 The occasional manicure or pedicure is necessary to keep nails from becoming cracked, broken, or looking rough in general. If you schedule pedicures and manicures weekly, then you might be considered high maintenance. Changing your nail color for each outfit might be a bit excessive as well. See if you can find a nice neutral color that will eliminate a few trips to get your nails done. It will save you time and money!

7 Ways to Prevent Osteoporosis … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 04:18 AM PST Osteoporosis has been linked to genetics and lifestyle. While genetics can't always be altered, changing your lifestyle to fight osteoporosis is a valid option. This condition causes bones to become more porous, which makes them easily compressed and more liable to break with very little effort. The 7 ways to prevent osteoporosis that are mentioned below cover quite a few aspects of health and wellness. 7. Limit the amount of protein you eat Photo Credit: TheBusyBrain The more protein you take in, the quicker you excrete calcium. Your body can only use so much protein. Extra protein is excreted, which takes along vitamins and minerals with it. Calcium is just one of the minerals drained from your body when protein is excreted. The type of protein that takes the most calcium with it is the kind that comes from animals. Eating lots of protein that is obtained from beans, grains, and other non-animal items is actually beneficial. 6. Toss some onions into meals Photo Credit: Chiot’s Run So far, the full benefit of onions, in regards to osteoporosis, hasn't been documented. However, onions do slow down the breakdown of bones. Since osteoporosis evolves when bones begin to thin, eating onions might actually help. Out of all the many types of onions available, those with a strong flavor to them tend to have a higher amount of antioxidants. Western yellow onions and New York Bold onions are two examples of onions that are strongly flavored. 5. Keep caffeine consumption down to a minimum Photo Credit: cgfan 3 cups of caffeinated coffee is supposed to be the safest maximum amount. Any more than this amount contributes to calcium depletion, therefore increasing the risk of osteoporosis. If you like your warm beverage in the morning, then you could try switching to a brew that has half the caffeine or go for a cup of hot tea instead. Tea has about half as much caffeine as coffee and a few brands actually have a lot less than that.

9 Reasons to Adopt a Child … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 03:47 AM PST Right now, I can think of 9 reasons to adopt a child. There are parents out there who get all depressed because they are not able to have a child. Meanwhile, there is a child sitting there, waiting for them. Waiting for their love. Are you ready for 9 reasons to adopt a child? 9. Tons Need Adopted Photo Credit: Gwen’s River City Images It is true, there are tons of children out there that are in the need of adoption. If you have an open home and are able to take on another child and be responsible, then adopting a child sounds like a great plan. 8. Understanding Other Cultures Photo Credit: Bazstyle | Photography If you were to adopt a child from another country, then you would gain an understanding of their culture. You will also develop a respect for the country the little one came from. 7. Gain the Love of a Child Photo Credit: Pink Sherbet Photography When you adopt a child, you are going to be gaining the love from another child. Now, you may not be related by blood, but really, that doesn't mean much. You can be just as good of a mom and dad, without having to be physically related to one another.

7 Things Men Crave … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 02:34 AM PST Being the only female in a house full of males, I know of many things guys crave and they don't all have to do with food. When I think of the word 'crave' I immediately think of things like chocolate covered cherries, dipping ginger snaps in melted chocolate, or just chocolate in general…all kinds! Having a husband and raising two teenage boys has opened my eyes to a new world of cravings, from a male point of view. Here are 7 things men crave, at least in this household. 7. Sports Photo Credit: Pixelklinik It doesn't matter if the sporting event is on television or at the boys' high school; both seem to bring up the level of testosterone in males. I've noticed that this isn't only with the males living in this household, but a majority of the men in general. They seem to thrive on the roughness seen in many contact sports. I've seen men sitting next to me with a wild look in their eyes as they watch a heated play in a football game. 6. Action Movies Photo Credit: ChristopherTaylor I have to admit, I do like a good action flick every now and then, but I also like to watch comedies and the occasional romance too. My husband and sons live off of action movies. The more explosions and shooting there is, the better; in their eyes. If they had their way, I'm sure action movies would be the only type watched. My husband used to work in special effects, so I'm sure some of his infatuation with action movies stems from being the one who once initiated the explosions in movies many years ago. 5. Soda Pop Photo Credit: Steve Hopson Whether it's called soda, pop, cola, or soda pop, it is preferred over water by my husband and one son. Many of the men I know will choose soda over juice, milk, or water. I'm not sure if it's the high fructose corn syrup that has them hooked or the fact that they can have some excellent belching contests when drinking carbonated beverages. This seems to be a favorite past time for my boys and their friends. Thankfully, they usually take this bonding activity outside and I don't have to listen to the chorus of belches.

8 Tips on Writing Love Letters … Posted: 23 Dec 2010 01:40 AM PST Love letters are not only fun to receive, but also to write. If you've never written one to your beloved and don't know where to begin, then the following 8 tips on writing love letters might come in handy. These tips should also work for those who feel they aren't good at writing love letters. Each tip provides information on little things you can do to help your letter get the reaction you are looking for. 8. Begin with elegant stationary Great stationary is a perfect starting point with any letter, especially a love letter. It doesn't have to be all froofry and covered in hearts to be considered for love letter stationary. Just make sure it is nice looking. Avoid writing a love letter on a piece of notebook paper that has a ring from your coffee cup. If you are able to be creative with that coffee cup stain, then go for it. However, starting with fresh and even somewhat elegant stationary will show you care, right from the start. 7. Don't be formal and dry in the letter After all, this is a letter filled with your heart and is to be read by the person you love the most. A love letter shouldn't be boring. Write how you feel and write the way you would say it; with lots of feeling. Toss in some humor if you think it will be appreciated. Humor and romance can easily go hand in hand. It's all in how you present it. 6. Include reasons why you love this person so much People love hearing how much they are loved and why. The answer, 'Because I do' isn't always enough. Be specific. An example might be, 'I love you because you can make me laugh' or 'I love you because you notice even the little things that I do'. If you can think of more than just a couple, then that's a great start. I think the more reasons you can put in the letter the better it will be.
