His Cheating Heart

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Let’s face it, sometimes we good girls fall for the bad boys. We get roped in by his devilish good looks, his daring motorcycle tricks, and his piercing eyes. We will buy whatever he is selling without thinking twice. Well, don’t be fooled by the wolf in sheep’s clothing! Here are some signs that your bad boy might be cheating.

If your guy begins presenting you with tons of gifts as though he is compensating for something, be on the look out because he probably is. If your guy is accusing you of cheating with no evidence, this could be a classic case of him turning the tables on you to make you look like the bad guy. Other red flags could be your guy not being nearly as affectionate with you as he normally is, or perhaps he is beginning to criticize your every move. Finally, if your mate is very defensive when you are asking them normal questions about where they were and what they were doing, consider that he may have something to hide.

Detecting if someone is being unfaithful is not a perfect science by any means. You don’t want to be naïve, but you also don’t want to be overly paranoid. At the end of the day, you just have to trust your instincts. So don’t let the good guy finish last while you’re pining after a dog. Choose a man who is worthy of your affection!

Getting Closer Despite the Distance

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Long distance. Two little words that can equal big problems. No worries ladies, I am here to not only give you hope, but to also give you tips on how to make long distance relationships work. I recently met a young couple, Mike and Nikki, who have been going strong for three and a half years. They shared some great insights on how they maintain the romance when the space between is vast.

First off, look at this as an opportunity to really get established in your career. You can work those extra shifts and take those business trips that might become harder to do once you relocate to the same zip code. Next, always keep up the communication. Calling each other every night before you go to bed and giving each other an in depth rundown of the highs and lows of your day keeps each other in the loop and feeling connected. Thoughtful text messages and emails are also a nice touch throughout a busy day. It’s a short and sweet means to show your sweetie that you care. The most important element is seeing one another whenever you possibly can. So budget in trips and plan ahead. Whether you visit each other’s respective city or find an in between location for a weekend getaway, in person rendezvous must be a priority. If the time between visits is filled with thoughtful connections and daily briefings, then your weekend won’t be about playing catch-up, it’ll be about getting caught up in the romance.

Nikki said, “Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder. I miss him like crazy when we are apart, but that overwhelming giddiness that I still get when my plane is about to land goes to show that I still care for him now just as much as I did when we met. It isn’t always about finding the most convenient relationship. It is more about finding something that you are happy in”. So ladies, just remember the best things in life are not always the easiest to maintain. Do the work now, and later the relationship will be that much sweeter.

Quick Tip For Beautiful Skin

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Hello lovely ladies! We all like to possess a beautifully natural glow, but it’s certainly not enviable to appear shiny. But, after all, we are human, and it is perfectly normal to need a little powder application from time to time. For those of you with more sensitive skin, putting on layers of makeup can lead to breakouts or a caked on look. Not to mention that sometimes in our rush to get ready we forget to throw some oil blotting pads in our purse. So, the next time you are sitting across from a handsome man over a wonderful meal and you are wondering if your face is shining in the candlelight, excuse yourself and go to the ladies’ room. Most bathrooms have kleenex or tissue paper. These double wonderfully as oil blotting sheets and keep you from looking like you are wearing too much makeup by layering on the powder. Try it next time, you’ll thank me when your date compliments your gorgeous skin!
