Be A Sex Goddess @ 40 in No Time!

Ever wonder why sometimes your man can’t help turning his head when an attractive woman passes by and forgets that he’s with you? Ouch! Admit it that hurts. But you can’t blame him, can you? Have you looked closely to the mirror and checkout yourself?

Don’t lose hope, Gurl! You can still be a sex goddess though you’re on your way to mid-life. All it takes is a lot of determination and discipline. In no time, your man will put you on pedestal. Here are some ways that will keep your man’s eyes on you only.

Strictly follow the Food Pyramid Guide. Know your food and lessen your in take. Carbo-food and sweets are high in calories. Avoid these foods.

Detoxify. Cleanse your body by drinking more than 8 glasses of water a day. Aside from water, take high-fiber drink juice 3-4 times a day. This will help you move the unnecessary toxic waste from your body, even bad cholesterol.

Tone that Body. Hit to the gym and start working out. There are many programs in the gym to fit your personality.

Rejuvenate your being. Bring back the glow in your skin. Once in a while, visit a Spa or Derm Clinic to help you to rejuvenate your being. If you’re in tight budget, there are some home remedies for skin exfoliation. Check it out on some beauty books or magazine.

Sleep and Rest. Make sure you always get a straight 8 long hours of sleep daily. Sleep must not be taken in installment basis to make up 8 hours. That doesn’t work well. You’ll look like a Zombie if you do that. Your body will tend to be more sluggish and feel heavy fatigue if you lack sleep for a long period of time. Your mind and body are being recharged completely by having a complete 8 hour sleep.

Avoid Stress. Take it easy and slow down. Don’t beat up yourself too much by working beyond your capacity.

Don’t be a Shlumpadinka. It’s a word created by Oprah Winfrey referring to a woman who dresses as though she has completely given up, that she forget to be stylish. Gurl, you don’t wanna be a Shlumpadinka, do you? Start checking out your wardrobe and have a make over. Shop, if you must, for clothes that will enhance your assets.

Romance: Married Couples’ Nostalgia

Romance happens only in fairy tale as they say. It’s a fictional thing, yet many would like to experience it. People would do crazy things for “love”. Couples would engage themselves to different activities to have a romantic relationship. They say, “When you’re in love, you’re always in cloud 9.” How long would this feeling last? If you’re in love, you like to keep the romance forever. Thus, couples find themselves giving vows to each other through marriage. They promise to be together “for richer or poorer, ‘til death do they part.”

But reality check, married couples cannot sustain the romantic relationship. As the years passed by, romance fades. Only few married couples live up to their promise and keep the romance. Many couples struggle to make the romantic relationship intact because of each other’s differences. Change is inevitable. In the end, romance would be just married couples’ wishful thinking.

What one must do to keep the fire burning, so that the romance would not just be nostalgia in married life?

Here are few points to consider:
* Be sensitive to your partner’s need.
* Always be affectionate to your partner.
* Be grateful to your partner.
* Live passionately.
* Love intimately.

24/7 Kindness

Have you tried doing any act of kindness lately? But have you tried doing it everyday? A simple act of kindness will surely make someone’s day marvelous and even to you. So what are you waiting for? Act now! Be kind today and be kind 24/ever!

Here are simple acts of kindness that you can do 24/7:

Smile. The best way to start your day is to simply smile and share it to people around you. It’s a contagious thing yet never harms anyone.

Laugh. As the saying goes…”laughter is the best medicine”. Make someone laugh even with your corniest joke. Who knows, he/she needed it the most! You can make someone happy even for a moment and make him/her forget his/her problems for a meantime.

Share. Show some act of generosity. As you go to work, school, church, etc., give something. Anyone will not mind receiving a gum or a piece of bread from you. Surely you’ll be appreciated.

Volunteer. Offer your help. Don’t wait for anyone to ask for your assistance. If you see an opportunity to lend your hands, do it so. But make sure you are only there to help and not the one who will do all the works.

Appreciate. Demonstrate your appreciation often if you must. People love to know that they are being appreciated. They feel special when they receive as such. Don't forget to say the magic words "Thank you!"

Apologize. We sometimes have difficulty in admitting our mistakes. Be kind today and try admitting your mistakes. Apologize if you must. Saying “I’m sorry!” doesn’t make you less of a man. In fact, it makes you a better man.

Show Courtesy. No one likes rude people (even you)! So, quit saying foul languages when you converse. I’m sure you don’t mean to say the f--- word, but it’s been a bad habit. You’re not aware of it, but to converse with such language is already being rude. So, be polite anytime!

Quit the Bad Habit. Of course, you must show kindness to your own self. Be kind to your body and stop that bad habit of yours. Quit smoking, drinking, gambling, and/or any other vices. Quit fooling around and take care of your body.

Always remember: No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Online Chatting: Boon or Bane

Online chat refers to communicating and/or conversing over the Internet. But is it boon or bane?

Online chat allows people to communicate around the world. It makes it easier and faster to contact our loved ones who work abroad. It is a form of communication that can decrease the lonesomeness of a person. It can serve also as entertainment because one can meet new friends over the Internet. Also, through online chat, one may find his/her one true love. Amazing isn’t it? But through this technology, people may explore more things and take advantage the benefits of the online chatting. Since chatting may simple means informal conversation, people tend to forget some manners in conversing, or some are still inexperienced so they don’t know the basic rules in online chatting. As an example, it is considered rude to write only in UPPER CASE, because it looks as if you are shouting. Some may use online chatting as a venue to exploit themselves or others. It creates addiction to the users because of the exploitations that they find it incredibly sensational and triggers their innate sexuality.

In a nutshell: may it be boon or bane, online chatting is part of our growing world. It is up to the user whether he/she is for boon or bane. Just remember, one’s action may sometimes or oftentimes speak one’s being.

Intimacy: An Element of Happy Marriage

What is Intimacy? It is the confidence of two persons to express one’s being in a relationship that brings closeness to each other. One can truly express his/her thoughts, feelings or emotions, inner being, and even sensual desires to his/her partner without any inhibitions or hesitations. No person can experience intimacy alone. It is always and often shared with a partner. Thus, intimacy is one of the important elements of happy marriage.

Does intimacy fade? The level of intimacy changes, hence it can affect the relationship between couples. When it happens couples have to struggle to gain back the intimate feelings they had that makes them happy and contented. Yet on some cases, one would find someone else to satisfy his/her intimate desires. Therefore, couples must always nurture their intimacy with each other so that long lasting relationship will be fulfilled.

According to Gary D. Chapman, Ph.D., (author of Five Signs of a Loving Family), an essential ingredient of intimacy is allowing your spouse to be himself without striving to conform him to your ideals. In intimacy, we try to grow closer together, not to eliminate the "otherness," but to enjoy it. Men and women are different and we must not, even with good intentions, seek to destroy those differences. What keeps us from experiencing intimacy? All of us are egocentric; the world revolves around us. Yet, when we focus on self, we lose intimacy. The opposite of self-centeredness, then, is love. Love concentrates on the well being of the spouse. We take time to listen to the thoughts, feelings, and desires of our spouse. We seek to understand and to respond with empathy. We choose to do things with each other, even things that may not be our favorite activities, simply because we want to be with each other. In the context of such intimacy we become supportive and caring of each other, which builds a stronger, more contented marriage.

People in Our Lives

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Do It Yourself

There are many things now that can be done instantly and how amazing it is that more products are with “do it yourself” guidelines, e.g. hair coloring, hair waxing, assembling computer table, etc.

But what about “do it yourself” in sex? Certainly, there are no guidelines for this. But would the satisfaction you’ve got in “do it yourself” goods be the same when you successfully done it? Who could do it better, Adam or Eve? Would one consider it as an art form to express one’s self in bed alone? Yes or No! It’s only you who could ever know.

Now, the question is… can you DO IT YOURSELF?

Upgrade Yourself!

In these day and age, changes are inevitable. In every facet of life there is change. We can’t ignore the fact that we now live in a fast lane. There are too many developments happening around us. It was difficult to get in touch with our love ones before who was just a province away, now we can do it by the flick of our fingers and can commune to any part of the world. Technology today has helped us to make our lives easier and faster. Everyday it keeps on evolving because of more ideas and inventions.

Yes, it’s true that after awhile computers can be obsolete. Mobile phones keep on evolving to slicker features. Satellites possibly can crowd earth’s outer space. Gadgetries revolutionize to suit our needs. Recreations maybe merely on soft touch core to pamper ourselves. Thus, our lifestyles are affected with these changes. But have you asked yourself: are you apt for these changes?

Or have you tried to make a change about yourself lately? Maybe it is time for a new you! To grow as a better person, we need a change. So, don’t be afraid to try new things and new concepts. It’s not only the technology that can be upgraded, you too can! Upgrade yourself for new and better YOU! Here’s how to get started:

Body Spa
Give yourself a break and take time out to pamper yourself more! Have a relaxing day-off and go to a Spa clinic and/or salon. Have a whole body massage and let your body rest. Have the soothing therapy that you’d long for.

Hairstyle
Have a new hairstyle that you haven’t ever tried before. Consult well your stylist if the hairdo you’d like to try is best fit you. You can have your hair straightened, rebonded, relaxed or even have a new colour.

Nail Art
Since you are on having a body spa and new hairstyle, might as well have nail art. Have your nails cleaned and polished with gorgeous design and color. (For men: you can have your nails cleaned.)

Tip: Look for one stop salon that does it all from head to toe.

Wardrobe
Get out on those conventional boring styles and try new outfits. Be more bold and daring in dressing yourself. You can be sexy without showing much of your skin, just choose an outfit that really compliments your best feature. If you have voluptuous buns, try wearing clothes that can highlight them like tight jeans for instance. Choose styles that will not hamper your comfort in wearing them.

Accessories
Accessorize yourself! Accessories compliment good outfit. It doesn’t necessary mean that you need to spend a fortune for jewelries. There more trendy accessories which are inexpensive. You should just know where to find them. And “accessorizing” is not all about earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces and the likes; it also includes bags and belts.

Shoes
Dressing up is not just about putting clothes together along with accessories. It must come with good pair of footwear. Your footwear must compliment altogether your getup. If you have a stylish getup, your footwear must be stylish too.

Tip: Learn the art of mix and match!

To be upgraded, you must accept the fact that it’s not only the covering that should be refurbished. The unit itself must have one too, so that you achieve the posh transformation. Here’s the top 4 list on how to upgrade yourself more:

Lose Weight
Losing weight is beneficial to have a healthy body and to live longer. Change your eating habit! You don’t need to have a south-beach diet, be a vegetarian, etc. Just strictly follow the food pyramid and drink more water.

Exercise
You can’t easily lose weight when you don’t commit yourself to exercise. Don’t consider household chores as a form of exercise. Have you noticed losing weight doing complicated household chores? Admit it! No matter how often you do chores, you don’t lose weight. A 20 minute workout a day (brisk walking, jogging, etc.) will surely burn and shed some fats from your body. So, commit yourself to exercise everyday!

Sleep
Some consider sleep as hindrance to do more work. But have you observed that the more you deprive yourself from sleep the more you tend to be inefficient? Sleep helps rejuvenate your body and recharges your brain so you can be more efficient and productive. Sleep helps you produce quality work. If you have quality sleep, you can think clearly and be more active.

Brain Sharpening
You need to heighten your brainpower. Read! Read! Read! Learn new things, not just one but variety of things. Acquiring knowledge is never too late. Stuff your brain with more information.

Your brain and body must work together to have a better new you.
