The dangling issue: Men and Football

Personally, i once tried being a fan and kept up the pace but got burnt out. Maybe the team i supported, Arsenal, didn't do me much justice or i never understood it at all.

Dangling indeed. Wish i could start with positives but loosing your boyfriend, hubby or even a girlfriend to a football game can be emotionally draining. It's a hobby, yes, but the energy and commitment unleashed can send any woman feeling alienated, frustrated and angry. Some men even go to an extent of choosing their team over their partners. As if that ain't something, we acquire the title football widows!

The Other Woman; Why Settle for Less?

As a little girl, did you say, "when i grow up, i hope to fall in love with another woman's man and aid in the destruction of their marriage?" I highly doubt those were your romantic aspirations.  -Writeous Warda

People date to find companionship, a mate, or someone to share their life with. But does that include dating a married man? A married man has all of the above because he has a wife, then why would a woman still want to date someone who is legally bound to another person? Why run from a relationship of your own and settle for second best when you can eat from your own plate?

Undercover Operation: Bra -(ABC's and DEF's)

Do your boobs sag low? do they wobble to and fro? Chances are they do -eight out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra! Not only can the right bra eliminate sagging, it can make you appear slimmer and take years off your looks. -Oprah

 In this article I'm compelled to be your "breast" friend, after reading The Bra Book by Jene' Luciani, and to be honest, after digging deep, it was a shocking revelation just how many of us are ignorant. Major bra mistakes, and bra shopping seems difficult than it has to be! Even the chicest of us have little messy secrets behind closed drawers and it's with great pleasure that i am sharing this with you and hopefully by the end of it all, i will have given you a new way to approach bra shopping and flaunt an updated look.

Others Are Already Taken: Be you!

What makes you a valuable person? Most people don't really engage in this inquiry on a regular basis and if you do, you often think that if you just got more done, made more money, accomplished a goal, had a more meaningful work or whatever, then you'd be happier or feel more valuable. That ain't it!

Being oneself takes courage, commitment and faith. It's a process of letting go of many false beliefs you have picked up from the collective consciousness: that you have to look good, be smart, know the right people, say the right things, have proper experience, in order to be happy and successful in life. Being yourself can be scary, difficult and even off-putting and at times lonely. However, being your authentic self is liberating, exciting and fulfilling. When you have the courage to just be who you are without apology or pretense, so much of the suffering, stress and worry in life simply disappears.

Take Control: Reconfigure Your Value System Today!

             It is possible to work and enjoy life at a go.

We all have different priorities and value systems. A well defined value system is a moral code. The way we value different things in our lives. Each thing you like or dislike, and the importance each has to you, merges to form your unique value system.

Our value systems are constantly at work, developing through what we are taught and our experiences, combined with our reactions to them, forming our preferences and our unique perspective on life. To achieve work-life balance, we need to live a life where we work and enjoy life in a way that grows us individually and financially.

There you are, chilling in on a Saturday night. Flipping through the sports channel watching old replays before settling for a collection from your DVD guy.

Desperation ensues and your mind wanders off. The dilemma is that, you start obsessing about your ex (you kept friends) as a booty call.

Ways to feel more attractive

Boost your confidence by being kind and gentle enough, to let your unique inner beauty show..

-Practice being kind. Commit to look at yourself through kind eyes everyday, so you learn how to focus on the positive aspects of your appearance. Size up wisely.

-Learn what works for you. Get to know your body shape first and you will learn what works and what accentuates the parts you don't like. 
   
 -Affirm yourself, don't look to others for affirmation. Who you see in the mirror and what you think is all that count. Other people often have a screen over their eyes -of thoughts, worries, doubts, and distractions- so it's best to let your sense of self come from within instead of waiting for external gratification. Affirmation work even when you don't believe them. They create positive tension.

Up Your Self-Esteem.
