Color Selection For Women....


See how you can be the woman men adore....and never want to leave!!

Color plays an important role in our lives although we sometimes may not even realize it. They influence our ability to attract other people as well as create an impression. This is why you should pick the right colors to wear.
According to physicists colors give out vibes. Psychologists regard color as a form of therapy. Most of us know that certain colors make us feel good about ourselves and certain colors seem to make us feel low. However most of us don't know that color plays a significant role in whom you attract because of the color that you are wearing.
Use this guide to pick the right colors to wear that may have an impact on how you attract people and may just help you to meet your perfect man.
Take a close look at the color of your eyes. Stand outdoors and look at your eyes in a magnifying mirror. Most people's eyes have more than a single color. See whichever color is the main color of your eyes. Wear clothes in exactly the same color. This will bring out your best features. If you talk to someone, the odds are the person will be transfixed by your presence. Wearing clothes of the same color as your eyes can help you feel better on a day when you are not feeling well. Wearing the same color as that of your eyes makes people think they can trust you.
You should check how you look when you wear white clothes. Although white is a fairly common color for blouses and shirts, very few people actually look good wearing it. Those with tanned skin seem to carry off white colored clothes the best. If you wear white you should ensure that your teeth and the whites of your eyes don't look yellow. Hold up a white garment to your face and see how you look when you are smiling. Try out the same exercise with an off white garment. Pale skinned people look more appealing in off-white than in white.
Reds usually highlight the not so great features on your face so it is a good idea to avoid this color. If you want to wear a red garment, try and wear one that has a darker tone than say a scarlet colored garment.
It is therefore not a specific color that you should avoid. What you should pick or not pick are certain shades of colors. A particular shade of green may look good on you while another shade may make you look sallow. You will know which colors suit you if you pay attention to the colors you wear wearing when someone complimented you. Try and have those colors in your wardrobe. Whenever you go out wear the color that you think flatters you the most.Click Here!

A Brief Guide to Women's High Heels


 Get that perfect body shape now!!!!
Walk into a bar or a club wearing a five inch stiletto heel and you are bound to catch anyone's attention especially when you wear them with a short skirt or a pair of body hugging killer pants. So, for the night, you spend some time dancing but you are just mostly sitting there, looking sexy and drinking a cocktail. The truth is you just can not dance in your shoes any longer than necessary. High heels are the ultimate tool for attraction and seduction but they are not really the most comfortable things on earth unlike your fuzzy bunny bedroom slippers.
Walking in high heels is an art and to be able to effectively use high heels as a tool for attraction, you have to be able to master this art. Own this art and you can have anyone at your mercy, ready to do your bidding. So, let us start by talking about how much experience you have in walking in high heeled shoes. If you have absolutely no experience, you should not just go and buy a five inch stiletto because you might just break your ankles. Work your way up gradually by first getting kitten heels because these are just usually about half an inch to an inch high. When you get used to them, start getting shoes with higher heels. It is also a good idea to choose chunkier heels rather than going for a pencil thin stiletto. This is to help you with your balance and then you could taper your heels until you finally get around to walking in a stiletto. Once you master that, you can wear any shoe you like.
So, you are thinking of going to this huge party or a really romantic date with such a gorgeous guy and you want to dress to impress and wear stilettos. When you are out shopping for your shoes, consider the venue of the place. It is really not that practical to wear stilettos when you are going on a romantic date at the garden or when you are going to do a lot of walking. You should also think about how long you are going to being walking in them and how long you can tolerate them. Now when you have finally bought a stiletto, remember that you have to take it on a test drive before the big event. You do not want to be losing your balance or that you would keep reaching down and adjusting the straps every five minutes. You want to be sure that you will look good and feel very comfortable in them. Plus, shoes are not created the same so keeping your balance might be different in this pair. Stand around in your bedroom and walk around your house. You might even consider wearing them when you go out and buy groceries, the cart may help you keep your balance.
When you are already out there in your heels, keep your body as straight as you can. Keep your legs together and concentrate on keeping your balance, you can't just hop around like you do when you are in sneakers. Try to sit as much as possible in order for your feet to rest. When going out at a club or something that will take a long time, keep a pair of flats inside your bag. You never know when you'll use it but you will always be happy that you did. Walking around barefoot on a sidewalk is never fun.Click Here!

2009 Year in Review - All About Modeling


2009 was a fabulous year in the wonderful world of Modeling. Like any other industry it was filled with scandals as well as breakout performances.
Oh Amber
Perhaps the most talked about former Video Vixen turned model and on/off again boyfriend of rapper Kanye West is Amber Rose. This girl was everywhere and quickly has turned into an overnight success. She has capitalized on her 4 minutes of fame and then some. She stood by her man's side when he acted a fool at the music awards when he dissed Taylor Swift and she even managed to get signed with the famous Ford Models modeling agency. Not bad. Miss Rose is getting major media attention wherever she goes as everyone wants to get a peek at what outrageous outfit she will be wearing next. Rumor has it that she gets 10,000 dollars when she makes guest appearances at night clubs. Amber is one to watch as I predict that her success will continue to spill over into 2010. Who knows maybe wedding bells will be in her crystal ball for next year. Her and West make a perfect match with their in your face boldness.
Tyra Banks also caused some controversy. She did a photo shoot on her hit show America 's Next Top Model that featured the contestants portraying different nationalities. I thought it was en vogue and clever but many critics took offense to it. She took off her weave and showed America her real hair as she declared it was National Real Hair Day and even won her 2nd Emmy. I must admit Tyra looks great without all the extra hair and her real hair is in great shape. It's not Oprah's length but it's beautiful. Tyra also amazed her fans as she dropped some weight. She had gained some weight since she left the modeling industry to focus on her talk show but she is back skinner than ever. She can still strut her stuff on the runway and can make a comeback if she wanted to. I doubt if she will because she is so focused on her career and has even talked about settling down and having some kids one day. I predict Tyra will mix things up a little bit on her talk show as Oprah her mentor has announced that 2010 will be her last year. Who knows maybe Tyra will try to fill those big shoes.
Full Figured Women Explosion
Glamour Magazine featured plus size model Lizzie Miller in their book and the magazine received an influx of mail regarding their approval of a real person in their magazine. This was followed the next month by a spread that featured the likeness of Lizzie Miller, Crystal Reen, Amy Lemons, Ashley Graham, Anansa Sims, and Jennie Runk. This was a huge statement in the modeling industry. In addition to this, Crystal Reen released her book Hungry. To see the true beauty of women over the size of 10 check out Runway Revolution.
The Berlin Magazine in Germany banned skinny models. Next year they will only feature real women in their magazines as they don't want young girls to get the wrong message and develop eating disorders. Kudos to them.
Photoshop Madness
America is still obsessed with perfection and this proved true when Ralph Lauren digitally enhanced model Flippa Hamilton beyond a humanly imaginable state. Flippa came forward and told her story to the world and she was soon fired for being overweight. Months later Olay decides to use 60 year old Supermodel legend Twiggy to promote their eye cream. This must be an amazing product because it features her without any lines and looking like a twenty year old. Shame on Olay as they would sell more makeup just using real women. Hats off to an organization called About Face whose mission is to help young ladies understand the images portrayed in the media.
Would you believe that supermodel Giselle Bundchen's baby bump was erased for her London Fog ads out of respect for her privacy. Very bizarre but with the magical world of technology anything is possible.
Next Supermodel
Ladies and Gents keep your eyes on Chanel Iman as this young lady is the model to watch. With a name like that one would expect great things from her. She always wanted to be a model and when she was younger, each year she would dress up for Halloween as a model. She's been endorsed by Tyra Banks and this year she even signed with Victoria Secret's.
Model Mates
Models seem to always end up on the arms of athletes, musicians, and just plain old celebrities. Heidi Klum was busy this year giving birth to baby number 4 and she showed up on the runway after only 5 weeks of giving birth looking fabulous. She even legally changed her last name to Samuel to match that of her husband singer Seal.
Giselle Bundshen and NFL player Tom Brady welcomed a little boy. Former America's Next Top Model winner Eva Pigford got engaged to actor Lance Gross. Last but not least, the story of the year is Tiger Woods having multiple affairs on his wife former model Elin Nordegren. This will filter over into 2010 as several women have come out speaking about their affairs with the world's greatest golfer.

How to Wash Cashmere

Cashmere is a really fragile fabric, and should be dry cleaned or hand washed at a laundry store. Washing it actually makes it softer and makes the warmth greater. If you do not want to take the cashmere to a cleaner, washing it by yourself is possible if you know how to do it. Cashmere is quite delicate and not much force should be used because damage may be caused to the fibres. Sunlight can also cause it to go out of shape.
The label on your cashmere should be checked ahead of washing it, so to make sure it can really be hand washed. A knitted clothing can usually be washed although woven ones cannot and need to be dry cleaned. The label should still be checked because the specification might be different for your clothing. The detergent used should also be made especially for cashmere or for a delicate fabric as it may damage the fabric.
Method: 1. In a sink, the detergent is added to lukewarm water and mixed.
2. The clothing is submerged into the solution and squished by hands to soak the detergent into the fabric. The clothing is left in the mild detergent for about 15 min. and is massaged softly but only if needed.
3. The sink is drained and is filled with fresh lukewarm water. It is massaged gently again to rid the cashmere of any excess detergent in the fabric. This process is repeated as many times as necessary.
4. Lift the garment out of the sink and rid it of water by squeezing it gently and place the cashmere on a dry towel. Roll the clothing up as well as the towel and push on to it to squeeze out more water.
5. The cashmere is rolled our and is placed on a dry towel and air dried. Putting the towel and the clothing on a drying rack will fasten the drying-up process. Make sure that the cashmere is not in direct sunlight!

Now you are able to wash your cashmere clothing on your own. The process is quite simple if you think about it, and don't differ much from hand washing other fabrics. However, if the cashmere is tidied up while still wet, it will smell very unpleasant when you wear it next time. Cashmere clothing are cheaper to care for now because you can wash them yourself.Click Here!

Mid-Life Crisis - What's a Woman to Do

The mid-life crisis: it's that moment that everyone hopes to never have happen. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it and women are no exception to this rule; they have their own ways of dealing with the mid-life crisis. Some women buy a new car, some desperately try to make themselves look and act younger than they really are. While I personally do not approve, their are even some women who will have an affair behind their spouses (keep in mind this only applies if they are married) and destroy what they worked so hard for as a result. It all goes back to one fact about most women; no woman wants to ever accept that they are getting old and so the mid-life crisis and time of suffering begins. It is a good thing that this is usually just a temporary phase for most people.
Not many women like cars, but for the few that do, they especially enjoy them in their mid-life crisis. One of my friends who recently went through her crisis bought a van, and painted it green and blue, making it look like a real life Scooby Doo mystery van. It made her feel rejuvenated and youthful. Again this goes back to her wanting to be young: during the crisis, she wants to try and return to her youth which made her so jovial and happy. Fortunately, roughly six months later she regained her self control and embraced her age. Her mid-life crisis ended on a happy note; she learned from her experience and saw that her life was not so bad now even if she is no longer a young 25 year old girl.
Most mid-life crisis are not like this for women. Sometimes trying to be young is much harder and has much more dire consequences for women. To make themselves look younger, these older women begin taking the extreme measures: breast implants, face lifts and more. This is much worse than just dressing, "too young." At least when you dress young you can change the clothes and finish it: with surgery, once it is done, it can not be undone and you may may very well hurt your body. Having an affair is just as bad: if you have one, you will destroy a marriage and possibly shatter the lives of your children and sadly in the long run your own life too. You will be labeled a cheating whore for the rest of your life and no woman ever wishes to have that happen. The mid-life crisis will become your ultimate down fall; people need to try and think clearly before acting, other wise it may just destroy them.
The mid-life crisis always end in one of two ways:enlightening or a disaster. For most women, their mid0life crisis story ends happily, and for the rest: I give my condolences hoping someday you can find happiness. I only can imagine how hard it would be if I were a man and went through such an ordeal.

What to Do If You Feel Angry About Your Abortion



.All you need to know about pregnancy...A common response for women who have chosen abortion is that they are "so angry." This emotion of anger seems to blind-side a person who has voluntarily terminated a pregnancy. What are the components of anger after abortion?

1) Anger is a Natural Part of Grieving Loss. In an effort to get out of crisis mode,most women don't take time to realize that every abortion choice involves loss. A natural reaction to loss is anger. Many women believe the abortion will solve the problem of the moment, yet are surprised to find they are in the middle of an intense grieving process after the fact.

While the choice does bring feelings of relief to be out of the situation, when the dust clears and the crisis is over...oops! A clearly identifiable feeling of loss of the pregnancy comes bubbling to the surface.

2) Are there people involved in the decision making process that I'm angry at? Maybe there was pressure from important people involved. Do I feel like I listened to them instead of my own heart? Maybe I listened to my own heart, instead of them? Either way, there can be anger directed at others or at self.

3) Am I angry at my circumstances? All the "what-if's" of a different time, a different place can cause a lot of anger. Maybe there were financial or medical uncertainties that played into the decision. Analyzing the situational components of a "vpt" can cause a lot of anger.

Anger is a natural response to hurt and or unmet needs or expectations. This is where the actual emotional aspects of anger as related to a voluntary pregnancy termination come into play. Perhaps, there wasn't an expectation of pregnancy or even an expectation that voluntary termination would be the best answer. All in all, it hurts to realize there was a pregnancy and now it is gone. There could be feelings of betrayal or lack of support from a boyfriend. Or even more common, feelings that by choosing you have betrayed a husband, a boyfriend, a parent, yourself and ultimately a child.

What do you do with all the emotions of anger in a "vpt" situation?

1) Don't stuff the emotion. Stuffed emotions don't die. They just get stuffed into other parts of your body. Eventually there can be physical ramifications of not allowing emotions. Clamming up only pushes the emotion down causing further harm like resentment, bitterness and even depression. Let yourself cry. You can write or journal your anger. Write letters expressing your true thoughts to important people involved, including yourself.

2) Don't stay a victim by blaming others. Throwing your anger out onto others by blaming them, being sarcastic, or even blowing up on them is a non-productive way to express your anger about your vpt. This only keeps you unhappy and hurts others.

3) Take responsibility for your actions. Ultimately, you can release a lot of the anger by working through the anger and recognizing that this decision was an important one in your life. Much of the anger and the emotions you feel are all part of the grieving process.
Resolving and processing a voluntary pregnancy termination can take time and should be done in a safe environment. There are helpful resources available. There are safe people to talk to who will be supportive and non-judgmental. You can go on the internet and on amazon.com and find resources by typing in "help after abortion." Just know you are not alone. There are always answers. Going through the pain of the grieving process will help release you from the anger you feel.

Hollywood Discovers Forty-Something Women....




According to Samantha Critchell of the Associated Press, 2010 is a "new day" for forty-something women. "Women are where it's at in the world of entertainment - and we're talking "women" not "girls" for the most part. Forty-something women, especially Sandra Bullock, had a banner year in 2009, and their influence is expected to continue," writes Critchell.


She quotes Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief of HollywoodLife.com who believes: "There's a shift in attitude. There's a total chick blitz in general." Fuller thinks Hollywood executives will take notice of the success of actresses such as Julianna Margulies, Jennifer Aniston, Kyra Sedgwick, Courteney Cox and their peers, developing movies and TV shows that give them roles that show evolving, desirable sexy characters who don't hide from their age.

To which I say, almost in tandem: "Hell, yeah!" and "Are you kidding me?" I'm having one of those two-sided conversations with myself about what this endorsement really means. On the one hand, I applaud the greatly overdue recognition by Hollywood and the youth-obsessed media that there really is life out there for women over the age of forty. Not a life of slow and inevitable degeneration like the winding down of a clock, but a life brimming with possibilities. I applaud the acknowledgment, however late in coming, that beauty is not the province of the chronologically gifted (i.e. young), but is something that belongs to all women regardless of their age.

On the other hand I want to do something far less gracious with my hands than applauding (picture something other than the thumbs up sign, and the gesture that used to get my youngest child routinely grounded, if you get my drift). Hollywood giving those of us on the other side of forty the high-five feels rather like we're being thrown a bone and should feel grateful, like we're a fad, or the flavor of the month rather than the complex, multi-faceted, amazing creatures we are - and always have been.

Having Hollywood and the media's "blessing" isn't sitting well with me. I want to say: "Who cares?" what men in suits in a town known for unabashed superficiality think about what constitutes bling. And while I am a firm believer that life after forty for women doesn't mean life without sex - or sex appeal - I chafe at the thought of stereotyping midlife women as "desirable sexy characters who don't hide from their age." I'd be happier if the mindset was simply "who don't hide from their age" and leave sex out of it altogether. Whenever Hollywood brings sex into the equation it's an immediate red flag for me; a cynical, but time-tested truism that the multi-dimensional forty-something woman will suddenly become rather one-dimensional in the hands of film and media.

I do, however, heartily applaud Meryl Streep, Julianna Marguiles and other over forty actresses who are refusing to play by the rules. After all, who made the rules anyway? I applaud the women I've interviewed for my upcoming book on women navigating in and through midlife. I applaud my friends, peers, and family members of the female persuasion who are aging gracefully and fiercely. They aren't hiding their age. They aren't flashing a neon sign showcasing their age. Their age is irrelevant. They are too busy charting their path - and it's often an entirely new path that they themselves have bushwhacked because of so few role models around to have broken trail for them.

Although I commend these mavericks for their trailblazing ways, it's a myth and a disservice to paint forty-something women as having all the answers. I hope Hollywood errs on the side of caution in its evolving characterizations of women in midlife. Life is messy. Life is complicated. Midlife women continue to struggle with career, family, health and wealth issues. They are dealing with grown children leaving the nest; with young children still in the fold. They are reaching the pinnacle of their careers or their plateaus, and are thinking about what comes next. Some women are dealing with health issues: cancer, heart disease, menopause, unexpected death. Some are uncovering long dormant dreams and talents, others shedding self-limiting beliefs that have dogged them for decades. Divorced. Remarried. Unattached. Forty-something women are no strangers to the ups and downs of living.

Life doesn't change on the other side of forty. What does change, perhaps, is the way we deal with this ebb and flow in the second half of life. There is something to be said for longevity; for experience; for showing up over and over again that enables us to shake off the trials and tribulations that rain down on us each day. Midlife women don't have all the answers - what we have is enough seniority to know we don't need them in order to shine.
So I raise a toast to my sisters forty and older that you celebrate the year of the "chick blitz", but do it on your terms. Keep on bushwhacking; keep on redefining and pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a woman in midlife, and I'll be right there with you. Salute!

Tubal Reversal Surgery and Determination...



When a woman chooses to have tubal reversal surgery many do not realize the determination that is involved. For many of us the financial aspect is one of the beginning motivators. Having the extra money hanging around is not something that we all have. Many women have to come up with ways to save money to have the tubal reversal surgery and there have been some excellent ideas from women that many of us would never think of such as making our own detergents and giving up things such as cable that we really do not need.

Another source that takes determination is getting our weight down to be able to have the tubal ligation reversal surgery. With the holidays it isn't easy for anyone to keep the weight under control much less lose those extra pounds we tend to do battle with. These women have the determination to stick with it because the reversal surgery is something they truly want.

The next factor is getting all the necessary paperwork, tests and arrangements made to be able to have the actual surgery performed. Though this may sound relatively simple there are a majority of women that have had problems locating their tubal ligation operative reports. This can be stressful if you do not actually know what type of tubal ligation was performed.

Then there is always the fear of the surgeon not being able to repair the tubes. In most cases the very good surgeons can repair the tubes in 98% of the cases. The surgeon who has this repair rate is Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. This center is leading center for reversal surgery and the repair of blocked fallopian tubes.

The decision to have tubal surgery is not always as easy at it sounds. There needs to be determination and self discipline involved and at times you may second guess yourself. When you are second guessing try to surround yourself with people who support you. On the leading tubal ligation reversal site there is a message board that the women flock to for support. Not only do the women understand what you are going through they have either been where you are or are in the same place at the moment.
For those women that have been through tubal reversal and now have their tubal reversal babies they will tell you not to give up. It is all worth it in the end. There is a saying that what is worth working for is well worth it in the end and tubal reversal surgery and the determination to get there will be well worth it. It is not abnormal to get discouraged and to let the fear get the best if us at times but the determination that tubal reversal women have is not to be matched by many.

New York Will Give You $10,000 Just For Donating Eggs


New York state plans to offer $10,000 to women for donating their eggs. California is expected to follow suit with its own pay-for-egg donation program. The donated eggs will be fertilized to create embryonic stem cells that they will use for research.
This announcement follows a recent lifting of the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research by President Obama in March. The ban was in effect for the entirety of the Bush Administration. The Bush Administration believed that conducting research on live embryos were unethical and the best he could do as President was to impose that ban.
What the Critics are Saying
Critics are of course saying that women's bodies are being used as commodities and money making machines in donating eggs. Well, I guess that happens all the time in things like modeling, pornography, prostitution and now, donating eggs.
But in addition, the women most likely to take part in donating eggs are poor women. Poor women, although they may have issues of conscience may feel pressured in donating eggs to feed themselves and their children. It's a sad state, but donating eggs might become the next welfare for the poor. I can even see men pressuring their wives in donating eggs to help pay the bills.
But women donating eggs for money is not a new thing. It happens all the time in private egg donation banks all around the country. Just like you hear about sperm banks, there are also egg donation banks as well. Egg donation can be a God-send to women who can't produce their own eggs and a woman willing to donate her eggs can be a real blessing for another woman. But for those doing it just for making money, they might as well start a home based business instead.
However, egg donations aren't as easy or as pleasant as sperm donations. Women must take 12-14 days of injections to stimulate eggs for donation. Then the woman donating the eggs have to go through a 40-45 minute surgery to get the eggs out. Donating eggs is not so simple. It's no wonder that most health facilities are short on women's eggs. It's because donating eggs is so darn difficult.
Embryonic stem cells are fertilized human eggs, which means they have technically been conceived. It's done invitro (in a test tube). Because the human element of having sex is taken out, it seems more like a science experiment than life, but pro-life critics of embyonic stem cell research essentially say that you have to kill a live embryo, which is the first (okay technically the second stage) of a developing baby, to create embryonic stem cells.
Then they use the embryonic stem cells to conduct experiments. Pro-life critics of this say they are essentially using little babies as guinea pigs. If you believe life begins at conception, they are basically right. Embryonic stem cells come from conceived embryos, albeit from a test tube, which makes it seem less human, but technically it's not.



Women and humor - how to use your humor nature in wise men's world..


 
 One of the best books I've read on how women can incorporate humor into their lives and work is Mackoff's book, "What Mona Lisa Knew: A woman's guide to getting ahead in business by lightening up." Mackoff maintains that women are hesitant to use their sense of humor in the world of work. After all, we women have spent centuries earning the right seriously! We need to strive for perfection, be aggressive, defend ourselves, and act like a man! Or do we?...
This kind of thinking puts others on the defensive. The more we try to portray a perfect image, the more that people will be waiting and watching for us to slip up. You can't relax, they can't relax. You won't risk trying new ideas, because your image is at stake.
Your sense of humor conveys your authority. The very fact that you don't allow yourself to get ruffled by others' remarks shows your self-composure. By keeping your sense of humor, you maintain control of the situation.
Women's sense of humor differs from men's style of humor. Women have a sense of humor that reflects shared experiences, is situational, respects personal taboos, and is empathic. Men's sense of humor is more rational, literal, and aggressive.
Women can use their unique style of humor to highlight the absurdity of a situation and playfully redefine the situation in a non-aggressive manner. This process helps to dissolve discord by avoiding humiliating yourself or others. In this way, you can subdue your attackers by getting into harmony with them. First, Mackoff suggests, we should mirror the other person's comment, and then build on it with exaggeration. You are not agreeing with the comment, only reflecting its absurdity.
Women play a key role in being a model for other women (and men) in transforming the workplace. By utilizing our natural, non-offensive style of humor, we not only protect our image, we create a more calm and productive work environment.

Be a Better Woman As of January 1st 2010...


Go to the gym.
Get organized.                          Be the woman you WANT this year...
Call mom more often.
Yawn...
Ever notice that you're making the same tired old resolutions every January? Maybe that's why they're usually old news before Valentine's Day rolls around. This year, why not skip the "lose the last five pounds" drama and resolve to make some changes that will genuinely make you a better person-and a happier woman-all year long? Who knows, you might just like the results so much that you stick with them for the next 11 months. Why not resolve to...
Stay Aware, Stay Safe
Crimes against women (including domestic violence, rape, and assault) are rising at an alarming rate. Not being a victim means becoming aware of your surroundings, making smart choices, and being actively involved in community and legal efforts. So make it a point to vote when it's something that matters to you. And the next time you and your chicas are planning a girl's night out, why not swap the martini lounge for a self defense class? It's a resolution that could end up saving your lives one day.
Stop Blaming Everything on the Guys
Every time a woman says that her man is "keeping her down" it sets back the rest of us at least fifty years. Taking responsibility for your actions is the first step to a healthier, more productive life-so stop laying the blame on anyone else, and accept that your life is what you make it. If it isn't working out quite the way you want it to, then now is the perfect time to make a change. (Even if that means dumping the dude that isn't in synch with your new way of thinking)
Make Yourself a Priority
It's so easy to lose track of your own wants and needs among those of every one else's. But if you don't carve out some time every day to make time for number one, no one else will. So resolve to do something nice for yourself every single day, whether it's a yoga class, a bubble bath, or something as simple as a glass of wine and your favorite television show on the DVR after the kids have gone to bed. It will be easier to be a better mom, friend, coworker, or superhero if you feel like your own needs are being met as well.
Be Supportive of Other Women
So often, women are each other's own worst enemies. Set aside the pettiness whenever possible- we're on the same team, after all. It doesn't mean that you have to agree with what everyone says, but there's no need to be purposefully hurtful either. Afford other women the same courtesy you would like to receive yourself-even in the face of disagreement or differing opinions.

Shopping For Plus Size Clothes in a Medium Size World...

No matter if they are referred to as outsize, plus size, king size, over size, or large size, buying plus size clothes for those who are larger than average in stature is far easier now that it was just a few decades back. The clothing industry finally realised there was a large market (no pun intended) for plus size clothes.
Styles which once consisted basically of baggy pants and oversized sweaters or 'muumuus' went out and fashion came onto the scene, at last. Some rather serious measuring programs have been conducted in recent years that were aimed at finding more exacting measurements for oversized people, both men and women. From these results have come many changes in the fit and form of clothing. Larger people, who used to stand out due to their attire, can now instead look outstanding and stylish whether at the office or out for an evening on the town.
Plus size clothes generally refers to sizes fourteen and up in women's apparel and sizes that are over XL in men's clothing. Men's oversized clothing is generally called big and tall ever since the nineteen nineties and women's wear is usually labelled plus-size. The sizing has become more standardised yet it still varies from country to country.
There are over sixty brands to choose from in plus sized women's clothes in the U.K. but most of them are manufactured elsewhere. A U.K. size sixteen is the equivalent to a size twelve in the U.S. The European sizing is different as well, with the European size of forty six being similar to a thirty six for a men's suit in the U.S. as well as the U.K.
When it comes to fashion shows, many larger size women tend to be depressed because they cannot find much to select from that will fit them. The best advice may be to simply stay away from fashion shows altogether, and instead shop online at some of the excellent shops that cater to women who are a little stouter or taller and the average. Men have similar difficulties when shopping for off the rack items, it's just hard to find something that fits correctly.
Shoes are another item of apparel that may be difficult to find a fit for. Men especially, who have very large feet, can find it challenging to find a good fitting, comfortable shoe or boot. Sizes over a twelve are generally difficult to come by unless they are shopped for at a king size for men store either locally or on the internet. Once found, a good fitting shoe source needs to be held in high regard and the name and address not forgotten.
Materials and colour choices have vastly improved over the past few decades in plus size clothes. Now you'll see a lot of double knit and jersey knit around in a wide variety of colours and patterns. Horizontal stripes in larger size attire are definitely out, as are gaudy flowered dresses or shirts. Subtle colours and form-fitting 'slinky' dresses make a fashion statement that shows off a woman's assets, while camouflaging her less desirable frailties. Overall, fashion has finally found it niche when it comes to those who are comfortable with their size.

What You Can Expect From Natural Remedies For the Removal of Ovarian Cysts

If you have heard that there are good, and successful natural remedies for the removal of ovarian cysts, you have heard correctly.
Not only is it true, it is the wisest and safest choice.
As soon as you are diagnosed your doctor will probably prescribe some drugs and pain killers to help your symptoms. Since they won't work long term, and will probably actually make things worse, this course of action, frequently, will eventually lead to surgery.
A probable cause, or at least a contributing factor in the formation of ovarian cysts is messed up hormones. So why would you take a prescription drug such as birth control pills? To get messed up more? Doesn't make sense to me.
Does anyone really want surgery if it can be avoided? Why risk possible infections, and scars when you know that surgery for ovarian cysts doesn't eliminate the probability of future outbreaks?
Being the smart gal you are, you want to know what to expect from natural remedies for the removal of painful cysts. When you start on a natural relief system you will be helping your body be free of the root cause cysts forever!
Expect the following:
> Rapidly shrink the cysts without drugs or surgery
> Instant relief from pain
> No need for risky surgery
> No more unwanted hair
> Regain consistent menstrual cycles
> Eliminate bloating and pressure
> Have much less PMS
> Easily handle mood swings
> No more, or much less, tender breasts
> No more painful sex
> No drug side effects
> No more cysts - ever
> And much more
It may take about two months to be totally cyst free. But, most women feel much better in just a few days.

Men Naughty at Forty?

Do you also feel men turn naughty at forty? Seems rhyming too - but if given a thought - all concealed reasons for this sudden, radical change gets enlightened. Some display their naughtiness openly while some keep it as a hidden feature of their nature. Men tend to be more inclined towards other females, stare them, tease them, please them, Impress them and the list continues...
Suddenly men spend more time admiring oneself in front of the mirror, buying more and more clothes and grooming, never missing the facials, caring for the skin, hair and...Want many, best branded perfumes, deodorants, after shaves lotion and how can they forget the axe effect! Any casual compliment about them makes their eyes sparkle like diamond- what a noticeable change! This is same for both the genders and natural also, but...Beware! Women get suspicious seeing all this!!
Men at this age are more or less stable in their profession. The brain which used to be always busy with the burden of sustaining the family and planning a secure future is comparatively free now- and allows space for other thoughts. Now, men think about the things that the time or situation did not permit them to do earlier and find ways to accomplish them. Being naughty is a part of it.
When the boy was in the education phase of life, there was continuous pressure from the family and self for building a ransom paying career and in doing so, they might have kept away from the distracting elements- girls. Now they regret for the lost time and trying to compensate, develop more affinity towards the opposite sex. Maybe he did not have enough money support for sustaining a she friend and so had maintained a distance from them.
As a matter of fact, earlier the preferences and taste were different which gradually changes with time, situation and maturity. In this process of adapting to the new circumstances and modifying oneself in accordance to the required demands, sometimes a new person evolves with altogether different liking. The perception changes gradually and so changes the preferences and the person.
At this stage, if he comes across some female who matches with the Madam perfect of thought, he develops an affinity towards her and develops a want to fill all the past gaps of the life. Men might have gained confidence with time and experience, and with that acquired feature can deal with the naughtiness now!!
How can one forget the best feature of men-dealing with the guilt? They can easily justify for all the wrong things and have guts to repeat the so called mistakes again and again. Now no guilt! No justification! No clarification! Just live life King-size!
So! Men are always naughty; the naughty gene is inscribed in the Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) from the birth itself. It is not an acquired character but an inherited one. It is just a display of a concealed character! Naughty at one, Naughty at two, Naughty at Sixteen, Naughty at forty, Naughty Always!

Many Common Signs Depict Yeast Infection Symptoms in Women

It is important to get rid of yeast infections, as they usually affect adult females. Yeast is a fungus, and hence grows well in dark and moist areas like the female reproductive organ. Women already have yeast in their reproductive organ's area in normal circumstances. Nearly 75% of women get a yeast infection at least once in their life time.
Yeast infections happen once the yeast starts to multiply without any control. Usually this happens when a women's normal immune system is weakened. The antibiotics being used to battle any disease or treat any illness may be the reason for this.
There are a number of common yeast infection symptoms in women. But various medical conditions may have symptoms which will be quite similar to each other. These may include some more serious sexually transmitted diseases. It is best to consult a doctor in case you think that you have an infection. Any serious disease will be ruled out this way. The most common symptoms in women are:
• Itching in the female reproductive organ's region
• Any occurrence of soreness
• Burning sensation while passing urine
• White and thick female reproductive organ's discharge
• Female reproductive organ's odour
• Feeling of pain in the female reproductive organ's area
• A feeling of pain in the abdomen region
Many times in a year these symptoms may be experienced by certain women. This is because these women are more susceptible to female reproductive organ's yeast infections. There is nearly 5% of such women who tend to get yeast infections 4 to 5 times each year.
Another point to be noted here is that some women may experience only slight symptoms while some may experience no symptoms at all. But still, it may be possible to pass on this infection to the male partner. The symptoms in males are slightly different. The following may be some of these symptoms:
• Chapped and dry skin in the genital area
• Constipation and gas
• Appearance of rashes
• Head of the male reproductive organ getting sore
• Thick and white discharge
• Blisters
These symptoms and other conditions involving the genitals have similar symptoms. It is crucial to know what to do about these yeast infection symptoms. Quickly treat these symptoms in the right way.
Care needs to be taken to prevent female reproductive organ's infection. Important thing here is hygiene. You need to keep the female reproductive organ's area clean and dry. Always wear cotton undergarments. Innerwear which is synthetic should not be worn. Immediately change your swimsuit when it gets wet. Avoid feminine sprays, scented toilet paper and deodorant tampons.
A pelvic examination may be done to confirm the yeast infection symptoms in women. This will show any inflammation of the vulva.
The risk of yeast affection may be alleviated due to many reasons. The reason may be stress or lack of sleep. Another reason may be due to illness or during pregnancy. Yeast infection is also promoted by poor eating habits like eating lots of sugary food. It will be more common in women taking in steroids or birth control pills.

Our Enemy - Self Defeat ....

Every year before my birthday I get hopeful as to what will transpire. Will I get a great, unexpected gift? Will there be a huge surprise awaiting me? I have hidden hopes of great anticipation hoping that others will go out of their way to make me feel special and celebrate me. Normally, my hopes are dashed. My birthday is usually just a normal day. Oh, my family gives me gifts and tries to make me feel loved - but my thoughts of big celebrations and grandeur are just that - thoughts.
On my 36th birthday, my day started off a bit rough. Construction next door woke me up early, I had no birthday greetings when I checked email (except from my husband) and I was just feeling "blue." I started talking to the Lord about it, not wanting my birthday to be destroyed by my attitude as some previous ones had.
God convicted my heart about my need to be noticed, appreciated, and recognized. He showed me that I was relying on others to make me feel good. So I made a decision to get on my knees on the floor, and go face down before the Lord. I shed my brave face and teared up as I told Him my desires and my struggles. God gave me the best gift I could have received. He armed me with the gift of feeling victories over my self defeat.
God showed me that if I wanted to be celebrated so badly, why not celebrate myself? So I made the choice to celebrate me! I realized that this was MY time in life and that Satan was only using issues like this to defeat me.
God helped me see that it was not His will for my life to feel self defeated. Especially on a day like a birthday! And Satan can only make us feel unlovable, uncelebrated, etc if we allow him to. God showed me that I had that power over him.
Self Defeat is one of our biggest enemies. It hinders us from becoming all that we truly can be. It's a great time-tested tactic that Satan loves to use on us and with us. Don't let him. Go to the Lord on your face and share all your vulnerabilities with Him. Let Him speak to your heart and see through the lies - seeing how truly celebrated your existence truly is. Then, go out and celebrate your life. Trust me, it will feel really good. And you won't even be celebrating alone.... Jesus will be there celebrating right beside you.

A Letter to My Lost Love.

As a way to reach closure about my voluntary pregnancy termination, it was suggested to me to write my lost child a letter. At first, the notion seemed quite strange and I wasn't sure where to go with this information in my head. As I thought about it though, I began to see the exercise as a way to bring my child into my world in a whole new way. Up till now the child I chose to abort was just some sort of "floating thing" out there in the universe. Personalizing my loss by writing to my baby really helped me bring forth some of the grief and loss I was feeling.
If you are seeking help after your abortion, I would suggest that this is something you can think about as a way to connect in a whole new way with what your heart feels. Again, this might sound like a strange concept, so give yourself some time to "chew on it" before delving in.
It is helpful when you attempt an exercise like writing to the baby you lost via a choice decision, that you do so when you are feeling very safe. You need a safe atmosphere where you can be reflective and without interuptions. You might light a candle or play soft music. Either of these things will help you feel safe while you access the painful feelings of loss.
When writing, you should also try to picture writing to someone you know. For instance, if you were writing a real note to a friend or loved one, you subconsciously picture that person in your mind. So, you might picture a little baby in your mind and then start talking to that baby or child just like you would if they were really sitting there in the room with you.
Some intense emotions might start welling up inside you while you write. This is actually good! Don't try to stop the sadness or overwhelming sense of loss. This purpose of this writing exercise is to help you process some of the grief you are feeling. Give yourself permission to feel sad. Going through the pain of this is what you need to reach closure about your decision.
Below I am sharing with you the letter I wrote to my child lost to a voluntary pregnancy termination. Perhaps, this will give you some idea of things you should express in your journey to closure.
Again, writing a letter to your "lost love" can seem strange, but once you push through the fear you will be glad you went through the pain of the exercise. Avoiding the pain only prolongs it. Have courage. You can "do this!"
Dear Sandra rachels,
This letter is to let you know how much I love you. Though I never met you, I know I love you. I am feeling so many feelings about your loss. I was so young and scared and I didn't think the "time was right" for you. I was at a place in my life where I thought no one cared. I took what I thought would be the best path for everyone involved. Just know that you are missed; there will always be a hole in my heart for you. Your life was a pebble that dropped in the water. The ripples go forth and rock my heart with sadness. Each wave passes through and I know you were an important person in our family and you will always be missed.
I think of what your life could have been and I am so sad. I see you as an energetic toddler with curly blonde hair. I see you going to school that first day. I see you playing soccer, having fun with friends, going on that first date, the prom, and even as a young adult finishing college. You wear your bride's dress elegantly.
I am writing this letter to acknowledge you and then to tell you good-bye. I realize I needed to tell you hello first though. Just know that I am finally letting myself cry. It is so hard to go to this deep place of pain in my heart, but I know going through the pain is what I need to do.
For now, I say "hello" to you. And after I cry, I will once again say "good-bye." I hope you know I loved you and that you were missed.
Love from your Mom,
Michell jerkins

My Mother Made Me Fat ....

I can calculate Weight Watcher's Points in my head, quickly list recipe substitutions to "healthy-up" a meal, and I have so many diet plans in my head I could open up my own diet center. Yet, when I cook, I turn up my nose at healthy options. Why have vegetables with fresh herbs when you can drown them in a heavy cream sauce and butter?
When I was growing up, my mom cooked low-fat meals for the family. Those meals were the reason I was skinny until I went to college. My healthy weight had nothing to do with the nutritional content of the meals. Without fail, her creations tasted like wood paneling in a rubber cement sauce, over fluffed sawdust. Wait, no, rubber cement has flavor. My mother watched everything that went in my mouth. Candy, cookies, and cake were strictly forbidden. Butter was a dirty word. I was once grounded for two weeks after my mother discovered that I had eaten cookies at the home of a friend.
When I was seven my mom went to a version of the Tupperware party, where housewives got together and bought naughty gag gifts and marital aids. My mom purchased a bag of genital shaped chocolate suckers for a friend that was getting married. Unfortunately, she didn't hide them well enough, since I made regular forays into her underwear drawer. One day when I was too "sick" to go to school, I discovered this treasure. I never noticed their odd shape as I inhaled them, and I never questioned why the chocolate was pink.
The year I turned 9 I went to stay at my grandparent's home, without my mother. My grandmother lovingly fed me what I wanted, and whenever I wanted it. I returned home five pounds heavier (my mother weighed me as soon as I walked in the door). To teach me a lesson, she forced me to carry around a five-pound bag for rocks for a week.
At age 10 my family went out for a rare restaurant dinner. As I nibbled at my dry chicken breast with a side of broccoli, I gazed lovingly at the butter that came with the bread basket. Oh the siren song of those cute little foil-wrapped butter squares. Of course the bread basket and butter were totally off limits.
When my mother went to the restroom, I palmed 3 packets of butter and stuffed them in my pocket. I was flush with my daring, and the fear that I would be discovered. On the ride home I checked my pocket repeatedly, amazed at my good fortune. When we got home I scuttled upstairs for my rendezvous. I slowly peeled of the foil, breathed in the scent, and stopped just short of rubbing my face in the butter. I was picking foil out of my braces for days.
When I was 14, my drama class sold candy as a fundraiser. I had an entire box of candy in my possession, and I even got to take it home. On the first day of the fundraiser I stuffed the box of candy in my backpack and smuggled it up to my room. I locked the door, so I could romance the candy undetected. The sizes, the shapes, and the smell of chocolate emanating from the wrapper, sent me into a frenzy that can only be described as deeply disturbing. The next day I went to school with what was left of the candy in my backpack. All day I dreamed of when I could again be alone with my windfall.
It goes without saying that the candy was gone in two days. Imagine my dilemma when I had to turn in the money to pay for that lovely box of candy. I don't remember how I got myself out of that little pickle, but the shame lives on. When I went to college I went crazy, and I doubled the "Freshman 15" expected of new college students. Plus I discovered beer, and I was off and running.
Not surprisingly my food obsession has carried into my adult life. I stash candy everywhere. I used to hide chocolate in my underwear drawer, but learned my lesson after too may episodes of ants in my unmentionables. At work I filled my desk drawers with a variety of food. I rarely ate it, but I just needed to know it was there. To this day, when I visit my mother, I can't do so without a suitcase of chocolate as a security blanket. At almost 40 years old, I still lie in my bed late at night, quietly unwrapping candy bars, so that nobody can hear.
Eating healthy still feels like a punishment, so I eat what I want, whenever I want it. It is easy to blame my mother for my eating habits, but I am finally learning that until I take some responsibility for my diet, I will repeat the same cycle, over and over again. In order to successfully fight my weight battle, I have to fully understand my relationship to food. Until then, I will continue to fail on every diet. And by the way? My mother has put on a good 50 pounds. If you'll excuse me, I have some rocks to gather.

Probiotics Can Help to Fight Your Yeast Infection

Our bodies are an amazing thing and whenever they are working well, there are very few things that typically go wrong with them. A good example of this is whenever a baby is born and their body is in perfect balance. The last thing the newborn child has is an infection, unless something has gone wrong prior to their birth. As adults, we also have a delicate balance in our body and whenever things get out of balance, we tend to have problems that are difficult to overcome. One of the main problems that people have to deal with regularly, especially women, are yeast infections.
There are a number of different types of yeast infections that woman can get. Whenever most people think about yeast, they think about vaginal yeast infections but it can happen on almost any part of the body where there is a place for it to get a foothold. Even on the open skin, in places such as folds in the skin or perhaps under the breasts are ideal places for an infection to occur. Did you realize, however, that the infection may not be a simple matter of too much yeast being on the body, although that is the result. It might actually have to do with an imbalance that resides within your body.
The reason why I say this is because yeast is present in every individual but it is kept in check by certain anti-bodies that exist in us naturally. Whenever the natural bacteria in our body gets out of balance, however, the yeast is allowed to grow and it can easily become an infection. One of the best ways for you to make sure that the good bacteria is allowed to grow and thrive is by taking a probiotic every day.
A probiotic will give your intestines everything that it needs in order for it to digest your food properly and to give you an overall good sense of health. Since most diseases begin in the colon, it would really be no surprise that an imbalance in this area of your body could cause a yeast infection in another area of your body. Make sure that you take your probiotic every day and you will recognize good things happening to your health as a result. Not only will your yeast infections be few and far between, you will feel good overall.

Mid-Life Crisis - Tracey's Funny Story!

Perhaps because I am becoming an older lady I realize that I am learning more and more about women going through their mid-life crisis. A few years ago a met a woman named Tracey who was going through what she considered her mid-life crisis. As we spoke of what happened, it seemed that unlike most of my friends, she didn't seem to have any problems with it. She is a very comical woman: she seemed to lazy to really care that she had a crisis and didn't really have to do anything to over come it. Anything I asked her about from wearing excess make up to buying sexy heels she had some humorous reason as to why she wouldn't be able to do anything. It's women like her who make me laugh now whenever people tell me how much I should worry when I go through my mid-life crisis should I go through one.
During the mid-life crisis, many women put on a ton of makeup trying to make themselves look younger and more attractive. Tracey didn't do this by any means and I asked why: she said that make up is too expensive and she would look ugly in it anyway, so she doesn't want to waste her time. It seems in this case, frugality and common sense defeated the mid-life crisis. My other friend who was with us was in shock at this and was amazed any woman would ever so no to make up. Then again, Tracey is a unique woman all her own.
The next thing that me and my friend asked was about her mid-life crisis and what shoes she would wear; a pair of shoes can tell you everything about how a woman is feeling. She wore her usual pair of shoes; no sexy high heels and no sneakers, just the casual sandals she always loves to wear (she lives in the warmer area of Australia) and we asked her why not change the shoes. She responded by saying she is very lazy and doesn't run and high heels are too painful. It was amazing, she is the first woman I have met that has chosen comfort over fashion. I really admire Stacey for this, mid-life crisis or not she does what she wants.
I have to say that Tracey is unique as was hermid life crisis . Normally, I just hear horror tales or stories which are just made to scare men and women alike. I hope this helps some of the people who read this lose some stress about this; no matter what we will age and we can not change the past or what we have become so easily.

Rise of Women in Male Driven Society.

In this male dominated society of ours, women are suppressed in many places. Women do not get the proper freedom and privilege that their sexual counterpart experience. Each and every woman has the secret desire of living a life of freedom. They need more laughter and enjoyment in their life; they need ways to play and areas to unleash their wisdom. But, they seldom get all these. However, some of them have succeeded. The others are still waiting for the right moment to arrive when they will break all chains and fly high like a free bird. They want themselves to be heard and seen by others. Women must have all the privileges like that of a man.
There are various non-profit organizations especially for woman empowerment. These organizations conduct many women's event that can let women feel the taste of freedom. These programs relax their mind, body and soul and make them feel what they really are. These programs offer spiritual awareness, personal development for the women. Besides, women looking for harmony, sense of wellness or a balanced life can find these programs very effective. They can discover their inner strength and what suits them better. These organizations do not offer these programs as course; rather they are like a celebration with coaching inside it for woman empowerment. Women find it as a unique experience in their life.
These organizations have proved to be very effective to women with different problems; they can even change a woman's life. Some of these programs are total refreshment for a woman's mind, body and soul. After completion of the programs women can see the world through a different eye of greater self confidence, self love and greatness. They can discover and utilize their inner beauty, which they could not do before. Each and every women has got large potential in them, the women's organizations helps them to unleash that to the world. During these woman empowerment programs, women can interact with each other, know about their problems and help others to solve it with their experience.
Apart from different woman empowerment programs, various other women's events like women's conferences, martial art classes, fitness practice, yoga classes, etc, are also held. All these programs are very effective for the wellness of women, both mentally and physically. During the conference sessions, problems of each and everyone is listened very carefully and solved. Women can feel more comfortable when they are in the surrounding of other women rather than men. They feel freer to discuss about their problems within the feminine energy circle. During the conference there is both laughter and tears, when women uncover their deep buried secrets to other women.
Situation has changed a lot than older times. Women are now rising up in the society. Many of them have even been successful in designing their own life. Women are getting to know themselves slowly. They have beaten men in many fields of this male driven society. Our age can no more be considered as male dominated; it is now ruled by both men and women.
