Love is in the air! ...SOMEWHERE! :-) I'm a confessed bonafide procrastinator! I'm not proud, but it's MY story! As they say, "It is what it is." Very rarely am I able to think of, order, and get shipped anything personalized; so with that being said I'm putting together a list of great bridal shower ideas that are sure-fire lovely gifts for the intended receiver to ensure a picture with them...or at the very least a thank you card! Lol! You could very easily personalize some of them or not, but they're nice, inexpensive...and GREAT!
•Linen napkins and napkin rings
•Picture frame
•Champagne/Martini glasses
•Vase
•Blender/Mixer
•Coffee maker
•Bundt pan
•Lingerie
•Cookbook
•Cocktail guidebook
•Bathing suit for the honeymoon
•Wine/Stopper/Holder
•Embroidered robe
•Breakfast-in-bed tray
•Theater tickets
•Luggage
•Beach towels and a beach bag
•His/Her massage
•Gift certificates (you can NEVER go wrong)
XOXO

Style Khrystianism #37
Some events you'd just rather not dress particularly "down" for! An alternative to wearing flat shoes during an outdoor activity like the beach, a lawn barbecue, festival, park, etc. would be wedges!
Have fun and stay sheik ladies!!

How Many Ways to Cheat
...let me count the ways!
Cheating, unfaithfulness and disloyalty are all common intercerseres of failed relationships. Not just monogamous relationships, but; business partnerships, friendships, etc.
I've come up with reasons people cheat, are unfaithful or disloyal!
1. Fear- most people hate to lose, hate to (seemingly) be the underdog, don't want to be one-upped. They must do whatever necessary to stay on top and WIN (so they think) and this includes cheating! They cheat to get ahead or stay ahead (so they think) Ever played a game of cards or dominoes, or even entered a contest with a cheater? What do you think they're cheating for?!
2. Needy- the constant need for validation or stroking! If they don't constantly feel validated by you they NEED to feel it somewhere and the first person showing them attention or validating the fact that the matched their shirt and pants for the day gets them all for themselves. The "yes friend" is loyal right?! The one that goes along with all of your narcissistic schemes and plans? The colleague that loves all of your ideas no matter how much they'll cost the company or how far off the mark they are?! Wrong!!! Careful of the "fans"! They'll lead you in the deep waters and then watch you drown! But you love 'em, right?!
3. Easy to Please- you have to be right?! I mean, when something is exclusive that means not just anyone can have it! Limited edition! Worthy! A true treasure! Reserved for VIP's! Clearly, you're easy to please and ANYBODY can have you AND get you off! They can make you "feel" good! They know how to show you a good time! But as Oprah said; it's easy, "fun" and great to have all those people riding in the limo with you, but where are they when you need a ride or catching the bus? (Don't worry...I'll wait!)
4. Greedy- they can't eat just one, they must eat the entire bag of potatoe chips! When they're done...yea; they feel like crap. Want to make up for it and beat themselves up but yet, like clockwork, the moment another opportunity arises (bag of chips) they're pouncing all over it!
The moral of the four: Grow some! If you're scared...go to church! Get secure in your own skin; you don't need anyone to validate you! Take a look around you! The people you can really, truly count and depend on...these aren't the folks you should cheat! The deserve faithfulness and loyalty! Give it!!
I'm out!

What EVERY Woman Needs!
"Every woman should have four pets in her life: A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass to pay for it all!"

Peace Beyond All Understanding...
The Serenity Prayer~
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.
~Reinhold Niebuhr
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path. Proverbs 3, 5-6

The Meet Part Deux
Back awhile ago I set up a list of specific places and ideas on "Hot Spots" and more importantly WHERE to meet men. *NOTE* Where to MEET men, not FIND them! The key is to make yourself accessible, not hunt for any man! Know this*
There are, as always; many tried, tested and true places that could be as lucky for you as they have been for me! Remember; there is NO perfect place or ideal situation! Just go out and be approachable, saavy, smart, laugh, live and enjoy love coming to you! It's not complicated it just takes time! As promised; here are some additional hot spots to meet-
#6 Weddings
WHY- Love is already in the air...the water, champaign, the ambiance....so why not bask within it?! You're dressed up and looking great, they are too. Enjoy the moment!
HOW- Get there! Just because you don't officially have a plus one doesn't mean you should decline! He's probably there!!! He could be the wedding singer (clears throat) or the groomsmen, or a fraternity brother, or a relative of the family member...okay! You get the point! Mingle, dance, laugh, smile, get introduced to unfamiliar, unattached faces!
#7 The Gym
WHY- Everyone is into fitness! At least you know he takes pride in his appearance and health and he'll motivate you to do the same!
HOW- Get off your lazy tush and go! Put in your little cute workout gear, pin your hair up, add a little mascara and lip gloss (PLEASE! For the love of all things Chanel; do NOT go into that gym with a full face of makeup!!!) Pop a squat, do some reps, even take a class. If he likes what he sees he'll come over! You two can turn into workout buddies and better yet; life-long mates!
#8 On Vacation
WHY- If you love to travel, you found someone else that does too! There's no stress, no worries, and no real responsibilities! Get to know each other on a fun, friendly and flirty level first!
HOW- You're looking and acting like a barrel of fun...that positive energy WILL attract a positive person! Share a drink in the lobby of the hotel, meet for breakfast or lunch (AGAIN...MEET! Not wake up to breakfast! Remember you are a L.A.D.Y!) hang out on the beach together, your group and his group meet at a party or club together that way no one feels committed! Afterwards; stay connected through exchanging numbers, email, or other social media!
#9 Workshops
WHY- Any type of professional development broadens your horizons and elevates you to new levels! If you're stagnant professionally, you'll be stagnant in life and most definitely in dating!
HOW- Sign-up! Network! You already have something in common, now all you have to do is build! And that's what all relationships are about anyway...building! Sit at the table with those attractive men, be open, discuss...nothing too deep, but certainly don't be a wall flower!
#10 Gas Station
WHY- Funny right?! But EVERYONE needs gas, so everyone goes there! If you're filling up, you'll probably be there for awhile and that's just enough time to *spark* or not! And if he offers to pump it for you AND fill you up...he's a KEEPER! LOL just kidding...a little! (wink)
HOW- Duh! Get the gas...they will come!
