7 Reasons Why Diamonds Are Still A Girl’s Best Friend
Marilyn Monroe made that phrase famous. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. That still makes a lot of sense. Here's why.
Reason #1 diamonds are a girls best friend because they are so beautiful. Fiery, romantic diamonds light up her finger. White diamonds look beautiful with outfits in every color.
Reason #2 diamonds are forever. There are lots of beautiful things around. Why diamonds? Roses are beautiful, but they fade. Dresses are gorgeous, but after childbirth, or as she ages, that beautiful dress would not look as beautiful on her anymore.
Reason #3 diamonds are precious. Sure, moissanite may be what a girl might buy for herself, because of its lower price, but moissanite is man made. Diamonds are rare, natural stones. The diamonds that girls love are of the highest quality. The lower grade diamonds may be used in tools, but women look at the quality of the diamond. See http://www.buy-diamonds.net/choosing_a_quality_diamond.htm for details on choosing a diamond. A large, high quality diamond would definitely impress.
Reason #4 diamonds are romantic. Especially when he is proposing to her with a diamond worth two months of his salary. It means sacrifice for love on his part. The fact that he loves her enough to save that sum to buy that diamond for her is a very romantic gesture that she will remember for years to come, each time she sees that diamond on her finger.
Reason #5 diamonds say that her man can provide for her very well. From the days when men would go out and hunt for animals to feed the family, to today, when most men go out there to bring in the money to support the family, women love being cared for. Being provided for. In many cultures, women look to marry a rich man. A man who can provide for them. If a guy can afford to give her diamonds, he can easily provide for her daily needs and for that of her children.
Reason #6 diamonds are practical. Like the song, diamond's are a girl's best friend. A kiss will not pay the bills. A rose isn't going to pay for her rental. A diamond, on the other hand, in times of emergency, can be a life saver. A single diamond can be sold for enough money to pay for a woman's bills when times get tough.
Reason #7 diamonds are a girl's insurance. Ok, so now, there are insurance policies in paper, that promise to pay for her old age medical bills etc, but diamonds are a lot more beautiful. She holds and sees them. She wears them. Everyone admires them. They assure her that even when she gets old, when she loses her looks, even if her guy leaves her for a younger woman, the diamonds would still be with her. A collection of diamond jewelry assures her that in her old age, or she is in dire need for cash, a piece of diamond jewelry could be sold, or pawned for much needed cash. Diamonds are a girl's insurance.

"Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us."- Earl Nightingale
I have a good friend, let's call him Ted, who's pretty average looking. He's short and occasionally puts on a little extra weight around his middle. Yet, before his marriage, he was always a big hit with women.
I asked him his secret.
"It's all attitude. I'd walk into a bar or a party and think to myself 'I'm the guy to be with.' Women would pick up on that."
My husband told me a similar story:
"When I was in my early 20s I used to hang out at this bar, and there was this massively overweight bouncer with an unruly beard at the door. The guy was always surrounded by women. I mean, he wasn't great looking, and he definitely wasn't rich, so I asked him how he attracted all these women. He told me, 'It's all in my head. I think I'm Cary Grant, and women do , too.'"
So, clearly, attitude is everything.
You can look like George Clooney, but if you don't project the attitude that you're "the one to be with," you won't ever attract the woman you want.
So, how do you summon the attitude you need to be popular with gorgeous women? Start thinking of yourself as attractive, regardless of your acne scars, bald spot, or pot belly.
Your mind is an extremely powerful instrument. Use it! Run a mental movie of yourself attracting desirable women and bring in lots of sensory detail. Where are you? What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? Taste? Smell?
Use an affirmation to boost your confidence, for instance: "I am happy, vital, and irresistably attractive." Say it out loud. Write it ten times a day on a piece of paper (then destroy the evidence by ripping it up and throwing it in the trash!). Recite it to yourself as you fall asleep at night.
Keep it up until your winning new attitude takes root in your subconscious. It will bring you the wonderful women you deserve.
It worked for Ted, and it will work for you.

What Does A Maid Of Honor Do?
The scope of the maid of honor's role in the wedding depends upon (1) how much responsibility she is willing to take on, and (2) how much responsibility the bride is willing to delegate. Usually the maid of honor is chosen because she is 1 of the bride's very closest friends, and her job description as maid of honor is similar to her activities as a friend.
Aide-De-Camp
The maid of honor does much more than simply walk down the aisle ahead of the bride and stand beside her during the ceremony. She is the "highest ranking" personal assistant to the bride during the wedding preparations. The maid of honor shoulders some large responsibilities, such as hosting the bridal shower and bachelorette party, and helping to choose the bridesmaid's dresses.
But she is also there just to be supportive of the bride, to act as a friend and confidante, and to help her in ways both great and small. Throughout the weeks and months of wedding planning, the maid of honor is involved every step of the way, from choosing a dress and wedding location to helping wrap favors and set up for the reception.
Party Hostess
2 of the larger responsibilities of the maid of honor are hosting the bridal shower and the bachelorette party. As 1 of the bride's closest friends, the maid of honor is the ideal candidate to host these gatherings. She knows best what type of party the bride will enjoy, and what types of gifts are most suitable for the bride's taste. Because the bridal shower and bachelorette party are aspects of the wedding preparation the bride usually has little control over, she'll have the pleasure of not stressing about them. She delegates these duties to her maid of honor, and rests assured that her friend will handle them admirably.
Wardrobe Consultant
Many times the maid of honor plays a key role in selecting dresses for the wedding. She ordinarily chooses her own dress for the wedding from a selection provided by the bride. Once the color and style of the maid of honor's dress has been selected, she works hand-in-hand with the bride to choose the bridesmaids' dresses. Their style and color will complement the maid of honor's dress, while taking into consideration what looks best on each of the bridesmaids. The maid of honor often assists the bride in choosing her own wedding dress.
Adviser And Confidante
The wedding day is understandably hectic for the maid of honor. Although she has supported the bride throughout the planning process, her most important responsibilities take place on the actual day of the wedding. Besides standing at the altar beside her friend, the most important role of the maid of honor this day is to keep the bride calm and to handle any last-minute problems that may arise.
Angel-In-Chief
Like most things in life, few weddings go exactly as planned, and it is the maid of honor's duty to be sure that any problem does not upset the bride. Emergency supplies the maid of honor should keep on hand include: extra stockings, lipstick in the bride's color, tissues, safety pins and hairpins. These can come in handy if the bride has any last-minute trouble with her attire, hair or makeup. The maid of honor plays the important role of ensuring that the bride looks her best throughout the day.
Counselor And Friend
When all is said and done, the most significant role of the maid of honor is to be a friend to the bride. The planning and preparations, and the actual wedding itself can be very stressful and emotional for the bride. What the bride needs more than anything else during this time is someone who will offer a sympathetic ear and practical advice. This, then, is the most important function of the maid of honor.

Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (0)Relationship - Test If You Are Feeling Crushed?
Is your relationship becoming uncomfortable? Are you no longer enjoying the relationship? Do you not understand what might be going wrong, but you can sense it? You are not happy, but cannot pin point the cause of unhappiness. You want to get away from the relationship but are arguing for and against and getting tired of the whole thing. This is a typical; sign of getting crushed and facing confusion in the relationship. Let us discuss more about how this happens.
I will give one example- your partner is with you. Your partner is not contributing any positives to the relationship. She/he keeps complaining that you are the cause of their unhappiness and discomfort. You wonder how when the ball is in the other court? She/he does not understand what ever you are trying to communicate. You get angry and try to explain again only to get further frustrated. If you talk of separation you are told that they will not be able to live alone. They want to be with you. Get all the comforts from you. They care nothing about your comfort. They blame you for everything that goes wrong. They understand no communication or act as if they don't understand. You want to run away from it all, but they make you feel guilty of doing something terribly wrong by that. You simply do not know what to do and are at your wits end. You feel crushed.
What should you do in this situation? Let me tell you. Don't interact with your partner. Don't try to communicate at all. Ask them to take care of themselves and not to bother about you at all. Get away slowly by taking no obligation from them. Let them feel it slowly. Over a period of time they will understand that they cannot manipulate you. If at that point, you separate, they will not be able to play their game of making you feel guilty. You will get your freedom. Reclaim your freedom from relationships that crush you.
Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (0)An In-depth Look at Calling Cards
Every single day we meet people - fellow employees, old friends, fresh acquaintances. Regardless of how we come in contact with them, it is a known fact that we are always connecting. While connecting and building relationships is quite common in today's world, it can be difficult to exchange business cards if you feel it is too formal. Are you eager to give out your information, but just don't feel comfortable "selling" your business cards? For centuries, humans around the globe have felt the same discomfort. Luckily, there are alternative ways to still exchange information, without feeling too proper.
In the beginning of the Victorian era, the most appropriate way to exchange contact information was through a calling card. This type of card, which was much more informal than a typical business one, allowed the individual to feel more comfortable exchanging information. Additionally, these personal calling cards were a great way to get into the privileged and influential cliques during that time. Due to the fact that these were so popular in the social scene, Victorian calling cards swept through Europe and the rest of the world, dazzling millions with their fancy designs.
Today, Victorian calling cards are generally referred to as personal calling cards. Students, adults, and children alike can all benefit from these wonderful contact cards. For instance, if you are meeting a potential love interest for the first time, you absolutely want to avoid looking too business-like by handing out your business card. Furthermore, you may not want to give out too much information about your employment. Personal calling cards allow you to appear personal, friendly, and it gives the message that you are open to a new relationship. Additionally, students can benefit from this type of personal calling card. Since most newly graduated students do not have the business experience or a position yet, it can be difficult to actually make a business card. Therefore, personal calling cards can allow any student to network, but still keep the informal contact alive.
In some areas, children use personalized calling cards as gift tags or play date cards. Instead of purchasing a birthday card to go with a gift, the guest simply attaches their personalized calling card and inserts a handwritten "To ____" message.
Though business cards are a wonderful way to network, some occasions are just too casual to exchange such information. With the ability to create an individual style at websites such as Printedexpressions.com, these personal calling cards may generate an entirely different trend within the current social scene. A simple card with minimal contact information is key, especially if you do not want to give too much information away. Regardless of your preference, Victorian calling cards are no longer a thing of the past. These personal calling cards allow us to show a creative side
Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (0)5 Reasons Why Affairs Don
What is the purpose for having an affair? Most people would say it is because they like or love the other person they are having the affair with. Think about this. At one time in your life, you also loved the person you married, right? What happened? Some people have affairs and trysts because they allow their negative emotions to control them. Simply put, they listen to their feelings. Sex outside of marriage is a lack of self-control. Having Self-control comes from God. No one has the power to defeat the flesh on his or her own.
We all want to be accepted, appreciated and loved and when we don't get that at home, some of us go out of our way to go get it. But it is morally wrong to go outside the bounds of marriage and enjoy someone other than who we married. So why do some people do it?
1. Affairs simply don't work because many times they are just a temporary fling. Marriage is (supposed to be) forever. And if the affair is not temporary, one day you might end up marrying the person you cheated with, and later find out the euphoria of the relationship is gone. And now your new spouse nags about your faults. Now what? Should you cheat on your second spouse now to make yourself "feel" better again?
2. Affairs don't work because you're married. More than half of all affairs dissolve because the cheater wants to repent and work on their marriage. This says something to all of you who get involved with a married person. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Better yet, don't get involved with a married person.
3. Affairs don't usually work because the unmarried partner is desperate for you to divorce your spouse. Their desperate behavior lets you see what kind of a person you have been hanging around with. Sooner or later, if they keep pushing you to divorce your spouse, you'll leave them and go back to your spouse.
4. Affairs don't work because after going through all the trouble of moving out of your house and being the bad guy with your children, you actually feel worse than before. This happens a lot. Adultery is not worth the effort. Have you ever thought about what kind of a person would have an affair with a married person anyway?
The reality is most people who commit adultery wish they wouldn't have done it. But the minority few cheaters will continue to cheat on all their partners until they are physically unable to. They will never find satisfaction within themselves, so they get it from using and abusing others. Fortunately, this is only the minority, but works for both men and women.
5. Affairs don't work because most of the time it is sexual lust that leads the heart to have the affair in the first place. Some people try real hard to find justification for committing adultery or they blame their spouse. This is how powerful feelings can be.
Wrong thinking steers people further and further away from God and closer and closer into sin. A person's lustful thoughts eventually make him to commit adultery. The need for acceptance and love is so strong in the mind that it leads to sex outside of marriage.
The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 2 Chronicles 15:2 NIV)
A person's infidelity is only the symptom of a greater issue within them. Without seeking out the Spiritual Christ for our spiritual well being, we will remain separate from God and unable to remain self-controlled. We need God!
Choosing to work on your marriage will make you a stronger and better marriage partner in the long run. You can skip all of this game playing with yourself and become the person God intended you to be. God has made us wise enough to make the right choices for ourselves. We can choose to love the person we married or we can follow the ways of the world. Use the gifts God has given you and work on your marriage.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Titus 2:11-12

Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (0)10 Online Dating Safety Tips
Online dating offers lonesome people an unprecedented opportunity to find that special someone, or just to make some interesting friends. While the world might not be full of "loonies," there are just enough of them out there to make it a possibly risky adventure. Follow these basic safety tips to minimize the possibility of a dating disaster happening to you.
1. Post recent photos of yourself that really depict how you look. Don't try to make potential dates think you are something you are not. Honesty will always pay off for those who are sincerely seeking a companion.
2. Don't plan too big a date for your first meeting. Just get together for a cup of coffee during your lunch break. Leave yourself an out if the date is a disaster.
3. Don't drink too much when you're getting acquainted with them. Alcohol is well-known for its ability to make a person lose their better judgment. It can also make someone seem much more interesting and attractive to you than they actually would be on a day-to-day sober basis.
4. Meet in a public place. To be really safe, let someone know about the meeting, and ask them to contact you at a predetermined time to make sure you are safe. Don't forget to take your cell phone with you, so you can phone for help if you need it.
5. Watch out for would-be dates who seem to want to be all things to you without admitting to any flaws. Some will try to get you to think they are super-adaptable and would fit into any type of situation. Very few people are really like this. Look instead for someone who is not afraid to pin themselves down.
6. Set up a separate email account just for dating correspondence. Make it anonymous, and don't call yourself by a name that has sexual overtones. Doing so will attract the wrong type of potential dates.
7. Pay attention to your gut feelings. Maybe you can't put your finger on what exactly is wrong, but if you have reservations about progressing forward with a particular person, back off. Our intuition is often a step ahead of the game, picking up on weird comments or behaviors that our conscious mind might not notice. Trust your instincts.
8. Remember that identity theft is a very real possibility these days. To protect yourself, first, stay anonymous with your potential date until you are sure you can trust them. This means you don't reveal your phone number or street address prematurely. It also means you don't leave your purse with them while you go to the ladies' room.
9. When you're having those first few real dates, don't leave your drink unattended. Consider the possibility that they might slip something into it.
10. Don't let them pick you up in their own vehicle. Instead, drive yourself or get a taxi. Don't leave with them or go to their home afterward until you've had enough dates to know you can trust them. Similarly, don't take them home with you either.
Hopefully, you'll be getting together with someone who is trustworthy and enjoyable to be with. Just in case, be sure you follow these safety tips when venturing into the world of online dating.

Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (0)Attract Your Dream Mate - What Do You Have To Lose?
There had been an old saying, a confident women, is always a beautiful woman.
I don't know how much will you be agree with that, but the statement should be adjusted to :
A Confident Person, No Matter Guy Or Girl, Young Or Old, Is Always An Attractive Person.
A confident, relaxed and happy person is always attractive.
(And, relaxed and happy personality is the result of confidence)
Now, let's see what confidence leads to in your love life:
A confident person always feels good about him/herself. When you feel good about yourself, you tend to be more positive about your surroundings, it doesn't matter how you look like, or whether you are tall, short, thin or fat. You tend to smile more, you tend to talk more with others, and you will not be easily depressed.
When you smile more, you will get him/her to smile to you too. When both of you smile with each other, you will feel easier to start a conversation.
When you are able to start a conversation with others, you lose your fear of not being able to break the ice. Result? You became even more confident!
And guess what? You start to be more daring to talk to him/her! You may start to talk about jokes, (When people laugh, they become closer, you like those with great sense of humor, right?).
And then, you start to talk about things that happen in your life. (When you share your own experience, he/she will share his/her too- remember)
When this happens, both you and he/she are into each others life, and you start caring about each other. Whether or not you and he/she become together in the future or not, it really doesn't matter. If you can't become soul mate, you can always become good friends.
What REALLY matters is, you manage to attract him/her and make a good chance of getting your love.
ª Did you see the chain reaction as the results of your self-confidence?
ª Did you notice that once it gets started, it leads from one to another, and at the same time, build your confidence even stronger?
ª Did you realize that subconsciously, you managed to attract him/her?
DO YOU SEE THE POWER OF SELF CONFIDENCE?
But, you problem is, you don't have the self confidence with you in the first place!
This is how you feel about yourself right now:
You are not handsome, you are not beautiful.
You don't have good body shape, you are big in size, you are too short…etc
You don't know how to start a conversation, you are shy….
You, you, you…………………and so on………
In Short, you feel that you don't have what it takes to build your self-confidence.
What do you need?
You need a KICK START!
You need that magic touch to get things start rolling.
You need A CORRECT MINDSET!
Before you read on, STOP all the other things that you are doing now, and READ CAREFULLY!
I am going to reveal to you the most important phrase you ever need to be successful in your love life.
It is not something new, but it will open a new door to your love life.
It is not something cheerful; it actually makes you slap yourself on your face.
And, worst of all, if you don't read carefully, you become even worse than what you are now.
"YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!"
Confused? Wondering how this will kick start your self confidence?
Read on.
What is the real reason behind your lack of self-confidence?
It is the fear of losing what you have now, it is the fear of coming out from a comfort zone (although it is not that comfort anyway) and face the challenge in front of you.
But, in your love life, what do you have with you that you can't afford to lose anyway?
You have nothing! (Now, slap yourself)
Are you aware that you have nothing in the first place? Do you know that if you be more confident, the only things you will lose are those things that you don't want anyway?
The only risk you are taking to be more confident is that you will lose all those sadness and loneliness that you been trying hard to get rid of?
What will you lose to start smiling with others? (Well, I am not asking you to smile all the time; it will make others think that you are insane…J )
What will you lose if you approach him/her to say hi, but rejected?
The answer is: NOTHING.
Why? If you don't approach him/her, what do you have?
The answer is: NOTHING.
Is there any difference?
But, what if he/she start to say "hi" to you?
Get what I meant?
"You have nothing to lose" Be confident, your happiness is just a few steps in front of you.
