Want to Drop 10 Pounds?

Are your jeans too snug, is your dress too tight? Are you popping buttons on your blouse, or is your dryer shrinking all of your clothes like mine does and now things aren’t fitting properly? Welcome to a struggle that most everyone I know has. We all want to look fit, sexy and trim. The problem is that so many people go about it all the wrong way. Losing 10 pounds can actually your blood pressure, and reduce the risk of a stroke. Did you also know that by replacing one can of soda each day with a tall glass of water also helps you to shed the weight? Liquids are fabulous for you, but not all liquids…booze has an abundant amount of empty calories and will pack on the pounds faster than you can say bibbity-bobbity-boo! There is no fairy godmother that will with the wave of a magic wand make the weight go away…it’s all on you now. 

 

If you are truly unhappy with your looks and sizes keep going up rather than going down, it isn’t your scale that is broken my friend…you need some preventative maintenance on YOU! Get started with ten easy steps to curve the appetite and begin feeling happier and healthier! 

 

Try these 10 things and see how they work for you;

1. Water yourself. A recent study proved that dieters who guzzled plenty of H2O lost more weight than those who didn’t. True or False? TRUE!!! Water is great for the body, and remember that your body is your house and it is the only one that you will ever have so for goodness sakes, take care of it!

2. Halve at it. Divide your normal portion by two and save the rest for later. I do this…it’s not cutting out food, it’s making it stretch further. Spread the meals out a little and eat smaller portions. You are likely to feel full on less food than you think.

3. Go meatless.  In general, vegetarians have lower body weights than their meat-eating peers. Follow their lead…at least until you drop a few pounds.For some this may be very difficult but for others not a problemo! If you started reading labels and learning what went into the products that you ingest, you might change your tune about what you put in your mouth. 

4. Go vegan. Not everyone can do it and it does take changing your entire diet and way of life….but you may want to give it a try if nothing else is working and you feel like the weight just isn’t dropping off like it should be. Remember, this doesn’t work for everyone…Vegetarianism not helping you lose? Take it to the next level by swearing off eggs and dairy too. Cheese can be a diet killer. We all love it, but it’s packing on the cottage cheese in your thighs and your ass and it’s getting to be bikini time and no one wants dimples all over her derriere.

5. Get fresh. Eliminate all packaged foods and eat only fresh ingredients you’ve prepared. No bags, boxes, cans, or cartons allowed.

6. Diet 2 days a week. If you can’t stick to a program all the time, try slashing your calories to 650 a day just 2 days a week and eating normally the other days. A recent study suggests this offers protection from breast cancer as well as assistance with weight loss.

 7. Not so sweet. Everyone knows sugar isn’t healthy, but again, I am repeating myself on this but; when you start reading labels, you find it in unexpected places, like pasta sauce and frozen entrees. Cutting the sugar out of your diet will mean healthier meals overall. Some food sale lower calories, but look at the sodium. That is a killer for dieters! Got to keep the sodium levels down or your bloat out like a fish.

8. Cut the flour. The short-term elimination of floury foods like white bread and pastries can efficiently kick-start your weight loss plan.

9. Be virgin. For some this is not a concern, to others, it may be difficult and if it is, dieting s not your only concern here my friend. Alcoholic beverages are some of the emptiest calories out there. Replace them with water, and the weight comes off like wha-la!

10. Walk 2 minutes out of every 30. Short walking breaks add up to weight loss. Learn how to work your body and you’ll see improvements without having to even really try dieting.

 

Start out slowly…Just take what you have and cut it in half. Exercise a little and stop boozin it so you can start losin it! If all else fails, do remember that sex burns calories too! Regardless of how you change your eating habits, there is always something to fall back on! Don’t wait, set goals and start losing weight today! 

 

Confidence and Positive Energy …Empower Yourself!

How confident do you feel about “you?” How strong is your energy flow? When you’re feeling unsure of yourself or your capabilities, your options in life can seem few and far between. Not only do you have trouble recognizing opportunities to improve your life, you also resist taking action and end up feeling stuck and defeated much of the time. Empowering yourself is a simple matter of switching your perspective and choosing to believe that you are not powerless or stuck. Here’s a good example,… you may currently have a perception that you’re not talented or  resourceful. Such a belief will keep you locked in a cycle of fear, futility and inactivity because you won’t see the point of trying to improve your life, or you’ll be too afraid to try. Is this sounding familiar at all? You need to focus your energies on you and being a better person because you are a better person, you just have to start believing in yourself. When someone tells you that you can’t…prove them wrong.

Regardless of the perceptions and beliefs that may be holding you back, there are specific things you can do to transform them and embrace more empowering beliefs. Below you’ll find three easy ways to help you switch your perspective from disempowerment to empowerment:

 

1. Challenge your limiting beliefs and fears.

Here are the cold hard facts. The most difficult thing about perceptions is that they appear to be undeniable truth in your own mind. For example, you may have held a belief for years that you’re not good at a particular task or activity, but when you begin to explore that “truth” later, you realize that you never gave it your full effort or didn’t allow time to fully master it. Once you do, you realize that you’re capable of much more than you ever suspected! Yes, you can do this!

In order to fully empower yourself, get into the habit of questioning and challenging any limiting beliefs, fears and doubts that come up about you or your capabilities. Are they really true? Why do you think so? Have you ever tried to prove them wrong? By asking questions like this and being willing to expand your perceptions, you quickly realize that you are the only one holding yourself back!

 

2. Affirm your strengths and capabilities frequently.

Along with disempowerment usually comes a belief that you’re weak and powerless, which is simply another perception! Begin changing this perception by affirming frequently that you are strong, powerful, talented and capable. Build up yourself up with encouraging words and thoughts and you’ll begin to believe in yourself more and more each day. Over time, this belief continues to grow and you’ll be able to do things you never would have believed you were capable of before.

3. Take action.

This is no time to get down on yourself…buck up and get a grip sister! Feeling disempowered usually causes you to hold back on taking action, either because you’re frightened, or because you believe it’s futile to try to change anything. Your first impulse might be to wait until you’re feeling stronger before you take action, but did you know that taking action can make you feel stronger? That’s right, taking action can empower you! You will feel soooo good about yourself! Be willing to take action in order to build up your confidence, even if you have to take very small steps. Come up with one small action you can take, push your fear aside and then go for it! Then keep that positive cycle going by taking small action steps and moving forward bit by bit, and eventually you’ll realize that you are anything but weak and powerless!

 

 

True Love, What Is It,.. How Does One Find It?

Every year around this time (Valentine’s Day) the question arouses,…”What is true love, and how do I find it?” As Whitney Houston sang in a song…”How will I know” if he really loves me? What is true love? Well, true love…. is  that  first step to that amazing feeling you get that make you all giddy, and makes your heart skip a beat.  The” true” love is something far more than just simply falling in love. First comes the issues of trust, because without it every relationship is fated and can’t survive a long time. When you have trust in your partner you are anxiety-free. That must be shared because when the one person in the relationship believes in the other, but the other don’t do this, this leads to problems and probably to broke up. The true love is a friendship. You must to can be not only lover to your partner, you must be his friend. Real love is what we experience when two or more people come together with open hearts already filled with love, and the love from their hearts overflows as it is openly and joyously shared.

If you come to a relationship with a feeling of emptiness and unworthiness, you cannot experience real love. Real love is not the cake – it is the icing on the cake. The cake needs to be the love that comes through you from Spirit, and the icing is the love you share with another or others.Your partner must be the man from who you can ask for advice and who you can say your secrets, because he will not say to no one else this things, he wouldn’t be betrayed you. It is a true love when you can talk about everything with the person who you are in love with. Exactly the talking is the most important thing for the true love, because when the partners talk, they can find a decision to every problem, which they have. One big part of the couples breaking up, because they can’t or don’t want to talk. When the love is a true love, she can survive everything. Every problem is a test for the feelings and strength of one relationship. The true love is help. When you really love someone you are ready to help him right away and to do everything for him.

Of course this must be shared. The true love is care, because when you are in love with someone you make everything that your partner can feel fine and loved. When the love is a true love this fact automatically eliminates the egoism, because now you are not alone and you must thing about the wishes, which have the person with who you are. When you love someone you want to make him happy. The true love means support too. The feeling when you know that by you stands someone who loves you and every time will support you, is really great. One love is true when the two in the relationship are frank and honest.

 When you became well familiarize with your partner, you will find his entire blemish, but you must not aspire to remove them. If your partner’s love to you is real he will make everything possible to remove them himself. When two people can make so that their character fit and when they can make compromises that mean that these people love each other and their love is a true love. To find the true love means to find a perfect match for you, your half. The people are saying that everyone has a half somewhere.If and when anyone is lucky enough to find this, hold on to it, enjoy your time together and be thankful that you found such a wonderful person.

 

 

How to get your beautiful smile noticed….

Do you like your smile? It makes you who you are…those soft elegant lips that are so becoming can derail a mans train of thought if used properly.  Truth be told, most people admit that they are not completely comfortable with their smile. Some people will say it is because they hate the placement of their teeth, while others will blame it on the color of their teeth. Almost everyone would like their teeth to be a bit straighter and a bit whiter. Natural looking teeth are very attractive  especially when they are healthy and bright. You can have a gorgeous smile without braces or professional whitening treatment. Just use these tips to help you get a better smile you feel comfortable sharing with the everyone. When your smile is exquisite, you’ll feel like a million bucks!

How’s your Hygiene?

Are you doing everything that you can to promote good hygiene? You know, it’s not just about your looks but fashion and how you wear it sure has a lot to do with it. I will  not a lie that proper hygiene can make or break your smile. To have the best looking smile you possibly can, be sure to see your dentist at least twice a year. Having two cleanings a year is a great way to keep your teeth gleaming. If you have things going on in your mouth that need fixed, make that dental appointment and get  your cavities taken care of right away! The longer you let them go, the better the chance is that the decay will spread to other teeth in the area. Decay is not attractive and can make your smile look less than fabulous. Remember, you need to care for your teeth yourself. This means that you should brush your teeth at least two times a day. Make sure you brush them for two minutes at a time as well; one minute for the upper teeth and one minute for the lower teeth. Floss daily to help prevent decay and show off that beautiful smile because a man loves sexy lips and a beautiful smile. Take care of you, your body is the only one that you’ll ever have so for goodness sakes, take care of it!

What are you Drinking?

A gorgeous smile requires more than just proper dental hygiene. To maintain bright teeth you should take a good look at your diet. Although most people know calcium is good for your bones, it is also important when it comes to your teeth. Milk is great for ensuring your teeth will be bright and healthy. Milk is a great choice of drink for a gorgeous smile, but some drinks can do more harm than good. Dark cola, coffee, and tea can change the shade of your teeth. All of these dark drinks can stain your enamel, leaving your smile dingy instead of bright. You should steer clear of these beverages in large amounts and stick with water or light-colored drinks. If you do indulge in a dark drink, try to brush your teeth immediately after consuming it. This will help stop the cycle. I fail in this department. Although I have a great smile, no thanks to my parents who put braces on my teeth at age 10, I take care of my choppers BUT I drink Coke and my teeth stain, so naturally I try to work on this issue by drinking martinis.

Do you wear makeup?

For females, the shade of lipstick you wear can determine how bright your smile and teeth look so many the color choice count! Women who wear lipsticks with orange tones in them will automatically seem to have yellow toned teeth. The orange tones bring out the yellow tones in your teeth, even if your teeth are healthy and bright. For the brightest looking teeth, consider lipsticks with pink or purple undertones. These colors help your teeth look whiter and will give your smile a boost. Wearing no lipstick at all can make your teeth look dingy as well, so be sure to at least smooth on some lip gloss before going out. Find the shade that works best with your skin tone and promote it.

How about using whiteners?

Many dentists will advise their patients to try over-the-counter whiteners. You can find agents to whiten your teeth in gel or cream forms. You can also find products as teeth strips or mouthpieces. All of these products will whiten your teeth safely over time. You must be consistent however and use them as directed. Do not use them more than directed however, or you may put yourself at a health risk. These whiteners are inexpensive and work well. You can also use toothpaste with whitener in it daily for an overall brighter smile.

Just Be You!

No matter if your teeth are a little crooked or as straight as an arrow, to have a gorgeous smile, you must be comfortable with yourself and this means having confidence! Wear your smile proudly. It is a part of you and people will love your smile more if you love it yourself. The way that you smile says a lot about you as a person. Those that smile with wide grins are usually comfortable with themselves. You need to learn to march to the beat of your own drum, that’s what carries me.  Decide that you are going to be happy with your smile and others will notice! Remember, you are simply delicious and there is only one YOU!!

 

 

 

 

Getting What You Want In Bed

Are you getting what you want, and by that I mean are you getting sex the way you like it? Sure, you and your partner make love regularly but are you really satisfied with what you do together? If your answer is “Yes, I am perfectly content with my sex life,” then that’s great. But if your answer is closer to “Umm… well…not so much” then perhaps it’s time for a change. Here are some tips for getting what you want in your sex life and enjoying it with your partner.

Know what you want

This sounds painfully obvious, but it’s not as simple as you may think. There are numerous reasons why it can be hard to answer the question, What do I want? Some people shut down their desires because they feel funny about them. Others have a very limited knowledge of the countless ways that humans can express themselves sexually. Many individuals don’t understand their bodies very well so they don’t know how to work them properly either. Listen to your body…it will talk to you!

Understanding what you want requires being open to your most personal thoughts and feelings. There is no need to be judgmental about desire. What do you fantasize about, either during lovemaking or when you’re alone? Fantasies are often crazy and unrealistic, but there may be elements that could easily be acted out in the bedroom. If you believe that you are lacking in sexual knowledge, then give yourself permission to learn more through reading books, watching movies, or surfing the web.

Ask for what you want

Now that you have a good idea of what you want, share it with your partner. Try to frame your request in a positive way. Don’t complain about how dissatisfied you are with the status quo. Instead, talk about how much you love your private time together and how it exciting it would be if he or she did a certain thing. If he or she seems unwilling to consider your request, then you need to find out why. Once you understand your partner’s hesitation, you may be able to come up with a compromise that would be rewarding for both of you.

Give your partner what he or she wants

Listen, If you’re getting what you want, it’s only fair that your partner gets what he or she wants, right? A sexual relationship should be mutually satisfying or it will hit the rocks pretty quickly. Give your partner an opportunity to talk about his or her own desires and do your best to fulfill them. Ladies, don’t withhold sex as a punishment. If something is bugging you, fix the real problem instead of letting your resentment spill over into the bedroom. And gentlemen, you need to understand that pleasing and fully satisfying your partner is the most effective way of getting more sex. My advice…let your guard down and get risque!

 

 

Is Mr. Right….Right Around the Corner?

 

Picture this…Every Saturday night, single women going on a ‘man hunt’ in search of  Mr. Right. What’s amazing is that many of them pass Mr. Right …1 every day in the office or while out walking the dog after work. We look high and low and some get lucky enough to find “him” and others walk a path in the ground with their dog that is bigger than a street on a road map. He’s as likely to be at your gym, shopping in your grocery store or standing in line at your favorite movie theatre as he is hanging around the singles mingle hour at some local bar. Honestly…he can be just about anywhere. Since it’s hard to find him, let’s look at the alternatives and search for the rules to make your job easier and your search more enjoyable:

 

Mr. Right Here

 

…is the guy who is handy. He works in your department or lives in your apartment complex. He might be the nice neighbor of your best friend. You’ve seen him so often that he blends into the scenery. He’s not pushy or forward and never comes at you with stupid pick up lines. He’s so nice that you immediately think there must be something wrong with him. But there’s not. He’s simply a nice guy, hard working and not trying too hard.

 

Mr. Right Now

 

…is the guy who’s asking you out for dates regularly. He wants to spend time with you, but you aren’t captivated by him. Finally, you look around and see all of your girlfriends with boyfriends, so you decide to hang onto him. After all, you don’t want to be the last girl left standing alone on the sidelines – and he’s happy just to be with you. You might actually like him if you weren’t using him for a prop to make you look popular while you scan the room for something better. Do people really do this, you bet they do.

 

Mr. Right for Them

 

…is the guy that everyone is certain is right for you and for soooooo many reasons.  He’s the son of your parents’ friends, your coworkers brother, cousin or boss and they’ve conspired several times so that you could meet him. He might be the college roommate of your best friend’s husband and they think he’s a wonderful guy that would be perfect just for you.

 

It’s possible that he’s a new member of the tennis club and your friends shuffle the foursome list so you can play doubles, hoping that the action extends beyond the court. Basically, you’re getting so much “help” from others that you aren’t sure if you really like him or if you’re trying to please other people who care about both of you.

 

Mr. Right… BUT

 

…is the guy that could be perfect, but there’s some impediment that you aren’t sure will work, you ponder the facts have uncertainties… Maybe he’s a divorced single father with custody of two small children. You aren’t even sure you want children and certainly not a ready-made family with instant motherhood. Or, he might have a job with extensive world travel or he’s in the military and could be stationed in hazardous locations for months at a time. this means no quality time together for long durations. So you ask..how can a relationship really grow?  He could be a great guy, but he just doesn’t fit your fairytale story – instead of the tall, handsome prince, he’s barely your height and prematurely balding…

 

So where is Mr. Right?

 

Before you answer, “I don’t know,” take a look around and I mean take  an honest look. Do you see Mr. Right Here, Mr. Right Now, Mr. Right for Them or Mr. Right But? You might take a second look. One of them could be your Mr. Right who is waiting for you to see him for what he really is.

 

What are the rules to follow?

 

When it comes to finding a Mr. Right, I have the most intricate and bewildering list of prerequisites …..the key? Put nature’s rules of romance into action!

 

Rule number one: first impressions are the key to success. As humans, we are often judgmental about the appearance of our admirers. A 5′ 11″ man with dark wavy hair wearing an Armani suit and an expensive Rolex is much more appealing than a man who’s 5′ 5″ with greasy unwashed hair and braces with a piece of broccoli stuck in them. Peacocks, too, make an important first impression for their potential mates. Male peacocks spread their tail feathers to impress the females, and the most beautiful peacock gets the girl!

 

Rule number two, a little bit of materialism does no harm. Admit it! You like it and you want to be around it more, so pay close attention to where he lives and his social patterns.

 

Rule number three, masculinity. I don’t know about you, but I prefer a strong, masculine man to a tender, feminine man. I want a man who dares to fight off other competitors. Kangaroos, too, box for love. The males punch each other in the face like professionals boxers, and once the loser is driven away the winner may pursue his love.

 

Rule number four, persistence….Wear it like a glove girls!  Sometimes we like to play hard-to-get. It’s our nature, we can’t help it! If bears can do it, so can you. A male bear follows his targeted female and tags along with her while she goes about her regular routines until she accepts him. Romantic tricks might also help. Humans like to engage in dancing, singing, and partying. Animals, too, have their mating calls and ritual dances.

 

Rule number five, a little FYI boys…we like gifts: jewelry, flowers, chocolates.  Regardless of when you find him just remember, love happens they say when you least expect it, so be prepared next time you run out in the rain to walk your dog, or drop a letter in the mail box for Mr Right to be right around the corner…it can happen to YOU!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maintaining Your Independence in a Relationship

How important is independence in a relationship? Do partners appreciate someone who is independent or would they prefer clingy? Think about it….In reality, a healthy relationship is made up of two mentally strong people. They each lead independent lives and have the desire and ability share their lives as well.

These are a few of the reasons why this balance of separateness and togetherness is important:

1. Independence makes the relationship more intellectually stimulating. If each party brings his or her individual interests to the table, they’ll have some fascinating and different subjects to talk about with one another.

• Perhaps he’s interested in kayaking and she’s intrigued with studying history. They can each engage their own pursuits fully, but also enjoy the other person’s passion.

2. You can depend on your partner for support when you need it. If each partner is independent, each one is comfortable depending on the other when the going gets tough or when life gets hectic. A relationship is, in essence, a partnership. Knowing you can count on the other person is wonderfully supportive.

• Having confidence that your partner can “be okay” without you while you’re at work or otherwise engaged relieves you of having to worry about how your partner will manage in challenging situations.
• Relationships do have an ebb and flow that requires that one partner lean on the other occasionally.

3. Two independent people in a relationship can mean a more balanced relationship. When you’re both independent, the relationship is healthier. Nobody is exclusively relegated to a specific role.

• When balance isn’t present, one partner might take the role of “the strong one” in the relationship while the other partner is consequently “the weak one.” Equilibrium in the relationship means no one partner is more or less powerful than the other.

4. Your relationship becomes stronger. When two independent people make a decision to have a relationship, their time with each other is more special and sacred. Even though a sense of independence is important for each partner, being willing to share with the other what you love to do is a great way to spend quality time together.

• Bringing independence to your relationship promises a deeper, more lasting partnership, since it’s built on acceptance of each other as a whole human being.

5. A sense of independence makes you more emotionally secure. This works for and benefits both partners.

• If a partner is emotionally secure, they’re not afraid to show their strength and their softer side at the same time.
• Each person’s sense of independence can help facilitate more openness and honesty in the partnership. No matter what you say or do, you know that your mate will ultimately be okay, since their independence already shows that they’re able to take care of themselves.
• When you come together at the end of the day, maybe one is tired or bored. The other can step in and revive the other or bring some ideas to the table.
• Neither partner will feel threatened by their mate’s autonomy and sense of personal strength and emotional security.

Partners in a relationship will enjoy a much deeper, longer lasting connection when they each have a sense of independence. Trust me ladies, you want to keep some sort of independence. You never know when the bottom may fall out and if and when it does, this will keep you in tune with reality and you’ll have your feet planted firmer on the ground than I did. Just always remember, you can take care of yourself if necessary, and most often, we prefer to carry our own weight in a relationship. Men don’t like clingy women who mooch. Just remember to always love yourself….and be TRUE TO YOU!!!!

Are You a Bad Girl?

There is something to be said about having fun…..Cyndi Lauper said it best……”Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” …A bad girl loves to have fun. She has the image of Rico Suave in the woman version. She is classy, but brassy, can stay out all night partying, drink herself into a stupor, and still get up the next day and be ready for round two. She’ll laugh and be flirtatious, and make men want more from her, turn them on without even trying, and oh yes she will tease!

  A bad girl is exciting, and if they want to see exciting, I think you owe it to yourself and to them to give them a “Bad Girl”…….So what are they defined as honestly? On the contrary to what some think, not only are they wicked sexy and bitchy…..Bad girls are walking adrenaline rushes! For her, life is a roller coaster ride, she loves the ups and the downs….and it’ll get your blood singing just to be along for the trip. Go bungee jumping, go on dangerous roller coasters, sky-dive; Just for the thrill of it all, why….they love to live life dangerously, and by the seat of their pants. I like to live with adventure and danger sometimes,…..by the seat of my pants, but I come prepared with life jacket.

  Clean yourself up and for God sakes…… turn on the hot girl magic! 

 Bad girls are definite knockouts. Bad girls are usually very eye-catching with jaw-dropping figures. That’s right, you know the ones,….where you have to tell your spouse or partner to pick his chin up because it hit the floor hard enough! These gals, you guessed it …..they are the basic “hot babes.” They know how to walk the walk and strut their stuff. They get off on being the center of attention! How so? They wear miniskirts, strapless tops, sandals, dark colors, skinny jeans, high-heels (stay away from clear, though, because clear high heels has slut written all over it…not to self, I never knew that…..) and stay far away from flats if you want to have the bad girl image. If you are taking your nieces and nephews to the park or gardening all day….then flats or sneakers are OK. A bad girl has to be sexy! She’ll throw party’s with men and have fun with them!!!

 Build your confidence and be sassy! 

 Above all, a bad girl knows that she’s hot and that she can do, say, and get anything that she wants. She is always in control and like me she has to have it her way or the highway! If you can appreciate your beauty and your personality, you’re already on the path to confidence. If you need a boost,….we’re relaunching our website for Simply Delicious Lingerie in 1 week and we have killer deals, and sexy clothes in every category. Check out our “$9.99 sale” tab where we have the latest in styles and fashions all for under ten bucks! We’re not just lingerie…..we have club wear, boots, heels from 3-6 inches and a selection that will go with everything! It’s sassy, seductive and just what the bad girl needs!

 Tell me something gals…..Have you had that feeling of denial when you found out that those guys weren’t talking about you, but rather your sexy friend? Didn’t it make you feel bad? I’ve been there…. Every woman’s been through it before. Those days are long over if you’re ready to revamp your style and turn every one’s heads. Where do you start? I’ll have an article on that shortly, so stay tuned!  No matter what your hair color, body shape, or eye color, you too can become sexier! Please though, just remember don’t ever try to change yourself and who you are for someone else. You need to be happy with you…that’s all that really matters. If other people don’t like it, tell them to kiss your ass. It’s SO not worth it, and they my friend, are not your friends at all nor might they be the man you want to involve yourself with! Unleash the bad girl in you!

Do You Still Get Butterflies?

Ahhhhhh the anticipation of seeing them, Yes, in all reality we’re all familiar with the feeling of butterflies in the stomach when starting dating a person who really excites us. Contrary to common belief, not only women experience this feeling of excitement,  men do too,…do they admit it? What do you think? Not often….It’s not something that only women have or something of which men should be embarrassed of. I find it intriguing that a man gets these feeling too. They can be quite difficult to read at times, nonetheless, I seek a romantic at heart. Often, it’s just getting him to unleash that bashful side a little and let his guard down. Guys always think that have to be tough, when in fact, I like a man who can lay his cars on the table, share with me his desires, and be blunt if need be. I get butterflies when I see a particular man, but he doesn’t know it. For me it’s not something I’ve experienced for a long time. The difference, however, is that men tend to keep their excitement for themselves whereas women simply radiate happiness. We glow! We yap, we laugh, we think too much….sometimes over analyzing things until they drive us nuts!

 The sign of happiness in men may be better hidden but with a bit of attention you can still notice. Look in his eyes…..you can usually tell what they are feeling to a certain degree. Read more about the new relationship rush and how your body reacts to your feelings towards a particular girl.Many women wonder whether men do feel butterflies from time to time. Since most men don’t really do a great job of express their feelings, many girlfriends (or girlfriends to be) are disappointed because they do not seem to get a clue of what their partner is feeling or whether they are as excited as they are because of the new relationship. But the fact that some men admit to feeling butterflies, allows us to generalize and say that man’s experience love in quite a similar manner, even though they pretend to be all macho about it.

 So, when experiencing the new love excitement, as a man, what is there to do? Hide it or enjoy it? If you ask me, the best is to enjoy this new relationship rush for as long as you can . But the truth is, after a while, it will fade away and you might feel sorry that you didn’t enjoy it. For many, dating is the best part of a relationship.The new girl, the new situations and mainly getting to know that person next to you in different types of situations makes relationships so much fun in the first place. Some men, on the other hand, might try to elongate the effects of the butterflies. Big mistake. Butterflies flutter around in you belly for only so long. With smaller fluttering comes a new stage in the relationship, supposedly already paved through from butterfly time experiences. Personally…..it’s exciting to know that even after a relationship develops a man or woman can still get butterflies….I find it quite emotional, not to mention with each individual we have eclectic tastes, so woo her/him and let nature take its course.

I’ve Got Crabs….

…..Crab Cakes that is…..Geez, get your mind out of the gutter and into the kitchen for some good cooking!

Crab Cakes are my favorite treat, not cheap, but then again, aren’t we worth what we put in our mouths?

I wanted to share this recipe because while most people are grilling out for the summer,  this is a dish you can grill indoors or outdoors and serve anytime of the year…I still find this recipe one of my favorites! Soooo YUMMY!

It’s easy to whip up, it’s tasty and mouth watering….

 An easy-to-fix coastal favorite in under 20 minutes!

Servings: 4 to 6 servings

Cook Time: 18 min

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells
1/3 cup crushed crackers (recommended: Ritz)
3 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
Dash cayenne pepper
Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup peanut oil
Favorite dipping sauce, for serving

Directions

 In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and peanut oil. Shape into patties and dust with flour.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with preferred sauce, and grab yourself a delicious bottle of wine.

 My suggestion of expertise:  Of the three Chardonnays offered by Patz & Hall (Mount Veeder, Russian River and Sunset Vineyard), the 2006 Mount Veeder Chardonnay may be the crab cakes’ best mate, with its tart apple aromatics, butterscotch and apple pie flavors and rich viscosity countered by an unexpected crisp finish. The other two would be close seconds – the Russian River with its tropical flavors balanced by a cool minerality and the Sunset Vineyard, characterized by delicate floral and spice aromas, yet tropical and custard-like flavors. Similar to the Patz & Hall selections, Chappallet’s 2008 Napa Valley Chardonnay finishes on a refreshing note – great with the crab cakes – but its profile consists of tangerine, pear and nutmeg aromatics with flavors of pineapple, lemon and oak spice.
