Trust has nothing to do with it. Credit can take years to repair and the damage is often emotionally and financially devastating. Even if you can't imagine being without him and feel your relationship is going to last forever, think of your financial goals ten years from now and the possibility that he may not be around. By protecting your credit you secure your own future and the stability of your relationship. Heed these financial mistakes that can lead to personal ruin at the end of a relationship:<br /><br /><strong>Leases/Mortgages</strong><br />Sure you love them, but don't be quick to sign a lease or secure a mortgage until you've discussed financially responsibility. The discussion should extend beyond whether your combined resources will cover the payments.<br /><br /><strong>Co-Signing</strong><br />Never co-sign on a loan with a term that is longer than you've been together or longer than you've known the person. You've been dating for a year, but who knows what may happen at the end of your 48 month loan term.<br /><br /><strong>Credit Cards</strong><br />Credit cards are like the drugs of personal finances. They are oh so tempting. After all, the credit is great and you only have to pay the minimum balance every month. It eventually catches up with you, though, and you have nothing to show for it. What the credit card companies don't tell you is that by paying only the minimum balance (even at a reasonable interest rate) it could take over 40 years to pay off.<br /><br /><strong>Joint Bank Accounts</strong><br />Share the household expenses, but keep separate personal bank accounts. Create a joint account where you both can deposit money for shared bills and incidentals. Come to a mutual agreement about the rules for use of the account.<br /><br /><strong>Bad Credit </strong><br />If you or he has bad credit make sure it's being actively repaired. Don't let the financial future of your partnership fall squarely on one person's shoulders. Should you distrust someone with bad credit? Not particularly. With the rising number of college grads leaving campus already in a credit hole, the "perfect" credit candidate pool is getting smaller and smaller. Also, people make mistakes and credit mistakes can take years (even decades) to repair. Bad credit isn't a plague that you should avoid. However, a person with bad credit and a nonchalant attitude is another story. Don't let him take you down by repeating the same mistakes over again. If you can't afford a purchase or a loan on your own, then don't co-sign or secure it in your name only.<br /><a href="http://www.creditrepair.com/lp/credit-personalized.html?tid=5057.400.ContentFixCredit&wm_lpID=6232656&wm_ctID=92&wm_kwID=4982537&wm_mtID=4&wm_content=1&wm_g_crID=2543464217&wm_g_kw=credit+fix&wm_g_pcmt=gaylife.about.com&wm_g_cnt=1&wm_defaultURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.creditrepair.com%2flp%2fcredit-personalized.html%3ftid%3d5057.400.ContentFixCredit&wm_kw=credit+fix"><strong>[Read More about Credit Repair]</strong></a><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://gaylife.about.com/od/gaysexadvice/a/creditrepair.htm">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-65589391178593106052008-12-15T10:14:00.001-08:002008-12-15T10:14:29.693-08:00How To Initiate SexWhen was the last time you surprised your man by seducing him? I bet it was that long a go that you can`t even remember. It is time to let your man know how much you still fancy him and how much you still want him. Take the lead for a change. This will not only drive him wild but will let you show him exactly what you want and get exactly what you want. Don`t worry if you are out of practice or have never initiated sex before because you can`t go wrong with these tips.<br /><br /><u>For the less confident</u><br /><br /><b>Show a bit leg</b><br /><br />You can initiate sex without having to say a word. Put on your best G-string, suspenders and stockings and you want have to do a thing. He will be jumping on you before you can whisper his name.<br /><b>Romance</b><br /><br />Cook him his favourite meal, light some candles, turn out the light and play your favourite songs. He won`t need to ask what`s for dessert.<br />Massage him<br /><br />Take the oils to bed and wait until he is relaxed and tell him you will give him a massage if he returns the favour. Rub the oil into the palm of your hands to warm it up the gently massage his back and shoulders working your way down his back to his buttocks and firmly squeeze them working your fingers through his legs and down his thighs but don`t touch his penis. Then whisper in his ear that you want him to do the same to you. Don`t bank on your massage getting finished.<br /><b>Playing games</b><br /><br />Playing games is a good way to initiate sex whether you are confident or not.<br /><u>For the more confident</u><br /><br /><b>Phone sex</b><br /><br />Phone him up at work and tell him what you want him to do to you and what you want you want to do to you. If you are at home you could get yourself aroused masturbating while you tell him what you are doing to yourself. The chances are he won`t be able to respond to you so will be wetting his trousers with excitement. This is the ultimate turn on for any man and will get him through even the hardest work day. He will be racing home to give you a helping hand.<br /><b>A few words</b><br /><br />Write him a short note telling him what you are going to do to him when he gets home, tell him what you will be wearing, what you want him to do to you, in explicit detail. Put the note in his brief case, lunch box he won`t be able to resist going to the toilet to read it in private.<br /><b>Dressing up</b><br /><br />Buy some sexy new lingerie, a maids outfit, dress as a school girl take the lead and ad some spice this will not only make you feel more confident and sexy but it will make your partner look at you through different eyes.<br /><b>Play time</b><br /><br />Time to invest in some sexy toys. Buy a vibrator and leave it on your bed in a gift wrapped box with a bow round it and tell him to go to bed and you will follow him up. Hopefully by the time you get in he will be wearing nothing but a big smile waving the vibrator. Buy some hand cuffs and you go to bed first. Cuff yourself to the bed and lie naked waiting for him to come in this will turn him on to the point where it will be hard for home to contain himself. To soften the room and hide the parts of your body you don`t want him to see light some tea candles.Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-55342368398862818372008-12-15T10:12:00.000-08:002008-12-15T10:13:02.472-08:00How To Talk Dirty<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swordfish7/1003015571/" title="Red sheets by Swordfish7, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1107/1003015571_326feddbf2.jpg" width="400" height="302" alt="Red sheets" /></a><br /><br />"Actions speak louder than words" is a good saying but sometimes is not enough. Especially in the bedroom. Talking dirty with your partner is not only a turn on but is the only way of leting them know what you want sexually. But - this is easier said then done. Talking dirty is not about what you see on porn films. The corniness, the swearing, but about feeling loved, sexy, wanted. Follow these and you won`t know why you ever doubted yourself.<br /><br /><b>"I really liked that"</b><br />To get use to talking about sex the best time is after you have had sex. Why after sex you might ask. Well you have just had sex so you have something dirty to talk about. For example, "I loved the way you were kissing me while`st your penis was inside me." (You can call his bits what ever you feel comfortable with.) This is not only complimentaing him but it is telling him what you like and is guarenteed a second round of sex.<br /><br /><b>"Talk dirty to me"</b><br />While having sex ask him to talk dirty to you. This will suprise him in a pleasant way and if he is a bit shy or doesn`t know how to then this is your cue to talk dirty to him. On the other hand if he does talk dirty and you like what he is saying follow suit and talk back to him telling him what you like and what you want him to do to you.<br /><br /><b>Use your hands</b><br />When sitting together at dinner perhaps, stroke his leg and tell him what you would like him to do to you or what you would like to do to him. This works best when you are eating out, because he will have to wait to get you home to get to business.<br /><br /><b>Give him a call</b><br />Phone your guy up and tell him waht you want to do to him and the other way round. Phone him during office hours say just after lunch. He will be sweating in his pants and will have him on a high all day.<br /><br /><b>A short note</b><br />If you are still not confident enough to talk dirty to him then write him a short note telling him what you want. In a letter you can be as explicit as you like and can write the way you know he would like to hear it.Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-37716714974887233192008-12-10T21:39:00.001-08:002008-12-10T21:39:51.723-08:00Lover's Corner<p align="center"><a title="sex_positions_missionary_position by shyznogud2, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23576196@N04/2300044370/"><img height="375" alt="sex_positions_missionary_position" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2070/2300044370_5a4b1ef6b7.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><p><strong></strong>-Ms.Divine</p><p>Although, the picture doesn't give you a visual (which I did on purpose) I chose this article for you to use your imagination. Why? Because that is what many relationships lack or how Sponge Bob says Immmmaginnnation...It's important whether man or woman to continue to perform and spoil your mate throughout the relationship as you did when you first captured their heart. It's been said that when you get married your well runs dry. Why? Well I figure bills,children and other responsibilities keep you occupied. But kick back and relax! Get your groove back!! Enjoy!<br /><strong>EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:</strong><br />Your partner slouches down in a comfy but sturdy chair, his legs slightly spread. You straddle his lap as you face him, your knees bent and open against his chest, your feet braced against the seat of the chair. While your guy grips your hips, thighs, or butt, you clutch the back of the chair and begin moving up and down along his shaft.<br /><br /><br /><strong>WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:</strong><br />With your knees bent and your hands and feet using the chair as a springboard, it's the bounciest nooky style ever — perfect for teasing your guy with fast up-and-down action, then shifting gears and going for wide circular motions. Plus, your bodies are close enough for the intimacy of kissing, touching, or just giving each other incredibly lusty looks.<br />The slicker, the better as you ride this wanton wave. Before you start bonking his buoy, grab a little extra lube to keep things extra wet. Heat things up more by putting your motion lotion on each other — the feel of your hands sliding against his most sensitive spots will definitely get him in the mood.<br /><br /><br /></p><div align="right"><a href="http://honeymoons.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=honeymoons&cdn=travel&tm=14&gps=178_262_1276_607&f=10&tt=14&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//magazines.ivillage.com/cosmopolitan/sex/no/articles/0%2C%2C544153_633458%2C00.html">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-87588730559769456262008-12-08T10:07:00.000-08:002008-12-08T10:09:13.849-08:00How To Create A Romantic Evening For Two<em>-Ms.Divine</em><br /><em>Valentines Day is drawing near!

What kind of food or activity does your significant other like? Would it be better for you to cook or treat yourselves to a romantic restaurant? A night of dancing or a carriage ride in the park? Plan an activity that will be appreciated and unique.<br />Step2Have more than one act to your romantic evening. After you see a show, enjoy a special dessert at a favorite restaurant. After dinner, have a limo waiting to transport you to a lovers' rendezvous. With each additional act of your evening, your lover will be more impressed and enamored.<br /><br />Step3<br />Personalize everything you can. If there is a particular <a class="iAs" style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal! important; FONT-SIZE: 100%! important; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px! important; COLOR: darkgreen! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: darkgreen 0.07em solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent! important; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2004331_create-romantic-evening.html#" target="_blank" itxtdid="6946755">meal</a> that is meaningful to your relationship, make it.

The less eloquent among us are better off using others’ words when our own fail or feel inadequate.<br /><br />Step5<br />End with a bang. Save your biggest and most romantic gesture for the very last part of the night. The evening should rise in a crescendo, building with each stage to the final grand climax.<br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2004331_create-romantic-evening.html"><em>Source[..]</em></a></div><br /><br /><center></center><center></center><center><center></center></center>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-69369176049654621312008-12-02T12:25:00.000-08:002008-12-02T12:31:41.725-08:00Benefits of Saving Sex Until Your Married<p align="center"><a title="Day 119: Sex and the City by That Damn Redhead, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thatdamnredhead/2570176180/"><img height="333" alt="Day 119: Sex and the City" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3046/2570176180_6cab8d2e86.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><br />Everyone has their own reason for waiting.

They want their girlfriends to be smart, witty and sensible as well. So girls other than improving your physical appearance its time to work on your intellectual side as well. Go ahead and check out few of the cheesiest and smart ideas to deck up and groom yourselves for the guy of your dreams.<br /><br /><br />You should know your choice regarding a boyfriend and accordingly make a list of qualities and attributes you would like to see in him. You can consider the qualities like; he should be soft spoken, respectful, smart and witty.<br /><br /><br />One important aspect in getting you a boyfriend is to make loads of friends and expand your friend circle. It's safe to get a boyfriend from within the friend circle and you can't find the right guy until you make new friends. In fact knowing new people helps to expand ones arena of knowledge.<br /><br />If you start liking some guy having the required qualities then try to make friends with him and relate to his interests. Talk to him about his ambitions and his career and take interest in his favorite sport. Discuss the intellectual and knowledgeable issues related to the topics of his interest to make him feel special and important. Incase you don't have the nerves to approach him directly, approach him through a common friend. But never give him a hint that his refusal can break your heart.<br /><br />Despite all these empirical proposals you may fall in love with a totally different person and not some one you aspired to be with. Be open to such circumstances. Despite different love tests and compatibility tests it's said that love comes in different shapes and sizes, you just need to locate the right person and the desire to stay together can even make the worst enemies become the best lovers.<br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.mydearvalentine.com/boyfriend/how-to-get-boyfriend.html">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-5151884189435701762008-11-29T14:23:00.000-08:002008-11-29T14:37:03.542-08:00Body Language: Attraction<a title="Day 100 : Shy by Alexis Deadly, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexisdeadly/2744864581/"><img height="500" alt="Day 100 : Shy" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3235/2744864581_a24bb3b7ef.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br />Why don’t you use this art to select a perfect valentine so that your valentine gift idea doesn’t go waste that you have been working on for since long time.

As always read and enjoy!</em><br /><br /><strong>The Ultimate NO NO</strong><br /><em>Do not give out to much information!</em><br />If you were a stripper in highschool..to some men or women that wouldn't be appealing and also raise <em>other</em> questions.<br /><em>Do not seem desperate!</em><br />It is not advisable to express how your past relationships didn't work out and so now you want to marry and have a child with the first man or woman you meet because you feel it's too late.<br /><em>Leave your sexual lifestyle to their imagination!</em><br />Telling a potential date that you can do this and that..and rock their socks off says alot about your character.<br /><em>Listen!</em><br />It is most important to listen to what he/she is saying, just in case you might have missed the part that have a problem with rejection, recently was admitted or has some sort of drug problem<br /><br />For some, flirting is an art and for some it is a way of life. But the main objective of flirting is to find someone compatible enough to be your soulmate and life partner. Flirting is the only way to get started in a romantic relationship at a place like dance party or a company get together. You may even not see that person ever again who you may have flirted with. Many people are not easy with the thought of flirting, they rather get nervous. Therefore, it is said to be an art. But this art and skill can be learnt. Some useful tips are below:<br /><br /><br /><strong>1. Don’t Expect Much:</strong><br />If you want to enjoy flirting then don’t get serious with it. You may have to spend very small time with that person and it may be the last time also. Don’t approach anybody with the intention of dating or getting married. If you do this, you may be disappointed at last. Flirt just to have fun.<br /><br /><strong>2. Don’t Look Reserve:</strong><br />You need to look approachable. Don’t make any kind of boundaries around you. Look relaxed and confident. Your body language should be such that people find you a fun loving and jolly fellow.<br /><br /><strong>3. Read Other Person’s Signs:</strong><br />To know if he or she is interested in you, if he or she is approachable, you need to read his or her body language. The signals given through the body language are the most important to begin a relationship. At the same time, body language signals should not be misread because they may lead you in uncomfortable position too.<br /><br /><strong>4. Eye Contact is Imperative:</strong><br />Make eye contacts but not for more than a second or two. Staring is strictly prohibited. Just throw the person a prompt gaze, smile with your eyes, and then slowly look other way. If you look back to that person and notice that he or she is also looking at you it might be an indication that he or she is interested in flirting a bit.<br /><br /><strong>5. Begin a Conversation:</strong><br />Find a suitable topic to begin a conversation. You can begin with something which can be replied in yes or no, for example: “Nice weather, Isn’t it?”. The only objective of yours is to engage him or her in talking with you, what he or she replies does not matter. If that person replies to your question in a pleasant manner, continue. If you don’t get a reply or the person is indifferent or preoccupied, he or she may not be interested in flirting with you. In the beginning you needn’t talk much about the personal things but about atmosphere, movies, people etc.<br /><br /><strong>6. Exchange the information about each other:</strong><br />If your initial conversation has begun on good note, then you may share some more things about each other in reciprocal manner. You may introduce each other by asking names and other small details. You are needed to open up gradually with each other. If you take any topic, you need to give your own supplements if you have something similar with him of her. For example, if you're talking to a girl who says she's taking painting classes, you might tell her that you are also taking painting classes, and then proceed to tell her which style excites you mate.<br /><br /><strong>7. Give the person utmost attention:</strong><br />You need to listen and reply attentively to that person. You should be able to show that you find him or her most interesting fellow around. It is said that being a good listener is far more important than being intelligent and witty. Beginning with these steps you may show romantic intentions to that person and if you find him or her accepting, honoring and complimenting your feelings, you can move forward. On the contrary, if you don’t find that person interested you may close the deal and get a new person for the same. But you have to flirt with fun, that’s the essence.<br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.mydearvalentine.com/how-to-flirt.html">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-3553027562359331732008-11-29T13:37:00.000-08:002008-11-29T13:44:52.106-08:007 Tips to Strengthen Your Relationship<p align="center"><a title="Temptation by ¤ Underworld ¤, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/x70061x/2824095525/"><img height="334" alt="Temptation" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2824095525_871b2b4c75.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><br /><br /><p><br />With the divorce rate about 50%, a successful marriage is a true achievement in today's world.

Regardless, make the moment a memorable!</em> </p><p align="left">Relax...Breathe and go for it mister!</p><p align="left">Most of us have a hard time proposing to that special someone. There are several things you need to keep in mind such as where to propose, how or in what way to propose, what you would talk about and the biggest fear what if you get rejected? Read on to discover some of the most effective ways and tips on proposing to that special someone-</p><p align="left">Step 1 (Preparation)- </p><p align="left"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Ok</span> so since you've decided you are finally going to propose to that special someone you need to prepare a plan of action and how you would go about doing it. You need to mentally prepare yourself more than just physically. Prepare a list of what her likes and dislikes are and do everything right to make that perfect moment to ask her out.</p><p align="left">Step 2 (Be your best)- </p><p align="left">Present yourself as your best self. Be very well groomed and keep a healthy smile on your face at all time and emit a positive vibe. The more positive you look the more the chances are that you would get a yes response.</p><p align="left">Step 3 (Surprise her)-</p><p align="left"> This is the most vital step of them all. Do whatever it takes to make it the best day of her life. Do everything that she likes, take her to all the places she always wanted to go, give her presents which she normally <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">wouldn</span>’t expect, take her to the best restaurant and order whatever she likes, try to make it the perfect moment and set the perfect stage for proposing to her.</p><p align="left">Step 4 (Timing)-</p><p align="left">This decides when you would ask her the main question. You would get several moments in the whole conversation to propose her but remember the moment should be perfect and she should in the right moods that's why it's all about the perfect timing. You certainly do not want to catch her in the wrong moods as it can lead to rejection as well.<br /></p><p align="left">Step 5 (Pour your heart out)-</p><p align="left"> When you feel your action plan is working and you have succeeded in doing what’s mentioned in the above steps and found that right moment to propose, just simply pour your heart out. Say whatever you have in your heart. Normally females find it very hard to say no when a person has done so much for them and truly likes them. Remember it <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">shouldn</span>’t be a dry talk rather tell her the way you actually feel about her with emotion. Females have a very hard time rejecting someone when the emotions and feelings are true.</p><p align="right"><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Propose-And-Get-A-Yes-Response---Achieve-Amazing-Results&id=674702">Source[..]</a></p>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-13130881083916465552008-11-27T08:32:00.000-08:002008-11-27T08:50:32.549-08:00How To Keep a Healthy and Romanic Relationship<p align="center"><a title="700 Field Rings Closeup by jonSpot, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonathanm71/2887781875/"><img height="500" alt="700 Field Rings Closeup" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2887781875_3d9abdd058.jpg" width="333" /></a></p>By:Francis K Githinji<br />Healthy and romantic relationships are such a nightmare to many relationships. Marriage is one thing and a healthy and romantic relationship is another thing. Gone are the days when marriage used to be a matter of trend and tradition, when a grown up was bound by religious and traditional obligations to marry. It's no longer a tradition but a matter of choice. Once a person reaches maturity, the desire to engage in a relationship keeps on steering the inner being and getting married is the next thing that keeps on lingering once mind. In order to keep a relationship healthy and romantic you must be ready to struggle and build a strong foundation to make it firm. I wonder why marriage breakage are so often and the sanctity of marriage no longer holds? Could it be that there is no firm foundation of marriage rooted in love and romance? Before engaging in marriage, one must learn how to keep a healthy and strong relationship.<br /><br />Marriage is the only ideal institution where children can grow and develop a strong foundation for their future life. A child behavior is always determined by his/her source root or background. I agree with the fact that a healthy and romantic relationship is the key to a successful marriage, a successful marriage therefore has an impact on the growth and development of children. I would advise couples who are in a relationship to keep the fire of romance in their relationship burning and to develop a strong and healthy relationship for the sake of the children and there sound development.<br /><br />There are some essential steps that helps couples to keep a relationship healthy and romantic. Remember that your partner is part and parcel of your life, stick to the truth and be trustworthy to your partner. In addition, you must learn to do things together and to make decisions in the consent of one another. Let the force that attracted you to your partner remain forever green and let no one despise your relationship. Keep off from unhealthy conversations that may lead to disagreements and misunderstanding between you and your partner. Learn how to keep a relationship healthy and romantic.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-71191413870018670052008-11-25T13:39:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:46:52.060-08:00Tips For Planning For Your Honey Moon<p align="center"><a title="Oh! my love` kiss me even more.... by mis peaches`, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mis_peaches/2738873768/"><img height="334" alt="Oh! my love` kiss me even more...." src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3128/2738873768_bfd4d79761.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><br />By:Jeremy Low<br />Plan ahead of time Preparation should begin early. If you want to go to a honeymoon trip after the wedding celebration, then you should have already prepared for it long before the wedding day. Meanwhile if you will go to a honeymoon trip weeks after your wedding day, it is not an excuse to plan late. Preparing for the wedding day is also not an excuse to plan after the wedding. Everything should be prepared. Make sure you have already determined or have booked and made reservation on the location of your trip.<br /><br />Create a checklist of everything<br /><br />If the schedule is hectic and there is so much to do, you surely would forget some important things. Do avoid this from happening; create a checklist of everything you need to prepare. This does not only go with the honeymoon trip; it should also apply to the whole wedding preparation itself.<br /><br />Finalize your travel documents<br /><br />Make sure that your travel documents are all set before your honeymoon trip. Doing this early would save you a lot of trouble when the day closes near. If you are traveling outside the country, if is advisable to complete all your travel documents and keep them in a safe place.Confirm your booking and reservationBooking your flight and accommodation is not enough. You should confirm them days before you go. Making sure that everything is set and prepared once you arrive should be your primary concern.Relax After youre stressful wedding preparation, you surely would not want to add pressure on your head. Keep in mind that one reason why you are going for a honeymoon trip is to relax, so you should relax. There is no reason why you should make the preparation for your honeymoon trip troublesome. Wedding preparation is stressful enough. You should not add some more.<br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.4free-articles.com/">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-78046674974896942422008-11-25T08:13:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:21:53.412-08:00Personalize your table decor<p align="center"><a title="Candles by K Fogle Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfogle_photography/3003671583/"><img height="500" alt="Candles" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3009/3003671583_7b632e596b.jpg" width="333" /></a></p>-Ms.Divine<br /><em>What is more exciting than decorating for a special event. I will find tons of tips,tricks and ideas to give that personalized touch!</em><br /><br />By:<a href="http://www.advicenetwork.com/vendor_listing_article.php?vid=555">Cait Lynn</a><br />In the past, expensive floral centerpieces were common at most wedding receptions. Today, more brides are finding inexpensive, creative ways to "customize" their wedding receptions without spending a lot of money.Here are some great centerpiece suggestions. The prices quoted are from Michael's Arts and Crafts, unless otherwise noted.<br /><strong>Candles -</strong><br />Arranging candles of different heights on a small mirror in the center of the table can be quite dramatic. The prices range from $1.00 to $3.00 for 3x3, 3x6, and 3x9 inch candles. Candles can also be placed inside 4" bubble/ivy/diamond ivy cut/swirl ivy glass bowls at $1.00 each. Floating candles are very romantic. A 10" bowl will cost you $7.99 and the candles range from .99 to $1.79.<br /><strong>Flower pots -</strong><br />A crafty friend or bridesmaid can purchase 3" clay pots at .69 each, and paint them an elegant white or the colors of the wedding. The bride and groom's name and wedding date can also be added. Plant ivy in the pots, and you have an affordable centerpiece and a memorable wedding favor.<br /><strong>Picture frames -</strong><br />You can place a grouping of your favorite pictures of the bride and groom on the table as centerpieces. Or, you can choose to have parents, family, and friends put framed pictures of their weddings on the table.<br /><strong>Paper and pen -</strong><br />Put pens and decorated pieces of paper that say, "My Favorite Part of Your Wedding Was…" near each setting. Collect the papers, and assemble them in a book you can read on your honeymoon, or read out loud at the reception.<br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.advicenetwork.com/article/2008/06/05/543-Save-Money-on-Your-Wedding-Table-Centerpieces/">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-6971474195037231292008-11-25T08:07:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:08:37.739-08:00Save more on table decor for holiday's and events<p align="center"><a title="Table set up -red white and gold by royalmice, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/royalcliff/2069800873/"><img height="375" alt="Table set up -red white and gold" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2107/2069800873_2fbf60cb6e.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><p align="left"><strong>Why Ready-made Slipcovers?</strong> </p><p align="left">Custom slip covers offer great fit, but they take weeks to make and cost hundreds of dollars in fabric and labor.

They need to know they are appreciated.<br /><em>Tips & Suggestions:</em><br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/difficultissues/a/nastyhabits.htm">Nasty Habits Can Hurt Your Marriage</a><br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/cs/qt.htm">More Marriage Quick Tips</a><br /><br />2.<strong> Not Listening to Your Spouse</strong><br />This includes allowing your mind to wander, paying more attention to the computer or television set, ignoring body language, and interrupting.<br /><em>Tips & Suggestions:</em><br />Listening <a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/nonverbal/NonVerbal_Communication.htm">Non Verbal<br />Communication Tips </a><br /><em></em><br />3. <strong>Lack of Sexual Intimacy</strong><br />This is a death knell for a marriage. Seek medical counsel and therapeutic counseling if necessary. Don't leave your spouse wondering why you aren't interested in sex. <br /><em>Tips & Suggestions:</em><br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/intimacy/Intimacy.htm">Intimacy </a> <a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/se1/Sexual_Issues.htm">Sexual Issues & Problems </a><br /><br />4. <strong>Always Having to Be Right</strong><br />This includes lecturing your mate, or having to have the last word. Very few people can love a know-it-all forever. Admit once in awhile that you made a mistake or that you don't have all the answers. Don't answer every simple question with a long-winded explanation on the topic.<br /><br /><em>When was the last time you or your spouse said or heard any of these statements?</em><br />I love you!<br />Remember when....<br />You are so clever!<br />I'm proud of you.<br />You are so special to me.<br /><br />5. <strong>Not Walking the Talk</strong><br />Actions do speak louder than words. When you say you'll do something, do it. When you say you won't do something, follow through.<br /><em>Tips & Suggestions:</em><br /><a class="al" href="http://marriage.about.com/od/keysforsuccess/a/greatspouse.htm" zt="18/1R4/Wa">So You Want to Be a Great Spouse</a><br /><br />6. <strong>Hurtful Teasing</strong><br />If your spouse says the teasing is hurtful, considers it a put down, or thinks that it is inappropriate, then stop it. Claiming that your spouse doesn't have a sense of humor or is too sensitive is being inconsiderate and unkind.<br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/cs/humor/a/teasingstop.htm">[Read More]</a><br /><br />7. <strong>Dishonesty</strong><br />Having lies and secrets in your relationship can create distance and lack of trust<br /> between the two of you.<br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/trustissues/a/garbagedump2.htm">[Read More]</a><br /><br />8. <strong>Being Annoying</strong><br />This includes continuing to have gross personal hygiene habits, or always being late, or nitpicking everything your spouse does, etc. It is when you know you are annoying and you continue to annoy.<br /><a class="al" href="http://marriage.about.com/cs/conflictandanger/ht/fightfair.htm" zt="18/1R4/Wa">How to Fight Fairly</a><br /><br />9. <strong>Being Selfish or Greedy</strong><br />This is when you spend money on yourself, but make a big deal if your spouse spends a dime. This is not wanting to open your home to friends and family because you prefer to be alone and don't want the hassle of entertaining. This is hogging the remote, only going to cheap restaurants when you could afford better, or not watching movies your spouse wants to see.<br /><br />10. <strong>Having Temper Tantrums</strong><br />Every couple needs to be able to handle conflict in a constructive way. Having an angry outburst so that you can win an argument will make you the loser in the end.<br /><em>Tips & Suggestions:</em><br /><a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/conflictandanger/Deal_With_Conflict.htm">Conflict and Anger</a> <a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/lettinggo/Letting_Go.htm">Letting Go<br />How to Forgive Your Spouse</a><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://marriage.about.com/od/problemsinmarriage/What_to_Do_When_There_are_Problems_in_Your_Marriage.htm">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-31648026651091431502008-11-24T05:25:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:56:54.429-08:00Momma's Boys 6 Red Flags-Ms.Divine<br /><br /><em>Here we go another subject they may seem small to others but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> a barrier hard to break.

You think forever is a long time<br /><br />The thought of eternal togetherness makes you look at the concept of time in a whole different way. If it’s a life-long commitment you or your partner wants, you have to be able to visualize the future and the rest of your life together<br /><br />2. You fear giving up your freedom<br /><br />Single people value their freedom, and for many, especially for those who have been single for such a long time, a committed relationship threatens that freedom. Having to answer to another person might not sound that appealing because every decision you make will have to be with your partner in mind, and that seems stifling to many. However, making decisions for your partnership is what love and commitment is all about, and if you’re not willing to forgo a little bit of freedom, then you’re not ready for commitment.<br /><br />3. Your other priorities are more important<br /><br />Committing yourself to somebody in mind, body and soul just sounds like too much effort and pressure for you. It might feel like you have to put everything else aside. But maybe your other priorities in life just can’t be put on hold. If your priorities are time-consuming.<br /><br />4. You fear betrayal<br /><br />You’re never more vulnerable than you are when you’re in a committed relationship, especially marraige. Your vows represent your commitment to one another, but unfortunately these promises aren’t necessarily guarantees. When you fully give yourself to someone, you’re taking on the possibility that your partner may let you down, and that’s a terrifying prospect.<br /><br />5. You’re just not ready for it<br /><br />There’s nothing wrong with not being ready for a commitment to someone. Sometimes it’s your circumstances, state of mind, age, other priorities, or all of these factors combined. Maybe you don’t think you’re worthy or capable of being one half of a successful relationship.<br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.lifescript.com/Life/Relationships/Hang-ups/5_Reasons_You_Have_Commitment_Issues.aspx">Source[..]</a></div>Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579188901713125279.post-24038742475822042862008-11-22T20:35:00.000-08:002008-11-22T20:43:35.140-08:00Are You Over Your Ex?<em>-Ms.Divine</em><br /><em>Now ladies and gentlemen this is a topic that none of us want to admit to nor face. I personally do not have this problem. But, I do have a friend that fights this everyday. They live in the same city and it seems like she picks up the phone to express what it does to her every time they see each other. She is married and he is a bachelor. This I'm sure can be very confusing and heartbreaking considering the circumstances of how you all broke up in the first place. As always Ms.Divine expresses not only her thoughts but gives our readers thoughts from another. Stay tuned..Soon we will have open our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">chat room</span> for discussion on "Throw it at me Thursday's"</em><br /><br /><br />By: <a href="http://www.lifescript.com/Life/Relationships/Wreckage/Are_You_Over_Your_Ex.aspx">Carly Young</a><br />Letting go of an old relationship and truly getting over your ex can be one of the biggest challenges life has to offer. Only time, forgiveness and soul-searching can help you to move on and put the pain behind you. But even if months or years have passed, part of you may still be hanging onto your ex or the memories of the relationship. You may still want to get back together after all this time or you may find yourself consumed with rage when you remember the abominable way you were treated. Oftentimes, feelings of longing for you ex manifest themselves in subtle ways that affect your daily life in more ways than you may realize. So how do you know if you’re truly over your ex? Read on to find out. Plus, see what others are saying...<br /><br />What Happens When You Visit Your Old Haunts?<br /><br />There may be places all over your town that remind you of your former lover. For example, if you and your ex loved to spend Saturday mornings at the independent coffee shop down the street, you may think of him every time you drive by. Or, if your first kiss was at an amusement park, you may think nostalgically about the relationship every time you return for a visit. Thinking about your ex occasionally <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">isn</span>’t necessarily bad. After all, if you really loved someone then you can’t just expect to erase him completely from your memory.Spice Avenuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211446674571245768noreply@blogger.com
