Makeovers: Should You Undergo One?

Published by under Beauty

Are you a woman who has thought about changing your appearance?  For many women, thinking is all that they do.

Published by under Family, Pregnancy

Are you a woman who is currently unsure as to whether or not you are ready for parenthood?  If that is the case, are you currently sexually active?  If you are, are you using any form of birth control?  Parenting and pregnancy are all important issues, ones that are difficult to back down from. For that reason, if you are not looking to become a mother just yet, it is important that you take the time to familiarize yourself with all of your birth control options.

Blind Date vs Internet Date

Published by under Dating, Relationships

Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life so she sets you up with a blind date….a friend of a friend of a friend. You, foolishly, accept. Now there you are. It’s less than one hour since you were introduced. You are sitting in a Thai restaurant and you hate Thai food. The entrée has not yet been served. His idea of enlightened conversation is who will be in the final four…you aren’t into sports. He knows the weekly TV schedule verbatim….you haven’t sat through a movie in months because you run marathons and volunteer at the local food bank. He says, “Volunteering is a waste of time because you can’t help ‘those people’ anyway.” You look at your watch; see that it’s only been 10 minutes since you last looked at it the last time and wonder how long it is before you can gracefully remove yourself from the situation.
