On Friends:
Do you know who your closest friend is? If you don't, it's time to find her.
Maybe you've known her all along. Maybe its an acquaintance who you haven't really reached out to.
Find her. Cherish her. Take care of her and she will take care of you.
Every woman needs a close friend.
I've been with and without and let me tell you - I am not a happy girl when I am without.
On Guilty Pleasures:
Don't deprive yourself. Don't feel guilty when you eat something delicious.
The many different flavors in our food are each gifts from our creator.
If you worked hard to create a gift for someone would you want them to feel guilty whenever they enjoyed it?
There is no such thing as food that is bad or food that is good.
It is whether or not we choose to listen to our bodies that creates problems.
If you body is hungry, feed it. Give it what it asks for.
If you aren't hungry, don't eat. Your body doesn't need it.
And your body, ever the survivor, will put it away for a rainy day.
Stop depriving yourself and listen to what your body asks for.
After a while you will start to see that you have tricked yourself.
Sometimes the body asks for sweets and fats, yes.
But more often, when you really listen, it asks for vegetables, fruits, proteins.
You just have to learn to listen to it.
On Feminine Wiles:
Men love us because we are feminine.
In decades past mothers used to teach their daughters how to be feminine.
How to be demure.
How to make a man feel like a man, just by acting more like a woman.
In this day and age feminine wiles have become something of a lost art.
However, I do think most of us have an idea of how to imitate that behavior.
Its hardly instinctual, but remember when you were first dating your husband?
Remember how you acted then? Ever polite. Sweet. Affectionate.
Remember how hard you tried to look nice for him?
Those things attracted him enough to pursue you. Don't lose sight of them.
Otherwise he may lose sight of what it was that attracted him so much to you.
On Pouting:
When you make a pouty face, its almost impossible to let go of a bad feeling.
Smile instead. Sure its fake.
But smiling actually triggers the release of feel good hormones.
A recent study found that women are more attracted to men who appear to be sad and brooding.
Conversely, men were unattracted to brooding women, but very attracted to big happy smiles.
Another reason to give up the pout and start smiling.
Well thats it for today ladies. Hope you've enjoyed my wisdom.
