Raw Journalism

We all know how important it is to remove every trace of make up from our faces before going to bed, but did you know that you can extend that level of cleanness all night long with one simple action?

All you have to do is change your pillow slip or case each night, I know it may seem like an unwanted task but if you really think about all the bodily functions that occur in the night you’ll probably do it without question!

Most of us tend to wash our hair in the morning, therefore the average person will have a build up of hair products and dirt, the majority of us cough, sneeze or dribble in our sleep, nothing to be proud of I know but it happens!

If you suffer from acne this simple method will probably be of some assistance to you as well. If you have a lavender plant at home you can also put a fresh flower in your pillow slip or case, which will help you relax into a deeper sleep!

Change those pillow slips or cases every night before you put your pretty little head to rest!

Well ladies and gents here is the content of a really funny email my husband received the other day! I have no idea as to the source of the joke but it’s worth reading and in my own wee mind if re-incarnation is possible I definitely want to come back as a MAN!

Relationships can be alot of hard work at the best of times, this almost allows one to forget the stresses and have a good laugh!

Here it is:

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:

Men Are Just Happier People– What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You’re unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes — one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can ‘do’ your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier

There are times in our lives when there never seems to be a way to heal our problems or to advance to the next level. Life at times can just become overwhelming regardless of the event. In fact what bothers one person seems trivial to another. One thing you can do to ensure a cheery day is to think of one thing that makes you smile, you know the smile I’m talking about; “the one that makes people wonder what you are up to!”

It can be as small as a funny thing your child did, something a friend said, a TV program, a Utube Vid or a plain and simple funny joke! You’ll be surprised at the difference this can make to your entire day.

So matter how grim your situation is at the moment, find or think of anything that makes you smile!

This Is What Made Me Smile Today:

My 4 year old son told me that “I was his only mum” and “he loved me the best!” Well to be honest I think I nearly cried! But I’m sure you get the gist of the exercise and I think that comment will make me smile for the whole year!

Care to share “What Makes You Smile?” if so please leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Dating and Divorcing are equally scary on their own, let alone having to attempt one after the other! I have two very close friends of mine, actually I know a few more people than that, but a number of similarities have occurred with them all as they returned to the dating scene. As I am not divorced all I can do is imagine the situation or look at it with an objective view. On the other hand my heart has been broken and I’ve returned the favor and broken a few more. It is not my intention to upset anyone just to give my feedback on what I have seen and experienced in my own life. Hopefully these tips will be of some use to you or a friend you know!

Talking Continuously About Your Ex Husband Or Wife.

This is what you have your friends for, its probably not a conversation to have with a potential soul mate. Talking about negative or positive occurrences regarding your Ex is probably going to show your date that you don’t really care about him or her and that your still in love with you’re Ex whether you care to admit it or not. If this happens or has happened to you, maybe your not ready for the dating scene, you could have a lot of healing to undergo, a relationship expert maybe someone you can speak to. A professional in this area could help you prepare for a new relationship.

Sleeping With Your Date On The First Night

No one is calling any one names around here, but have some decency and respect yourself, you are probably a really great person, I don’t even know you but I bet you have loads of good qualities to share and offer anyone in your surroundings. Don’t give it up on the first go!

Going home with someone after having a few too many drinks

Typically the same as above but this one has a dangerous side to it. Under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, whatever the case maybe, we are certainly not coherent of our surroundings. Sometimes we fail to get one foot in front of the other eventually stumbling to the floor with the results of a bruise or two. What if you can’t get one foot in front of the other if you happen to go home with wrong person from a pub or bar? Its frightening but it happens. Keeping safe while you are out applies to everyone divorced, dating, single or not. If you go out with a group of friends make sure everyone leaves together!

Introducing your Date to your children on the first night.

Your children will be suffering just as much as you. For a child to accept and understand a new person in Mum or Dad’s life will be difficult. Give yourself time as well to make sure you and your new friend have the potential for long term love. After a while if you feel you really have a connection with this new person you should probably talk to your children first, and gage their reaction, then discuss this with your new partner. This will allow you to arm yourself with the best resources.

Personal Items Of Your Ex In Your Bedroom

HHHHHmmmmmm! Well I’m not saying that you need to destroy every last memory of your Ex but leaving items like photos and jewelery next to your pillow might not be the best idea. Instead you might be better to put the items in a more private place, if there are children involved then a photo of mum or dad next to their bed is more appropriate but not yours! If you are on your own it may also be a good time to clear out your Ex’s belongings.

In Your Heart Expecting This Person To Be Like Your Ex

You now have an Ex for a reason. This person and everything about him or her is no longer apart of your life, unless children are involved of course, then you will have to maintain a civil relationship but romantically with this person, this part of your life has finished. As hard as this maybe for you to cope with, you need to know that you have many more things to look forward too in your life and it is time to let go. Honestly this new person is never going to be exactly like your Ex and with good reasons that are personal to you. Eventually you are going to have new friends, new social circles and probably some new interests or hobbies. When you go out on your next date, give your affection and interest to the person sitting across or next to you, because you never know what may unfold before your very eyes, heart and soul.

Although there are many moisturizers available on the market, one of the best ways you can obtain soft supple skin is to drink 8-10 glasses of water. It also doesn’t have to be expensive bottled water as the water out of your kitchen tap will do the same job. Applying a general moisturizer will however enhance the process.

By drinking 8-10 glasses of water you will aid in the process of flushing toxins out of your body which will further show in your skin. Keeping your body hydrated will have amazing benefits not only for your body but your skin!

I’m sure you would agree that plucking your eyebrows can be a lengthy and painful task at the best of times! To avoid the dreaded pain of every single hair being yanked from your brow simply apply some baby teething gel to the area you are going to pluck! You should also test an area of your skin before you apply the gel to your face and remember to pluck in the direction of the individual hair.
