    Secrets For Making Your Man Feed Wanted

    Real Cougar Women are uber independent.  There isn’t much we can’t figure out on our own, but at the same time, we know how to make the man in our life feel needed and wanted.

    Here are 6 proven secrets for balancing your relationship and keeping your guy feel loved and appreciated.

    1. Show him you’re partners. There’s a big difference between showing your  man you need him (which he craves) and being needy (which terrifies him). A good partner wants to make you happy, to comfort you when you’re having a bad day, and to support you along your journey.

    2. Ask his opinion.  Guys love to feel that their opinion is valued (who doesn’t, really?) So if you’re angling for a promotion at work or wondering how to deal with a difficult boss, ask your guy for his thoughts. Keep in mind that men are a solution-oriented sex, so be prepared for him to suggest an action plan.

    3.  Let him make plans. Real Cougars want to do it all which isn’t the greatest way to show a man you care. Give him the chance to help you and to surprise you.  Yes, he may not do things exactly the way you do, but that can be a good thing.

    4.  Ask him to help you with a “manly” task. Nothing boosts a man’s ego like doing something, well, manly. My husband revels in his ability to put together a piece of Ikea furniture that comes in 279 pieces.  Again its about letting him know he’s needed and you that you really can’t do it ALL yourself.

    5.  Let him teach you about something he loves. Whether it’s olitics, football, investing, your guy is passionate about something you know nothing about. So ask him to tell you about it…then let him take you to a game, or plan a trip, or set a budget. He’ll be so appreciative that you took the time to learn about something that’s important to him, and the bonding experience will be priceless.

    6.  Thank him. When your guy shares some information that you find interesting, or cracks you up with a funny story, or helps you figure out a problem that’s been baffling you, be sure to thank him. Let him know that he’s the only one who can make you laugh that hard, and the person who understands you best. The warm, fuzzy, confident feeling he gets when he’s around you will keep him coming back for more, guaranteed!

    Give these tips a try and watch how he makes a special effort to show you how much YOU are needed.

  • Undereye Bags Gone In 10 Minutes

    Undereye Bags Gone In 10 Minutes

    Sometimes you just get fed up with people telling you how tired you look.  It’s those dark circles and under eye bags that make you look like you haven’t slept in weeks.  Concealer can help but too often it just accentuates what you are trying to hide.

    Now there is a more permanent solution to heavy under eye bags.

    Promising to soften dark circles in just ten minutes, cosmetic surgeons are injecting filler into the eye bags for the new treatment that lasts two to four years.

    Dr Alexander Rivkin, a Los Angeles based-facial cosmetic surgeon, said of the in-office procedure which does not require anesthesia: ‘It really is the fountain of youth for the eyes.’

    Tear-trough fillers: Promising to soften dark circles in just ten minutes, cosmetic surgeons are injecting filler into the eye bags for the new treatment that lasts two to four years. 

    The dermatologist-offered procedure called tear-trough fillers, where hyaluronic acid such as Restylane or Juvéderm is injected to make the eyes appear better rested, costs from $600 to $1,000.

    However injecting the eye area is not without risks. If the filler blocks a retinal artery, it can cause blindness, but that’s rare.  The usual side effects of the tear-trough treatment range from puffy eyes to possible bruising, which usually subsides within one week.

    Melissa Beretich told Good Morning America: ‘What I’m hoping to come out with is to be able to go back to what I was doing four to five years ago, and not wear makeup. The ten minute procedure with New York City-based plastic surgeon, Dr Steven Pearlman, Ms Beretich said she ‘absolutely’ saw a difference in her eyes and felt no pain at all.

    Dr Pearlman explained: ‘What this treatment is doing is camouflaging the bags. For people who only have mild [eye] bags, it’s a way to stave off the need for surgery by filling in that hollow.

  • Dove Proves Women Are Prettier Than We Think We Are

    Dove Proves Women Are Prettier Than We Think We Are

    By Linda Franklin

    Do other people see you differently than you see yourself, especially in the looks department?  A new Dove campaign “Real Beauty Sketches”, says yes  – and offers proof, in the form of forensic sketches.

    Dove recruited seven women of different ages and backgrounds and had FBI-trained forensic artist Gil Zamora create composite sketches of them based on descriptions of their own facial features. In this video, produced for the campaign, you can hear the women use phrases like “my mom told me I had a big jaw,” “I kind of have a fat, rounder face,” “I’d say I have a pretty big forehead.”

    The women had been asked to spend time with strangers, though neither party was told why. These strangers were later brought one by one into a room with Zamora and asked to describe the women who had been sketched earlier. The two resulting drawings of each woman were then hung side-by-side — and the contrast is pretty stark. The tagline of the campaign is: “You are more beautiful than you think.”

    And it’s women’s existing shame that the Dove campaign does a good job of exposing through its sketches.

  • Relationships That Work Aren’t Power Plays

    Relationships That Work Aren’t Power Plays

    Do we really need relationship geniuses  telling us what makes love last?  Most of the time it comes down to common sense, but I will admit, lots of us lack that quality when it comes to our personal relationships. Too often it becomes a power play, a tug of war of who’s right and who’s wrong.

    If you put a relationship in a win/lose situation, it will be you who loses. The question is: Is what you’re doing working or not working?

    The quality of a relationship is a function of the extent to which it is built.  Is there a solid underlying friendship that meets the needs of the two people involved?

    There is no right or wrong way to fix a relationship. Find your own way  – the one that  works. But recognize when it’s not working and be honest when it needs fixing.

    Falling in love is not the same thing as being in love. Embrace the change and know that it takes work.

    You don’t fix things by fixing your partner. You don’t necessarily solve problems. You learn how to manage them.

    Communicate. Make sure your sentences have verbs. Remember that only 7 percent of communication is verbal. Actions and non-verbal communication speak much louder.

  • Vajacial:Pampering Down Below

    Vajacial:Pampering Down Below

    The quest for perfect skin has led us to a new frontier – The Vajcacial.     That’s the new term for beautifying your vagina with a

    • 50-minute ‘facial’.  You get plucked, cleansed moisturized and covered in a mask.

    Women are always looking for the what’s next and this remedy for ingrown hairs and red bumps that often accompany shaving or a bikini wax is it.

    In San Francisco Stript Wax Bar owner Katherine Goldman said that demand for the service has increased 30 percent each year since she started offering it in 2010.

    They are particularly beneficial after a Brazilian wax, to make sure the area looks perfect after the heavy-duty procedure.

    The Vajacial was a ‘lifesaver’ for Christina from San Francisco, she told ABC news. She was heading off on her honeymoon trip when she realized her usual Brazilian wax had gone wrong.

    Her bikini area broke out in red bumps. ‘It looked like I had an STD,’ she said. ‘There was no way I could sit by the pool, nothing.’

    Other salons around the US offer the service under different names. One New York salon calls it a Peach Smoothie.

    So what do you think?  Have we gone overboard in the care and maintenance of our bodies?  Having your nether regions plucked, moisturized and massaged might be carrying things a little too far.
