                                    GIFTS FOR HIM

        Lets face it ladies we live for getting gifts and shopping for them! We will take any reason to head to the mall! Guys are super easy to please and even easier to shop for but of course we go the extra mile to make it special.  We as woman tend to wanna out do everyone else same goes for gifts! The better the gift the better girlfriend you are. The problem with being such good gift givers is we have to out due that gift the next Christmas or birthday! If you just started shopping for the guy you just started dating and  you really wanna impress him here are a few gift ideas.

• THE GAMER GUY! : Get this fellas the newest hottest game that he has been wanting ( $60 ) up that by getting him the special edition of that game. Get him a new customized controller or head set. If the game he really wants isn't out go ahead and pre-order is for him. If you really have some extra cash and really REALLY love him get him the newest consoles. 
• THE SPORTS FAN! : Take your man to see his favorite teams play. Buy him his favorite team member jersey. Buy him any sports related!
• THE EATER! : Make him his favorite meal with a little something something special for dessert.
• THE NERD! : Buy him all the new electronics! Ipods, Beats, New desktop computer or laptop, kindle or nook, or the smartest smart phone
• THE CAR LOVER : Take him to a car show.
• THE BLING BLING GUY! : A new watch, ring, or necklaces. Matching jewelry always cute and special.

                     

       My best advice is you don't have to spread millions of dollars for something to be special. After all the most special gift you give to him/her you give to them every moment everyday. The great gift you can give someone his your heart, endless love, and affection. Diamonds lose their sparkle, we grow out of clothes, and the newest games or technology is always yesterdays news. All the must have material things just wide up sitting around just collecting dust. What really sticks is what comes from the heart. A romantic love note, A good romantic home cooked meal, a home made mix tape made up of all those romantic love songs that mean the most, a slow dance under the stars, a walk on the beach, or a home message. Make something that they will treasure for a life time. True love never dulls its spark. A heart never collects dust. Make it come from the heart. Make your gift mean something special. Keeping living. Keep loving.

Relationships VS Personal Space

      


                                                 RELATIONSHIPS VS PERSONAL SPACE



       Boundaries and personal space can become some what challenging in growing relationships. The invasion of personal space usually comes later in relationship. Invasion of personal space can occurs when a couple desires to move in together for the first time.  Here is a few ways to handle if your personal space is being invaded in a relationship.


                   


      Woohoo! What an excited time in your relationship! You have decided to move into together! This may feel a little strange but wonderful for those of you moving in with someone other then your parents for the first time! It was great at first. Just the two of you. Cuddling. Watching movies. Walking around naked. Slowly falling a sleep in each other's arms. No rules. You are free to do what you want to do. You are officially playing house. After a few months you start to feel....invaded. It isn't bad to feel that way but know that the invasion isn't being done on purpose. You start to notice it slowly. You start to feel a little crapped and uncomfortable. For the fellas it may be a shock seeing tampons in the bathroom and all of a sudden your killer dude pad is now pink and frilly. For the ladies things might not be so ladies like anymore. It is ok that he farts it may be horrifying at first but for the sack of love we endure their smells and sounds.


                          


    When personal space is being invaded it is important to respect boundaries. Make sure to take some me time when you feel like you need a little space. Go for a walk. Take a bubble bath. Take a drive. Take the dog to the park. Go shopping. Read. Get a message. Meditate. Go to the gym. Go for a run. Write. Build something. Crafts. Take up a hobby or class.  It is ok to take some separate time from each other. It is health for the relationship and will avoid may explosive arguments. Me time can even save a relationship.


                  


        If you are experiencing some invasion of space talk through it right away! This issue really isn't a big one so don't make a big deal over it. Set boundaries. Set some guild line but not rules! Be like "Hun can you please not turn off my tv shoe to put on the game? Please ask me first. If I can watch my show later you can watch the game. Just ask." or "Hey babe. Can you make sure to clean up all your makeup and put it away so I can have room for my stuff in the bathroom?"  Each of you every week set some me time a side for yourselves. Communication is the key to fixing any mishap or problem in any relationship. Remember. Keep living. Keep learning. Keeping Laughing. Keep loving.

Relationships VS The Honeymoon Phase

The honeymoon phase!

  Ah the honeymoon phase. One of the sweetest times in any relationship. For those of you who don't know what the honeymoon phase is let me take a moment to explain. The honeymoon phase is at the beginning of every relationships. It consist of butterflies that feel more like killer bees in your stomach, blushing, everything is all sunshine and rainbows, you guys never fight, he's charming, she's lovely, you smile so much your cheeks heart, your heart pounds, you want you spend all your time together, you can't keep your hands off each other, blowing off plans to hangout with each other, endless PDA, etc.  It is a magical time where you and your partner our just figuring things out and finding out more and more about each other. Admit it! You giggled like a little school girl at his jokes! Alas this phase doesn't last forever. 

   There comes a time where the honeymoon period does end but that doesn't mean the relationship has to end as well. The honeymoon phase tends to end around 6 months to a year. That when most relationship die off or the couple give up because things aren't as easy as it use to be. It doesn't have to be that way. The honeymoon phase doesn't make a relationship what comes after does. When you finally get into a groove as a couple things seem to simmer down. How many time have you said " We act like an old married couple already?!". So tell me what is so wrong with being like and old married couple. I personally love it! The pressure is off now! You can lay around looking a hot mess and your man still loves you! Thing get tough that's how we learn and grow. You may fight a little bit more and cuddle a little bit less but that shouldn't change the way you feel about each other. It should just make you stronger as a couple.  The first year is the easiest, the five years after that are the hardest, but if you tick it through its all down hill after that. 

   Wanna know how to get through the tough years after the honeymoon ends? All is not lost! Even though the honeymoon is over doesn't mean the butterflies and good times have to stop. The main thing to remember is don't forget how to treat each other. Never ever go to bed angry! If you have a fight even if it takes all night talk it through till you get it all out on the table and get everything you need to off your chest. You never go to bed mad at each other because the next day isn't a guarantee. Fighting is a good thing because if you give up fighting then that's when it's over. Say I love you as much as possible you can never say it enough. You don't  need to do big things. A little love note or a surprise romantic dinner date at home with his favorite meal will do the trick nicely. Little everyday reminders are important tell her she beautiful if her sweats and her hair a mess. Tell him that you love him more then the first day you met. Tell each other everything. Be each others best friend. Own up if you make a mistake. Learn together. Grow together. Never give up. That's how you make it work.

keep loving. keep living.
