Make Small Changes in Your Lifestyle Habits

Make it Small, small changes in our lifestyle habits, that is! Success starts with small changes and perhaps we can think of them as small steps. This is true whether we want to accomplish something new, or change something old.

I like to compare our taking small steps to an infant learning to walk. An infant starts with small steps, takes a few falls and eventually he or she becomes the running toddler we can hardly catch.

Scarf Chic

The scarf has been a classic fashion accessory for decades, donned by style icons like Jackie Onassis and Nina Simone. But for me, it all started with the infamous Nicole Richie. Sexy skinny jeans, super-sized sunglasses and stylish scarves screamed swank, yet simple, to me. I just love the style. And a lot of others do as well.

Scarves can be found everywhere and on everyone these days, and not just for warmth (for those of you who thought scarves only kept away the cold), but for fashion. You can always see celebrities on your favorite blog rocking a scarf or at least see every other person walking down the street with one on.

Maybe we’re reading a bit too much into this, but we’re pretty sure this fictional phenomenon has at least some roots in reality. In our experience, women love gay men.

Breakup Warning Signs

No one wants to be ambushed by an unexpected breakup. Sometimes it’s pretty obvious when a breakup is on the horizon, but other times, the signs your girlfriend gives that she’s through with the relationship can be subtle.

If you can pick up on these hints, you might be able to do something about it before it’s too late and you find yourself dumped. Or, if you’re entertaining the idea of breaking up yourself, you can beat her to the punch once you notice these subtle breakup warning signs.

With legs for days and lips to long for, Betsie D. definitely has a killer look. There’s no doubt about that. There are plenty of ad campaigns and runways to attest to that. So, it should come as no surprise why Betsie Dsane is this week’s Elite Model.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Nike, Revlon, Cosmopolitan and Ebony are just some of the companies that Betsie, 26, has done work for.

Some subjects tend not to be discussed during small talk or over the dinner table. Traditionally, our friends are the ones we turn to for sexual discussions, comparisons on exploits, and relationship woes.
| by Nicole Trask |

Giving head or “going down” is something most of us do between the sheets, but how often do we discuss and examine this highly personal experience out loud? And where do you go to get the real nitty gritty on sexual maneuvers?
