Grab a bottle of wine and sit tight…. cause…

 We’re talkin’ about the ever popular ONE NIGHT STAND!!

Okay now not everyone can get down, get back up, and get out the door…. But those of us who can, have, and quite possibly still are… know how fun a mystery lover can be!

The One Night Stand brings a whole new meaning to the ‘Minute Man’. Some of us have had wicked stories, where you get your salad tossed by the perfect prep chef, or you get your toes sucked but a Not-so-Sultan-of-the-Sack, but one thing remains the same, you don’t have to wait for a summer campfire to tell these crazy stories to your friends!!

Wondering if A One Night Stand is for you? Ask yourself this….

Are you looking for a husband everytime you go out trolling?
Do you instantly look for a connection, instead of a Mr. Right Now, if you answered yes, then perhaps you’re more of a serious dater, and prefer to perfect the chemistry before you get physical. And not that there’s anything wrong with that.

However,  if your dry spell is all you talk about to your friends, you feel like a cat in heat, and have already been through a pack of batteries, then perhaps you might need a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to get you through.

Just be a smart, safe, savvy player!

Since One Night Stands typically occur when you have some liquid courage goin’ on, make sure you are smart about where you go with your chosen babealicious- bachelor- of- the- night!

I REALLY don’t suggest going to your own place, especially if you live alone.  It’s the One Thing I am very cautious with! Even with guys I first start seeing, I don’t like showing them where I live.  Oh I dunno… maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather keep some details private - like how to find me again! ;P

Have fun.

Peace
J

It can be a pretty daunting task trying to figure out what it is you truly want to do with your life…

Some of us have been blessed with the knowledge of our purpose, our drive, and our hearts’ passion. Then there are the rest of us, who are frustrated with jobs that pay the rent, pass our time from 9-5p, and we whined up the “Jack of all Trades, Masters of None” and are STILL trying it figure out why we were put here on Earth.

I am one of the ‘Lucky Ones’. I’ve always known what it is I want to do with my life, however making ‘It’ happen, has been one of my hardest feats to tackle.

Your 20s are just that. They are yours. This is a unique time in your life to ultimately create your OWN life, create your OWN career, make your OWN dreams a reality!  You can OWN it all. The only cautionary note is, be prepared to battle. You will face demons internally and externally, but if you really really want it, you’ll do anything to chase the dream.

I mean let’s face it, if it was easy everyone would do it!

So how do you start chasing that Ultimate Goal?

First, figure out what that Ultimate Goal is? What makes you happy? What inspires you? Dream Big because when you limit what you want, you start to create unnecessary boundaries.

Make yourself a “workback schedule”. Go through all the steps it would take to achieve your Ultimate Goal.

Then set yourself a Priority List. Give those Priorities deadlines, and soon you’ll feel the rewards of achieving your short term goals!

It will amaze you how these simple tasks can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and momentum!

Finally, you will all face hurdles along the way. Snags build character, and will test whether or not this is something you truly want. Try at all costs to avoid negativity!

Negative energy will hamper your overall progress, which in my opinion is a dream unravaller! If you do find yourself in a rut, take it as an opportunity to re-evaluate your progress, shake things up, and take some new chances! There’s always room for improvement!

Happy chasing!

Peace  J

Alright ladies, hands up if your boyfriend, fiancée or husband watches sports!  I’m guessing it’s AT LEAST 75%.  Now how many women actually like that their partners in crime watch sports? Probably closer to 7.5%.  Sorry boys but if you guys think most of us actually like watching the ‘big game’ with you, you are for the most part sorely mistaken. Generally we find watching Tiger line up a putt about as exciting as watching nail polish dry. In fact if it was a really cute color, I’d rather watch the nail polish, hands down. (pun intended)

As much as I would prefer to find alternate things to do for three hours on the weekend rather than sitting in front of the idiot box with a bag of chips and a beer (shopping or a fun tumble between the sheets comes to mind) I have to admit that I am a baseball addict. But I draw the line there! I played it a lot growing up so I have an affinity to it. But that’s it. I’m not the girl who watches sports highlights over and over freaking out at a great glove save or the pain of a breaking ankle.

Psssst. Hey guys. Remember there’s a time and a place for everything. Nothing is less sexy then trying to get it on while sports highlights. You will be so much better off if you turn it off and her on. Once your love-wrestling match is over and you’ve both gone back to your corners…then you can get back to all the macho TV guy stuff. Call us selfish but we just like to be reassured that our time in the sheets out ranks your plays of the week!

And ladies, if this issue is a bit of a hot-button that drives you crazy, try taking a non-confrontational approach that may end up a win-win situation.  Try sitting down for a game and have your guy explain the basic rules and what some of the stats mean and the background behind the teams playing.  At least then you will be able to follow along. And then once you’re in the boy’s club…heat it up a little bit and make bets on the game.  Not real gambling but more sexy wagers. “If my team kicks a field goal before half time I’ll give you a…treat.” Not unlike real gambling you just might loose your shirt!

And finally the best reason for trying to take an interest in your guy’s love for sports?  It’s a two way street sista! Because you actively tried something that is important to him, he (in theory) should to do the same for you!

Batter up!!!

Peace

Watch out boys! The day is creeping up on you and before you know it good ol’ Valentine’s Day will be here! Yippeeeee!
And rest assured EVERY girl out there in a relationship is fully aware that the big day is less then a week away.

But what about those of you who are romantically challenged?  Relax. This week’s episode has lots of tips for those of you who can’t think of the perfect gift. Or…any gift.

Alright, first of all to take a little pressure off you all, lets assume that your partner is with you because they appreciates you and care about you and will be happy with any sort of effort on your part.

Now I know most people aren’t the biggest fans of V. D. because they feel it’s extremely commercialized, which is true. But the reality is any girl in a relationship, even the girls who aren’t hopeless romantics, enjoy little sweet nothings and romantic gestures. Trust me! But yes…it’s pricey.

So what can you do if you’re a little tight in the wallet? Good news boys! You can score BONUS points for using less dollars and more imagination. Why not cook her favourite meal, grab a good bottle of wine, and burn a CD (the re-vamped mix tape!) with her favourite music? It’s sweet and thoughtful and it won’t cost you too much.  Or a homemade coupon book is always a great option.  The catch is you have to make it yourself, but don’t worry if you aren’t a big crafty person. The cheesier and more kindergarten it looks the better in my opinion.  Remember though that this is a present for her and not you! No girl wants to open up her gift that says “Guess what honey? You get to give me a hummer!”.

And then you could always go old school with the typical flowers and candy. But why not revamp the candy and roses and go for a cookie-gram? It’s a bouquet of gourmet cookies and lets face it…is there really anything better?  Finally if your girl is totally sold on getting flowers why not be creative and ditch the typical roses and go with something original like lilies or orchids or a bouquet of wild flowers. It will show you were thinking outside of the box.

Ahhh Valentines Day. 24 hours of non-stop romance to make your girl happy. But girls, remember this is an equal opportunity day, so don’t forget to make HIS day special too!

Have fun everyone!!!

Peace (and love)

J

First of all, I live by myself so I am currently an “anti roommate” gal. However I once was a huge fan of them.

I think the thumbs up or thumbs down position on the topic comes down to a few things. Where you are in your life personally. Where you are in your life financially. And whether or not you’ve had the pleasure of living with the roommate from hell that will put you off bunking up with someone ever again.

I lived with roommates for five years and can now officially say I will never live with another one as long as I live (excluding serious bfs/husband). I prefer to come through my door, kick off my shoes, toss my coat on the floor and not worry about anyone else getting pissed. (then I’d run around picking up my coat and shoes because truth-be-told I’m a neat freak.)

But a lot of people really like living with someone so lets take a look at the pros…

Well, you have someone to share the bills with. You have someone you can turn to and confide in when you need a shoulder to cry on. Someone you can celebrate great news with. I guess you’ll have a sense of safety knowing you’re not alone in your place. You always have someone to hang out with…

But hang on. Stop the violins for a minute people. Before you wander too far down the “roommates are heavenly” road, lets backtrack a second and re-visit the roommate from hell. Because in my books? The milk-finishing, TV remote losing, party throwing, mood-swinging, bathroom-hogging, non-dish-washing, short-on-rent-money roommate trumps all the other warm and fuzzy reasons.

Now you may say I’m being a glass-half-empty girl. But the reality is it’s my glass and I’m free to fill that sucker back up anytime I want!

Peace

Jill
