“Your life can be under construction and still be a marvel to behold”

Pinks
As a society as a whole, we are selfish by nature. We expect perfection, but we deliver mediocrity. We ask for flawlessness, but we are never without our own flaws. We place boundaries and set standards on others that we, ourselves, cannot meet, but yet we ridicule those that fall below. But we never take the time to look in the mirror. Truly look in it and see ourselves for what we are. And for those that do, most don’t like what they see. If any obstacles, or problems, or issues arise in our lives, we take a hiatus on living.  We take a break, using precious time that can never be given back, and use excuses that justify our actions. You’ve heard it before; “I need time to get…

Relationships One to ManyIn A Trance“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'' A trance that only two lovers can experience.When a woman finds that guy that makes…

It’s a random Sunday morning and we’re wrapped around each otherA tangle of limbs in a California King size bedAll the room in the world…… All the space we need…….But the distance is not a luxury that we want to take advantage of right nowI can hear his heart beating And I notice that mine is beating in tune with hisThis causes me to smile…My eyes are closedHands are caressing skinSkin is caressing skinAnd we can just………beAfter a moment we may talkAbout everything and nothing at the same timeIt’s sensual and real and passionateLike were making love with our words…….The best kind of foreplayMost of the time we just listen to each other breatheAnd are comforted in the simple pleasure of sharing something so pure, so trivialOn this random day,…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part V

Neutrals
Hey yall!! I am so close to my weight loss goal I can taste it! Here are this week's tips to losing weight the healthy way and keeping those unwanted pounds off for good. Again, these are things that I have done and they have worked wonderfully for me this past year. I know it is not going to be easy, but if you can begin to implement these changes into your lifestyle, I promise you will begin to notice the results. 1.) Drink at least 6-8 8oz. cups of water a day. I recommend getting a container that holds 32oz and striving to drink one a day and eventually work your way up to two a day. A lot of times our bodies mistake thirstiness for hunger and that causes…

What does your smile say?

Pinks
“I like him because he smiles at me and means it”      –AnonymousSuch a simple quote. It’s very simplistic in its words but full of meaning. Most of us, can tell the difference between a fake smile and a real smile from our significant others’. Hopefully, we care about them enough to inquire about the fake ones. But having someone smile at you, and you catch the millions of meanings that their smiles convey is a treasure not found by many. Imagine yourself sitting in a room with your significant other on a random Sunday morning. You’re both enthralled in different things at the moment. But then you happen to glance up at the same time and he doesn’t say anything but smile. The smile only lasts for a second and…

Outside ForcesA relationship is a state of connectedness between two people; two meaning a couple, the sum of one plus one, me and you...etc. When other people are figured into this equation it can cause a rift, divide, or even over crowding for the initial " two" people in the relationship. There is a saying, "three is a crowd" and in a relationship, this is definitely true. This crowd could include parents, a mistress, and the most common...friends. To some people, their parents opinion of their significant other is a major deal breaker. For example, a girl's mother or father may not approve of her boyfriend, so they may try to keep them from seeing each other, make their relationship hell, or even make her stop seeing him. The "…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part IV

Neutrals
         Weight Loss Success!!Ok, so I know you have heard enough of what did NOT work for me on my weight loss journey. Now it is time for me to let you know what has worked for the last year! This is the first time in my life that I have been able to keep weight off for this long and I finally realized why I have been able to do so. It is because this whole weight loss thing has to be a LIFESTYLE change. I finally realized that I can not just "diet" because diets are something that you are on and off. I knew that in order for me to maintain the weight loss (and eventually reach my goal weight) I had to make changes with the way I live my life. So with…
