Spreading Love

Corals

It’s that time again…the month of February will be here in just a few days! People will begin to obsess about what he or she should get for that very special valentine. Flowers, candy, and different stuffed animals start to appear everywhere you look. From department stores to local gas stations, one can find many gifts for that special someone. Is this really what the “big day” is all about? Do people really believe that only materialistic things are the only way to show your love and affection for another person? It is important not to get lost or caught up in all things that glitter.Do you ever take the time out to show God how much you love him? Do you dedicate a whole day to him showering him…

Dear Bentley

Pinks

Relationships One to Many: Part II Why People are afraid of Commitment As a little girl, we all dream of our fairytale wedding with our prince, but once we get older and live life, our outlook changes; through experiencing good and bad relationships, being in the single realm, dating pool, and focusing on our careers. We always feel that the one we are with is a great person, but God may have someone better in store. Men and women tend to get stuck in relationship limbo…“I always thought I’d have this magical moment where I would meet someone and there’d be this instant clicking and we would literally be married six months later,” a girl says. SORRY...IN TODAY’S SOCIETY, THAT 40’s, WWII IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST! We never seem to…

Fellas & V-Day

Plums

The day of love is quickly approaching. The closer it gets to Valentine's Day, the more of an opportunity there is for the fellas to inadequately choose a last minute gift. Showcasing your love on this day is very important. Why? It will ensure pleasure on both ends. Make her happy and she'll do the same. That's the ultimate goal anyway right? That's why your gift cant be mediocre. It has to be something she can remember over a period of time. Your gift shouldn't just be a Valentines Day gift, it should be something she can think about over the days and months afterward. The cliche' says "think outside of the box." But for Valentine's day dudes need to convey how the box fits around them. Meaning don't look…

Email your questions to blondiesmag@gmail.com, put “Dear Bentley” as the subject.Relationships: One to ManyIn college, single, and loving it!!!Since the male population is limited to damn near ZERO on college campuses, women are subject to being single.

Sorry men, women are becoming the players! Having options and not being tied down is something that women are now embracing. Since we out number you anyway in college,…

Trying to make the best of an unhappy situation takes focus and courage. It can be done. If you have been following the articles on Stupid Bitch Syndrome you are aware of its dangers.

Praise Him this New Year!!

Pinks

Happy New Year! As we come into the new year of 2011, it is important to give thanks to God for allowing us to see another year.“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father” Colossians 3:17 NLT Many times we forget that God has brought us through a year of ups and downs. The New Year symbolizes a new beginning for many people. People make resolutions to save more money, lose weight, exercise more, or simply break old habits. Let us not forget to make the resolution to become closer with God. Take time out of your busy schedule to attend church, read the Bible, and/or engage in praise and worship. People turn to God…

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move Forward

Plums

With the New Year only days in, it's imperative that I start the articles on the Recovering Bitch. I'm talking about all of the people who don't want to bring that unnecessary, unwanted, drama into the New Year with them. The RB focuses on the self. They must work on ways to make themselves feel wanted and appreciated. This has to be accomplished before they can give themselves to anybody else.“Out with the old and in with the New.” People love to use this slogan when referring to the desire to move past unhappy relationships. This slogan is often heard at the beginning of the year. As a way to tell yourself "Its over!" But is it really? We have learned some of the qualities of a SB and can point…
