I think we are all yearning for spring at this point. Although Maryland is technically below the Mason-Dixon line, I can tell you having lived here my entire life, that spring really doesn’t get going until late April, if we’re lucky. So in this neck of the woods, we are still wearing warmer clothes, though we yearn to feel the warmth of the sunshine on our bodies.

“Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.” (Genesis 45:4)

It’s likely you have some familiarity with the term Emotional intelligence. You may even know about what it is, how to spot it in others—and how to improve yours for better relating. A new study is now pointing to our genes and how they might play a role in our EQ. Yes, this is interesting, but I fear it could lead folks to think they were born a certain way, and that is that. Not true, you can improve your EQ—however charisma and social dexterity do come easier to some than to others. Here’s what the study found. Читать дальше...

Scientists from Rutgers University and New York University recently concluded a set of experiments in which they found evidence that couples downgrade the attractiveness of individuals that they perceive as a threat to their relationships. The results were published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

First dates usually conjure up two very opposing feelings and attitudes. Some people enjoy dating, meeting new people, experiencing the thrill of wondering if this person could end up being the person—but for others, dating is a necessary evil in their quest to find love.

Superdrug is one of my vice's. If ever you're in Dumfries on a Saturday afternoon, it's not unlikely to find me stalking the aisles of Superdrug swatching everything. I've also tried most things so HOLLA and say hello if you need recommendations.

Recently launched in 2018 is the Superdrug Vitamin C Skincare. The range consists of five products:

On Sunday, 8th Apr 2018 – Delhi Daredevils played Kings X1 Punjab – and some observed that both teams were short by one foreign player, in specific – Aussies !  ~ the reason ??
                       Indian opener  KL Rahul blasted the IPL's fastest half-century to give Kings XI Punjab a rousing start to their 2018 IPL campaign. Rahul razed the Daredevils attack in a brutal performance, getting to the landmark inside three overs and off just 14 balls.  Incongruously, though, Kings XI ended up huffing and puffing to their target of 167.

The Journal of Personality and Social psychology recently published a study on married sex—how often and how much desire is shown by partners, broken down by sex. It also delves into a husband’s perceptions about his wife‘s desire VS her perceptions about how he is feeling.

The NY Times had a very interesting piece running a couple of days ago titled “Why you will marry the wrong person.” Now that’s a title that would get the attention of anyone who is single, and especially anyone who is presently engaged to who they believe is their right person.

There’s an app for everything it seems. Now a team of folks from Hollywood along with Gary Lewandowski, PhD, have developed and recently released an app called StayGo. Catchy, isn’t it? It’s name describes that age-old dilemma that so many folks find themselves in with their relationships—“Should I stay or should I go?”

A Sunday Walk to Circus Maximus Market

Who knows what a walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon will lead to? I needed  some fresh ingredients for Sunday dinner. I decided to go to  the Market at Circus Maximus- known for local, organic and seasonal produce, dairy and freshly baked breads…but a trip to the market in Rome is never just a trip to the market…...

It may have missed the Year of the Dragon, but a return to Insomniac’s Spyro the Dragon is another welcome addition to the age-old trend of making the old feel new again. Following in the recent footsteps of action platforming classic Crash Bandicoot and Yooka Laylee, the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, the past year or so marks an interesting shift in gaming nostalgia as the once defunct collect-a-thon platformer has suddenly become en vogue all over again. Time to update that list of exciting 2018 releases before it’s too late. Читать дальше...

I am so excited to share this blue graphic festival eye makeup look I did recently featuring a bright glitter inner corner. I used axis from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture palette with the lightest teal-blue from the Viseart Editorial palette and the end result was freaking awesome. I do ask that you ignore my wonky lash. I had not realized just how deformed they were until I looked at the pictures, but even they couldn’t ...

I have been talking about the importance of nonverbal communication in relationships for a long time. Now there is more proof of how important this is if you want to hear and be heard correctly.

Elizabeth Bernstein, Bonds columnist for the Wall Street Journal, just came out with a great piece on why making friends is harder for adults. Many readers will be able to relate as we have all lost some childhood friends, college friends, and single friends to time, graduation, moving, and/or marriage and children. Essentially, the shared life experiences that brought us together change, and too often, friendships fade away.

If you have little experience with using body language to enhance your communications, here is a new study that reinforces its importance. Researchers at Ohio State University have identified a universal facial expression that expresses negative emotion. It is used in an identical way by speakers of English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and American Sign Language (ASL)—this last one being even more significant. The “Not Face” consists of a furrowed brow, pressed lips, and raised chin—and in the... Читать дальше...

In this easy hook-up culture, cheating abounds. Yes, it has always been there, it just seems that the temptations are greater and the opportunities are everywhere. But fear not, there’s an app for that too. In response to the popularity of Tinder and the fact that many people who aren’t exactly single are using it, a few ingenious developers invested SwipeBuster.

Most of the relationship difficulties that couples encounter after saying “I do” are the result of moving forward into commitment with assumptions and expectations that were never explored and discussed beforehand. Simply put, people assume they want the same things and have the same life vision. Then they just expect that life together will be a certain way based on their unchecked assumptions. Too often they are in for a disappointing surprise and wake-up call down the road.

You know the old saying that “opposites attract?” A new study has found that there is probably little if any truth to it. Researchers at Wellesley College and the University of Kansas found that people are drawn to others who are like-minded, not those who are different.

If you are having a bad day, week or more—can you talk to your partner about it? By this I mean; do they listen, understand what you are saying, and care about how you are feeling? Or is it just one or two of these? The results of new research on this topic have just been released by psychologists at UC Santa Barbara. What they found is that it’s not enough that one’s partner hears and understands what they are saying, they also need to care about how it is affecting them for it to be truly helpful.

Many of you are probably familiar with the great book, The 5 Love languages. If not, it’s about how we express love in different ways (he identifies 5), and that knowing what yours is and how it may work well with or clash with that of your significant other can help your relationship. It’s a brilliant work that really can help all couples to improve their intimate communication/relationship.
