10 Things You May Never Be Able To Change In You Man

A relationship can get pretty confusing especially since men and women are so drastically different. Want to make your relationship work? Here are some facts about men that you should know!

1. Didn’t I say ‘I love you’ just a minute ago?
While women insist on saying those three little words far too often, it somehow isn’t that important to most men. Accept it. It doesn’t mean he loves you any less! Watch his actions. That should communicate louder than his words.

2. You look great honey!
If you don’t want a standard response, don’t ask a standard question! It throws men off as there’s no right answer. You’re going to disbelieve him anyway. So save him the panic attack and ask your kids instead.

3. I wasn’t staring at her!
Boys will be boys. You can’t complain if your guy notices your pretty office receptionist. If she’s pretty, he will notice! That’s his primal tendency. You can’t change what comes naturally to him and there’s no need to be overly jealous about it.

4. You’re not ready? It’s late!
Well, he did say the movie starts at 7. He doesn’t understand about being fashionably late. His idea of entertainment is not waiting in the car while you do up your hair. Try and respect his time. After all you could be spending more time together.

5. That’s a nice dress
Men love it when you take their advice on fashion. Why? They feel good that you’re dressing up for them and not to impress other women… or MEN! If he likes you in lilac, then by all means buy lilac. Despite how much you think it’s a waste of money (KANJE!!). He will appreciate the thought.

6. Are you bored?
He may be talking about cars or a new pc game he is crazy about, and you wouldn’t know a thing about it, but look interested. It’s the least you can do for all the hours that you’ve tortured him with beauty talk and gossip about the girls at college!

7. You’re simply stunning!
Wouldn’t you want to hear those words from your man? Then, don’t let yourself go! He wants to be the luckiest guy in the room when you both walk in as a couple.

8. I’m not thinking anything…
Don’t bombard your man with questions just to find out how he’s feeling. He may not know what’s going on inside him. Sometimes, giving him a little space will help him sort things out peacefully. Although this may be extremely very tough, just try ladies.

9. Yes, I’m wearing this!
Don’t ask your man ‘Will you be wearing that?’ just after he has dressed up. Isn’t it obvious? If you want him to dress better, then choose his clothes before he puts them on. It will certainly save you both a lot of time!

10. Let me just fix it!
Men do not appreciate the ‘guessing game’. If you’re got a problem, tell him. He will want to find a solution that’s quick and fuss-free.
Men are wonderful creations if you know the inside secrets of how to deal with them on a daily basis. Hopefully these tips will cement your relationship for a long future!

STOP !! 10 things HE wouldn't want to hear from you (important)

10. 21 questions while watching an actual game.
As much as we are passionate about clothes, accessories, shoes and bags and men have no idea why we’re obsessed with it, the same thing goes for them. Sports (or computer games) is something that they’re all crazy about. So when watching a football match with your boyfriend, don’t go into 21 questions mode just keep silent even when you have no clue what’s going on.

9. “It’s just a game!”
Refer to entry number 10. *winks* =p

8. “We need to talk.”
For them, this sounds like a threat and immediately puts them in defensive mode. Try something more subtle, like “Honey, did you “ This way, the approach will be more direct, you won’t sound like you’re looking for a fight and you won’t have him running out of your apartment faster than a speeding bullet.

7. “Nothing’s wrong.”
I’m writing this with a big sigh men are not mind readers and even we’re boiling up about something they did that’s so obviously wrong they’re always clueless about it. So instead of giving them the look and telling them that nothing’s wrong when something obviously upsets you just tell them straight out. Don’t make ‘em guess either, his answer will just worsen things.

6. “Size doesn’t matter.”
No matter how well endowed your man is to your eyes at least, telling him that size doesn’t matter will make him feel like he doesn’t ‘measure up’. It’s better to not say anything.

5. “Which outfit do you like better?”
As long as you end up looking great in his eyes, getting into a fight about his answer to this question is pointless. Ask a girlfriend instead they’re more likely to come up with a more respectable answer.

4. “Let’s just be friends.”
If you’re still in the dating scene, telling a guy that you want to be friends would give him false hopes so this line is a no-no.

3. “I know, I sound like my mom.”
Just the thought that we’d end up looking like our moms (no matter how pretty she is) would give a man the creeps. So don’t tell your man that you sound like your mom while you’re squabbling over something even if you do sound like her.

2. “Do you think she’s pretty?”
If you’re feeling insecure when he as much as looks in the way of a hot, sexy woman with a more perfect body shape as compared to you, don’t ask him this question. You won’t like both answers anyway. If he tells you that ‘you’re the only pretty woman in my eyes’ or some stock response, you’ll just think that he’s lying and still feel insecure anyway.
On the other hand, if he admits that she’s hot (which he probably will not) you’re all getting all worked up now, right? So the moral lesson? Don’t ask the question! Just pretend that he did not peek at the tramp!

1. “That’s cute,” or “You’re cute!”
Research shows that if there’s one thing that men hate: it’s the word 'cute'. You can call a puppy that he gives you as a gift as cute. But don’t ever, EVER tell him that he’s cute. Or that his sports hero is cute.
Saying these things to your man is bound to drive him nuts so just zip it!

Is There Really Such A Thing As A Low-Fat Ice Cream ?

Aside from diamonds, ice cream and chocolates are also a girl’s best friend. A really sinful, calorie-rich, diet-bursting pint of chocolate ice cream can do wonders for me.
When I’m PMS’ing, when my boyfriend and I had a fight, when I’m watching a romanti movie by my lonesome or when I’m mulling over the fact that I (still) do not know what to do with my life - that ice cream container in the freezer is there as a pick-me-up.
But what the heck would it do to your diet if everytime you’re feeling the blues, you have to feel all guilty because of the calories that you’re consuming?
Fortunately, there ARE low-fat ice cream brands which taste just as good - minus all that fat. The scoop on low-fat ice cream is that they are bursting with flavor, they have a rich, velvety texture, and the best part is - you can enjoy its full, ice-creamy taste without the fat!

Here are some mouth-wateringly creamy, low fat ice cream brands that you can try:

* Marks & Spencer Healthy Option, Zingy Raspberry Revolution (115 calories/100 grams)
* Waitrose Seriously Creamy Passionfruit Iced Dessert(139 calories/100 grams)
* Ben & Jerry’s Jamaican Me Crazy Sorbet (105 calories/100 grams)
* Yeo Valley Organic Frozen Creamy Yoghurt (140 calories/100 grams)
* Skinny Cow Completely Mintal (170 calories/100 grams)
* Asda’s Good for you Vanilla Dairy Ice Cream (155 calories/100 grams)

Bobs and Bangs

Since its that time of the year again for me to make my visit to the hair salon, I've been doing a little reasearch of my own on trendy hair styles, highlights and so on so forth. And after much reading and analysing i've decided to type out this post.

Precision cut bobs are huge this year, coupled with smooth, sleek styling, a blunt fringe and heaps of shine. Your bob should be carefully crafted to accentuate your unique facial structure, or highlight a long, beautiful neck.
Bob hair styles range from ear level to shoulder skimming and are best for straight or slightly wavy hair. If you wear your bob with straight hair, you would be able to create that glamorous look. BTW, bangs go great with bobs, but only opt for the bangs if it works with your facial structure.

If your hair is a bit curly, your bob will have that fresh youthful look. And if you’re feeling a little more groovy, incorporate a mod feel into your bob, just like gorgeous Jessica Alba did.
