SHOULD YOUR WIFE HAVE GUY FRIENDS?


In a recent poll, 83 percent of the people think that cross-gender friendships can and do exist.
A study found that they often start early, with 65 percent of boys and 60 percent of girls saying they have three or more close opposite-sex friends by 10th grade.


So what happens when you get married and you keep those friends? Jealousy can and almost always will come up. Here are some things to think about when balancing friends and lovers:


1. Don't make ultimatums. Trying to control another person's behavior never works. Try to understand the friendship, and what it's all about."


2. Be honest. Never lie about the time you spend with your friend. If you don't feel comfortable telling your spouse you're going to hang out, then maybe they have a reason to worry.


3. Socialize as a group. Spend time with both your significant other and your friend. And acknowledge your love for your spouse in front of your friend.


4. Set boundaries. If you feel the friend is crossing a line, say something. Open communication with your significant other is crucial.


5. If you feel threatened, be honest about it. Talk to both your significant other and their friend face-to-face. Tell them you feel left out. Don't be accusatory or yell, just be open and honest.


6. Think positive. As long as everybody's on the same page, opposite-sex friends can be fantastic for a couple. If you make your relationship too exclusive, it can become claustrophobic. Plenty of husbands would love another man to take his wife shopping or to the movies. It's less pressure on him!

I'M PUTTING MY BEST FACE FOWARD THANKS TO BELEZA MED SPA!



BEFORE DOT THERAPY! SEE THE BROWN SPOTS ON MY FACE? COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE PROCEDURE BEING DONE! THE TREATMENT IS VERY FAST! THE RECOVERY AND HEALING TIME IS FAST TOO! THE RESULTS ARE LONG LASTING!

THE CAMERA ADDS 10 POUNDS! WHY???



BAD LIGHTING - So, get your picture taken on a cloudy, overcast day - the light filtering through the clouds is less harsh and since it doesn’t cast harsh shadows, you’ll look smaller!

THE LENS - Most point and shoot cameras have wide angle lenses, use the telephoto lens. It not only makes things look closer, it shrinks distances from your nose to your ear and from your tummy to your back and that makes you look smaller.


THE WAY WE STAND - Put one foot in front of the other to make you not look as wide. Get rid of the double chin! First, lift your neck, tilt your head down and then make sure the camera is above eye level.


Finally...... Relax! Take a deep breath and exhale, lower your arms and shoulders and smile. No matter how you think you look in photos, get in the shot with everybody else! You are making memories and they won’t look at the picture to check out if you look heavier, they’re looking at the photo to remember you look happy to be with them! SMILE!

DR. PERRICONE'S 10 SUPERFOODS


Of course, there are more than just 10 "superfoods." In fact, just about every brightly colored fruit and vegetable fits the category of a superfood, as do nuts, beans, seeds and aromatic and brightly colored herbs and spices. The beneficial properties of each one of these superfoods could fill an entire book.



The 10 featured here were chosen because of their direct link to the Brain-Beauty Connection. These foods (listed here in alphabetical order) are rich in either the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), antioxidants or fiber, and as in the case of açaí—all three!In addition, we have included foods that have been proven to lower or help regulate blood sugar levels—an extremely important factor for all of those concerned with slowing the aging process and preventing diabetes, obesity, wrinkles and a host of degenerative diseases.







Health Benefits:




Although many of these foods have reported medical benefits, remember at all times that if you have any type of health problem or physical symptom, do not self-diagnose or self-medicate—even if with a food or herb. Trust your medical professional first and foremost in this department. However, the 10 foods included here do have incredible health benefits. Listed below are just some of the reasons to include these foods in your diet—every day:



Prevent or reduce inflammation
Help regulate metabolism and burn body fat
Lower total cholesterol
Lower blood pressure
Help protect against heart disease
