1. He looks up the movie you've been waiting to see and surprises you with a date night. He might not want to see it, but he knows all the show times in a five mile radius. 

2. He wants to please you in bed. Even if he lacks talent in bed, he's making an effort to improve.

3. He doesn't look at his phone when you're around.  Status updates AND FOOTBALL scores can't win out over you. Suppressing the compulsion to check his phone, that's love.
4. He brings you flowers for no reason. Some women think this is tacky. It isn't.

5. He texts you pictures of inside jokes and things that remind him of you. Somehow, he makes grumpy cat memes romantic.

6. He wants you to hang out with his friends. This might be hell for you, but he really wants you around.

7. He tries to hold you while you're sleeping. You might wake up annoyed and sweating, but he just wants to cuddle.

8. He wants to know you got home safe. Don't roll your eyes. There's genuine concern in that "r u home?" text.

9. He cancels plans for you. You take precedent over guy's night and sports schedules. 

10. He teases you, in a good way. He can make fun of you in a way that makes you laugh, not in a way that makes you cry quietly in the bathroom later.

11. He remembers every little conversation you've had. That time you rambled about your nail polish preferences? He was paying attention THE WHOLE TIME, and buys you the right ones for your birthday.

12. He compliments you when you're not wearing makeup. Hell, he might not even notice you're not wearing makeup.

13.He replies back instantly to you (And its not always about sex)

14.He knows to TREAT YOU LIKE A LADY-Chivalry is not dead.He opens the car door for you,Walks on the outside of the sidewalk and sheilds you from other unwanted men

15. He thinks your annoying habits are cute. Even the thing where you separate all the foods on your plate with bread so they don't touch.

16. He loves showing off your accomplishments. "This is my girlfriend, she just got her master's and got a job a week later and is so smart and beautiful and it's she great?"

17. He remembers something you mentioned you hated one time, and never does it again. May you never fear sitting on a cold toilet rim in the middle of the night.

18-He Likes To Make An Ass of Himself-Anything to make you smile Whether its a dancing class you take together and he has 2 left feet Look into the effort he is taking

Gym Diaries#Etiquette! Dont Be A Jerk In The Gym

Oh my lord. That's what I was saying to myself at the gym the other day as I got on a treadmill and noticed the puddles of sweat left behind from a previous exerciser. Sigh.Yikes.Not just that a girl chattering away on her cell phone on her so called cardio day on the treadmill.If that's not all I see people flinging weights wildly, dropping heavy weights on the floor,and the words Excuse me,Sorry and Thank you is not applicable anymore....What has the world come to???Rather what has the gym come to?Though there may not be rules posted around the gym for how to act, there are some unspoken rules that all of us should be familiar with, whether we're veteran exercisers or we're just starting out

Clean up After Yourself. My biggest pet peeve is someone who walks away from a machine, leaving a slimy pool of sweat behind. Thanks! Always bring a towel with you and wipe the machines down when you're finished. Most gyms offer wipes or sprays strategically located around the gym for this purpose.

SHUT UP-Most gym-goers I know have seen That Guy. The one pumping away on the treadmill while screaming into a cell phone. Unless it's an emergency, save your chat-time for after your workouts.

Share. If you're doing multiple sets on a machine, it's common courtesy to let others work in during your rest periods. This may not always be practical, but offer to share whenever you canCover it up. I respect the confidence that allows some people to walk around the locker room naked. Know what else I respect? Seeing you wearing a towel after your shower to keep the locker room a comfortable place for everyone.

Don't hog the treadmill. Many gyms have time limits on cardio machines during busy hours. There's a reason for that, and you should obey it. And no, throwing your towel over the display doesn't fool me.

Chivalry. My next biggest pet peeve is the person who leaves six million pounds on the leg press machine. I don't know, maybe I look stronger than I am. The point is, always put your weights back when you're finished.

Don't drop or throw the weights down. That's a great way to break a toe--yours or someone else's. If you're using a heavy weight, have a spotter nearby to help you.

Jennipha-Lauren Nielsen

Tell us what does fitness mean to you

Fitness is part of my perfect formula. As a Miss California, I was shown the importance; beauty, brains and determination that plays in a girl’s success. Studies have shown people who workout regularly are better able to manage stress and are better organized to seek out success.

Tell us a bit about your journey so far

I have been small, I’ve been large.... 100 KG!! So no girl can say I don’t understand. You can be your best or worst but is always up to you. In my 20s my intestines developed a condition, where I gained 50 kg. They were able to fix the problem but it was up to me, to lose the weight. Today I am grateful for the experience.

With Friend Aamer

Your fav workout?

I developed a workout routine that utilizes my 20+ years of ballet with a blend of light weight training and balance work. My tools of choice are the BOSU, stretch-bands and two 8 pound weights. Starting with yoga/ballet stretches sometimes for an hour. Concentrated stretching is a workout, don’t be fooled, expect to sweat. Flexibility is so important as you age. Have you seen your grandparent unable to bend low, struggle to pick things up and tie their shoes….. its about maintaing flexibility. As I age it may take longer but my flexibility is still there because NEVER STOP STRETCHING! Using the BOSU, I use my core and do a lot of balance work . This is great for women looking to get and KEEP a strong, lean body. Focusing on the skeletal muscles is so important. You will find your entire life changes the stronger and healthier your body is. I walk taller, straighter when I work out. My shoulders naturally fall back slimming my entire figure.

Tell us what you love wearing when you workout

My UNIFORM ! Exercise pants, tank and trainers. I really feel wearing proper workout clothes helps to keep my head in the activity. Putting on my uniform, my whole self prepares for the activity I’m about to take on. 

What motivates you

Personally I found using exercise as the “reward", is a great way to look at it. Get my project done, clean the house or finish at the office and hit the gym! I’ve developed such a positive connotation to going to the gym, my mood is elevated just thinking about it…. like ice cream !

Your role model is?

My auntie and father. Earliest memories watching my aunt putting her hair up in hot rollers while working out on a stationary bicycle. She is now in her early 70s and is mistaken for a woman in her 40s. She showed me that if you care for your mind, body and soul… as your temple it should be treated that way.

Give us some advice on fitness and eating habits

When it comes to food, I don’t mess around. My basic diet is meat and vegetables. I eat lots of cheese and fruits that are low in sugar. Avoiding breads, rice, noodles as it can cause to much yeast to form in the body. BUT… now that is a big but, if I feel like a muffin, toast, chips, chocolate, cake or anything else… I EAT IT. Eating healthy in my book isn’t able denying yourself but remembering treats are treats not stables!

Stress is a big factor what can you say about it

Working out to Sade, is great ! It calms my mind and I feel sexy moving to it. Her songs keep a good beat and my motions are fluid. I keep headphones in, once she sings I close my eyes and I am in my own world. It is a sensual experience. Hear good things, see good things and feel good. In my line of work I’ve seen the worst of the world and the best as well. Life is about balance, be like the surfer… find yours and ride the wave.

Your fav dessert

For me its always fruit and not just for dessert, love it all year round. Traveling internationally my work allows me to experience foods I might never have experienced. Partial to exotic fruits.

Give our readers especially the women out there some beauty tips Lots Sleep, water and low stress, make a point to be grateful. Living in grace is the key to a long and happy life. Its amazing what wonderful things are in store. Live with an open heart and don’t be afraid to be the first to smile.

Muscle Makeover -BUTT!

Well you gotta admit we all check out the butt!! Someone walking in the room or leaving,a good butt makes a great impression for both men and women. so If you've been focusing a great deal of attention on building your upper body and are now finding that your lower body could use some work, you need to start making use of the following tips.

The great news is that as you train to improve your butt, you’ll also hit the hamstrings and quads at the same time, providing a very well-rounded workout plan. 

Do Full Squats

Squats should be a part of any lower body workout program, but when doing your them, one thing to focus on is squatting as low to the ground as possible. 
Many people only go down to 90 degrees and while this may be necessary if you suffer from knee pain, but men who don’t suffer from any need to go all the way down.The lower down to the ground you go, the more effective that squat is going to be. It’s during the lowest portion of the exercise that the glutes are most stimulated.

Add Jump Lunges To Your Protocol

One overlooked exercise that’s great for your butt is jump lunges. You know the regular lunge provides a peak muscular contraction, but by adding a jump into the mix, you’re also boosting your power capabilities as well. Jump lunges will cause every single last muscle fiber to contract in the glutes, ensuring optimal stimulation.

Finish Off With Endurance Walking Lunges

After you've finished an intense lower body workout, perform a set of walking lunges until you’re fully fatigued.  This is a great way to maximally exhaust the glutes, especially when the quads and hamstrings are already fatigued from all the squats and deadlifts you've already done.

Alternate Between Dead lifts & Squats Forming the foundation of your lower body workout program should be dead lifts along with squats. However  if you are just starting a workout regime because both of these workouts are so intense -- be sure to perform them on alternating days and not both in one session. For those who have been lifting for a while now this is magic for your legs and can be done on the same day

Uphill Sprints/Brisk Walking

If you typically perform your interval Cardio sessions on flat ground, crank things up by going up a hill instead.This not only pushes your cardiovascular system to the max, but it’ll also help build lower body muscle.For those who perform their cardio activities on the treadmill its time to hit the uphill button and feel the burn on ur butt and legs Furthermore, after an intense uphill sprint training workout session, you’ll burn calories faster for hours following the workout.
So people revv up your metabolic rate  through these workouts and attain a great butt.until my next blog stay sexy ;)

MEN TALK-Things Men Never Notice About Women

Men are notoriously bad at picking up on small details. Thats a fact no wonder i see so many angry gfs and wives expecting a compliment everytime we think we have done something new.It’s not because men don’t care, it’s because they not paying attention to what’s going on. Don’t hold it against them, but it’s a miracle they retain information like what our face looks like, let alone that the blue shirt we are wearing is different than the blue shirt we have seen you wear before.

This is what men say
Shaved/unshaved legs. Unless you’re coming at us like Sasquatch we probably can’t tell you have a little bit of stubble on your legs.

New jeans.  We can’t even tell the difference between our own jeans, let alone yours.

No makeup. Women never believe this, but sometimes we don’t notice you’re not wearing makeup. We really don’t. And then we get yelled at for lying. This is one of life’s greatest mysteries.

Cellulite. Everyone is more critical of their own body. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen cellulite, but the countless times I’ve been called a liar tell me otherwise.

A new haircut.  Unless you shaved your head, we’re not going to realize your hair is half an inch shorter.

Circles under the eyes. Sorry for getting lost in the vast and beautiful wilderness that are the deep pools of longing also known as your eyes and not noticing that you look kind of tired. HOW AM I IN TROUBLE NOW?

Blush . We don’t know what blush is, so how can we even tell when you’ve changed it?

Some new decoration in your room. I’m not spending the next 20 minutes going on a scavenger hunt to find the one new coaster in your living room.

A new shade of lipstick. Listen, there is the color “red lipstick.” That is the only color of lipstick I’m aware of. I don’t know what all these other colors are, but they’re not real.
Men are nodding their head and women are smiling
so ladies cut men some slack!!! until my next blog stay sexy

Look Younger Ladies-Avoid These Diet And Beauty Mistakes

1-YO YO DIETING

We all know that Yoo yoo dieting  isn’t great for our bodies. But it turns out that rapidly and repeatedly losing and gaining weight actually makes us look older, too—yo-yo dieting alters the ligaments in the face that support the soft tissue, thereby changing the actual shape of the face. According to the article, changes in facial shape can make us look older. 

THE fix: Find your ideal weight and maintain a healthy diet and exercise plan to help you stay there.

2-Wrong lipstick shades can age you Another trick to looking younger is to steer clear of brown lipstick shades. Avoid matte lipstick as they tend to settle into your lip lines. Instead, try creamier lipsticks or glosses. (Glosses are especially youthful and make your lips appear bee-stung). 

3-Not Standing up straight. Think about all the sexy women you know. They stand up straight and confidently. Not only will this make you look ten pounds thinner in seconds, it will make you look five years younger as well. 

4-SMOKING--The moment you take a drag on a cigarette you are beginning to shave years off your life. The longer you smoke, the more severely cigarettes age you. When you smoke, you increase your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, lung disease, eye disease, bone disease and cancer of almost every organ. And you probably also look older too. 

Smoking causes prominent crow's feet, deep creases, and smoker's lines around the mouth. Tobacco smoke compromises the production of collagen, elastin and skin proteins that make skin strong and elastic. Without the support of these skin components, the skin degrades faster and more severely. Tobacco smoke also produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that accelerates skin aging. Nicotine may also be involved in premature smoking-related aging because it constricts blood vessels, blocking nutrients from reaching skin cells, which in turn wither and die. And speaking of dying? Smokers die on average 10 to 14 years before nonsmokers. And death is pretty much the most extreme form of premature aging there is. 

5-NOT USING SUNSCREEN 
When you use sunscreen , you're not just helping to protect yourself from diseases like skin cancer ; you're also helping to prevent the signs of skin aging that come from sun exposure. Skin that's left naked in the sun ends up more discolored and wrinkled and less elastic than skin that has been steadily shielded from UV radiation.

In fact, what most of us think of as "aged skin" is, more specifically, sun-damaged skin 

5-STRESS

Situations that cause prolonged angst can also affect facial appearance. And it’s not just a question of dark circles or wrinkles—stress can lead to acne, brittle nails, hives and even hair loss. Plus, those under a lot of stress tend to neglect their skin, which can compound the situation. Worse still, chronic extreme stress doesn't just have the power to make you appear older, it can actually cause you to become physically older.

The fix: While you can't necessarily avoid a divorce or quit your job, you can seek out ways to help deal with that stress.  So whether it’s yoga, kick-boxing or meditating, find something that helps you DE-stress and unwind.

6-EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR

When you consume sugars, they are converted to glucose in your body and enter the bloodstream, where they then search out and attach to skin proteins. Once attached, they form new molecules called advanced-glaciation end products, or AGEs. What does that have to do with your face? The more sugar consumed, the more AGE s you create, and these AGEs mess with your body’s collagen and elastin, which help maintain your skin’s firmness and elasticity. In short: too much sugar leads to sagging, wrinkled skin.

The fix: Reduce the amount of AGEs your body produces by avoiding sugary products, especially the processed foods they tend to hide in. Know sugar by its many names: corn syrup (especially bad is high-fructose corn syrup), glucose, fructose, dextrose and sucrose are among the more common ingredients, while saccharose, treacle, xylose, dextrin and maltodextrin are some of its trickier disguises.


7-NOT EATING ANTIOXIANTS

ANTI OXIDANTS are widely believed to be beneficial for both cardiovascular health and cancer prevention. They're found in all sorts of foods, including fruits, vegetables, seafood and oils. Antioxidants' free-radical-fighting activities destroy molecules that can damage healthy cells, and as it turns out, they're as great for skin cells as they are for every other cell in the body.

While many different antioxidants can be beneficial to the skin, two in particular get lots of attention:

• Vitamin c -- Builds Collagen for plump, tight skin. Find it in whole grains, apples and citrus fruits
• Vitamin e -- Protects cell membranes and "boosts" skin-based nutrients that fight off UV damage. Find it in wheat germ oil, almonds, and peanut butter.
•
