Love Tips

If your focus is on attracting love into your life whether it’s a new love or spicing up an current love feng shui will help you create the energy to make that happen. It makes sense that many Feng Shui tips are going to focus on the bedroom when you want to attract love into your life. And by making just a few small changes, you will begin to see that love is easier to find than it once seemed.

Get a Bigger Bed

When you want to make room for love in your life, it makes sense to get a bigger bed. When you have more space in your bed, this will attract the energy that you want to find someone to take up this space and to be with you. For example, if you have a twin or a full bed, upgrade to a queen or a king bed. You don’t have to get the biggest bed in the world, but getting one that is larger than the one you have will help improve the Feng Shui of the room. A special tip for king size beds….if yours has two twin box springs under the mattress you could be doing more harm than good. The energy from these can split your relationship instead of keeping it together. If this is your issues place something red over the seam where the two box springs meet and your relationship will be good to go!

Open Up a Window

Allowing energy to flow in your room is easy when you open up a window. By taking some time to allow the energy to move from the inside to the outside and back again, not only are you letting the energy breathe, but you are also ridding the bedroom of any stagnant energy which may be stuck there.

Get Rid of the Laptop

Your bedroom should only be used for sleeping and for sex – that’s all. Make sure to remove anything from your sleeping space that is not specifically for the enjoyment of your bed. While books are nice, televisions and computers should be removed immediately, according to Feng Shui.

Brighten Up Your Space

The more light you have in your room, the better the energy in your bedroom will be. Make sure to take some time to use candles and to bring in more lights in order to keep the room lit up with fresh energy as often as possible. This way, the energy of love can easily ‘find its way’ into your life.

Add Cheery Art

If you’ve covered the walls in depressing pictures, you might be doing the opposite of what Feng Shui teaches. Instead, you want to choose cheerful and brightly colored pictures that attract joy and love in your life.

With just a few little Feng Shui changes, you can make sure your bedroom is attracting love, but also happiness.

Collage Love Tips

A collage montage, collage from the French word coller meaning to stick and montage to put smaller things together, is the construction of an art piece using a combination of materials then sticking them onto a solid surface such as a canvas or in the case of this exercise a large sheet of paper.

It’s a wonderful self help tool to allow gentle self healing to occur, and spiritual connection a by-product of this exercise.

I’ve completed this exercise by myself and also in groups with the aim of spending time in quiet reflection and constructing a collage montage on how we ‘see’ ourselves, our likes and dislikes, what or who we aspire to be and connecting with our spirituality. It’s a lovely way of getting to ‘know thyself’ in a different way.

My favorite collage montage slowly took shape with pictures of unique and unusual water fountains, fresh and dried herbs, exotic colored glass jars; a multitude of candles in varying shapes and sizes, rustic indoor and outdoor furniture, and stonewashed walls of ochre. Hues of pink, blues, greens and yellows were highlighted, in dispersed with sun, blue skies, and candlelight as well as pictures of cows, goats and chickens, and little cherubs.

If you’d like to try a collage montage as a self help and self healing tool first write down what your intention is. For example “I want to create a collage montage of my likes and dislikes” or “I intend to manifest financial abundance into my life starting from today”.

Once you have your intention clearly written down, it’s time to gather your materials. You’ll need the following:

** 1 x A3 size sheet of paper in color of preference
** 1 x scissors
** 1 x craft or paper glue
** Magazines, newspapers, old picture books
** Colored pens or pencils
** Water paints
** Assorted paint brushes
** Aromatherapy oil blend of your choice (optional extra)
** Relaxation music (optional extra)
** Bowl of water (refill with clean water as needed)
** Colored glitter
** Any other material you can think of
** Paper towel
** Plastic tablecloth
** Some quiet time to complete your project

When you’re ready to start, take a few deep breaths to centre yourself first. Allow your mind to become quiet and close the door to the outside world for now.

Choose a starting point and let the pasting begin, with pictures that speak volumes to you, adding other materials as you go along.

When you sense the collage is finished, stand back and reflect upon your masterpiece. Does it need more or not?

Working on your collage montage as a self help tool to self heal, can have meditative like qualities as you quietly choose pictures and other materials to build a story about you. Collage Montage’s are easy to construct, with no right or wrong way in completing them, after all, it’s your story.

Teenage love tips

Going on a first date can be awkward for boys as well as girls. You and your date both want to make a good impression on each other. You're probably both a little nervous and conversation may come hard.

There are some things you can do, however, to break the ice on that first date. And while you're breaking the ice, you can be observing your guy to decide whether you want a second date with him.

Dating Tips for Teenage Girls #1: Go to a Movie or Concert

This will allow you to spend a few hours together without struggling to find something to say. Afterwards, the show you just saw will give you plenty to talk about. While you're evaluating the show, you can be evaluating your date as well. Do you and he share a sense of humor or a similar sense of values? Does he laugh at things you find offensive?

Dating Tips for Teenage Girls #2: Do Something Physical

Go indoor rock climbing, challenge him to a good, hard game of tennis, or suggest a bowling match. Until you know him better, avoid activities like hiking that will put the two of you together in an isolated area. Observe his attitude and see how does he react if you win? Does he get sullen and resentful, or is he pleased for you?

Dating Tips for Teenage Girls #3: Double (or Triple, or Quadruple) Date

Go out with other couples to get some pizza or see a movie. The more people there are, the more easily the conversation flows. Watch your date as he interacts with other people. How does he treat the other girls? Is he pleasant, or does he make crude remarks that annoy the others?

Dating Tips for Teenage Girls #4: Make a Study Date

Meet at the library to catch up on school work. Most libraries have private rooms study buddies can reserve. As you work and chat together, observe his behavior. Does he do his share, or does he count on you to do the majority of the work? Does he know how to work through a problem, or does he get easily frustrated?

A first date can be every bit as awkward as a job interview. But these dating tips for teenage girls will allow you to have fun with your date, while at the same time keeping an eye out for personality traits you may find undesirable.

Romantic love tips

Does the thought of writing a love letter or poem automatically reduce your vocabulary to a 5-year-old’s level? Well, believe it or not, that’s a great place to begin!

Kids speak straight from the heart. They don’t worry about tripping over the right words, they only know how to say what they want using the most simple language. As adults, we let our thinking get in the way of our emotions and worry about the details before we have the big picture.

Dream up a love letter
You don't need a sample love letter or a free printable love letter. You're going to dream up your own romantic love letters.

An indispensible tool for writing is a thesaurus. You'll find many free ones online; they're a wonderful aid to finding exactly the right word. Have paper and pen ready to jot notes, but forget about words and writing for now.

Sit in a comfortable chair or lie down, let your shoulders drop and take a few deep breaths, at least 5 or 6. Inhale deeply, feel the air going to the bottom of your belly, then slowly exhale as you pull in your abdomen.

Close your eyes and begin visualizing the one you love and create a movie of you slowly running your eyes over every inch of their body. What do you especially appreciate? View their eyes looking back at you, run your fingers through their hair, caress their cheek and softly brush your lips against theirs. See the smile of joy, the tilt of their head towards you, their arms around you. Feel their heart beat against yours and take in the warmth of their skin. Watch as they run towards you, eager to rush into your arms. How do you feel?

Let your movie continue running. Pull out the memories of when you had a lot of fun and laughter, your most passionate times together or when you were sad and your love silently held you close. Which of them brings up the most emotion in you? What do you see, hear, taste, touch and feel? What are they wearing .. . or not wearing?

Linger a bit longer; let the feelings run throughout your entire body. Are you getting little tingles running up and down your spine?

First love letter steps
The most emotional memories are the ones that will fuel your love letter or poem. You should be in a better mood for writing, relaxed and smiling. Take a few more deep breaths before you begin to write.

You don’t have to get up; this might put you into “thinking” mode. Begin jotting notes down. Slowly replay each movie and describe the scenes with short, simple phrases, as a child would. Later on, you can link these shorter phrases into longer ones, but for now, you want to capture all the sensations, physically and emotionally, that being with the one you love means to you.

Love and emotions are abstract concepts so you need “furniture” to make it real. Your movie gives you this material. Relate the juicy details of the surrounding scenery, your love, what all your senses experience and add them to your love letter.

Now put it all together.

Instead of "When you walk into a room and smile at me, I forget what I'm thinking," add the furniture. "You quietly glide into the sunlight streaming through the window, your silky hair falls over your shoulder. And then you gently tilt your head towards me and flash me that quirky little half smile of yours that gets my heart beating faster, my lips tingling .. . and I forget everything I ever knew as our eyes meet and lock into an embrace."

No fancy words, there’s only two words that have three syllables!

The "Laundry List" technique
If you find this difficult to do, the “laundry list” technique might work for you. Simply list all the qualities you appreciate about your love: physical, emotional, gestures, favorite sayings, funny habits. For physical, start at the top of their head and work down to their toes. For emotional, list different situations and how their response makes you feel.

Or you could make a list of all the dreams you both have and how you want to be together to share them.

Find a clip art heart (usually available in a word processing program) and use it as a bullet before each item in your list. Or give it a number, “101 Ways I Love You.” Then print out your list on fancy paper. Add a photo of you both, either digitally or glue it on afterwards. Spray on a little cologne (at a distance) and, voila, you have a romantic love letter.

Love Poems
A love poem can be the most daunting to attempt and many won't even try. If you really want to make up a poem, but feel you have no talent, cheat a little! Look up a favorite poem and see if you can change a few lines to personalize it. Or do the same with a favorite song lyric, then perform it karaoke style. Go all out and dress up for the occasion.

If you have a special occasion you’re celebrating, you may want to have a poet put your feelings into a formal poem for you. Reciting the poem will make a bigger impact than just handing it over and as it may be gift wrapped, make sure you have a copy to read aloud.

Once you get the hang of it, romantic love letters will flow from your heart and fingers. Remember the little kid in you and keep it simple.

Daily love tips

Are you thinking of updating the contact lenses you wear? Odds are that you only require a spherical correction and can wear soft contact lenses. I say that because statistically, most lens wearers use spherical soft lenses. Knowing this, you may want to consider daily disposable contact lenses. Below are 7 top benefits of wearing this convenient style of lens.

1. Extra pairs of lenses means you don’t have to worry about losing one. Daily disposable lens wearers know that if they lose or tear a lens, it does not matter. Think about it, when you buy a year supply of lenses, which is over 700 lenses! who cares if one gets lost?

2. Minimal clouding from deposit buildup. Lenses that are re-worn are prone to buildup of surface debris. With daily disposable lenses, there is hardly any opportunity for debris to coat up the surface and cause cloudy vision.

3. Small streamlined packaging makes it easy to store and keep your supply of daily use contacts.

4. Peace of mind in knowing that you are putting on clean and sterile contact lenses each and every day.

5. Single uses are arguably the healthiest lenses available. Because you are never putting the same lens back on your eye again, this style of contact lens provides you with a very healthy lens experience.

6. Easy to care for. Daily disposables are designed for single use wear. Meaning there is no care system or extra solutions to buy. Just the lenses.

7. Best for travel. You do not have to carry any extra saline solution when you go away. Simply drop a couple lenses in your bag and you are ready for your trip. (always pack an extra pair or two for peace of mind)

As of the date of this article single use lenses are available in some in toric and multifocal designs, but mainly in spherical corrections from +6.00 to -12.00. All available daily disposable contacts are soft lenses. I hope you consider asking your eye care provider about this amazingly conveneint and healthy modality of contact lens wear.

Tips to love

Trying to fight Google or be cleverer somehow is pointless, destructive and the wrong attitude.

Learn to LOVE Google and work WITH IT instead - and it will send you streams upon streams of people. It's as easy as pie if you follow these straightforward instructions.

1. Google Love ...

Google and all its programming is not some form of enemy - unless you are a piece of web scum, that is.

Google is based on the idea that it should help people FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

That's all.

Sit with the statement above. Meditate upon it if necessary. Use EFT.

But UNDERSTAND that a pointless site that has no unique content will NEVER get ANYWHERE with Googly or any other outfit that is using their techniques and methods.

You can buy books and ebooks until your wallet bleeds on "how to trick Google" this and that - just forget it.

Unless you have SOME THING that SOME PEOPLE will HONESTLY WANT and be grateful for when they find it, there is no hope and there is no point in reading any further.

Also, trying to fight Google or be cleverer somehow is pointless, destructive and the wrong attitude.

Learn to LOVE Google and work WITH IT.

If you have the contents, and you follow the most simplest common spider robot courtesy protocols, then it will come and it will index you.

It will be that mystical bridge between YOUR (customers, people, communities, friends) and your site.

That's what it does, that's what it is, that's it's nature and if you know that, then all is well.

You will get good results following the rest of this.

2. Dressing For Google ...

So now, let's have a DECENT website with DECENT content.

A decent website means:

- All the pages and directories have links that work properly and allow Google to slide with immense ease from one place to the other, without ever hitting an annoying dead end;

- All the pages are cleaned up so that you have the absolute MINIMUM of html instructions and nothing that doesn't need to be there, such as vast and pointless java scripts or the truly appalling "mso" instructions;

- All the pages have the right meta tags which ACCURATELY REFLECT what's on them, and including title, content, description, keywords at the very minimum;

- All your pages have proper headings and descriptions and content WHICH MATCHES your meta tags to a T;

- All your images are title and alt tagged CORRECTLY and resident on your own site.

Decent content means:

- Whatever you've got, it is USEFUL. If it is UNIQUE, so much the better, and that's not hard. All you need to is to be yourself and use your own words, even if you are affiliate - write your own reviews, put your own dog's picture on it, be unique, be YOURSELF.

- Whatever you've got, I'm sure there's some people who want to look at it, read it, do something with it. There's billions of people out there. Just make sure YOU KNOW WHO YOUR PEOPLE ARE and write to THEM.

- Decent content also means that what you've got is presented so that both Google and a human being get it what that is all about.

When your website is up and running, test, test and test again. Try every single hyperlink on your own computer, on someone else's and on all manner of different browsers.

Love poem tips

As the traditional book publishing industry becomes warier of risk and more dedicated to sure-thing titles by celebrity authors, movie tie-ins, and self-help books, poets in particular can find it hard to find a foothold.

While artistic success in poetry might simply lie in the writing itself, commercial success can be trickier to achieve. For the poet, the dream of keeping pace with best-selling authors like J.K. Rowling, John Grisham, and Danielle Steel may be an aspiration that’s hard to reach. This doesn’t mean that poets cannot find success in publishing poetry, though; success can be achieved by marketing in the right way to the right people.

Nurturing an audience hungry for published poetry:

For many poets, the joy of poetry is in the expression itself. Others find that sharing their poems with an appreciative audience brings a heightened sense of fulfillment.

The poet seeking to market their writing must be willing to search out and find their audience, an audience hungry for poetry. A strong DIY ethic serves the poet well in accomplishing this task. Promoting on a “grassroots” level is often the best way for an aspiring poet to find their niche audience, which is frequently a group of other writers who share a passion for poetry.

While self-publishing is the poet's greatest tool when it comes to getting published, traditional publishing can still play a role in building an audience. If a poet is lucky enough to be accepted by a large-scale, traditional publisher, the accomplishment should be celebrated. It’s an invaluable accomplishment to build on. The downside is that in the industry, poetry books do not receive much in the way of a marketing push. In the gambler’s game of publishing, publishers stack their odds by putting all of their marketing efforts towards a few selected titles in hopes of creating bestsellers, while leaving a sea of titles neglected. Unfortunately, the bestselling titles are rarely collections of poetry.

Instead of becoming frustrated by large national publications, concentrate locally. In addition to self-publishing, small or regional literary publications are the most sensible places to submit works if you're looking to publish traditionally. Not only will you have a much greater chance of being accepted, but other networking opportunities can arrive. Through small-scale local publishing you can begin building an audience. Additionally, these publications often include classified listings for local and online writer’s groups.

Writer’s groups can provide a supportive environment and constructive criticism, both which can help refine the poet’s skills and voice. Sharing work with peers is satisfying to many poets, and will provide a diversity of opinions and advice. Poets who have trouble finding a local group can turn to technology to find a community. Search for writer's groups on Facebook or find other writer's forums and start social networking with other authors. Online writer's forums can provide valuable connections and feedback as well, but unfortunately, they lack the face-to-face contact that offers the poet the best chance to see how their words affect others.

Poem Publishing for the DIY Poet:

The rise of self-publishing technology has given writers, poets and artists with niche audiences more control over their own destiny. For the first time in history, the tools of the publishing industry are available to writers everywhere. Instead of a small number of people deciding what gets printed and what doesn’t, anyone who has the will to write has the freedom to pursue publication.

Poets in particular stand to gain greatly from the ongoing development of self-publishing and new publishers. One such publisher is Wordclay, an online publisher where authors can publish books for free. A poet can now create an attractive, professional presentation of their work, and make it available to the audience they have worked so hard to cultivate.

By combining the new technology and freedom offered through self-publishers and using a grassroots mentality to develop a niche audience, poets can enjoy the success of book publishing along with the pop-fiction novelist.
