Socks with Heels: Audacious or Not?



Socks with Heels: Audacious or Not?

Wearing socks with heels has been a trend for quite sometime overseas, but chicks in the US are starting to catch on! Rocking socks with heels can come off as cheesy and corny for those who are not open to different types of fashions, but to some, socks with heels can instantly give off an edgy , fashion forward look. This trend goes with any type of shoes you have in your wardrobe, whether its platforms, open-toe, booties, stiletto, boots or even oxfords, the list goes on! This is a brave, fearless and AUDACIOUS look, you should try it!
 
There are different types of looks you could go for: Mid-Calf, Knee-High or Ankle lengths. You can go with a soft look with pastel colors or finer fabrics such as lace. Pop some colour to your outfit with some ankle socks in colors like hot pink or electric blue, or tone it done with some nice knitted knee-high socks in brown, tan or even grey.

I like it! What about you?

When a Man Loves a Woman

When a man loves a woman
Here are some tips to being a great catch! When a man loves a woman,
there's no mountain he won't claim for you!

1. Cook a solid meal for your man!

- They say a way to a mans heart is thru is stomach! I find that to be
true! Make his favorite breakfast, or cook a memorable dinner! Make sure his belly is full of your greatness, not Ramon Noodles and Mc D's!

2. Be a contributor, not always a taker.

- Men pay for enough, how about you foot the bill sometime! Do
something special for him! Take him out to lunch!

3. Make sure your sex is memorable
- No man wants a boring woman in bed! What you WONT do, another woman is willing! I'm not telling you to down grade yourself, but try something new, have an open mind. Try surprising him with some sexy lingerie, try out a toy!





4. Make sure he's earning your loving, don't give it all in one..

Ex: Why buy the cow if you can milk it for free? Make sure that he earns your trust and your heart, don't lay everything on the line, instantly!

He'll appreciate the chase, the thrill!5. Let him Breathe, Boys night out are cool! Let him  have a life
outside the relationship
!

- He'll appreciate it and you will too! Don't you like your Girl's night out?



6. Set goals for your relationships! Neither one of you should get to
comfortable! Grow together!


- Learn from your mistakes and mishaps, listen and communicate with one another!

7. Change for the better, not for the worse! Inspire him to be better.

- No man or woman wants a mate to gain a MILLION pounds over time. Always look your best.
- Don't be a complainer, changing the situation. Try to find solutions to your problems

8. Stop nagging and complaining! Ugh! Talk, converse, stop the nagging!

- Enough said... Stop IT, bottom line


Here are some tips on becoming a better woman and a better partner. Although these tips will not guarantee you the man of your dreams, it will definitely make a good man stay around longer!

Audacious Eyes

Audacious Eyes

Want to change your natural look? How about sprucing your eyes with 
colored mascara! Eyes are usually the first thing people notice on 
your face, so why not flirt with a little color!

For a simple, subtle look, only apply the colored mascara to your 
bottom lashes! For an AUDACIOUS look, try adding colored eyeliner or shadow along with the colored mascara. Remember, colored mascara is used to enhance your eye color, not your eyelashes!
Colored mascara could turn any dull day into a bright one, celebrities 
all over are catching on to this trend. Try any purple, blue or green 
mascara of your choice!

Purple Mascara

Purple Mascara will look dark from a far, but it will bring out the 
browns, golds and greens that you have in your eyes!

Blue Mascara

Blue Mascara is great with brown or hazel eyes! If you choose to use a  blue eyeshadow, try a different hue of blue.

Green Mascara
Green Mascara can be the most intimidating of all the colored mascara! 
Green Mascara works well with ocean and pearl inspired colors.

Where to Buy:Urban Decay, Big Faty Colored:
$17.00/Sephora/Macy's

Almay Intense I-Color Mascara
$7.99/CVS

Medusas Make-Up Color Mascara
$9.00/Urban Outfits

The Art of "Courting"

The Audacity

The Art of "Courting"

Yes, I said it, courting! Courting is not a word used by today's 
society, most of us have heard it from our Parents and/or Grandparents! In my 
eyes, courting is another word for chivalry!!



Really, is Chivalry dead? Maybe it's dead in Atlanta! But, hey, maybe I'm wrong! I've ran into a few guys here that really want something for nothing!! Or they feel like "buying" a female will get them what they want! I'm not really the old-fashioned type of gal, but, I'm like every woman, I like to be pursued!

Guys, it's really not that hard! If you want "Us'" you have to work for "us!" Play your cards right and you will receive love and harmony in return! It's no distance a woman wouldn't  go for a man that she truly cares about!  Let me lend you a few tips!


1. Be sincere, don't run game!!

- Sincere is another way to use the word Honesty! I understand, some 
women can't handle the truth! But some of us can, try it! Sincerity, 
goes a long way! We want a man that means well and not a man that's
telling us BS! Be sincere, mean what you say and say what you mean!

2. Take us out!

-Initially, women doesn't want to "hang" out with you! We don't  want 
to "chill!" We don't want you to come to our house to hang out AND 
chill! Sit on our couch, watch our TV and eat our food; we don't want 
that! Simply put! All because, WE DON'T KNOW YOU! Remember, We are 
trying to get to know you! Hanging out and chilling comes later!
When courting a woman, take her out on dates! Dutch dates doesn't 
approve here! Dutch + Dates = Friend Zone! Believe me, you'll get 
treated like one! Be different and original! Dinner and movies can be 
fun, but eventually become mundane! Initially, dinner dates are a 
'go,' you can converse with one another in a mutual setting! To be 
different, try Going to a museum, concert or water park! Try having ice 
cream and a walk thru the park! Walking and talking is easy, open and 
laid back!

3. Open doors! All of them!

-Self explanatory! No woman should have to open any doors when she is 
with you! If you're BOTH getting into a car or walking into a 
building, go ahead, open her door, let her in FIRST!

4. Compliment us! Take notice!

- Every woman likes a compliment! Women spend valuable time to look as 
good as they do, compliment us! Take notice to our eyes, make-up, 
smile, outfit, shoes etc! One compliment goes a long way, it makes us 
feel special! Stay away from being a "creepy guy" though! Please don't 
over do it! Calm down on words like fine, sexy or bad, replace them 
with beautiful or gorgeous!

5. Try Phone conversations,  not just text convos

In the age of Technology, people want things fast and quick! Everyone 
texts, because it's so easy and convenient .... its Universal! It's 
not anything wrong with having small talk via text message, with your 
friend, co-worker or significant other! But, when you're getting to 
know a person put your fingers to rest! Call her, take time to really 
get to know her! Have a real conversation, ask questions!

6. Give us your undivided attention:

*Listen to what we have to say, give your input, have a conversation!
* Do things special, just because!
*Remember the simple things we say, use it "against" us.

Ex: If she tells you how much she loves Ciroc Red Berry, buy her 
bottle for her and her friends to drink on a "girls night out!"
Ex: She tells you that Maxwell is her fav artist, surprise her with 
tickets to the next show!
*** I bet she will be on your side****


I know chivalry is not dead, at least I hope it's not! I'm not saying 
that men should bend over backwards for every woman he encounters, but 
When men shows their interest and their intentions, woman come back 
harder an stronger! Good Luck
