Relationship Perspective: He Doesn’t REALLY Want the Perfect Woman He Wants These 3 Things from You Instead

How much time do you spend trying to be the kind of woman you think men want? If you’re like most women, it’s a LOT. You spend all this time making yourself look sexy and attractive. All this time presenting yourself as fun, interesting, worldly, and not needy in the slightest. You spend all this time showing him just how good you’d be for him… How amazing his future would be if he chose you as the woman by his side… And it doesn’t work. It never works. WHY? Why do you work so hard… And the guy in your life just takes you for granted, if he even notices you at all? It’s probably because he’s immature, right? He can’t recognize a good thing until it’s gone. Or maybe… It’s because you’ve been doing all the work for him.

 If He Doesn’t Work for Your Relationship, He Won’t Value It Fact: What men value most are those things they have to work hard to get. Hand a man a college diploma, and he won’t value it as much as if he’d had to put in years of study and effort to earn it. Hand a man the perfect girlfriend, and he won’t value her as much as if he’d had to woo her for weeks just to get her to go out with him. This is why playing hard to get works. But, as you’ve probably already noticed… There’s a BIG problem with playing hard to get. That strategy stops working once he’s actually got you. Something happens when guys decide they’ve won you. It’s almost like they think, “Game over.” Their minds are already on their next challenge. What is going on?! And how can you stop it from wrecking your relationship? It’s Not Just You—ALL Women Experience This (That’s Why They Ask for Help)



Many women give up on love. They never let themselves get too close to a man, for fear of scaring him off. But other women try a different approach. They get help. Relationship coach James Bauer is one of the people they turn to. He noticed that many clients were coming to him, complaining about guys who were blowing hot and cold. Everything would be going great, and then it was like… Something would change overnight. A guy who’d been warm, affectionate and interested would suddenly become distant. He’d no longer have any time for her. He wouldn’t smile in greeting. He’d stop making eye contact. His kisses were brusque. Wanting to help his clients, James investigated.

And what he discovered made sense of everything. He knew why these men were backing away. He knew what they needed … and what they weren’t getting. It didn’t come down to anything wrong with these women. Rather, it all came down to something he called “The Hero Instinct.” Most Women Do Something that Drives Men Away… Without Ever Realizing It One of the most wonderful things about women is how naturally caring they are. Look at you. You’re always there for your guy. You look after him. You always make time for him. You’d do anything for him. You never realize that, in the process… You’re actually taking something away from him. You’re taking away his purpose. You see, he wants to be your hero. He doesn’t want you to be his hero. Men love heroes. Look at how many grown men are still fascinated by Marvel comics and superhero movies. Every man on Earth, from the time he was a boy, dreamed of growing up to be the kind of hero who would save the world—and get the girl at the same time. Most men don’t get to indulge their world-saving side in their 9-5 jobs. Circumstances don’t call for them to rip off their corporate ties and spring into action, revealing their superman side. Maybe they can’t save the world. But they can still get the girl.

Getting the girl is a worthy challenge for an ordinary guy with the heart of a superhero. It takes superhuman confidence. Superhuman charm. Superhuman immunity to pain. Now, all he needs to find is… A girl who needs a hero. Do You Need a Hero? Let me guess… That’s not you. You’re strong. You’re independent. You can fix a leaky faucet. You can drive a stick shift. You can take care of yourself. You’re never going to make that Jerry Maguire mistake of looking for a man to complete you. Instead, you have a lot to offer a man. You’re generous. Kind. Loving. Giving to a fault. All you want is to find a man who’s willing to receive all you have to give. And that’s why heroes aren’t showing up in your life. That’s why you’ve ended up with so many takers instead. Guys who take everything you have and leave you high and dry. If you want a hero, then you need to advertise for one. Here’s how. 3 Ways You Can Invite a Hero into Your Life, Starting Today 1. Ask a guy for help.

Ask him for advice on buying a new computer. Ask him to listen to that weird rattling sound that’s started up in your car. Ask him to reach something on the top shelf. Then thank him warmly, with a great big smile of appreciation. No, that doesn’t make you needy. It makes you a woman with space for a man in her life. 2. Take pleasure in male company. Guys love women who appreciate men for just being men. So what if his apartment is a shrine to sports? So what if he spends hours on his fantasy football team? So what if his idea of a clean shirt is the one with the fewest wrinkles? He’s a guy. It’s okay. You don’t need him to be more like you, because you’ve got the feminine side of the gender equation covered. 3. Let him earn your respect. Superheroes love challenges. They don’t want to be given a gold medal just for showing up. They don’t want your love handed to them on a plate. They want to earn it. There’s one thing they crave even more than a woman’s eternal enduring love:

A challenge. So give him opportunities to prove himself. You don’t have to do the work of winning him over. Sit back, relax, and allow him the pleasure of winning your admiration.

12 Ways to Always Look Expensive on a Small Budget

 I can proudly report that I have never in my life purchased any expensive designer clothes at full price. If I’ve treated myself to something high-end, it’s been on sale (deeply discounted), but I am more than happy shopping at H&M, TopShop, or my favorite – Zara for the majority of my wardrobe. I’m always keeping an eye on my finances, and the trick is to make sure you’re buying the right kinds of pieces and caring for them properly so that no one would ever guess you paid so little for your outfit.

Here are some insider tips for how to keep a small budget wardrobe looking its very best: 1. If you find a great fitting coat or blazer that is made of a material that does not wrinkle easily, simply replace the cheap plastic buttons to immediately make it look more upscale.
You can order some online or go to your local fabric store.

 2. When picking out a handbag, stick to simple bags with little hardware and design since those are generally giveaways to a budget piece. A simple clutch or black satchel is classic and discreet.

 3. If you’re purchasing lower-priced pumps, opt for faux suede rather than faux leather (or worse, patent leather).

 4. Buy a steamer and get into the habit of giving your clothes a quick once-over before leaving the house. Wrinkles can even make expensive clothes look cheap.

 5. Get yourself a simple tank and a slip that hits above the knee. Since inexpensive clothing generally isn’t lined, you’ll need to layer to not only avoid your underwear showing to the world but to also help your clothes look more expensive.

 6. Fabric selection is key. Tweed, cotton, and linen often look expensive even if they’re not.

 7. If your winter wardrobe suffers due to pilling fabrics, just pick up a fabric shaver. It’s always sad having to give away your favorite sweaters when they begin to look worn out – this just may save them.

 8. If you have some more expensive pieces that you just love but maybe don’t wear anymore because of fit, it may be worthwhile to take them to a tailor. Even if you purchase something you really love but the fit is slightly off, a piece that is custom fit to your body will always look more expensive.

 9. Classic black always look more expensive and can hide the signs of a budget piece.

 10. If you purchase a piece that comes with it’s own sash or belt, it’s always best to swap it out for one of your more expensive belts. The cheap belts that are included are always a giveaway for a budget piece.

 11. Never wear shoes that are all sorts of worn out. Even expensive shoes that are worn to the grown can cheapen your entire look. Keep shoes together with a trip to the shoe repair to replace heels or fix up scuffs when needed. It’s worth the investment!

 12. Never over-accessorize. A beautiful necklace can really dress up a simple, inexpensive outfit, but too many accessories and you risk looking like you’re just trying to cover up a cheap outfit with more cheap stuff. Coco Chanel famously said “When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on,"

The 10 Best Celebrity Fragrances

Look what Cardi B did!!!!

It’s not difficult to know exactly what Cardi B was doing one year ago. That’s part of the nature of her fame. Her massively popular Instagram account (9.9 million followers and counting) leaves a robust bread-crumb trail from September 2016: She was hustling to promote club appearances in cities like Houston and Kansas City; she was basking in modest milestones like seeing one of her tracks playing on the Music Choice channel at a hotel; she was posting the few clippings that had acknowledged her presence at New York Fashion Week, like a small sidebar in an issue of the New York Post. No matter that the piece identified her as the “breakout” star of Love & Hip Hop: New York and mentioned only a few paragraphs down that she also happened to rap—she still captioned it

 “How cool is this,” followed by several flex emoji. But scroll up a few dozen flicks and, in mere seconds, you will be transported into the surreal daydream that is Cardi B’s present reality. September 2017: a video of Janet Jackson covering one of Cardi’s songs on her current tour. A Vogue headline reading “Cardi B Was New York Fashion Week’s Undisputed (and Uncensored) Front Row Queen.” A tweet indicating that Cardi’s song “Bodak Yellow” was the most-streamed single in America last week, played a total of 40.8 million times. For the past two weeks, the catchy, diamond-tough anthem has been sitting steadily at no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, second to only Taylor Swift. If it hits no. 1, Cardi will become the first female rapper in 19 years to top the chart with a solo single, a feat last achieved by Lauryn Hill.

Cardi B’s come-up has been quick, dramatic, and, above all things, transparent. When recording artists achieve the kind of mainstream success she has now suddenly attained, they sometimes have a tendency to erase or at least separate themselves from the less-than-illustrious parts of their past. But Cardi B presents her past as a crucial part of her present. She has worked her way up through several of the most stereotypically derided professions in American society (stripper, social media personality, reality TV star) without denying or diminishing any of those former selves in her process of becoming a formidable rapper. Actually, she’s found a way to put their hustle into her music. In the span of less than a year, the people who still do not take her seriously have become the punch lines.

“I remember walkin’ in the stores, I couldn’t buy nothin’ / They look at me stank,” she spits on her recent single, “Lick.” “Now I just walk in the stores, I like it, I cop it / I don’t even think.” It’s like rap game Pretty Woman, except she didn’t need Richard Gere’s credit card, because she’s got her own. You could call the Come-up of Cardi B a Cinderella story, but that wouldn’t be quite right: The Cinderella myth relies on some sort of ruse, a shamed secrecy about the truth of a woman’s past, and the outside agency of both a fairy godmother and a prince. Cardi B trimmed all that extra stuff from the story. She restructured the fairy tale into a one-woman show.

Or maybe a 10 million–person show, which is in its own way a thoroughly modern story. As is so often the case, Cardi B said it best herself, in a video she posted to Instagram about a year ago. She is addressing a criticism that so often trails powerful and sexually forthright women, that she “fucked her way to the top.” Lounging on a couch, she scrunches up her immaculately made-up face. “It’s like, do y’all know how I got put on? I got put on doing videos and people following me. Did I fuck my followers?”

She continues, staring defiantly into the camera. “Shit, I wish I fucked myself to where I’m at right now, that shit would have been easy. Fuck who? Who’s that powerful that I gotta fuck to get to where I’m at?”

Cardi (a proud Libra, just about to turn 25) was born Belcalis Almanzar, but at a certain point people just started calling her Bacardi. She is, to quote one of her most famous catchphrases, a “regula degula schmegula girl from the Bronx.” Her father is Dominican, her mother is Trinidadian, and her oversize attitude is classic New Yawk. She graduated from a performing arts high school in the Bronx, enrolled in a community college in Manhattan, and took a low-paying job at an Amish market to try to pay for her studies. When she realized she had to work much too hard to support herself through school—and, at the suggestion of a former boss at the market—she got a job at a strip club. Although she hid her profession from her family (“I told them I was babysitting for some real rich white people”), dancing in strip clubs gave her the funds to take control over many aspects of her life, like leaving an abusive relationship. “It really saved me from a lot of things,” she saidlater. “When I started stripping I went back to school.”

Her debut single, released during her first season on Love & Hip-Hop, was “Cheap Ass Weave,” a “remake” of Lady Leshurr’s viral freestyle “Queen’s Speech Ep. 4 (Brush Your Teeth).” Some were understandably skeptical that a social media celebrity–reality TV star could actually have bars, but the YouTube comments on the video were dotted with the word “actually.” As in, “cardi b actually sounds good” and “She can actually rap better than a lot of people” and “this sh!t actually sounds better than some of the dude rapping these days …”

Almost exactly 10 years younger than Minaj, Cardi B got her teeth fixed on reality television, mentioned it in her most famous song, and even tagged her dentist on Instagram. She has been open about getting her boobs done when she was 19, and she is still so pleased with how they turned out that last year she posted an Instagram video claiming that one of her greatest disappointments in life is that she cannot “suck [her] own titties.” When asked about her ass implants, earlier this month  on The Breakfast Club, she stopped to correct the interviewer—she gets ass injections, not implants. If you’re going to talk about Cardi’s body, her imperative is that you at least get the facts right. I’m not saying Cardi is an inspiration for getting plastic surgery (live your truth, whatever that means to you), but the finesse with which she has defanged the real-vs.-fake conversation is admirable and might make things slightly easier for some of the female artists who come up after her.

“Bodak Yellow” wasn’t even supposed to be The Hit. Shortly after she signed to Atlantic, Cardi’s new label put its promotional weight behind “Lick,” a hypnotic single featuring Migos member Offset (who’s now Cardi’s boyfriend) that appeared on her second full-length mixtape, Gangsta Bitch Vol. 2. But in keeping with the serendipitous and user-driven magic that has fueled Cardi B’s rise, it was this afterthought of a freestyle, riffing on Kodak Black’s “No Flockin,” that catapulted her to superstardom. Now, still without a proper album to her name, the woman who only just realized two years ago that she could actually rap is one of the most popular rappers in the country. A woman who, one year ago, was better known as an ex-stripper reality star than a rapper, is nominated for as many BET Awards as DJ Khaled and for more than Kendrick Lamar.

It is cosmically appropriate that as unlikely a pop hit as “Bodak” is, it must also contend on the charts with one of the most inevitable, by-default hit songs in recent history, Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do.” It’s a titan clash of new and old guard. Although Cardi, to her credit, seems to be one of the only people on the internet who has nothing bad to say about her rival’s song. On Thursday, she replied to one of Swift’s fans saying that Swifties sent their support and that “if anyone takes the number one spot from Taylor, we want it to be Cardi!” (She replied, “Awww that’s sooo sweet, I love me some Taylor Swift my freaking self.”) These are vertiginous heights for an artist like Cardi to find herself in this early in her career, and overnight success can easily evaporate in the morning. But Cardi’s come-up was never a Cinderella story. Glass slippers shatter, disappear, get left behind at the ball. Bloody shoes have yet to go out of style.

It's Fall Y'all! Lose Weight and Get Control of Your Life!

Struggling to stick with your diet program? You aren’t alone. Millions of people worldwide fall off diet programs every day.

Often, it’s due to a few key mistakes they’re making along the way. Let’s take a closer look at three powerful secrets for sticking to your diet plan. Put them into action and see the results you’re looking for.

Get A Diet Buddy

One word of advice: don’t go at it alone. Those who get a diet buddy will experience the high’s and low’s together. They stand a much better chance of success in the long run.If you can’t convince someone to diet with you, at least find someone who will support you and keep you accountable as you need it. You will hit hard times, and it will really help to have someone by your side. 

Use Hunger-Busting Strategies

Hunger is another reason why many people can’t stick with a fat loss diet plan. That’s natural, but avoidable. Either they cut their calories too much, or they lack foods that promote satiety.

Focus your diet around foods that break down and digest slowly. Lean proteins coupled with fibrous carbohydrates are the best choices, followed closely by small doses of dietary fat.While fat calories can add up quickly, small amounts can work wonders for hunger control.

Set Short Term Goals

Think about what you want to accomplish in two weeks. It can be beneficial to dream about your transformed body in a year’s time, but only in tandem with achievable short term goals. Otherwise you will lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you won’t lose all the weight in a week. Focus on the here and now. Find a program, such as The 2 Week Diet, that focuses on the coming weeks. Use that time to build good habits, and you will be prepared for the future months.

A woman on a diet has many suitors. The weight loss world is full of companies and self-appointed experts competing for her attention, often spreading misinformation and making  impossible promises. It’s so predictable. They just want to get into her….pocketbook.

If you’re a woman struggling with weight loss, there’s a good chance you have heard some unreliable information, causing you to make a mistake or two. Just a bit of misinformation can make weight loss seem like a code to crack.It doesn’t need to be as complicated as it seems. By learning these mistakes, you can quickly unlock your potential and get back to getting results.

Let’s look at four need-to-know weight loss mistakes.

Starvation Diets

If 1400 calories is good, 1000 must be better, right? Wrong. Your body needs fuel to burn fat properly. As strange as it may sound, if you cut your calories back too far, your body will actually begin conserving its store of fat.

Think about wild animals in winter. When they eat less and less each day, the body gets “worried” and prepares itself for continued scarcity of food. Your body is the same. Too little food, and it will preserve its energy stores (i.e. fat) as long as possible. You may experience initial success, but it will quickly plateau.

You want to use a moderate calorie deficit, like the one detailed in the 2 Week Diet plan. This plan ensures your metabolism stays highly active for optimized fat loss.

Overdoing Cardio Training

If there’s one mistake that most women make in common, it’s hours spent on cardio machines. While some smart cardio training (such as sprint training) can be beneficial for fat loss, there’s no need to chain yourself to the treadmill, bike, or elliptical. In fact, doing so can do more harm than good.

Alternatively, what you need is an easy-to-follow weight training program that focuses on key lifts that make you stronger.

Check out The 2 Week Diet workout program if you need assistance in this area. This program will streamline the top calorie burning exercises that firm and tone your body while helping you drop fat quickly.

Overcomplicating The Process

Finally, the last big mistake that many women fall prey to is overcomplicated programs. Diet plans with a million rules and regulations only lead to confusion, demotivation, and eventually giving up.

Simplicity is best. A few smart, easy-to-follow guidelines are most effective for superior results.Fat loss isn’t rocket science. It boils down to fueling your body with the right food choices and amount of energy. That encourages the body to burn fat cells for energy.

For a complete break down, consider using The 2 Week Diet plan, which has produced amazing results for thousands without making you feel like you need a Ph.D. in nutrition to succeed.If you see yourself making any of these mistakes, then forgive yourself, make a change, and get on track to a healthier, more energetic future.

Want to make the 2 week concept work for you? Check out The 2 Week Diet plan, which teaches you how to build proper habits over the course of two weeks. Equip yourself for a future of weight loss and health maintenance. http://eviedee02.2weekdiet.hop.clickbank.net   

Breast Cancer Awareness October

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s time to pull resources together to combat the disease. While multiple organizations that are actively fighting for a cure support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the American Cancer Society and Imperial Chemical Industries started the observance. Since 1985, every October has served as a time to focus on strategies, raise money for research and focus on new treatments aimed at eradicating this disease. While there are many aspects to creating awareness, the singular aim for the observance is to promote mammographies.

As October is dedicated to promoting breast cancer awareness, there are many national events that occur during the month. Fundraising activities, television and radio ads and pink ribbons are certain to be seen on a widespread level throughout October. You’ll also see specific events such as the National Race for the Cure, breast cancer walks nationwide, the Susan G. Komen 3 Day “For the Cure” and the Avon 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer throughout October. While there is great focus placed on women’s breast cancer, the third week of October is dedicated to the rare disease of male breast cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer nationwide. Early detection is key and the American Cancer Society recommends that women get mammograms in order to catch breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. Identifying breast cancer risk factors is also key to improving treatment and hopefully preventing new breast cancer cases.

As women age, their breast cancer risk increases. Certain gene changes ensue and there is little anyone can do to lower age-related breast cancer risks. Some breast cancer cases are genetic and heredity. Again, there is little that can be done to lower the risk of family-related cancers. While there are some risk factors that can’t be changed, there are other scenarios where our lifestyle choices can lower or increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Being overweight, drinking alcohol in excess, and using oral contraceptives can increase breast cancer risks. It’s important to speak to your health care provider regarding your personal lifestyle choices and to determine whether you might be at risk. Your health care provider can advise you of any changes you should consider making to reduce your breast cancer risk. In addition to having annual mammograms, women should know how to perform self-examinations as well as recognize the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. It isn’t enough to depend on a yearly mammogram. Know how to identify any changes in breast tissue and contact your health care provider immediately with any concerns.

Breast cancer awareness is important as it helps with early detection, but it is also important for those who’ve been diagnosed. Learning you have breast cancer is a scary event and those who find themselves facing the battle need support, resources and to develop an effective strategy. Those diagnosed will need to address their questions and concerns with their health care provider. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have and be persistent until you are satisfied with the answer. Make certain you understand the tests involved, what type of cancer you’ve been diagnosed with and treatment options.

How will you observe National Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Are you going to participate in a walk or run?

I SO Miss my Favorite Show Downton Abbey ...WAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I've recently been watching re-runs of one of my favorite Masterpiece Theatre productions—"Downton Abbey." I remember eagerly anticipating Sunday nights for the newest show, and now I get to look back at them anytime that I choose. Each time I do, I’m reminded of how great of a show it is. There are so many things to love about it!

 1.) The Castle-- First off, the location is amazing. England is absolutely beautiful in all seasons. The countryside is my favorite—the rolling hills, the sheep grazing, the old castles and cottages. The castle of Downton Abbey is amazing and has become iconic. The interior is incredible. I love everything from the Great Hall to the kitchen downstairs.

 2.) The Characters— All of the characters on "Downton," from the people upstairs to those downstairs, made the show what it was. Who didn’t enjoy seeing the blossoming romances between Bates and Anna? Or Branson and Lady Sybil? It was a pleasure to watch Lady Edith break free from her dull life to become the editor of Michael’s paper. It was heartbreaking to see Lady Mary loose Matthew, who seemed to make her a better person. I loved to watch Branson becoming part of the Crawley family and watch little Sybbie grow up. It was also nice to see Thomas Barrow’s character develop from a coldhearted man to someone who just wanted a place to fit in. And one of my favorite characters was Mr. Mason—I loved seeing his encouragement and love to Daisy, a girl who was very lost. There are so many characters’ stories to follow, and it is so interesting to watch them unfold!

 3.) The Relationships—I sort of touched on this already with the characters involved in the show, but it was interesting to see how the characters’ relationships overlapped. It was heartwarming to see how much Lord and Lady Grantham cared about their staff, even though the staff was considered beneath their notice. Even Daisy, who started out as a kitchen maid, was noticed by the Granthams (even by the Dower Countess, whom I think wasn’t as coldhearted as she may have appeared). Over time, it seemed that the relationships between the staff and the family deepened. It’s hard not to become emotionally attached to the characters as you watch!

 4.) The Time Period—I’m a real history buff, and this show does history right. The show’s historian makes sure that everything is kept accurate to the time period. I love seeing the costumes—Lady Mary and Lady Edith’s wedding dresses are some of my favorites! But there was so much more than just the costumes. The home furnishings were beautiful, from the dishes to the curtains. I also loved how they included the antique automobiles… especially once Mary’s second husband came into the series. The details made it so much more realistic to the time.

 5.) The Dogs—I loved seeing Lord Grantham with his animals. It was so sweet to see how much he cared about Isis, going for walks with her, looking for her when she was lost, or letting her into his bed as she was dying. It was adorable to see his reaction to the puppy as well. The pets really became a part of the family. And they were so cute! There are so many reasons to love "Downton Abbey"—the historical details, the costumes, the characters. It was a series that brought the past to the present, so that viewers could get a taste of the early 1900s. But what I love so much about it is the fact that although the people were from the past, they are relatable to today. It’s a series that I will watch over and over again!
