Whatever you’re doing as a mother, it’s enough and you can probably relax and do even less. I understand where this comes from, I really do. Our society is harsh to women in general, but mothers in particular. Our husbands are given kudos for doing the bare minimum, while we are judged and ridiculed for not doing everything perfectly. That sucks, and women trying to give other women permission to relax and enjoy the ride come from a good place, I know....

“If she’s worth dating, my cat will cozy right up to her.” “My pets can always tell if someone’s a good person. Always.” If you’re thinking, “My dog doesn’t like my boyfriend,” the pet test can be a great judge of character.

Here are 10 accessories to wear that will instantly make you look 10 years younger: 1. Instead of matchy-matchy jewelry, wear one statement piece. Matchy-matchy jewelry screams old lady. In fact, any jewelry that comes from a set — like a pendant, bracelet, and earrings all sold together — should NEVER be worn all at once....

And while the number one thing people dream about (and want to dream about) is flying, not too far behind are “physical activities like having sex and playing sports.” We’ve all had a sexy dream or two, but what do the most common sex dreams really mean? According to Dr. Phyllis R. Koch-Sheras, clinical psychologist and author of “The Dream Sourcebook,” it’s important to think about how the dream itself makes you feel before jumping to conclusions in the waking world “Be careful taking on someone else’s interpretation of the meaning of your dream....

Despite our differences, we somehow fit. Last June, we celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary. We’re happier together now than we were on our wedding day, but that doesn’t mean that life has been perfect…or even easy. Along with all the good things (like the birth of our son Mason three years ago), we’ve had plenty of setbacks over the years, from soul-crushing jobs to my miscarriage last August. But we’ve managed to stick it out, thanks to our commitment to each other and some important lessons from people who love us....

Once we do, compassion and empathy will ooze out of us. We may even want to cry for them. Yet, we still have to parent, offer structure and guidance. Parenting a teen is no easy task. They seem hard to reach. Teens know too much to think if they share their pain with you, that you would be qualified to help them. Teens are in a tough spot and it often makes them feel frustrated and angry....

Remember, though: Nothing is real until you meet in person. What this means is that you don’t really know what it is going to feel like to be with this person until you are in his or her physical presence. Everything you are feeling is a fantasy you’ve created in your mind. This is not to be cruel or critical — just to point out the truth of the situation....

They’re somebody you just click with and you can’t get enough of each other. You’ve found your BFF! A best friend is special and rare. They’re someone you can trust and someone you know you’ll always have fun with. Good friends don’t come around often, but when they do, you’ll feel so grateful to have them in your life. It’s an amazing feeling to have that go-to person you can always count on for a good time!...

Your boyfriend may look like a man, but if his actions seem to reflect those of a 17-year-old boy, you may have yourself a “man-child.” We’re not talking about a guy who loves to play video games all day and eat Cap’n Crunch for dinner; this is about the deeper issues that can prevent you from having the relationship you want and deserve — now and in the future. Not sure whether this term accurately describes your guy?...

Meanwhile, others struggle with change, loss, and difficult circumstances. They lose their mind, become paralyzed, or sink into anxiety or depression — they are less resilient. Now, more than ever, resilience has become a hot topic as a key differentiator for happiness and success. So, what is resilience anyway? And what are the characteristics of resilience?

When that happens, music is a great way to get your emotions out, as the best love songs always seem to get it right. As Hans Christian Andersen said: “Where words fail, music speaks.” How to Choose a Playlist for Your Boyfriend or Husband Of course, it can be hard to find the perfect love song for your boyfriend.

Every parent wants to be able to do right by their kids. But there are many things that stand between you and being not a good parent, but the kind of parent your child needs. That’s the right way to look at it; good and bad are relative. But all kids need approximately the same thing in order to grow into happy, healthy, successful human beings. Parents neglect to give their kids what they need for a lot of reasons....

Articles telling you that guys standing around wagging their tongues over whatever the latest trend happens to be are just profiting off the idea that getting you to feel like you aren’t good enough to be loved as you are and in whatever outfits make you feel most comfortable will sell both magazines and clothes. We firmly believe that men and women alike should wear whatever makes them look and feel their best....

Charmer. Con artist. Chameleon. Master Manipulator. These are just a few names by which you may have come to know a sociopath, a single individual that experiences little to no conscious guilt, empathy, shame, or remorse and has an ongoing pattern of disregard for the rights and concern of others. If you find yourself dating a sociopath, you will know by the violations you are sustaining to your sentiments, physical being, sexual integrity, and/or finances....

Does it feel like you have to keep up with appearances or live up to everyone else’s expectations? On the surface, you may pretend you’re fine, but you’re really just distracting yourself from how you feel by focusing on everyone else except yourself.

Dating isn’t a thing to embark on when you’re broke, but sometimes we do it anyway. Because while our wallets might be empty, when our hearts are empty too, we’d rather focus on our hearts and let the chips (and credit card bills) fall where they may. But in terms of date night ideas, not everyone wants to drop serious dough on a trip to the movies, an extravagant dinner, or tickets to a show....

Suffice to say, having good chemistry is something pretty critical in relationships, but what does it actually mean? I use chemistry to describe that sweet spot where physical attraction and complementary personalities collide. But when it comes to what men think about good chemistry versus sexual attraction, things may be a little different. RELATED: What Happens To Your Brain On A Chemical Level When You Fall In Love? You see, men have their own version of what chemistry means, which is kind of nice because A) it means they believe that chemistry exists and want to seek it out, and B) because it proves that men are just as guilty as using this word in a myriad of different ways....

Some ways people shift their realities are through meditation, the law of attraction, or manifestation. However, there are alternatives that come in the form of very specific shifting techniques. Some of these techniques include the staircase method, the blanket method, the Alice in Wonderland method, and even quantum jumping, just to name a few.

People were born into this world to believe that they are meant only to serve those above them in higher places compared to their own. This is no longer the case in the world; although we still have a major role to play, it is time we recognize our fullest potential and claim what is rightfully ours as spiritual human beings. Do you suspect that you are experiencing a growth of spirit and consciousness?...
