Ten Ways to Impress Your Girlfriend
January 13, 2010
We know what its all about guys… brownie points. You need a significant amount stored up for those days when you tell your girlfriend what you really think of her parents or some other thing you wish never came out of your mouth. Here are ten ways to impress your lady and rack up major brownie points in the process:
1. Give her flowers for no reason at all, just to say I love you [or if you are a wimp and you have not said I love you yet, to say I care].
2. Make her dinner and do all the dishes and clean up by yourself.
3. Call her at work and tell her you were thinking about her and just wanted to hear her voice [trust me this one is REALLY good].
4. Be nice to her cat!
5. Learn how to unhook a bra with one hand while kissing her. [Practice on a pillow. Its really annoying when guys can't do this, and a big turn on when they can.]
6. DO NOT look at other women when you go out on dates. EVER!
7. Keep track of little things she likes and her preferences. For example, if she likes honey turkey, pick up that brand and say “you like honey turkey right babe?” Big points.
8. Make a point of not looking at your phone when it rings now and then. When she asks if you are going to get that tell her, “No, the only person I want to talk to is right in front of me.”
9. Bathe
10. Take one for the team and suggest a chick flick.
Okay, go impress her!
A Proper Cleanse
January 10, 2010
I started a cleanse about a week before New Year’s because I have been working to get over mono all of December. I was so tired of being sick that I just wanted to feel better. In my head I was fully committed to eating only non-processed foods and drinking extra water. The last couple weeks have not really happened that way however. I found myself craving junk at some points for no apparent reason.
But what I have noticed is that now that I am almost at the end of the cleanse I crave the healthy fruits and veggies. I’ve made some really great homemade meals over the last couple days and my diet is much closer to the perfect diet I had in my head when I started the cleanse. I really don’t know if cleansing does much for you or not. What I think it does is make you more aware of the things that you are putting into your body and the way you are treating yourself; that I think is the biggest benefit of a cleanse.
Women have this tendency to want to be “perfect” all the time. If we slip up and eat something “off” plan we mentally bash ourselves instead of looking at all the good. Who cares if you eat off plan sometimes. I think if you are cruising from 80% and up with healthy food you’ll be just fine. So cleanse away but make sure that with your cleanse you are also cleansing your thoughts.
