February 29: Ladies, It’s Proposal Time!

Some people say that the tradition of proposing to your man was initiated by Saint Patrick or Brigid of Kildare in 5th century Ireland. St Brigid apparently complained to St Patrick that women were having to wait too long for proposals and he said, “Well fine, have one day every four years and be quiet about it, already.” Some say that a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland, required that fines were levied if a 29 February marriage proposal was refused by the man. 

And in Denmark, the tradition is apparently that refusal must be compensated by buying the woman 12 pairs of gloves to hide her wedding ring-less hands.

Whatever the reason, the 29th is your day, ladies. Get a tasteful ring, work out what you’re going to say.

Make its special, make it a moment that you will remember for the rest of your lives together..if he accepts..LOL..

The DO's and DON'Ts when it comes to proposing to your mann..

Do: express how you feel. You’d like him to tell you how much he loves you if he was asking you to marry him.

Don't: express how you feel too much. Men can get embarrassed if things get excessively mushy so don’t overwhelm him with romance. In other words, don’t have it raining rose petals and hold the fireworks.

Do: be confident. He probably loves you just as much as you love him.

Don't: expect an answer straight away. Unlike us, men don’t spend their whole lives dreaming about this moment. In fact, many even fear it. With this in mind, don’t be surprised if your man needs some time to think about it.

Do: ask if he wants a ring. He probably won’t but you don’t want to start your marriage with him resenting your lack of generosity.

Don't: he wants a ring and give it to him there and then.

Take into account what type of guy he is. For example, if he is the metrosexual type,buy him a watch. A watch is the perfect proposal gift for him, i mean its what i would get him.:-)

Bottom line,take it easy ladies, and remember he already loves you, thats why he is still with you.

Love, Light, Peace of Mind !!

 

Love Doesnt have to Hurt To Feel Good

The 5 Healing Colors, in preparation for the month of Love!

According to Chinese medicine. The “Five Healing Colors” can purify and heal all the pathways in the body, and the colors are traditionally used to harmonize the organs.

Blue: The healing color of the kidneys.

Red: The healing color of the heart.

Green: The healing color of the liver.

White: The healing color of the lungs

Yellow: The healing color of the soul.

In the past years i have experienced heartache, like I am sure all of us have.

The difference with each and every one of us is how we deal with this pain or heartache.

Before i go any further let me quote one of my favorite love songs. Its by a girl group called Atomic Kitten..ha ha!! Interesting name but does the trick, right?

Atomic Kitten Ladies Night Promo

"I learned a lesson in my life           

But I learned it the hard way                                      

I don't know why I used to fall in love

With the wrong kind                                                   

Then I suffer so much pain

But I only had myself to blame

maybe you came

In the nick of time to show me..love doesn't have to hurt to feel good...

Ladies this does not only mean that someone has to come into your life to teach you this lesson, you can overcome the pain on your own. Find positive outlets for your emotions, for example, if you get angry easily direct that anger towards something positive-scrubbing the bathroom floor.

Like Kelly Clarkson  Tells us in her latest track

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger..

Stand a little taller.

Doesn't mean am lonely when I'm alone..."

Heal before you love again.

The most important lesson I have learned is that you NEVER give up on someone you love. If you want to understand love, let me explain for you how i view love.


Single ladies like me, learn to love and embrace yourselves,think about it this way, if you do not love yourself, how can someone else love you?
Married women, its amazing to be married and settled having found your life partner and companion. But do not forget one thing, you were once single and in the dating game, do not make other single or dating women feel any "less" because they are not married. Remember. No one in this life COMPLETES you, they COMPLEMENT you. hence the word COMPANION.

A parents love in undying, you bring this child to the world. Nurture them, teach them and care for them every step of the way. But this very child can hurt you or disappoint you at some point in this never ending journey called Parenthood.. But do you ever give up on your child, NO, love is forgiving, understanding, compromising, caring and being there no matter the circumstances.

On to what every lady has been looking forward to..lets call it..

RULES of ENGAGEMENT :-)

Ladies, i know its that special date night on the 14th.

If you're single, i bet you will have a blind date or a cyber date.Or maybe your colleague has set you up with her neighbor. This is what I would wear

Amber Riley of Glee.

I prefer trousers, i find dresses hard to manage. I like this outfit because.
Its comfortable, easy on the eye, and most importantly I would  feel great in it..Oh and the boots are low enough to run from danger..LOL..

 

Jennifer Hudson-Actress and Singer.

If you have been in a long term relationship or marriage, chances are your man sees you everyday, spice things up, look different for that special night.

If you are a simple dresser, go bold with big accessories or bold colors!!

                                  

Katrina, Model

If you are in a fairly new relationship, get creative but not too creative, you want this new man in your life to know your style. Trust me ladies its not worth it changing your style in the initial stages just to please him. Men like honesty, so stick to your style, if casual, add some heels.If you are the suit and classy type,stick to your style but maybe you can add some color to mark the occasion.

This one is for the Bold single ladies like many of the ladies in our society today. If you do not have a date-its never that
