I have to post this funny video my brother sent me the other day. Gossip Girl’s marketing and advertising team did a great job. Interesting idea

 Me – Guest Star on Gossip Girl

Maxine was driving down the street in a sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking place.
Looking up toward heaven, she said, ‘Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up sex and tequila.’
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
She looked up again and said, ‘Never mind. I found one.’

Everybody comes to the point when life teaches them a lesson…or two. And although when we say “I have learned from my mistakes” we say it with a bitter voice and a frown on our face, we must realize that these mistakes are the ones that make us wiser and stronger and more aware of things we should value and the ones we should keep away from.
It isn’t nearly as meaningful when you hear it from someone else (you have to discover your own life thinking) but if this was a lesson over life, here is what I would teach you…

1. Do everything you wish to do if it’s in your power to do it. Face the fears and insecurities, the vanity and pride and take a shot because otherwise, you will always ask yourself  “What if?”. I know I would rather regret the things that I did than the things I didn’t do. What about you?  As Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the (more…)

Why is it so hard to end up certain relationships and let go of certain people? Could it be the habit, the sense of security? Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, when we think of getting out of a relationship that lasted long, what really holds us back is the familiarity and the fear of unknown? After all, most of us are afraid of changes.

It’s hard to move from your old home to another, to change your neighborhood, your pain in the ass neighbors with possibly worse ones, the so familiar home-office, office-home drive and to pick a new store for your every day shopping, as good as the last one (close to home, good prices, dear old saleslady).
It’s hard enough when you have to change your job, it’s even harder getting hired for the first time and leaving behind college life.

Most of us, most of the times, prefer the familiar over the unfamiliar. Extending this supposition, is it possible this could go for relationships too? If you have been in a relationship for a considering long time, the thought of being single again might be scary. Especially when (more…)

1. How can I put it? Love is like searching for the perfect pair of shoes and finding them! But when he loves you back too, well my friend… that’s like finding the shoes, you try them on and they’re a perfect fit! No! It’s even better: they’re on sale!

2. -He loves me!
-How can you tell?
-If he got through a whole day of shopping with me without backing out, he must love me. He eighter loves me or he wants to have sex with me really bad!

3. Love is the Valentino* of feeling! Certainly, utterly, the best!

4. True love is like your shadow. You carry it with yourself until you are gone.

5. Love is like a bird locked into a cage too small for the bird to fit.

* Valentino is not the first designer on my list, however “love is the Michael Kors of feelings” would’ve sounded at least odd…

Having sense of fashion is not buying everything that’s “in” according to the latest trends, but wearing the clothes that work for you. Define your style and just adapt the latest trends to it. Not the other way around. Act clever and avoid the combinations that disadvantage you (try and leave out the black stockings from your wardrobe if you have really skinny legs) and learn the tricks to make the best of it (swimsuits with horizontal stripes are said to make your breasts look bigger).

Tell me what you wear and I’ll tell you who you are

Yes… it also goes for your clothing choices.You can tell a lot about a person just by analyzing the way she or he dresses. I remember a quote by Melanie Griffith’s character from the movie Working Girl. Well, it’s actually Coco Chanel’s: ”Dress shabbily, they will notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they will notice the woman.”
So be careful what you choose from that closet of yours before you go out. And always, always ask yourself (more…)

From time to time we get to the point of asking ourselves “should I let the game go on or should I yell fault…or time out?” But when we get to that point it is usually to late to have a change of heart – you are already in his bed and you’re way over first base. You can try the time out (”we shouldn’t do this”, “this is wrong”) but that never works. And if you’re playing away it’s a lost game. But still you can try to fake you’re hit ( the good old headache) and get away with that.

…To sex or not to sex? When does the question pop into our head? Well, it usually does when you know that what you’re about to do is wrong (if everything would be ok you wouldn’t have any doubts). He is either your best friend’s man or maybe you have a man back home. Maybe both. That is 1 wrong + another wrong that equals a disaster.

There are, of course, other situations that force you to play in defense – like being a condom short. And you know what they say: better safe than sorry. But even if we leave the health and pregnancy problems away, is sex ever safe?

There are people who think that (more…)

People go to blind dates the same reason they go to casinos. Hoping to hit the Jackpot. But most of the times they end up broke or alone at the bar. They know it but they’re still willing to take that risk. And they go there hoping for the best.

So that’s how you find yourself all dressed up, in front of a Martini glass or a Coke, checking your watch every 10 seconds. You scan every guy who enters, more and more convinced that this time it must be him. You smile, he smiles back but he passes right by you and stops 2 tables away where his friends are. Or even worse… (more…)

As the years pass and you keep getting in and out of relationships, you begin to realize that life is not as you thought it will be. Sure, you imagined prince charming in a white Cadillac or a black Rolls would somehow find you (while you do nothing but wait) and you would live happily ever after in one of his penthouse suites.


But all you get is 5 so called relationships in the past 14 months. And that’s if you (more…)
