There
are a lot of ways to stop fighting in a relationship, but do you always
want to follow them? Constant fighting in a relationship isn't healthy,
but sometimes it happens. If you're finding yourself constantly
fighting with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you've got to take a look at
my ways to stop fighting in a relationship so you can really get back
to enjoying each other! Remember, fights are typically caused by
misunderstandings and underlying issues! 1. Don't Bring up The past:This is a huge step that I need to learn. I would say, one of the key ways to stop fighting in a relationship is to stop bringing up the past. The past is the past and the more that you bring it up, the worse the fight can actually be. Bringing up the past can also bring up a lot of old emotions, which is never good. |

Beauty & Fashion Tips: Style your Look!
This is a Guest blogger post by Sridhar Amanchy.
Looking gorgeous is a matter of knowing your body, knowing what to wear and how to wear right kind of clothes. Dressing up is an art and if you can master this art then you can be on top of the world. The important thing about dressing right is you should look slim and tall in whatever you wear, no matter what your weight is. Even fat women can look slim if they know the tricks of fashion. Learn how to camouflage your weight with proper dressing. Following are the tips that will make you look gorgeous, elegant and stunning!! • Pick one hue Dressing head-to-toe in a single dark color, like navy or black, is the single best way to look like you've lost 10 pounds.
• Skip large patterns Smaller patterns fool the eye and make for a more delicate look. And whatever you do, don't wear patterns on top and bottom -- that'll add 10 pounds.
• Slip on the right length skirt Stick to just-above-the-knee skirts that play off knees and elongate legs. Avoid a midcalf skirt, which draws attention to the widest part of your legs, making them look heavier.
• Ditch shorts Capris, on the other hand, are surprisingly slimming, especially if you stick to dark denim or black and wear ones that aren't too short or too long. They should end at the least-wide part of your calves, ideally a few inches above the ankle.
• Wear a sexy tee V-neck and deep scoop-neck tees elongate the neck and make the torso appear longer by showing off your collarbone.
• Go vertical Thin vertical stripes on anything -- pants, shirts, skirts, dresses -- create the illusion of a longer, leaner body.
• Slim down with color Hot summer hues like pink and yellow catch the eye and are good for body parts you want to play up. Pair them with black, brown or navy -- dark colors recede and are best for areas that you'd like to draw the eye away from.
• Pull out that A-line dress A gently flared A-line cut is universally flattering and hides large hips.
• Pick the perfect jeans Look for a pair that sits lower on your waist. And go for boot cut -- the slight flare fits over sandals and will give you longer, lankier legs.
• Sport three-inch heels High heels give you a thinner profile and silhouette. • Avoid ankle-strap sandals The more of your leg and the top of your foot you show, the longer your leg line will appear.
• Pick a well-proportioned purse Petite women look sexiest with smaller bags, while large women look best with medium-size purses.
• Score face-slimming shades If your face is on the full side, wide rectangular-frame sunglasses give you a sleeker look.
• Think long jewelry Long, skinny earrings and sleek pendant necklaces elongate and slim the face and body with their vertical lines.
• Wear bangles Skinny bangles or a bracelet-style watch make your arms look thinner by creating space around your wrist, which fools the eye, making you look slim.
• Pick the right part Opt for a side part -- a center part makes your face look round. A good rule of thumb to find the most flattering, face-slimming part: Use the arch of your eyebrow as a guide. Start the part above the arch and go back from there in a straight line.
• Skip bangs Or sweep them to the side if you have a round or square face. A bare forehead lengthens and slims the face.
• Pull your hair back If your neck is on the short side, pulling hair up off your neck and shoulders makes the neck look longer and upper body appear thinner.
• Add volume Hair that lies too flat on the head makes a full face appear even bigger. A full or wavy style, on the other hand, minimizes a larger face.
• Do an updo Building extra height at the crown of your head narrows round features and makes your face seem thinner. For the simplest 'do ever, twist hair into a high knot and fasten with a pretty barrette.

SPA SAAVY ON POINT.
Many people are familiar with spas but for others it's a whole new experience. The number of spas and the wide variety of services available may seem intimidating at first, but a little knowledge goes a long way to ensure the experience you envision is what you actually end up with. Some of the most common concerns are, "how do i know if the place is any good? What do I need to do when I get there? What is it going to cost? Will it be worth it?" First, figure out where and when you can go and how much to spend, and how much time you have. Once all these have been answered, you sure know what to do. So, go ahead and indulge yourself in spa treatment, and see what all the hype is about.
THE TREATMENTS.
CHEMICAL PEEL
CLAIM: Your face will be left smooth and glowing.
PROS: Glycolic can stimulate collagen production to smooth fine lines, lactic acid can correct brown spots and salicylic acids prevent breakouts by cleaning out pores.
CONS: Burns are always a risk especially from peels with strong acids and low pH balance. Physicians need to closely monitor the procedure.
MICRODERMABRASION.
CLAIM: Pores to appear slimmer, fine lines, less noticeable.
PROS: While dark spots can indeed be lessened, the procedure won't get rid of wrinkles. Skin appearance does improve. The crystals remove dead skin cells that trap dirt.
CONS: The more clogged the skin, the coarser the tools need to be and that could lead to irritation later.
STEAMING EXTRACTION.
CLAIM: Steam opens the pores and loosens dirt trapped below. That makes extractions that follow less painful and helps oil absorbing masks penetrate the skin deeply.
PROS: The skin softens and is more elastic. Exfoliation and warm steam open the pores so extractions are easier to do with less risk of scaring.
CONS: Too much heat can cause irritation, dehydration and broken capillaries. Overly zealous extractions can push the fluid deeper and cause marks.
OXYGEN.
CLAIM: Oxygen hydrates the skin, making it look temporarily more dewy. It is particularly recommended for anyone with dry skin, smokers or frequent fliers.
PROS: Oxygen gives a blast of rosy glow. many of the facials contain a cocktail of vitamins and nutrients that can plump up the fine lines.
CONS: Got an oxygen gas chamber? That's what you'd really need for oxygen to actually penetrate the skin. Which means that results are more of a feel good sensation and actually not proven.
I hope you found this piece helpful.

KNOW THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR BEAUTY MAKE-UP
Beauty products do have a life-span. That’s a generic fact. Chances are that blue eye shadow with the glimmer bits that you bought a couple of years ago has long expired. Here’s a quick guide on the shelf lives of typical beauty products.
Nail polish
Polish is a pretty product and can last up to two years, unless you wear it with fungal infection. Anytime your make-up items come into contact with an infection, they should be tossed immediately. So in the end, use common sense and if it smells funny or looks strange it should be tossed away.
Eye liner
For most experts, it is ideal to throw away liquid eye liner and mascara every three months or so. The only exception is if you have an eye infection; eye infections mean that you need to toss all eye make-up and start over again. And as for pencil eye liner, it can last up to 2 years, if properly stored and sharpened regularly.
Eye shadow.
Eye shadow may last up to three years. A dark eye shadow can double as eye liner. You’ll need a super flat eye liner brush for this. Get the brush a little damp and dab in dark eye shadow (black, brown or deep jewel-tones work great). Wiggle the brush into your lash line focusing on the space between your lashes, and then sweep the colour just above your lash line.
Foundation.
A water based foundation will last up to 12 months; oil-based will last up to 18 months. If your water-based foundation dries before its expiration date, simply add a few drops of alcohol-free toner and shake to mix it in. no need to do this to oil-based foundation because they contain oil, they will tend to separate. If your foundation has a pump then it will stay fresh longer, but if you are dabbing your fingers into a bottle everyday you should think of tossing your foundation make-up every 6-8 months. If you are prone to break outs and are using the dabbing method, you should toss your make-up no later than six months. But keep in mind that your foundation colour can change at least twice a year.
Powder face make-up can last over a year, if there is no shiny build-up on the surface and you have not had any major skin irritations during use. As a general rule of thumb, if it smells funny or looks strange you should toss it.
Lipstick
Some experts conclude that, lipsticks can last 1-2 years. How true this is, calls for poll correspondence. For others, it can last up to 4 years. This also leaves to be desired. However, if you store lipstick in the refrigerator, it will last longer. If you want your lipstick to last longer during the day, shade in lips with lip liner before applying lipstick.
Mascara.
This product expires the fastest. Throw out after four months. If you don’t want your mascara to expire faster than its actual date, don’t dump the wand in and out. Doing this will only expose the product to drying air.
As a general rule of thumb, change out your make-up every six months. If there is ever a doubt about whether to keep it or toss it, you should always just throw it out. Finally, if you have switched to natural make-up make sure you give the products a regular check, since they could turn rancid quicker because of the lack of preservatives.

HOW TO BE YOURSELF WHILE DRESSING TO IMPRESS.
![]() |
Quite simple way to appear at your best. |
If you are the lanky type of brother, I tell you, you are lucky. Why? You’re a natural clothes horse, provided you avoid skin-tight garments like skinny jeans. The short/average dudes like me envy you, lol….
![]() |
Gentlemen dressed well. |
If you are aiming to impress, you need a well-cut pair of fitted jeans. If you have a nicely muscled backside, it will show it off. Even if your rear end is less than perfect, the right pair of nicely fitted jeans can do a lot to improve it.
Whatever fashion you choose, the most important thing is freshness. A daily shower goes without saying. Make sure your nails are nicely cut and clean. If you must hang on to that favorite T-shirt that’s past its best, wear it around the house and not when you go out for the evening, especially on a date! When collars and cuffs start fraying, it’s time to throw out those shirts and buy new ones. Dirty Reeboks or scuffed leather shoes will lose you marks, too.
The above tips go for underwear. If you’re lucky enough to get to the point of removing your clothing in a lady’s company, she will notice if you Y-fronts are stained, holey or saggy and she will care! A woman can be very forgiving of a man who has a poor fashion sense. But if his clothes say he doesn’t care about hygiene or is too miserly to replace old clothes, that’s a different matter altogether.
![]() |
A bad boy look can still come with taste. |
As for shoes, a person may love those three straps, Velcro fastening sandals, but we must all be aware that there is a time and place for everything. With the sandals now firmly out of running, its worth mentioning that statistics suggest a woman’s eye goes straight for the foot. Women love shoes and can tell a lot about a person by what they are wearing. With this in mind it’s probably wise to take an extra minute when attempting to dress to impress in this area in order to carefully select the right shoes.
Sophisticated and smart is the best option in attire. Shoes are one thing, a watch is the next. These two products alone can stand the man apart from anyone else. They establish one’s identity, and are hallmarks of who a person is and what they are about. Omega, Frank Mueller, Rolex, Chris Aire, Cartier are all distinctions of class and they make a clear expression of a demand for quality. Don’t spend thousands but be sure to avoid classic mistakes and do not cheat by making a statement of how exquisite the fakes are in Thailand. Remember that it only takes one incident to ruin a reputation. Better to have nothing, than something that isn’t real. In addition, smell nice. You know what I mean!
Lastly, stick to what you are comfortable with and don’t look at the date as a great opportunity to try some new rough and ready wardrobe look. Believe me, people get the very wrong perception of what rough and ready is, nd as a result, it is a style left safely tucked away in someone else’s wardrobe attire. Above all, be courteous and be a gentleman always.

7 Fashion Rules for Tights and Leggings.
1. They are very tight; therefore, if you’re a little heavier, they will not look good on you. They will only accentuate your weight.
2. Leggings and tights look good when paired with lots of accessories. Never wear without any.
3. Make sure the tights or leggings fir properly. Wear thicker leggings to cover up any dimples you may have.
4. Choosing the proper shoes to wear with your tights or leggings is a must. What do you like best? The flat? The boot? Or the heel? Note that stilettos tend to look very retro and not suitable except you can stylishly pull it off with ease.
5. Standard t-shirts and tank tops simply won’t work unless you are a model or aerobics instructor. Be sure your top hem touches your upper thigh. You can only get away with tops that reach your upper or lower waist if you are wearing latex leggings which are so hot right now.
6. When it comes to sun dresses and other breezy numbers, take caution: most flirty frocks are just too light for tights. A good rule of thumb is that if the dress demands heels, stick to bare legs.
7. Leggings and skirts are truly a dynamic duo. If you have qualms about showing off your legs, add a pair of leggings in to the mix. But choose a colour that coordinates with your top, and keep in mind that dark colours are always more flattering.

Why Do Tailors Disappoint Especially when Their Services Are Needed Most? Tips to Avoiding That.
Tailors who disappoint are those who bite more than the can chew. Sticking to your promise of delivering goods on a certain date is very important. But some tailors collect many fabrics and their hands are so full that they can’t meet the deadline.
To guard against tailor’s disappointment, drop your fabrics on time and make sure you call on him/her to know how urgent you need the clothes.
