Dating Magic: Personality and the Language of Color

Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:26:00 +0000

It's 8AM Monday morning and you decide to stroll to your local coffee shop for a leisurely cappuccino before a critical meeting with the management team at 10:00. This strategic gathering is your chance to shine in the midst the top level of your company with the hope of acquiring the largest account in the area.

You are perfectly coiffed from a black pinstripe designer suit down to a stylish French manicure. The plan for the morning is to review your notes for the meeting in order to gain complete composure. While savoring your cappuccino, you just happen to notice an impeccably dressed, attractive man at the adjacent table and he has definitely noticed you. What transpires in the next ½ hour is an engaging repartee that culminates in an exchange of phone numbers. That evening he calls to ask you for that dreaded, yet exciting, first date.

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:39:00 +0000

Trendy fashions, fancy sports cars, diverse regional cultures and delicious cuisine have made Italy a favorite travel destination unlike any other, one that has been enchanting millions of visitors for centuries. From Florence to Rome to the Isle of Capri, gorgeous coasts, pristine lakes and majestic mountains create an artistic landscape where contemporary luxury and historic greatness are combined. No wonder Italy is often referred to as the Bel Paese—“beautiful country.”

Florence Florence is a lovely city full of world-class designers like Gucci and Ferragamo, as well as glorious art, such as the not-to-be-missed statue of David by Michelangelo.

Secrets of Sex Appeal

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:25:00 +0000

Sex appeal. Is it the way someone looks at you, his confidence, his intellect or the way his body looks? It could be a touch, a smell or something else that causes you to be attracted to someone. What’s great about sex appeal is that it’s within everyone’s reach, so you don’t have to be a supermodel to get it. You can be petite and curvy or tall and statuesque, and either way, you could have it. Just to prove my point, if you were to compare Kim Kardashian to Gisele Bundchen, wouldn’t you say that they both have sex appeal? Each woman has her own, it just has to be found and flaunted.

What Is It? Sex appeal is something that comes from a healthy self-esteem and great confidence in who you are. This "it" factor is in the way you dress, the way you carry yourself, the way you smell and how you talk and behave. It really is a powerful "tool" and can be compared to a magnet in the way that it draws attention from members of the opposite sex. Several studies about the subject reveal that sex appeal is made up of far more than just appearance. Pheromones, also known bluntly as human odor, seem to have a lot to

Five Foods of Love

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:24:00 +0000

Set the mood for a perfect night of passion by adding in some of the whole, natural foods that are believed to increase desire.

Honey: Honey may be sweet but not necessarily so innocent; it's been said to assist both men and women in increasing sexual desire. Men metabolize the vitamins E and B that are found in honey to produce and maintain testosterone, an essential component of male sex drive, while women use a nutrient known as boron to assist the body in using and metabolizing the sexual hormone estrogen. Plus, honey appeals to the senses with its sweet scent and thick, silky texture. Served Best: Create your own homemade honey butter that may be perfectly paired with biscuits. In a small bowl, cream

Romantic Getaway Swiss Alps

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 22:35:00 +0000

With more than three-fifths of Switzerland's surface area covered by the majestic Swiss Alps, it’s no wonder that winter sports enthusiasts have been drawn to this region for centuries. In recent years, some areas of the Swiss Alps have transitioned into a winter playground for families, couples and celebrities alike. The major winter destinations are located in Valais, Bernese Oberland and Graubünden. The majority of these mountainous regions lie within three hours’ travel to Switzerland's main cities and their respective airports.

Situated near the foot of the notorious Matterhorn Mountain is the municipality of Zermatt.

More posh travelers may elect to charter Air Zermatt and arrive by helicopter.

Are You Ready for Marriage?

Tue, 04 Jan 2011 00:17:00 +0000

Mae West, the Hollywood actress, sex symbol and comedienne extraordinaire of the 1930s, once said of marriage, “I greatly respect the institution of marriage, but I’m just not ready for an institution quite yet.” Ms. West was light years ahead of her time in her bawdy sense of humor, however, there is a pearl of wisdom buried just below the surface of her words that were spoken many years ago. Marriage has the potential of being what some say is a comfortable warm place to land after the world has done its best to tire one out or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, it can feel like a place of entrapment and misery.

As a marriage and family therapist for many years I am often asked, “What are the ingredients that make a successful marriage?” or “Do you think we/I am ready to get married?” These are almost always the primary questions that couples ask when they book an appointment for pre-marital counseling. My experience in this arena tells me that if couples took the time to assess the strengths and challenges of their relationship prior to marriage, perhaps more of them could achieve the dream many of us have, which is to live happily ever after until death do us part. These
