TEACH YOUR CHILDREN If you want your child to be kind, they have to be taught. Children follow by example, and every single bad habit you do, they can see, and will most likely copy it as well. Your little mini-me is a sponge, soaking up everything you do, and copying you exactly. There is…
Read morePick your Mood!
Yes, you are capable of picking your mood, just like you can pick your nose. It can be done, (even if you have fat fingers! Ha ha) Rude joking aside, it really is up to you to pick your mood. You can’t leave it up to fate or chance, or how you feel when you…
Read moreRemove Toxic Facebook Friends
As they say, life is short. Some of us are literally short (yup, me!) but we are all given a number of days to live out on earth. We need to make the most of them, and that means we need to remove toxic people out of our lives. We simply can’t afford to waste…
Read moreMen NEED to be Wanted and Loved
Did you notice in the title for this blog that I capitalized NEED? Men don’t want to be wanted, they NEED to be wanted. NEED. It is in capitals for a reason. Just as women desperately want to hear, ‘I love you”, men NEED to be wanted and loved. Of course, men don’t come across…
Read moreRevenge

Read moreSay What You Mean
We are all so incredibly different, but what I think we should all agree on is: say what you mean. Don’t be obscure, don’t beat around the bush, don’t hint, just say it! Hmm, perhaps I should market a hoodie that says “just say it!” Nah, I’d probably get in trouble from Nike for it…

Read moreSTOP Drinking Pop!
HA! This seems a bit funny to me, because I have to take this advice myself. I am addicted to coke. I admit it. Now, in saying that, I haven’t had a coke in over three months, but I am addicted. Just like self-professed alcoholics that attend AA are told to NEVER EVER touch a…
