Create Better Days With Faith, Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

By doing this little exercise doves, every single morning when you first wake up, you’ll eventually start to notice that good things will start to happen – consistently. You may also find yourself being in the ‘right place at the right time’ and generally feeling more positive about life, as well as enjoying yourself a lot more.

By having faith in God and feeling gratitude towards Him, as well as utilizing the law of attraction (positive visualization and intentions,) you can turn almost every day into a much better day. Positive thinkers are also more pleasant to be around! Is your glass half empty or half full?

And, when you first wake up in the morning, do you give thanks to God (Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:20) If you haven’t been doing so, start to thank Him daily for all the blessings and abundance in your life. Faith and gratitude is indispensable to our mental health too.

Then once you’ve shown your gratitude, spend at least ten minutes thinking about the types of situations you’d like to experience that day. Ask yourself some questions like; what kind of mood do you want to be in? How would you like your homemaking or workday to go? What kind of people would you like to spend time with or meet?

It’s also beneficial to spend a few minutes vividly imagining each scenario in your mind. Play a little movie in your imagination, watching it all play out exactly as you’d like it to!

Literally feel as if these scenarios were actually happening NOW. Immerse yourself in feelings of gratitude, contentment and excitement, as you enjoy one positive experience after another.

Use this same exercise for every experience you’d like to experience that day. You can also use a special journal to jot these details down. Write down each and every tiny detail. Once you’ve finished, you should be feeling grand - in high spirits and buzzing with positive thoughts and expecting the best!

Then, you need to simply carry out your normal routine and staying open to whatever comes. Keep giving thanks to God and affirming that good things are going to happen to you today, and remember to avoid as much as you can any feelings of worry, anxiety, anger or frustration.

Then, as much as possible, call to mind the moving images of the things you previously visualized and allow those positive feelings to flow through you once again. Affirm that God wants to bless you and know that wonderful things are happening - even if you don’t see them quite yet! Always remember too doves that; ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

Create a Beautiful and Relaxing Atmosphere in Your Home

A traditionally feminine wife usually experiences pleasure in homemaking and also satisfaction in moving around her natural sphere. She's considered queen of her own home and knows that a home isn’t just a place to live in, it's a sacred enclosure! Even the ancients regarded with love the 'veneranda domus,' while poets made it the center of tranquil pleasures - and unspeakable enjoyments.

The delights of homemaking, as well as the benefits of home life can be many. There’s a rich resource of quiet enjoyment, as well as a sweet retreat from the trials and busy-ness of life. And, what tranquility and contentment can bless a feminine wife's home!

You can also create a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere in your home by turning it into a harmonious oasis. This has undeniably positive benefits for all the household members - mental and emotional. Don't forget too, that men (and husbands) often identify a woman by the look and atmosphere of her home. So, make it comfortable, cozy and inviting!

The following steps will help you change and improve the entire look and feel of your home.

Step 1.

Go from room to room in your home and get rid of any junk, clutter and unnecessary items (this also subconsciously represents to a woman cleansing, purification and change.) As you're tossing out that old junk and useless clutter (and better organizing anything that's left over,) you're creating pleasant sensations of harmony, lightness and freedom - while reducing any feelings of frustration and anxiety. Junk and clutter can also drain our energy.

Also, a messy home can scatter a woman's focus and leave the household members feeling restricted and overwhelmed. So, take as much time as necessary to remove all the junk, clutter and any items that you no longer want or need. And, don't forget doves - clutter is clutter - and the less you have of it, the better! We can suffer negative effects just from its mere presence. Even when it’s hidden from sight.

Put any remaining items that you don't want to permanently remove from your home, neatly into suitably sized storage containers. Once you're done that, put these storage containers away in a hidden area of your home (such as in a spare room or garage.) Now your living quarters should be looking a lot more orderly!

Step 2.

Clean your entire home; go grab all of your cleaning supplies and equipment and clean like you’ve never cleaned before - dust, wipe, scrub, sweep, vacuum and mop! Also, if you want to shampoo all the carpets make sure that you give them a whole week to become completely dry. When you're finally finished doing a thorough cleaning of the house, give yourself a well deserved break!

Step 3.

Make a nice cup of tea (or coffee) and take a good look at your surroundings. You'll probably notice that not only do your surroundings look better, but they feel better. The atmosphere in your home may feel brighter, lighter and calmer too. By the way, nothing can make a husband not want to be at home than an environment that's messy, unorganized and unclean!

Now is the time you should also consider painting (or re-painting) the walls of your home. Blues and greens are very relaxing colors. Darker tones can give a more cozy and sensual effect.

Step 4.

It's also important that your home smells pleasant. Scents effect moods, as well as evoke emotions. First, you should open the windows to completely air out the house. Sprinkle baking soda in any stale or smelly areas. For any moldy spots, place a few small cups of white vinegar to stand nearby. You can also wipe out the fridge with some sweet-smelling vanilla essence.

The next step is purchase some lightly scented candles and/or oil burners and place them in the living area, bathroom and bedroom areas. This is where you can start to have fun! When selecting fragrances, choose any ones that particularly appeal to you. Use pumpkin pie, cinnamon, vanilla and lavender scents to make your home really enticing to men;-)

Aromatherapy essential oils are great. They're not only effective for making an environment smell more appealing, but for creating a more relaxing and rejuvenating one. Some good essential oils for evaporating in oil burners are; bergamot, rose, sandalwood and frankincense. It's also good to place scent at the front doorway.

Step 5.

Check all the lighting in your home to see if it's not too bright (this is best checked at night.) If the lighting is too bright, you'll definitely need to change the light bulbs to a lower wattage. This especially applies to your bedroom. Ovid even said that the light in your bedroom shouldn't ever be too bright and there are many things about a woman that are best seen in the dimness of 'twilight.' Some attractive lamps are also good for creating a cozy effect.

Step 6.

Make sure that all your furniture etc, is designed for relaxation and comfort. A comfy couch (with a remote control nearby,) a recliner or some over-stuffed chairs and footrests are ideal. So is a good mattress and sturdy bed! Don't forget some throw rugs to help keep you warm in the cooler months. Many housekeepers prefer thick shag pile rugs on the floors and oiled hardwood timber floors to carpets these days, but this is really a matter of individual taste.

A CD/portable mp3 player to play ambient tunes or any music that relaxes you is ideal to have on standby.

You can also create a special basket containing your favorite 'feel good' items which you can place anywhere you like. This basket can contain anything that relaxes you and gives you pleasure. These items could be books, poetry, journals, art supplies, herbal teas, candles etc.

Step 7.

Add some final extra touches; place some fresh flowers on the table, some lovely new pictures on the walls and some framed photos and tasteful ornaments placed strategically around the rooms. These items don't have to be expensive and can even be found at places like thrift stores or yard sales.

House plants are also very good inside the home and they also help to purify the air!

A Southern Belle’s Tips for Catching and Keeping a Man

The Irresistible Secrets of a Southern Belle

'Pretty is as pretty does'.... even if she’s not classically beautiful, she knows how to act pretty and create the illusion that she’s nothing, but irresistible!

She takes the time to primp, pamper and always look fetching for her husband. She may take buttermilk baths and come out smelling like jasmine or gardenia.

She never forgets to apply her makeup beautifully and a quick dab of light perfume before she ever walks out the door. Her hair and nails are always done to perfection too.

She loves to dress to the nines in the most flattering attire – feminine and pretty dresses with a nice fitting jacket or pretty cardigan (and heels.) Real pearl jewelry is also a favorite accessory.

She’s softly spoken and speaks with a darling Southern Drawl (that alone captivates many unsuspecting men and has them hanging on her every word.) She uses terms of endearment like; “darlin,” "bless your heart" and “precious....”

She knows how to flirt in a chaste, yet alluring manner while batting those eye lashes, flipping her hair and making a man feel that ‘he’s a man among men’ (‘bell-ness.’)

She's hard to get and rarely calls men on the phone or chases them, but loves being pursued by them ;-)

She also never forgets that one of the ways to a man's heart is through his stomach - so her cooking is delicious!

Even though she’s capable, self-sufficient and has a lot of backbone, she loves playing the ‘damsel in distress’ (when it's to her advantage ;-)) and being the recipient of old fashioned chivalry.

She’ll graciously allow a man to carry her groceries, open a door or pull out a chair for her. Even though she’s aware that she can do these things for herself, she knows that it makes men feel good to help. So, she’d never dream of emasculating a man or go on for a second about being “perfectly capable, thank you very much!”

She’s mastered the art of ‘Southern charm’ - beauty eventually fades; though charm lasts a looonng time! See my feminine charm book page for the secrets of Southern charm and how to be charismatic - to the highest degree ;-) http://tiny.cc/piLlm

How to Be a Southern Belle

Tips to how to be a modern day southern belle....

In the Old South, a true southern belle (‘belle’ is derived from the French word 'beautiful') was not only recognized by her beauty, but for her distinctive accent, grace, refined manners and feminine ways. She was also admired for her great charm and underlying sassiness – for she had both sugar and fire in her blood!

Sadly, those true southern ladies are a dying breed, but there are still many women in the south today who embrace their unique heritage! Many modern day belles still cling fondly to the old southern ways of charm, propriety and old fashioned values.

In this particular post, I give you some of the irresistible secrets and tips of how to become a modern day "Southern Belle" - which sets her apart from other women....

She’s the very epitome of being feminine – a lady through and through.

She’s always looking attractive, well groomed and always has classiness in appearance.

She loves to dress to the nines in the most flattering attire – feminine and pretty dresses with a nice fitting jacket or pretty cardigan (and heels.) Real pearl jewelry is also a favorite accessory.

She has that special ability to make anyone in her home feel good about them self, as well as very comfortable in her presence. She also has a rather ingenious talent of making people feel as if they're the only person in the entire world! And, when they leave she may call out; “come back ya hear!”

She knows how to sincerely give compliments and how to graciously receive them.

She’s well-bred and was raised from childhood to embrace Southern etiquette (perfect manners and graciousness.) She’s smiles at everyone, remembers their names and never forgets to use the niceties of social decorum; "please,” “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” “how kind of you,” “it's good to see you again," "pardon me," “yes ma'am" and "no sir....”

She’s always self composed and has control over her emotions – always! She’ll never use inappropriate or profane language or lose her temper in public for that matter. She’s calm, adaptable and doesn’t stress or get anxious. As Scarlett O’Hara in ‘Gone With the Wind’ saw it; “Fiddle-dee! I won’t worry about that today. I’ll worry about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day!”

She's usually quite strong minded, strong-willed and well.... tough. Even though she's often sweet, demure and girly on the outside – she shows real resilience and determination – i.e. ‘GRITS – girls raised in the South.’ This also reminds me of Scarlett O’Hara who was like a bulldozer disguised as powder puff! There are also the suitable Southern sayings; “she’s a steel magnolia,” or “strong as oaks; sweet as honeysuckle.” Then there’s a saying about women from Georgia; “She’s as sweet as a Georgia peach, but inside every peach there’s a strong pit.”

She has perfected the fine art of southern hospitality, knowing how to cook and entertain as the ‘lady of the house’ - with relative ease and flair.

She takes quite a lot of pride in anything domestic and always has a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge ready prepared for her visitors!

She likes her home to be clean, as well as look nice, and treasures old family recipes and heirlooms (such as china, silver, crystal and beautiful table linens.)

Family matters; she’s a woman of substance and most inspired by her mother and grandmothers - and any other remarkable woman in her family.

Faith matters; she believes in the good principles of morality, integrity and honesty (and the Ten Commandments and credibility actually mean something too.)

She keeps her family together with a firm hand, is always organized, has a good work ethic and is often active in her community – she can practically do it all!

I hope you enjoyed 'how to be a southern belle.' In the next post doves, I'll share with you a southern belle's tips for catching and keeping a man!

Using the Law of Attraction to Attract Love

Question; what does 'the law of attraction' mean?
Answer; it basically means we attract what we think about most.

Our thoughts are a POWERFUL FORCE. And, when we fully understand just how important our thoughts are, and how vital positive thinking is, we may start to become a lot more conscious of the WAY we think. Interestingly, thoughts are (to some degree) a manifestation of concentrated energy and have strong magnet-like powers of attraction.

We can use this concept to attract love and an ideal relationship. On the flip side, when we understand the laws of attraction, perhaps we'll finally understand why past relationships ended in disappointment. If 'our thoughts are things,' we can become a lot more careful of the kinds of words and statements that we choose to think about.

When we fully comprehend just how powerful thoughts actually are (and the natural consequences of ignoring this fact,) we'll almost certainly be even more conscious of what we're actually thinking at any given time! We may also become conscious of the past things that have happened to us in our dating and relationship experiences. We may understand just how they may have been adversely affected by negative thinking.

Here's an example; a woman constantly allowed her mind to dwell on thoughts of 'failure.' She somehow brought herself into close touch with the mind of another 'failure' person (in this case a negative man!) And, each tended to pull the other down even more.

Here's another example. Many women believe in a socially-ingrained theory that all men are 'bad.' Women belonging to this particular group are almost certain to be brought into contact with men who'll seem to prove this theory.

Yet, the positive women who look for the good in everything, and who believe that there are plenty of good men available will very likely attract to themselves a worthy man who'll actually correspond to their positive thoughts. On another positive note; a woman who asserts that she CAN AND WILL meet her soul mate (or be happily married) within one year, and believes strongly in it and affirms it earnestly - may subconsciously develop within herself the qualities conductive to the manifestation of her desire.

If you have faith that you'll eventually find a man who's 'made of the right stuff,' as well as end up in a loving and fulfilling relationship, you'll more than likely get into tune with the mind of a man who's thinking likewise. Somehow you'll both manage to come together and experience a happy and harmonious relationship!

Remember doves, we naturally attract to us others of the same order of thought, and attract to ourselves the things that we concentrate our minds on the most. Whether or not we actually believe in the law of attraction, we're constantly making affirmations which help bring about our circumstances - both good and bad.

*We each have inside of us, more personal power than we may have ever dreamed possible. When you stop to think about it you may finally see and believe that a woman really makes her own surroundings (although she may blame others for it!)

**We also attract to us others of the same order of thought.

***I believe that (apart from faith,) our mind with its free will and amazing potential is a gift from God. Even the Bible says implicitly;

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he' (Proverbs 23:7)

"As you have believed, let it be done for you" (Matthew 8:13)

There happens to be many other examples of the law of attraction in the Bible :-)

There's almost nothing that will as successfully repay you for your time and effort than thinking the right kind of thoughts!

Tips For the Feminine and Fascinating Woman

Domestic Goddess Tips For the Fascinating Woman

A feminine woman is always motivated most by the love of her husband. She wants to please him in all her ways. She puts him first and understands the ways to a man's heart better than any one. In return, her man adores and appreciates her!

Basically from an old home economics book, these tips are for all the fascinating feminine wives out there who embrace their femininity, beauty, submissiveness, domesticity and who choose to stay home. For our heart is in our home....

Get your daily chores done;

Plan your tasks with an eye on the clock. Finish or interrupt them an hour before your husband is expected. An anguished cry; “Are you home already?” is not exactly a warm welcome!

Have dinner ready;

The way to a man's way is through his stomach; plan ahead (even the night before) to have a delicious meal ready on time. This is a way of letting him know that you've been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself;

Take 30 minutes to relax so you'll be refreshed when your husband arrives. This will also make you happy to see him instead of too tired to care. Turn off the worry and be glad to be alive - and grateful for the man who's going to walk in! Check your appearance. Touch up your makeup, apply a quick dab of perfume, put your hair into a simple yet alluring style and look fresh! Your man has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be cheerful and a little more interesting ;-) His boring day may need a lift.

Clear away the clutter;

Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc, in a bucket or wastebasket and put them in the back bedroom for sorting later. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he's reached a haven of rest and order and it will give you a lift too. Having the house in order is another way of letting him know that you care and have planned for your man's home coming.

Prepare the children;

Take just a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces and comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he'd like to see them look the part.

Minimize all noise;

Especially give heed to this if your husband has to join rush hour traffic. At the time of his arrival eliminate noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet at the time of their father’s arrival. Let them be a little noisy beforehand to get it out of their system.

Be happy to see him;

Greet him with a warm smile and act glad to see him. Tell him that it's good to have him home. This may make his day worthwhile. If there's any romance left in you, he needs it now.

Some don’ts;

Don’t greet him with problems and complaints. Solve the problems you can before he gets home and save those you must discuss with him until later in the evening. Also, don’t complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as a minor problem when compared with what he might have gone through that day. Don’t allow the children to rush at him with problems or requests. Allow them to briefly greet their father, but save demands for later.

Make your man comfortable;

Have him lean back into a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to massage his neck and shoulders and take off his shoes. Don’t insist on this however. Turn on music if it's one of his pleasures. Speak in a soft, soothing, pleasant feminine voice. Allow him to relax-to unwind.

Listen to him;

You may have a dozen things to tell him, but this moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first, then he'll be a more responsive listener later.

Make the evening his;

Never complain if he doesn't take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and to relax. If he's moody or irritable, never fight back. Again, try to understand his world of strain.

The goal;

Try to make your home a haven of peace and order where your husband can renew himself in body, mind and spirit. He'll rather be with YOU than anyone else in the world and will spend whatever time he can possibly spare with you. Try living all of these rules for your man's homecoming and see what happens. This is the way to bring a husband willingly home to your side - not by pressure, persuasion or obligation!

By breathing correctly, you can greatly increase your energy, oxygenate your body and eliminate toxins. ALL the functions of your body will be rejuvenated and revitalized! I also have a question for you. Did you know that the air you breathe contains energizing oxygen that can cleanse and rejuvenate your entire bloodstream with a super-abundance of rich red blood cells?

With the right kind of deep breathing an extra surge of oxygen will literally ‘course’ through your blood, being borne along until it’s distributed evenly - to replenish and strengthen EVERY part of your body.

Would you like to know a special breathing technique that gets your brain flowing and stimulates creativity? Unfortunately many women are experiencing little creativity due to exhaustion and have a need to concentrate on just one subject at a time. Yet, with the correct breathing, you can gain a real sense of control over your concentration, thinking and creative processes.

Also, millions of women worldwide are busy running hectic households, or even juggling a family and career so they have a very real tendency to experience burnout. They also suffer from sluggish energy and require a lot of time to rest. Their personal magnetism will be limited and is inclined to evaporate. Their mental powers and emotions will also be affected negatively. What they need is arousing, and their bodies and brain need stimulation!

A woman who utilizes the special source of energy from breathing correctly also naturally belongs to what’s known as the ‘vital’ temperament. ‘Vital’ (or vitality) means ‘life’ (or relating to LIFE.) The vital temperament can also be used to describe those who are in a state of positive physical and mental balance. The great thing is that any woman can learn a way of breathing that makes her become vital! Here’s a dictionary meaning of ‘vital;’

VI·TAL

Full of life or vigor; animated.

The vital principle or animating force within living beings.

Imparting life or animation; invigorating: the sun's vital rays.

The lady who has a vital temperament will radiate vitality that’s so little experienced by the majority of women! Such vitality has the ability to influence every person who comes in contact with her as she sheds this radiant kind of power upon others as a whole. Others are irresistibly drawn to vitality.

It’s really up to you whether you want to learn how to start applying this special wisdom in your life. Now, why don't you find out more about this wonderful program for yourself!? You can read more at the following links....

A Water-Rich Diet for Perfect Health and Feminine Beauty!

She knows how to eat to look like a goddess!

I'd like to introduce you to the wonderful benefits of a 'WATER RICH DIET' diet. This is the diet that can really help a woman attain optimum health and beauty (and become so radiant that she'll won't be able to avoid attracting a man!)

If you're looking to lose weight, studies have also shown that this diet is a lot more effective for weight loss than reducing fat alone. It's also an alkalizing diet which is very good for your body. This is because alkaline foods happen to balance the pH level of our internal fluids. They do it in such a way that it fully optimizes the cellular functions of our body.

I first heard about this particular alkalizing diet from Anthony Robbins when I was listening to one of his self-improvement programs. In case you've never heard of Anthony (or Tony) Robbins, this man is probably one of the world’s most successful motivational speakers. He happens to be a pretty good authority on health as well. Because of his highly motivating style of speaking, I just love listening to him!

Anyway, getting back to this audio that I was listening to, Anthony was discussing the numerous benefits of consuming a water rich diet. One major benefit was that it makes our vitality 'explode.' He also mentioned that if we don't eat plenty of water rich and alkalizing foods, we're literally heading towards self destruction! My interest was piqued.

Of course this unwilling self destruction probably wouldn't be something that would happen over night, but we'd definitely find ourselves getting sick over the course of time. Therefore, it's highly recommended that we consume a 70% water rich diet to prevent this from ever happening!

We'd also need to eliminate all processed foods from our diets, as well as the bad fats (such as trans fats,) white carbs and sugar. We'd also need to eliminate (or significantly cut down on meat,) dairy and acid-producing foods. This will apparently VASTLY improve our health and longevity.

So, what exactly is a 'water rich' diet? A water rich diet basically means eating a diet of plenty of raw vegetables and fruit (which naturally contain a fair proportion of water.) This diet sounds perfectly ideal to me as fruit and vegetables were a staple part of our 'hunter-gatherer' ancestors' diets.

Fruits and vegetables are also known to be very beneficial to our health. They're 'nutritionally dense' foods containing an abundance of essential vitamins and amino acids that happen to come strait from the ground itself. They're even cleansing for the body and can help prevent many cancers. Why wouldn't the nutritional experts be constantly endorsing them?

Perhaps you've already heard someone advocate the benefits of raw foods and you've even thought about going on some sort of raw food diet. But after considering it a little bit more, you didn't think you could do it ALL of the time (so you quickly gave up on that idea!)

Join the club and it certainly wouldn't be easy to switch to a 100% raw food diet would it? But the truth of the matter is that you don't really need to. There's an alternative available! To get the optimum amount of raw foods that we need into our daily diet, we can simply eat a fresh salad with every meal.

When we consume at least a 70 % water rich diet, we're basically supplementing our daily meals with plenty of raw (and alkalizing) fruits and vegetables. These are energizing and BEAUTIFYING! When our blood and organs are fed properly, and get the nutrition they need to fully function, we not only gain vibrancy, but become more attractive ;-)

The benefits of this diet will physically show in our eyes, skin, hair etc. When a woman eats a water rich diet she becomes almost RADIANT. Phrases like “inner beauty” and “inner glow” will certainly be applied to her!

So, why don't you start right now to plan your meals better? Plan them so that you'll be able to eat a lot more raw foods throughout the day. If you go to work (or college) each week, you can pack a lunch that includes a healthy salad with plenty of fresh sprouts that are full of protein. You can also include plenty of water-rich snacks to munch on such as; celery, carrots, apples, grapes and so on.

If you usually go out to lunch during the day, why not go to places where you can get a healthy salad instead? Also, steamed brown rice in a plastic container with some lightly cooked vegetables is an ideal lunch. It's really cleansing and nutritious!

Those greasy fast food takeouts can not only make you fat, or give you an unsightly crop of pimples, but can make you feel really sluggish. You may find yourself having to take a lot of unintended naps in the afternoon! Though, a lighter and healthier meal of good quality protein (such as a small portion of lean red meat or chicken, or some eggs, nuts or legumes,) and a variety of raw and protein foods will help keep you energized and satisfied. Your grocery bill will be a lot less too ;-)

It would also help to learn about the ingredients on food labels. This is because you really do need to know whether any of the ingredients on the list are actually quite harmful to our health. You should get into the regular habit of checking the food labels whenever you're shopping for groceries. You'll find that almost every food item has its own label which will give you the contents, as well as the nutritional information.

Reading the labels on food can assist you in making an informed decision about whether or not you want to put those things into your body. Additionally, you can also purchase the organic varieties of foods (if you can afford it) that don't contain any of those harmful pesticides, additives or hormones.

And, whenever you're feeling hungry, always aim to eat something NUTRITIOUS! And, sometimes it's really better to eat something than risk getting verrry hungry! I say that because generally, if you allow yourself to go too long without food (until you get ravenous,) it’s so much easier to make poor food choices!

A wise eater consumes a lot of raw vegetables and fruits in her meals (with a good source of protein.) She also has on hand some healthy carbohydrate snacks that keep her metabolism humming nicely along - periodically throughout the day. Her blood sugar is kept at a steady level too.

***The question is doves, do you love yourself enough to do it?

Society Tips For Women to Upgrade Your Image

'Femme du Monde' (a lady of society)

There’s something in our social awareness which inclines us to pay special attention to manners. Good manners are all about a certain standard of conduct that demonstrates consideration, politeness and respect. A well-mannered woman naturally presents a favorable impression to others, while a bad-mannered woman does just the opposite. Bad manners are also associated with having a poor character - and we don't want to give that impression! A mannered woman represents classiness too. When you combine this with feminine attractiveness, many heads will turn.

A "LADY" is a term that’s often applied to a woman who’s somewhat refined in her social behavior i.e. she displays a graceful elegance; a ‘Patrician manner’ and so on. She can have beauty, style and an air of sophistication to boot - with her own healthy, yet humble self-esteem (think Audrey Hepburn or Sophia Loren....) Being well-mannered and lady-like can certainly help improve our overall image – especially when we’re looking to impress others. Perhaps it’s time to grow, to upgrade, to concentrate on your image and polish those manners!

Always remember that good manners never go out of style and will always play an important part in society (especially Haute Société.) They’re important to the high status men too, and there are still many of them out there who favor a woman whose ‘manners are fine!’ They also prefer women who show some discrimination and class, feminine women who show good taste, speak beautifully and use virtually no obscenities in their conversation. They may also read etiquette books by Amy Vanderbilt and Emily Post.

It’s also known that a cultured and elegant woman can penetrate high society with relative ease. She’s probably invested herself in deportment and etiquette lessons and certainly understands what art appreciation's about. She'll enjoy fine cuisine, may be a consummate entertainer and probably knows a bit about wine. Her company is highly sought after!

She’s always a lady in public. Everything about her appears competent – so much so that she could be a polished heiress of the future! Her personal style will usually be immaculate; tasteful, fashionable and feminine elegance. The French call her “Femme du Monde” - a lady of society! She’s consistently 'upgrading' herself and sees it as an investment. She naturally attracts the higher grade types of men too.

Here are some examples and tips on reinventing and upgrading your image;

Be well groomed, learn how to look gorgeous and get the right image - represent a girl of 'the pretty society!' http://tinyurl.com/melinas-friends Get a lot more attention and compliments ;-)

Sit, stand, as well as carry yourself with perfect poise.

Improve your whereabouts or upgrade the look of your home (remember 'decorating rich' or tastefully doesn't mean it has to be expensive ;-))

Choose your friends wisely; “Tell me who are your associates and I will tell you what you are.”

Memorize and practice everything you can on manners and etiquette!

Learn how to speak well – expand your vocabulary and remember to pronounce your words correctly.

Learn about good food and wine. Know how to cook a few signature dishes of your own and prepare some delicious bites for your friends and family to enjoy. Have a wine and cheese night (find a really good cheesemonger ;-)) Plan an elegant dinner party, throw a black tie event....

Learn how to be charming (a most winning and admirable attribute in a woman,) be entertaining, sociable and fun.

Learn more about culture, music, art, literature, philanthropy and history.

***Abhor gossip - above all avoid scandal!

Tip; it’s the middle class that you can look to as an example of ideal society; this class has not had its ideas affected by snobbery or 'affluenza!' It’s a society with relative sincerity and charm.

Mastering the Feminine Art

The art of being feminine is a sublime female art; that EVERY woman (in an ideal world,) would eagerly set out to master. Becoming a feminine woman is definitely a most fruitful and fulfilling experience as the rewards are many. Yet, in this imperfect world, femininity is so misunderstood by the misinformed women, that it’s often criticized as being ‘old fashioned’ (therefore obsolete,) even as damaging to women. This is simply not the truth and the concept of men and women treating each other as if they’re supposed to be the same is absurd!

A man and women are supposed to be opposites. The two genders are supposed to bear such an intense relation to each other, that one is essential for the actions of the other. And, always remember dear ones, a man doesn’t want another man, he wants a WOMAN! There’s also nothing more unappealing to a man than a woman with a mannish appearance and manner. Though if the radical feminists had their way, men and women would merge completely and there’d be no telling us apart!

A woman’s femininity is actually very empowering for her and can lead a man further than he thinks possible. This is because a feminine woman has a genius ability of discovering what electrifies and empowers a man. The geisha know this! A masculine man will be almost transfixed, as well as fascinated by a truly feminine woman who he senses can please him in virtually a thousand winning ways. And, it makes her unforgettable. Perhaps this also comes down to the fact that feminine women are rare!

A man is especially influenced by a woman who understands that he needs to feel strong – stronger than a woman that is. He’s also like putty in the hands of a woman who knows how to make her man feel important - that he’s ‘a man among men.’ Cleopatra knew this! Even Goethe told us; “If you treat a man as he is, he will stay as he is, but if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be, and could be, he will become that bigger and better man.’’

A man NEEDS to feel needed by a woman – such as needing him for protection or counting on him to save her from harm’s way. A man also loves a woman who can make him feel manly - don’t ever take this need away from him! Also, a man can’t ever offer his chivalrous care and protection to you if he feels it’s not needed. He also prefers (and secretly loves it) when a woman depends on him for assistance - such as lifting something heavy for her or changing her car’s flat tire.

The feminine woman graciously let’s her man take the lead and is not embarrassed about depending on him for certain things. She willingly asserts the ‘power’ over to him. She can do this for the simple fact she knows that it actually takes a very strong person with a solid sense of self to willingly yield to another’s leadership. But in case you’re still thinking that this means that a feminine woman must be weak or helpless, think again!

A feminine woman is not a passive passenger in life, but right in the middle of it! She has the courage to live naturally (as her Creator intended) and understands that the more she develops her feminine nature, the easier she wins her man’s love and devotion. So, she doesn’t scoff at the idea of a man’s care and protection. And, she’s actually happy (and quite relieved) to let him carry the load – even to rescue her from trouble. But in case you’re still thinking that this means that a feminine woman is supposed to be weak or helpless, think again!

On the contrary, a feminine woman often is, and should be an emotionally strong and empowered person with an inner fortitude to match. Her man could definitely depend on her if the circumstances called for it (Helen Andelin, the author of ‘Fascinating Womanhood,’ calls this the ‘the Sweet Promise.’) But her unique manner of communicating, relating, as well as her particular style of behaving is never aggressive or demanding.

Instead, the feminine woman is assertive about her wants and needs in a calm and resolute sort of way. Everything she does is expressed in a feminine manner and when it comes to getting what she wants, she knows how to act in such a clever, powerful and indirect way that her man always responds ideally and positively – and never feeling defensive or resentful towards her!

Instead, his feelings of appreciation, respect and affection for her just grow more and more! Her feminine manner also is highly attractive and brings out the best in him. So take pride in your femininity and fascinating womanhood! And, there’s almost no limit how far you go with your femininity. It’s an amazingly successful way of life and an entire way of being.
