A Special Gift For Your Sweetheart

Gemstones - Unique Gifts for Lover

By Ravindra D.

Gemstones can be the most unique gifts for your lover. Your gift for your lover does not have to be expensive but it has to be precious and treasurable! Your gift should be able to tell your loved one that you really love them and care for them.

If you want to surprise your special one with an exquisite gift on their birthday, anniversary or on valentine's day, and you are absolutely confused as to what would be the most unique gift for your lover, you can be assured that a dazzling precious or semi-precious gemstone gift will bring a smile on their face and a sparkle in their eyes. If your loved one is fond of decorating their home, why not gift them some exceptional gemstone show items or a gemstone wind chime. If you are looking specifically for a birthday gift for your loved one, birthstones or zodiac gems are a great option.

If you are thinking of buying your special woman a beautiful gift, gemstone lucky charms or trinkets could be a great choice, considering the wide range of selection available and affordability.

There are also special gemstones that attract love. Love stones like the rose quartz, moonstone and ruby gemstone have magnetic properties that magically draw your loved one towards you. Love gemstones are symbolic of unconditional love, forgiveness, trust and bring harmony in relationships. You may gift your sweetheart a beautiful rose quartz heart pendant or a rose quartz telephone accessory. A rose quartz helps nurture deep love and affection in one's relationships. The red ruby gemstone has a unique charm of its own and brings passion and romance in your love life.

A mystic red ruby is a symbol of true love. Gifting your loved one traditional red ruby jewelry will bind the two of you together in love and commitment for years to come. An elite ruby ring or a lovely bracelet is sure to charm your lady. If you're planning to propose to the woman you love, a lovely ruby ring will speak your heart for you.

If you've been thinking of what best gift you can gift your man for his birthday or you want to gift him something just like that, a gemstone globe or a gemstone keychain or a quartz paper weight would be a great idea.

In case, you are missing your ex and want to get back once again, choose a lovely jade gemstone or lapis lazuli to rekindle lost love.

If you think you are falling short of time to shop for an exclusive gift, simply log on to the internet and look up some good sites where you can buy gemstones online.

Oh, My Aching Feet…I Wanna Foot Massage

You are on your feet all day.  Those boots weren't made for walking ;) or maybe it was those dress shoes.  Ugh.  You walk in the door and so wish that there was someone just waiting there with a foot bath and ready to massage your feet!  

Well, if you can't have that, you can have the next best thing.  I remember a few years back when we borrowed an electric foot massager for a "spa day" that some of us created for our kids' school teachers.  I must admit I really enjoyed having it.  It was freaking awesome!  I am thinking maybe it is time to check out some new ones :)

Oh, here is an awesome idea.  Would you love to create a special evening for your sweetheart - one he/she will never forget?  How about getting a foot massager…there are so many different kinds (check out relaxingfoot.com to compare)…you could then light some candles, run a hot bath, offer a full body massage (after the initial foot massage), have food delivered, play some soft music or a favorite movie and make your lover feel super special. Do you wish your partner would do this for you?  Well, maybe you should share this post on your FB wall or his/hers?  :)  **Hint hint.

Off to relax,

Texting Can Hurt Your Relationship

"In these modern times, it has become easier and easier to tune in to the television, your computer, your phone, or your iPad.  This means you are tuning out from your sweetheart and your intimate relationship.  It may not seem so at first, but eventually being turned on by your lover will wane and become secondary to today's media and digital gadgets and other priorities."

Lover to Lover - A Wedding Poem

Lover to Lover

I do not know why or how or from where I love you

My heart and my soul merge with yours

Our consciousness expands and shares

Abundant love with Mother Earth and the Universe

As we bare our souls and spread our wings

We come together and create this union, this oneness

We stand strong as equal parts

Yet, it is not understood where one ends and the other begins

My arms promise you a safe and sacred space

I open my heart to you trusting and loving

I take your hand and you take mine

I touch your soul and you touch mine

Together we traverse the journey called life

And, so it is.

How to Handle Infidelity

Surviving an affair means among other things that you are paying for someone else's failure.

There will be plenty of work to be done after the extramarital relationship because due to your actions you've done a lot of damage to your marital relationship which is hanging by a strand

Yet after discussing the situation with your mate they have made up their mind to stick with you. That means there is a lot of hard work ahead regarding coping with infidelity. In spite of true love as well as effort there are no guarantees that life will ever get back to normal or even that the spousal relationship itself will carry on. Even so to ensure that it does move in the right direction and beyond you will need to be ready to agree to particular guidelines.

1. Stop The Dishonesty

No question fabrication was a huge part of your toolkit. Let's be perfectly frank you can't successfully carry on a marital affair without it.

Yet making it through an extramarital relationship means it must stop now if you want to get back your significant other's trust. Any kind of lie regardless of how small that gets found out is only going to wreck any attempt to repair the marital relationship. In case your mate catches you in a small white fib then most likely they may believe you're being misleading regarding other issues.

And please, none of that self-delusional nonsense. You lied to shield them or you didn't believe that it was an issue. All of it amounts to the very same thing which is you're returning to your old ways of deception which drove you to have an affair to begin with. The old saying telling the truth is still the best policy must be the foundation stone of your marriage when it relates to getting over cheating.

2. No Self-Pity

It may seem that all the profound changes in lifestyle you are forced to go through along with the monitoring system needed to keep track of your behavior is not in accordance what you did. So you begin to feel sorry for yourself. You even attempt to diminish what you did. Cheating on your mate was not so bad you tell yourself. Definitely not as compared to what you are forced to undergo at this juncture. 
Stop right there. You're not the victim here and pretending that you are is only going to block the healing. Step back and make the concerted effort to not concentrate on you. Instead concentrate on your mate and the way they feel. In surviving an affair rebuilding the spousal relationship is the work of both individuals but the person impacted the most is your spouse whom you cheated on.

3. You Are Not The Decider

You come to a time during this rehab phase and make a decision that things are back to what they used to be so you start slacking on a few things. Absolutely wrong. It is important to accept the fact you are likely to munch on humble pie for some time. Just how long is awhile? Until your mate determines. It's about them feeling better not you.

Overcoming an affair means they essentially are in charge of how things will go. Yes they need to obtain your suggestions from time to time but in the end it's up to them. You can easily check out how things are going on occasion but don't seek to hurry the process or try to mold your spouse into seeing things your way. To be frank you did enough manipulating while you were cheating.

4. Be Attentive

There are certainly likely to be times when your mate wishes to vent. It is oftentimes a very essential recovery activity for surviving cheating. That may entail they talk about what you did again and again. Be prepared to pay close attention regardless of how frequently they bring it up. You wounded them deeply so discussing it again and again is a method to work through the anguish.

Do not assume your spouse to talk about it several times and then feel 100% better. A lot of people have to attend therapy for many years to deal with overcoming unfaithfulness. Unfaithfulness in a spousal relationship can ruin not only someone's self-esteem but destroy the psyche to the point all they can think about is what their mate did. It is an uncomfortable process you you placed them in so be ready whenever required to provide your undivided attention. by Daryl Campell Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/infidelity-articles/coping-with-infidelity-what-the-cheating-spouse-must-take-care-of-6750837.html Photo credit: familyfriendlypoems.com 

**Maybe.  Maybe not.  You can't know for sure unless you were there, but this is an interesting, if not odd, possibility.

Witches on Broomsticks and the X Rated Truth

By Michelle Haskins

Witches have always been depicted as ugly hideous beings that could cast spells on people and turn themselves into animals, such as black cats. We also know them as women that ride on broomsticks through the night sky with the moon at their backs. Why? How did it come to be that witches were immortalized with broomsticks? Has anyone ever seen a witch actually flying around? More than likely they have not.

The truth of the matter is in no way pretty, nor is it G rated. Long ago witches could have been considered the hippies of their time. They believed in using herbal medicine to cure many different types of ailments. At the same time they also believed they could cast spells upon people with the same theory. Hence the term witches brew for the concoctions that were created by them. Some of the main ingredients in these concoctions were animal body parts and organs as well as plants and plant extract. Soon it was discovered that certain plants could give a person a sense of euphoria when it was ingested, such as jimson weed or deadly night shade.

As the practice became more popular it was discovered that there was a down side. If too much of one plant was ingested through the stomach at once the results could be fatal. Soon witches realized that it could be ingested through various glands in the human body foregoing the metabolizing effect from the liver. They soon began creating creams and "ointments" from the plant extracts and rubbing them in their armpits and vaginas.

Witches then began to cover broomsticks with these creams and ointments. They would then straddle the staff and rub it on their vaginas, taking them to state of euphoria so that they appeared to be dancing or riding on their brooms. Depending on the amount that had been absorbed onto their body they may have felt as if they were indeed, flying.

We can look back through ancient art history and find paintings that lean towards this theory. There are several paintings that depict witches in the nude with their broomsticks. One painting in particular depicts an entire room of witches dancing around a room with their broomsticks, completely nude.

Luckily, we have evolved over time and now simply view witches as ugly women who have black cats and warts on the end of their noses, using their brooms only for the purpose of transportation.

Get some great ideas for Halloween this year. Spook Here If You Dare

Fall In Love On The Bus

“For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love; or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world.” - Russell Brand
