Some secret economical ways in achieving modern fashion senses. Colour coordination: At some point most of us did art in school and there are primary and secondary colours. The trick to complimenting an entire outfit is accentuating key areas of the intended pieces you are going to wear. The picture above draws a clear example: Matching is somewhat in but also out these days. You can wear a black dress and not necessary accessories it with black jewelry and black shoes, however it is an option but it looks very flat. The alternative would be a colour to make the black dress in fashion terms “pop”. Taking lead in the direction of “popping” the option of red accessories with red shoes or any other colour are more likely to change the entire character of the final outlook of the simple black dress. Ultimate goal: Achieving proper fashion sense does not take overnight but it is wise to start at some point. How many of us watch television or read magazines and dream about looking just as trendy as fashionistas or super stars? It is recommended to pay attention to your personal style if it’s on the simple side nothing is wrong with that, simplicity is just as alluring. However, persons with a more dramatic fashion sense tend to stand out and be the center of attention. It is all about learning who you are and projecting your style to make you comfortable at the end of the day.

Leading the way was Jade Mountain, a spectacular wing of the venerable Anse Chastanet, and neighboring Ladera, which just built an outdoor venue specifically for weddings. The southern Soufriere area is quieter and less developed. For more in the way of restaurants, nightlife and accommodations suitable for bigger parties, stay up north, where chic check-ins include three Sandals resorts and Cap Maison, seen on the finale of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love. Saint Lucia is one of the Caribbean’s prettiest destinations, rent a car and make the most of it.

You just ended your relationship and you now feel like your world is coming to an end. You have entered the mourning stage; it is now okay to grieve. After the grieving it is time to move, and clench your single life. You can choose to live a joyous or despair single live, the choice is yours.

You also have the freedom to discover who you really are and what makes you truly happy in life without having to take someone else's life into consideration. When you get into a relationship you are often influenced by your partners likes, dislikes, and beliefs.

Dream big and go after your dreams Remember that in order to be happy while you are single, you have to shift your focus to things that are worth being happy about.

When it comes to sex do not be afraid to explore with your partner. There is no glass ceiling when it comes to pleasure. Even if you're already pro in the bedroom, there's always room for growth. TRY EVERYTHING ONCE: If you're in a long-term relationship you need to be more adventurous, as doing the same things over again can become stale. Change things up a bit now and then . There is nothing more exhilarating than the unexpected, so experimenting with different positions or introducing a toy might be all that is needed to put the "oh yes!" back into your lovemaking. TALK ABOUT IT: Do not be afraid to let your partner knows what you want. In subtle way say, “I wish you would...." Or, if talking is difficult, use one of the books you bought and circle a position or chapter or story that indicates what you want.. TRY A DIFFERENT POSITION EVERY MONTH: While the missionary position is the most comfortable position, think outside the box. Think of creative positions that both of you will enjoy doing . Some positions to try up against a wall, doggy-style or leaning over a chair. Get erotica, sex positions books, Kama Sutra for more detail positions NEW LOCATION: Leave the bedroom along for a while, and try to pick a place that you haven't have sex before as this will aid in the excitement and add an additional rush element to it. Head for the kitchen, the laundry room and maybe even your car. QUICKIES: A really fun way to spice up your relationship is to engage in quickies. These are great because there will definitely come a time when you don't have 30 minutes to an hour to space or you're simply just too exhausted to give it your all. However, they can be a little tricky. They are supposed to be spontaneous, but there are definitely ways to help them go more smoothly. HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR SPOUSE: This about making sex with your spouse playful, a game to be played to keep up the intimacy, fun and the connection. To start, all it takes is one simple steamy text message or note, or doing something completely different and unexpected. Start flirting with your spouse like you used to. Give compliments and stand in awe when he or she walks in the room. Meet each other in hotel rooms and make out in the back seat of a car. Life is short. Sex is fun. Go do it!

Folk wisdom still retains knowledge of the healing properties of both honey and cinnamon. Honey and cinnamon are still used as medicine in many situations, especially among people who, because of distance or income, have reduced access to mainstream health care. Honey possesses natural anti-bacterial properties. Honey poured on wounds or burns prevents infection and promotes healing. Regular consumption of honey and cinnamon together, when combined with an overall healthy diet and moderate activity level, can prevent heart disease by clearing clogged arteries. Drinking honey and cinnamon in lukewarm water results in them moving through the bladder and cleansing it, as well as clearing infections there. Drinking this beverage on a regular basis can also relieve, and in some cases entirely cure, arthritis pain. This drink also strengthens the immune system, helping ward off colds as well as some viruses. Applying a paste of honey and cinnamon to infected gums can ease pain and bleeding as well as slow the progression of the infection. When consumed together, honey and cinnamon can ease digestion, helping to prevent gas. Honey and cinnamon also provide energy, making people more mentally alert and ready for physical activity.
