One Week To A Happy Heart
After a breakup, follow this routine for one week to get yourself back together:- Day 1- Cry a lot. Just stay home, listen to sad songs, and let it all out.
- Day 2- Lean on friends. Have your friends come over and let them say all the usual "friend" things, like "your too good for him anyway."
- Day 3- Clean house. Gather everything that reminds you of him like pics, cards, notes and either throw them away or box them somewhere where you won't find them.
- Day 4- Stop stalking him (online). Don't check for any new comments or status updates on his myspace or facebook, delete him from both!
- Day 5- Get real. Think of all the ways he was wrong for you.
- Day 6-Do good. Take your grandma for lunch or volunteer, doing something good will lift your spirits.
- Day 7-Flirt! Go out with your girls, put on a freakum dress and find you a new man!

Vintage Shopping
Golden Rules of Secondhand Shopping:- Get Addicted: In secondhand stores, inventory changes so often, so go at least once a week.
- Take your time: Look at the front and back of every piece. Something with a plain front could have a spectacular back.
- Inspect with care: Think twice before buying anything with holes, rips, stains, or loose pieces. Don't buy anything smelly, gross.
- Buy with passion: Real vintage is one-of-a-kind, so if you love it, don't leave without it.
Quote-"Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women."-Elsa Schiaparelli
Gorgeous In Pictures
Here's some easy tips to look gorgeous in any picture:- Look at a bright light before posing for a flash picture to avoid red eye.
- Roll your shoulders back and pose just your body (not your head) on an angle to appear taller and slimmer.
- Use your cheek muscles to tug your mouth into a relaxed grin.
- Drop your jaw to give you a longer and leaner face.
- Stick your neck out slightly to appear slimmer in the face.
- Don't stand in lighting that is brighter or darker than the area where your photographer is.
- Don't be afraid of the lens moving in for a close-up -- or the photographer following you around for a moment or two to catch you acting naturally.

Don't Be A Hater
Research shows that grudge-holders have higher blood pressure and more anxiety. Here's how to forgive and move on. - Feel the pain: Don't hold in your feelings, vent to a neutral party or write it down somewhere.
- Trade places: Try to see your friend's point of view. Even if you don't agree with what she did, maybe you can at least understand why she did it.
- Confront them: Tell your friend how their actions made you feel. It'll give them the perfect opportunity to apologize.
- Make peace: Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting, it means that your friendship is more important than your grudge.
Etiquette 101
The Ladies Room: Remember this, "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat." Leave the seat the way you'd like to find it. Flush and make sure it's all gone, and check that your paper towels go in the trash, not floor. - Table Manners: Respect customs, if you don't say grace, just quietly bow your head. Push aside any food you don't like instead of announcing that you don't like it.
- Adults: Hold doors open for people behind you, if you approach the door at the same time as an adult, let them go through first. Give up your seat for senior citizens, pregnant women, or disabled, it's just the right thing to do.
- Phone Behavior: Easy, if your in a movie, class, library, church, or hospital, put it on vibrate.

6 Things To Stop Feeling Bad About
Sending food back: You deserve to have your burger your way! - Asking a friend for a favor: What are friends for? Plus, they"ll know you will do the same.
- Returning a gift: It doesn't fit your bod or personality? Exchange it.
- Taking your doctor's time: Answering ?'s is part of their job.
- Saying no: At times you have to, that's life.
- Keeping private info under wraps: Certain stuff is nobody's business, that's why it's "private"

Things Every Single Girl Must Own
A fabulous photo of yourself: We all have that photo: The one where your smile, hair, and (let‘s be honest) bod all come together in one sexy little package. Post that sucker at eye level on your fridge so your male guest can‘t help but notice it. Keep a digital version handy so you can email it to online suitors or blind dates who want a glimpse of the goods beforehand. - A pretty pair of heels: Admit it. You feel like Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman, when you slip on a pair of nice heels. And no, they don‘t have to be towering stilettos, even a pair of 1-inch kitten heels will make you stride a little more confidently.
- A great pickup line... and a way to blow ‘em off: In this post-chivalrous period, we can‘t always depend on guys to initiate contact, so prepare thyself with one simple, non-cheesy icebreaker to lay on that cutie who‘s making his way to your area of the bar. A favorite: "Hi. Having fun?"
- Bathroom reading: What man doesn‘t appreciate finding interesting reading in his sweetie‘s bathroom? So instead of tossing out your magazines when you‘re done reading them, toss them into a basket by the toilet.
- A straight guy friend on speed-dial: Every girl knows she needs a gay bff she can go to for fashion advice. But when it comes to relationship advice, you need another source. While your female friends may have good intentions, if you really want to know if you should call that guy, save the guesswork and go to someone who‘s been there, done that.
- A condom: Hey ladies, you know the drill by now. If you want to be able to have spontaneous fun of the bodily kind, you have to prepare for it yourself. You can‘t always count on him to have something in his back pocket—or a 24-hour drugstore on the route home.

Kathy Griffin At The Majestic!
Hilarious Reality Star and Comedian Kathy Griffin will be appearing at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio on October 23, 2008! Tickets range from $40-75 dollars and go on sale Friday, 9/12/08 at 10 A.M. on Ticketmaster.
What's The Difference?
When browsing for perfume at Dillard's you see all different types of titles on most of the bottles, perfume, eau de parfum, and eau de toilette. Surprisingly they all mean something different and all have different concentrations which effect the scent, so here's the difference:- Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% perfume concentrates. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result.
- Eau de parfum, contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and generally doesn't cost as much as extract perfume.
- Eau de toilette, has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the morning

GORGE!
