How to Be a Wingwoman

Wingwoman

The friend who will stay by your side when you go out and/or dance with you while clubbing in order to keep the ugly/creepy/scary guys at bay. Unlike a Wing Man, this is not the girl who occupies the hot guy's ugly friend. Unlike women, guys have no problem ditching their friends for the hook-up (they just say, "peace out, man, I got to go tap that" and the discussion is closed). Wing Women are usually hot or at least cute so that they are easy to pass off if there happens to be a not so ugly/creepy/scary guy with whom the other woman would like to hook up. The Wing Woman position may be held simultaneously within a pair or group of women.

1. If in a group setting, stand one person away from your guy (We'll refer to the guy you're helping out as your "guy" from this point on) to show other women that he's not your boyfriend.
2. If it's just the two of you (which is fine), make a little space between you and avoid touching him too much.
3. Look out into the crowd, keeping an eye out for potential women. It also shows that you're not consumed by his conversation.
4. Approach girls and start a conversation, but don't mention your guy yet. You can compliment something she is wearing to create a friendly vibe. Once you bring her back to the group, you can introduce them and start them on a conversation of their own. (E.g., make it appear coincidental that they might be attracted to one another.)
5. Find something to link to two in conversation. If you know about a certain interest that they have in common, mention it off-handedly, to get them going on the topic, but join in as well—don't just disappear. It will make both parties more comfortable.
6. Once they seem to be hitting it off, excuse yourself to get another drink or say a quick hello to someone else.

36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do Before She Settles Down

Erin Meanley, a dating blogger at Glamour, created a list of "key experiences every singleton should savor before they couple up." List is below. I've checked off stuff I've already done and there's still lots to tick off; looking forward to doing it all — whether single or dating.

To Build Your Confidence...

1. Go to a movie alone.

2. Lift weights.

3. Try surfing, water-skiing, or some activity you don't already know how to do. Could be riding a bicycle.

4. Take out the trash, set a mousetrap, do your taxes, build a bookcase.

5. Live alone, or at least move apartments in NYC without the help of family.

6. Train for (and finish) a huge physical test like a half-marathon.

7. Go to a scary doctor's appointment by yourself.

8. Quit your job.

9. Fly to a foreign country by yourself.

10. Learn to stand up for yourself.

To Be Able to Look Back and Say "I Had Fun"...

11. Witness something once-in-a-lifetime, like Jokulsarlon, a lake next to a melting glacier in Iceland.

12. Revel in being able to watch all the reality TV you want.

13. Get drunk during the day, just because you can. Attend Santacon, the convention for Santas, or something similar. [Living in Europe and/or being a soccer fan also granted the freedom to do this.]

14. Go on a date with someone who actually makes you nervous.

15. Go out with an older man who takes you somewhere nice and makes you feel like a million bucks.

16. Go out with a guy who makes you laugh 'til it hurts.

To Get Perspective...

17. Be a good wing-woman. It's not always about you.

18. Chill with your widowed and single grandma. She knows "alone"!

19. Volunteer.

To Make You Appreciate the Next Guy...

20. Do at least one Valentine's Day alone. [Oh, I was supposed to do only ONE??? ;)]

21. Attend a wedding (or 15) alone.

22. Date the creeps. You'll really value the nice guys afterward.

To Make You Feel Sexy and Attractive... 
23. Buy yourself some flowers.

24. Invest in a LBD (little black dress) and some sexy stilettos.

25. Sit at a bar by yourself and drink a martini.

26. Buy something frivolous and expensive that you LOVE wearing.

To Make the Most of Your Free Time...

27. Finish all your schooling if you can.

28. Throw yourself into something time-consuming, like learning a foreign language.

To Make Yourself a Better Partner in the Future...

29. Make a list of all your faults.

30. Learn to cook well.

31. Get some hobbies. [Film, art, soccer, travel, politics, etc.]

32. Let your married friends edit your online dating profile.

33. Get your finances in order.

To Appreciate Being Single...

34. Babysit someone's baby for an hour.

35. Help a friend through her divorce or a bad break-up.

36. Host a girls-only night. I think some coupled-up women forget how much we need each other.

Eye make-up remover: Nivea vs Garnier

Nivea - the better remover

Garnier

    



    Обичам да си слагам сенки и спирала на очите ..  И да бъда честна, не ми харесваше как Garnier Essentials eye make-up remover отстраняваше грима ми. Трябваше да търкам памучето на очите си, за да може да отстраня грима на 100%. 
     Новият продукт, който реших да пробвам е лосион за отстраняване на грим с двойно действие на NIVEA VISAGE Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover и мога да кажа, че съм сравнително доволна. Преди употреба трябва да се разклати добре, заради дифузната му формула - безцветна течност на дъното и тъмно синя на върха. Нанасям лосиона на памучен тампон и с няколко движение остранява грима ми. Не ми се налага да трия много силно, но не успявава на 100% да отстрани спиралата в основата на миглите ми. В сравнение със предишният продукт, който използвах, Nivea Visage e фаворитът ми!

      I love having eye shadows and mascara on my eyes .. To be frankly, I didn't like how my Garnier Essentials eye make-up remover removed my make-up :(  I had to rub the cotton оn my eyes, to make it sure it comes off.  
      The new product I decided to give it a try is NIVEA VISAGE Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover and I can say that I like it very much. Before using the eye make-up remover you have to shake it well, because of its ingredients - a white one on the bottom and a dark blue on the top. I apply the formula on a cotton and with some moves it removes my make up. I don't have to rub very hard but it can't remove completely the mascara of my lashes. Compared to the last product I used Nivea Visage is my new favorite product!

28. Черпиш докторите, които са те лекували в болницата.

 

29. До края на живота си, разказваш спомени от казармата, все едно това е най-великото нещо, което ти се е случило...

20 February - World Day of Social Justice

 20 February - World Day of Social Justice

       Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. We uphold the principles of social justice when we promote gender equality or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. We advance social justice when we remove barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability.

     For the United Nations, the pursuit of social justice for all is at the core of our global mission to promote development and human dignity. The adoption by the International Labour Organization of the Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization is just one recent example of the UN system’s commitment to social justice. The Declaration focuses on guaranteeing fair outcomes for all through employment, social protection, social dialogue, and fundamental principles and rights at work.

     The General Assembly proclaimed 20 February as World Day of Social Justice in 2007, inviting Member States to devote the day to promoting national activities in accordance with the objectives and goals of the World Summit for Social Development and the twenty-fourth session of the General Assembly. Observance of World Day of Social Justice should support efforts of the international community in poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, gender equity and access to social well-being and justice for all.

"Social justice is more than an ethical imperative, it is a foundation for national stability and global prosperity. Equal opportunity, solidarity and respect for human rights -- these are essential to unlocking the full productive potential of nations and peoples.."

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

5 life lessons

- First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.


During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."


I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.




2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain



One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..

It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.




3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.



In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, was one quarter, two dimes and five pennies.

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.




4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.



In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.




5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...



Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
