<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hey lovely ones!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've not posted anything in a while but I decided to do post today because I get asked this question ALL the time. A number of you whom I've seen privately, have asked why I'm so against women chasing men. What is the harm in it when everyone's doing it and most guys don't seem to mind it at all? In fact they seem to expect it these days.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">True, true and true again. But here's the one defining question, and it's the ONLY one that matters - <span style="color: red;">How has that worked for you?</span> And if you're reading this article then I'm going to bet that it probably hasn't.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Chasing unpacked</span> </b><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Just so we're clear, I'll unpack exactly what 'chasing' entails in a romantic relationship. <br /><br />In a nutshell, chasing is when you take the bull by the horns and initiate contact. From texting or voice noting him chirpy good morning messages to long chatty emails, quick phone calls just to 'hear your voice', creating cutesy memes and tagging him in it, checking your phone every two minutes for a message from him, whatsaping him countless photos of you, sending him 'reminders' that you're around, inviting him to events or family functions, asking him to help you hang a frame or screw in a lightbulb, buying him gifts or tickets to a show, liking every one of his facebook posts ... these are ALL examples of you initiating contact or chasing a man. And <span style="color: red;">instead of inspiring him to come closer, all you're doing is chasing him away. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why he's running</b></span> <br /><br />Looking back, and knowing what I do now, this running behaviour makes perfect sense. Close your eyes for a quick second and imagine that a predatory animal (like a lion or a tiger) is chasing you. What are you going to do? You'll run like hell, right?! And that's exactly what guys do. When we chase after masculine men, <span style="color: red;">we start looking like predatory animals and their instinctive reaction, is to run.</span> Fast! Most of the time, they don't even properly realise why they're running. In fact at first they're trying to figure out what's going on and so they allow it for a while, until it just feels too weird <span style="color: red;">'something feels very off</span>' and they know they've got to get away as quickly as possible.<br /><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Natural hunters</b></span> <br /><br />That 'something' is the upside down nature of events. Men are natural hunters. It's wired into their DNA and even though this is the 21st century, DNA is DNA, it's wired tight and there's no getting away from it.<br /><span style="color: red;"><br />Masculine energy men thrive on the thrill of the chase.</span> But when YOU chase a man, it upsets the natural order of things. It feels wrong. Not just to the man but at your deepest level, it feels wrong to you too. How do you know it? It's that uncomfortable/ panicky feeling you have in your gut every time you do it. And is followed by the even more uncomfortable/ panicky feeling when he takes hours to respond or he responds with one word or even worse, doesn't respond at all and disappears on you. He's just gone gone gone and you're left totally and utterly puzzled, hurt and rejected.<br /><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>High quality masculine men</b></span> <br /><br />To stop that happening to you again, ladies, STOP chasing. You don't ever need to chase a man. In fact,<span style="color: red;"> you don't have to do a single thing but be true to your natural feminine self.</span> If a quality masculine man is 'in' to you, he'll do the chasing. You simply lean back and if he's meant to be in your life, trust me, he will find his way there through hell or high water. <br /><br /> A real man will follow you to the end of the earth and be happy doing it. This I know from personal experience. <span style="color: red;">A real man will cross oceans and shower you with deep love and affection just so he can be part of your world.</span> This is not a grand fairy tale, this is how real high quality masculine men show up when they've found the right woman. <br /><br /> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Feminine energy</span> </b><br /><br />When you're involved with a masculine energy man, there is no need to chase. Guys who enjoy having a woman chase after them or expect it, are operating in feminine energy, and are not the type of men who will <span style="color: red;">value you like the amazing queen that you are. <br /> <b> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Let him VALUE you</b></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br />I know this is a bit much to take in so let's just stop for a second and think about it. We value what we work for and real masculine energy men are exactly the same, they value what they have to work for.<br /><span style="color: red;"><br /> When a man has worked hard for something whether it is a home, promotion, vehicle or the heart of an woman, you can be sure that he places great value on it.</span> But when YOU chase him, you rob him of the opportunity to work … and in turn, you also rob him of the opportunity to value you. <br /><br /> If a man does not value you, then he feels no urgency to build a life with you. If a man does not value you, he feels no urgency to claim you as his partner/ wife.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">So my ladies please<b> STOP BEING YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY </b>and stop shooting yourself in the foot by chasing men. Trust me, it'll only mess up any chance you have with a high quality masculine man.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">To find out what you SHOULD do to develop a deep emotional connection with your guy, keep following my posts. Next one will be on behaviours that seem crazy but work like a bomb!</span><br /><br /> <b>XXX<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Amiena</span></b><br /><br /> I hope I've answered this question for you.

<li>Tests conducted by experts from the Journal of Cosmetic Science verify that Vaseline is non-comedogenic which means that it <b>does not clog pores, irritate skin, or cause acne.</b></li>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />A friend of mine recently identified his life's purpose. <br /><br />Within hours I saw him transform from someone dabbling at something he loved, to a man on a mission. Fascinated, I watched as over a really short period of time, I'm talking days, his vision began to take shape. The whole universe, it seemed, was conspiring to help him.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> How exactly I don't know, but the results themselves were indisputable. Help and opportunities seemed to come from the most unexpected places, often without him even looking for it. The Law of Attraction was hard at work, and my friend I'm humbled to say, is just a hair's breath away from living to his full purpose... It takes my breath away.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />This got me thinking about My Life's Purpose. At almost 40, I have yet to identify what it is. This is not a judgement - we arrive at our answers precisely when we're meant to, so if now is my time, then ... <i>now</i> is my time.<br /><br />Research on how to Discover Your Life's Purpose lead me to countless approaches, some more involved than others. Simple works for me so this is the approach I chose. I thought we could do it together!<br /><br />Here Is <b>How to Discover your Life Purpose in 4 Steps</b></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Use a blank page or a word processor. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Write or type “What is my true purpose in life?”.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jot down any answer that pops into your head. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Repeat Step 3 until you arrive at the answer that makes you cry. </span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is as simple as that. Keep at it until the answer finally arrives. You may find it is a combination of answers. It could take 15 minutes or hours, but you will recognize it when it arrives by the way the words</span><span style="font-size: large;"> vibrate and resonate with you.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><b>THIS is your purpose in life.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'll be sharing my Life's Purpose with you in my next post, and I would love it if you shared yours with me.</span><br />

You Guys!<br />
<br />
Sooooooo, I recently had the huuuge crazy pleasure of interviewing Rapper/ Hip Hop artist Lay Roo while on set filming the music video for his latest single Beautiful Sooperstar, which just so happens to feature the smooth vocals of my boo, Roeshdien - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/roeshdien.jass?hc_ref=NEWSFEED">Mr jAZ</a>.<br />
<br />
Killer!!! Killer song and such great guys. I had so much fun. And Beautiful Sooperstar ... this song... do yourself a favour and have a listen. I'm posting the links to it on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/beautiful-sooperstar-feat./id1126560840?i=1126560905">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/layroo/beautiful-sooperstar">Soundcloud</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bmu6r7ysahz6nijnkic2cirgi3i">Google Play Music Store</a> right here. You can thank me later :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lay Roo, the sooperhero himself</div>
<br />
<b>What's Beautiful Sooperstar about?</b><br />
Love. It’s about a guy trying to understand what has him so mesmerised by his girlfriend, until he realises that it’s the sweet little things she does that makes him fall so madly in love with her. I learned a lot from previous relationships and along the way, I discovered that love is all about the little things. <br />
<b><br />How is it different to your other work?</b><br />
It’s very different! I’m no stranger to fusing genres but I’ve never really done anything with Jazz before. I wanted to reach a new audience; an audience who generally is not a fan of hip-hip and try to “change their minds”. <br />
<br />
<b> How did Mr jAZ come to be on board?</b><br />
I started working with Mr. Mallum on Crazy Sooper Hero Dreams and we needed a hook for this song. He suggested that Mr. jAZ would be perfect. The moment jAZ wrote those lyrics and laid down those vocals…oooooo! <br />
<br />
<b>When did you record it and who produced it?</b><br />
We recorded it on Christmas eve back in 2012. It was produced by Ebrahim Mallum. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Why hip hop?</b><br />
Because I can’t sing!I joke! I joke! When I first started listening to NWA, KRS One, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Snoop, Cypress Hill, The Fresh Prince and P.O.C, to name a few…there was just something about it ... love at first bar! I was actually born with a speech impediment so I couldn’t really express myself. I started writing poetry in order to do so and they later turned into songs. Hip hop is the medium that speaks to my songs.<br />
<br />
<b>What do you think is the biggest challenge facing hip hop artists in SA? </b><br />
Rap always get a bad rap. There are so many challenges and they’re all big. But hip hop still has this ‘negative stigma’ or dark cloud hanging over it. Maybe because there’s so much truth in what we are saying in our music, and it strikes a nerve. <br />
<br />
<b>Where do you generally draw your inspiration from?</b><br />
Life, and the things that I see going on around me, Sooperhero characters and the things that I’ve been through or am still going through in life. I get the craziest ideas after a training session.<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lay Roo showing off his fit self</div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>You're pretty fit. What's that about and why is it so important to you?</b><br />
I used to play a lot of sport but when I got older, I picked up some injuries and some bad habits, and became quite unfit. I found it hard to write but that all changed once I embraced a healthy lifestyle. So many childhood dreams of mine have already come true because of fitness. <br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Why sooperhero with 2 oo's? </b><br />
The two o’s are actually two smiley faces. The first smiley represents the good and the 2nd, the bad. We all have good and bad within us, even Sooperheroes have flaws, we just have to make sure that we live our lives with the scale tipping in favour of the good.<br />
<br />
<b>Who is your sooperhero?</b><br />
I have many. All my life I looked up to these heroes and I still do but if I can quote one of my favourites - Bruce Lee, “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own!" So that’s what I did. I learned something from each one of them and added my own.<br />
<br />
<b>What are your crazy sooperhero dreams and what's next for Lay Roo?</b><br />
I’ve got enormous dreams and I am only just getting started! I don’t want to give away my next move but what I can tell you is that I’ve just returned from Europe and am getting ready to launch the first Crazy Sooperhero Dreams EP.<br />

<br />
I've always wanted bigger eyes. Always. I've thought about it loads, and I've decided that we've got Disney to blame for it. Think about it ... can you mention a single Disney princess (except for Mulan, that is) who doesn't have huge sparkling languid eyes? … Exactly!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, that's what today's tutorial is all about, I'm going to show you 7 foolproof tips for creating BIG Beautiful Bambi Eyes.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>STEP 1 - CONCEAL DARK CIRCLES</b></div>
<div>
Dark circles make your eyes look tired and small. Gently apply concealer, I use LA Covergirl HD Pro Concealer or NYX full coverage HD concealer, in a triangular shape into your undereye area. Set with translucent powder. <b><br /></b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmXeyHm6vyPOxoOxrPv-D11lYKDOMBmgM-1VLpwKPMzgvYWZTu0J4YoBJpuEBrDXGX_JnZN8kg1UnzUzBDXqrhzy77xQfGkPhYpJnNOVlnXZSJmBgUwS4Mnz44YXhm1rPCF1DaKVDvCE/s1600/undereye+concealer.jpg"><img border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmXeyHm6vyPOxoOxrPv-D11lYKDOMBmgM-1VLpwKPMzgvYWZTu0J4YoBJpuEBrDXGX_JnZN8kg1UnzUzBDXqrhzy77xQfGkPhYpJnNOVlnXZSJmBgUwS4Mnz44YXhm1rPCF1DaKVDvCE/s640/undereye+concealer.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<b> STEP 2 - CREATE A CHAMPAGNE PALETTE </b><br />
Apply a champagne-coloured eyeshadow into the inner corner of your eyes - next to your tear duct, and entire eyelid. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b> STEP 3 - CONTOUR ABOVE CREASE</b><br />
Grab a small fluffy brush and using a back and forth windscreen wiper motion, lightly sweep a medium brown matte eyeshadow just above the crease of your eyelid, and blend well. By blending it slightly above your crease (instead of in the crease) you're creating the illusion of a bigger, rounder eye.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWH4LxJeuM_jsn6z8_uL7mhgkl6k-QTumnNI7XnLdEmlg8k_0Zt4yBIq4bjCm64DOEqC-Nct3y4WYW_J9zfl5Sm0vfbbSqRY08HZqV0gkExK9guqzIhTNq9oSzhTHAo58FK9-wYCoYJdI/s1600/contour+crease.jpg"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWH4LxJeuM_jsn6z8_uL7mhgkl6k-QTumnNI7XnLdEmlg8k_0Zt4yBIq4bjCm64DOEqC-Nct3y4WYW_J9zfl5Sm0vfbbSqRY08HZqV0gkExK9guqzIhTNq9oSzhTHAo58FK9-wYCoYJdI/s640/contour+crease.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b> STEP 4 - NUDE EYE PENCIL INCREASES THE SIZE OF YOUR EYE</b><br />
Do not line your waterline with black eye khol (see right eye) - it'll shrink the size of your eye faster than you can say eek! Use a nude eye pencil instead and it'll double the size of your eyes (left eye) by making the whites of your eyes appear bigger. I swear swear swear by NYX Wonder Pencil. Absolute miracle.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b> STEP 5 - LINE OUTSIDE LASHES</b><br />
Grab a dark brown eyeliner or dip a small flat brush into a matte dark brown eye shadow and apply it just above your top lashes. Starting from the outside edge and working your way to the middle, do the same beneath your lower lashline to make your eyes look rounder. Blend to soften.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRv0pw63eUlAGPMQGo-Te8TgaObGJr_G_GU7xy-Iw1TUGVsUgOkIFmSr3La3cRHFunvB3nKt-2wYQiAxuF7s9gPBuxCEiqDMh0XBsJ4xTkLY9nQ7pnEuM6TSjfPDSXf_dGBm8p_gPXAE/s1600/Asian-Eye-Makeup-with-Asian-Winged-Eyeliner.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRv0pw63eUlAGPMQGo-Te8TgaObGJr_G_GU7xy-Iw1TUGVsUgOkIFmSr3La3cRHFunvB3nKt-2wYQiAxuF7s9gPBuxCEiqDMh0XBsJ4xTkLY9nQ7pnEuM6TSjfPDSXf_dGBm8p_gPXAE/s640/Asian-Eye-Makeup-with-Asian-Winged-Eyeliner.jpg" /></a> <br />
<br />
<br />
<b> STEP 6 - WING IT</b><br />
Use a liquid or gel liner to line your lop lid and create a wing. This'll make your eye's look a lot wider.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTR2ewpJYlDSsHiX7T0cHw13UPXcEz-RzvwP7_MxknvEeg1Y5pQ3tbGy8OuqAWL007WmQW7-nV29iRONmMpmjKzmBoH3D1-v1dzBdaUutigQcVugBCSeHIsc52mSZtSc8Jp908PxCFOBg/s1600/wing.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTR2ewpJYlDSsHiX7T0cHw13UPXcEz-RzvwP7_MxknvEeg1Y5pQ3tbGy8OuqAWL007WmQW7-nV29iRONmMpmjKzmBoH3D1-v1dzBdaUutigQcVugBCSeHIsc52mSZtSc8Jp908PxCFOBg/s640/wing.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b> STEP 7 - OPEN YOUR EYES</b><br />
Apply mascara to both your top and bottom lashes. Mascara opens up your eyes, creating the impression of a rounder eye, giving you a wide eyed look. </div>
<div>
<br />

<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
my marriage ended, I thought that was it as far as allowing anyone
close to me ever again. It took 4 years to recover from it
emotionally. And then one day, some ten months ago I looked up and
started noticing things again. Friends and family began saying it's
time you met someone, you have so much love to give. </span></span>

</span></span>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
joined an online dating website and met a charismatic man. We chatted
for 2 months, met in person, hit it off and dated for 4 months. In
that short space of time we broke up 5 times. </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

</span></span>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
ended it each time because he would fly off the handle when he
couldn't reach me, became verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive,
raged that I treated him like an option not a priority, and
repeatedly accused me of seeing, dating, sleeping with scores of
other men. </span></span>

</span></span>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Each
time he swore it wouldn't happen again. But of course it did. Again
and again. That's when I realised I was in a relationship with a
'Controller', so I took back control and ended it for good.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Looking
back there were definite signs that he was a 'Controller'. They're
easy to spot if you know what to look out for. Acquaint yourself with
the signs and help raise awareness or warn those you care about
against entering into relationships with individuals exhibiting these
disturbing traits.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He
wants to get serious immediately. Wants to date exclusively after

wants to control every aspect of your life. He checks up on you all

what you're discussing. Eventually, he tells you that you can't talk
to certain friends, or talk about certain issues in public. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He
critisises everything you do and works hard to break your self esteem
by constantly putting you down or questioning your actions. You end
up “walking on eggshells” always fearing you are doing or saying
something that will create a temper outburst or argument. Instead of
experiencing the warmth and comfort of love, you're constantly on

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It
takes a long time and immense effort to change a 'Controller', and
the possibility that he may never change is huge because he simply
doesn't see fault with anything he does. I didn't mention physical
abuse because I didn't experience it, but many 'Controllers' do
become violent and the longer you stay, the stronger the possibility
of him abusing you physically becomes. In extreme cases, 'Controllers'
have been known to kill their partners.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Really?! Honestly? Who even does that these days. Man, I barely
managed 5 years (and 2 of those we were separated and living on
different continents – that's how <i>married</i> we were). Anyway,
this lasting marriage business got me wondering how it was possible.
So I asked my mum and she reckons it's all in the choosing.<b> </b></span></span><br />

PATIENT & TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER </span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">My
mum's father and my dad's grandfather were bosom buddies all their
lives. Though my mum and dad didn't meet until they were in their
twenties and didn't marry until they were 26 and 31 respectively,
they knew each other and each other's families inside out.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">2.
CHOOSE SOMEONE YOU SHARE CHARACTERISTICS WITH </span></span>

Tom and I got married, we'd known each other for about 5 months and
were still very charmed by how very different we were.. He is super
organised. I'm flighty like a chicken. Those same differences quickly
came back to bite us in the bum.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">My
parents both came from working class backgrounds. They were raised
modestly and taught a whole lot of honesty, reliability, emotional
generosity, kindness, tolerance and respect. When it came to choosing
a life's partner, those are the traits they looked for, because those
are the traits they'd seen their parents practise to make married
life work.</span></span><br />

do, but at least you'd have the same faith in common. I'm a Muslim,
Tom is a lapsed Christian who embraced Islam to marry me. A short

mum is fiery, is involved in every committee in the area and loves
being in the thick of things. My dad ruminates and loved the solitude
of fishing when he was still able to fish. They adapted to marriage
and to each other, clashed mightily, and yet never put pressure on one other to be anything other than themselves. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">So many couples go into marriage assuming that their partner wants children as
much as they do, and are bitterly disappointed when it turns out to
not be the case. Often the disappointment is too great to bear and the marriage falls apart. The same applies to money matters - how you
will handle it, and who will take care of what. Prevent future disillusionment and be transparent about what you expect.<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></span><br />

I've just seen my and Harris's etickets for our December holiday in the UK with my mum in law Jan and Tom! Aaaahhhhhhhhhh it's going to be so good! We'll be in our 'second home', Devon, and it may even snow! And maybe we could go sleighing and build snow men and lie in the snow and make snow angels. Squealing with excitement... for Harris... of course...</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We'll be there for most of December and best of all ... for Christmas! Our first UK Christmas in 3 years. You'll laugh but I took one look at those etickets and straightaway, my cheesy head just filled with Christmas songs, ... right this minute, Chris Reah and I are dueting (quite loudly) to<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDt3u2Ev1cI" target="_blank"> "Driving home for Christmas".</a> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Christmas. Yup, you either love it or hate it. Me? I love it. Unabashedly, unashamedly so and have done so since primary school. When I was little my grandmother took care of us grandchildren in the afternoon after school. My tiny beautiful grandmother of the long silver plaits wound like a coronet around her head, was a very pious Muslim always conscious of passing Islamic knowledge onto her grand kids. Well, Christmas would draw closer and I'd get caught up, filled to the brim with Christmas spirit and, utterly unable to help myself, I'd have to make a mad dash outside onto her stoep and belt out those Christmas carols and songs at the top of my squeaky voice for all the world to hear... And at some point my poor gentle grandmother would be alerted to my indiscretions and mortified out of her mind, would rush out to drag me back inside. Bless her beautiful soul!</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've given up trying to understand any of it. And now, knowing that I'll be seeing Jan, who is just the funnest mother-in-law, especially at Christmas time, and Tom who lives for festivities and treating Harris, I can hardly wait. Looking so forward to crafting handmade decorations and doing up the house, all kitsch and festive, Harris decked out like the Michelin man as we traipse through woods to choose the most perfect Christmas tree, singing along to Christmas songs on Radio 2, Christmas games and quizzes with close family and friends and watching Harris, quivering with excitement on Christmas morning and tearing through his mountain of presents. </span></span></span></span><br />

contribution, as you may well imagine, is a lot more pie in the sky.
You know me, it's pie or nothing! I get to do <span style="font-size: x-small;">image consulting</span> with the residents and show them how to dress, how to improve their posture, shake hands when entering an
interview room and project their voices and speak to impress - a bit like they do at finishing school! We also
do giggly girly things like have make up workshops, beauty
treatments, and spa days where we give each other treatments. Those are amazing, and oh my... how good isn't it to see them<span style="font-size: x-small;"> light up and
laugh</span>, forget their troubles and behave like carefree women for a few
hours! I love those days best. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>

Most of the time it's wonderful being there and so rewarding to see the residents grow more <span style="font-size: x-small;">hopeful and
positive about their futures</span> with each passing week. Yet, there is no escaping the moments where I find myself floored, listening as a resident
opens up and relates something of her life story. Shocked to the core,
it once again hits home that so many women's lives are a harsh,
brutal reality. </span>

are the days that I leave tearful, my heart heavy. I get home and hug

comes out when she sees my face as I enter. I'm so incredibly
blessed. I have little but I have so very much. We're the lucky ones.
What luxury to be sitting here reading blogs and sipping lattes, and
<span style="font-size: x-small;">enjoying the favours we take for granted</span> every single day. Let's not

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So this past Saturday I had the crazy pleasure of meeting the delightfully<b> </b>zany<b>
<span style="font-size: small;">Aziza Manie Dramat</span>, </b>of <span style="font-size: small;"><b>Orchid Laser and Beauty Spa</b></span> in Wetton, Cape Town. <br />
<br />
*For those of you who don't know, Orchid Laser offers permanent, pain-free
laser hair removal (along with other beauty therapies) at reasonable
prices. <br />
<br />
Now, having previously experienced laser hair removal and vowing to NEVA EVA
EVVVVA go there again, I was justifiably a sceptic, a cynic just waiting to be
proven right... <i>everyone</i> knows that laser hair removal could only ever
mean excruciating, mind numbing, heart stopping pain. <i>Right?!</i><br />
<br />
Only ... I was wrong. I was SO wrong. Beauties, it doesn't have to mean that anymore.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

... That wily woman Aziza , she knew what was going on behind my fake smile and
offered me a free demo. Her weapon of choice - <b>the <span style="font-size: small;">Harmony Pain-Free Hair-Free
laser hair removal system</span></b><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> <span style="color: black;">which heats the hair in your follicles and stops it from producing new hair while keeping your skin cool and comfortable. To start with, you don a pair of protective shades, Aziza enters your details into a touchscreen which calculates the degree of laser required,<b> <span style="font-size: small;">lubes you up</span></b> with an icy gel, and runs the hand piece across the
area you're having lasered. I had my lower arms done and ... it took all of 16
minutes per arm. </span></span><span style="color: #888888;"><br />
</span><br />
16 painLESS minutes. So <span style="font-size: small;"><b>utterly painless</b></span>, I was weeping in wonder. Seriously,
it was so good, I could easily have had my bikini area lasered while leisurely sipping
on a honeybush (yeah I went there) tea from precious china teacups, and musing on
the state of the nation. You get where I'm going with this right? No pain. Nada.
Not even a smidgen. </span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I'm going back and getting <i>everything</i> done!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

professions of undying adoration, naturally had the last laugh. That woman, she
knows her story, and I am now her <span style="font-size: small;"><b>most ardent fan</b></span>. A true convert, and most satisfyingly

so my new beauty guru Aziza and I, will be <b><span style="font-size: small;">working closely together</span> </b>over the
course of the next two months, <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">to </span><b>get her website up</b></span> and running. And get this,
I will be<b> <span style="font-size: small;">trying out</span></b> all her treatments<b> </b>and reporting back to you! We're talking laser fat reduction, laser healing, laser facials, body talk sessions etc. etc. HAPPINESSS! </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

For now, can I just say that I am loving my soft, <span style="font-size: small;"><b>smooth as a

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Today
we're talking nose contouring, which is the way you contour your nose to
make it look longer and slimmer. What do I love about it? How it TOTALLY
changes the way you look!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I don't do this everyday. I'm okay with my nose, it's round and in summer
it's covered in freckles and I've gotten to the point where I'm good with it ... but when I really
<i>really</i> want to look all sharp and swish, well then I'm
not going to turn up my nose to a bit of contouring.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">First
time I saw it done, I could not believe how it completely changed the
model's face. I gasped, hit pause, scrambled over to my mirror and
tried to replicate what I'd just seen. The results, though still
quite rough at that point, were... wow. The person staring back at
me had a thin nose. It was crazy! And cool! And crazy! But mostly
just tres tres treeeeeeees cool!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dip a small shadow brush into a cool matte brown press powder/eye shadow and moving down from your brows, draw two thin lines, close to each other, along the inside length of your nose.

<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It's not a good idea to use bronzer to contour your nose. Bronzer adds warmth to your face. For contouring to look natural, it needs to look like a shadow
– hence the cool matte brown shade.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Concealer/ highlighter is really really important. Using just the press powder/
eye shadow will make your nose look like a brown blob on your face.
You need the lighter shade to illuminate your nose.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">So, ... a few days back I ran into the inspiration behind a poem I wrote almost 15 years ago called Between Forked Paths.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So you know how I love makeup right? I do, i DO, I DO ... honestly it still blows my mind how it can completely change how you look and feel. For example there'll be days when I'm like "Uhhhhh life is blehhhhhh".... and then for the heck of it, I'll do my face and straightaway, the person looking back at me from my mirror looks like she couldn't possibly have a blehhhhhh day in her life, and immediately my day becomes all sunshine and bubbles. It's pretty powerful and it's definitely one of the great things about makeup. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lately though I've been loving this other buzz. The one where I go around without a thing (besides moisturiser) on my face. Honestly it's a little scary and ... a little liberating. Scary because I've always had hangups that makeup has always been able to fix, and liberating because suddenly those things don't seem to matter all that much anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not saying I've giving up my pots and paints. Heck no, they're wayyy too much fun. I guess I'm just exploring alternate ways of being, and liking it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What does it mean though?! Could I really finally have gotten to that point where I accept myself with all my imperfections. Where I say 'Hey love, don't sweat the small stuff. You're great just as you are. You're worthy and valuable and you matter no matter what you look like, what you've done or where you are in life." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Two weeks back I got fitted with new frames and ... they're so lush (big cheesy smile) and that's why this post is all about how to do<b> MAKEUP for GIRLS with GLASSES, and be Geek Chic. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm near sighted with a high script and have been wearing spectacles since I was about 2. Growing up I was so horribly self conscious about them, that as soon as I was able to, I switched to contact lenses and its really, only recently that I've allowed myself to 'accept' that <b>its actually cool to wear glasses in public</b>. Hurrah!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thing is, my near sighted high script means that my eyes look a lot smaller which is eeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!! a huge NO NO, so I do what I can to minimise the effect. If you're far sighted then it's likely that you have the opposite issue - your eye look bigger. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And that brings us to these<b> tips which I've been obsessing about,</b> and now want to share with you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>EYES </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Focus on your eyes. Pretty self explanatory right? But really, it <i>really </i>is all about the eyes. For us myopic girls, the whole exercise is a desperate attempt to make our eyes appear bigger to counterbalance the effect of our high script lenses. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyhoo, here's what I do once I've applied my foundation, and done a bit of highlight and contouring;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Undereye </b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTotfOWkcB36W84iicqyD6wMPdti9IfnP82b9XjYEjVt6yGeX4tQfAIDaWLoJAdKA0B6OKpwMKIPJWYqiOg3Pz2D1MAbVG9MsQdJ81x7elvXxkJ_gBh-mwIgDn1n2vMPR5objTZOo5UFA/s1600/Undereye+concealer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTotfOWkcB36W84iicqyD6wMPdti9IfnP82b9XjYEjVt6yGeX4tQfAIDaWLoJAdKA0B6OKpwMKIPJWYqiOg3Pz2D1MAbVG9MsQdJ81x7elvXxkJ_gBh-mwIgDn1n2vMPR5objTZOo5UFA/s1600/Undereye+concealer.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Invest in a good undereye concealer. It is without equal your most essential makeup purchase, and your best friend when wearing glasses. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gently pat on undereye concealer and set with translucent powder. Very important especially in the hot summer months when your concealer's melting off your face within minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Highlight the area under your eye to brighten your face. I highlight in a triangular shape that extends along the sides of my nose to the edge of my eye.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Eyelid</b></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Keep things simple here and use a shimmery (NOT glittery) eye shadow in natural shades such as nudes, champagne, soft golds or bronze. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Glittery, bold coloured lids (bright greens, blues, pinks etc.) will compete with your frames and could have you looking like you stepped out of the 70s ... which depending on where you're at, may or may not be a good thing? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Top Lash Line </b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQiK1TZY54DKVl4iiJhRw3unmKaCkMUJ3BlPxkIPQNxb_HzPkmIbCfCBfM6fnPr-BZFt0yLdl6XVhIoYuRq0FYZ5s9o0tcPikr5l9keLAzC9C0YvX71dhcXlBH5BJBGEroed0h3NyLY0o/s1600/cateye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQiK1TZY54DKVl4iiJhRw3unmKaCkMUJ3BlPxkIPQNxb_HzPkmIbCfCBfM6fnPr-BZFt0yLdl6XVhIoYuRq0FYZ5s9o0tcPikr5l9keLAzC9C0YvX71dhcXlBH5BJBGEroed0h3NyLY0o/s1600/cateye.jpg" height="400" width="265" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Black gel or liquid liner against your top
lash line ending in a cat eye does wonders for opening up your eyes, and
making them appear bigger and wider. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also don't feel like you need to keep your gel liner super super thin. With glasses I tend to double the width of my gel liner. I'm not talking Amy Winehouse wide, but enough to be noticeable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Rule of thumb - the thicker your frame, the thicker your gel liner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Water Line</b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYh-p7sXJ7jb9Z-B_Ay-8YIBSxaX9dtKFdN64NXn5uGMHiWAoUEBCDpmEKF4PqZnVMOHsi0JJ4PDugPxtdy4wUAMiUvVMmALmQpo-VIrWNhwgtklMOlC0cN6yrmyuUs5Gh1v7VuPafTU/s1600/white+eyeliner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYh-p7sXJ7jb9Z-B_Ay-8YIBSxaX9dtKFdN64NXn5uGMHiWAoUEBCDpmEKF4PqZnVMOHsi0JJ4PDugPxtdy4wUAMiUvVMmALmQpo-VIrWNhwgtklMOlC0cN6yrmyuUs5Gh1v7VuPafTU/s1600/white+eyeliner.jpg" height="400" width="279" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Line your waterline with a white or champagne eyeliner to make your eyes appear larger in an instant. I use a champagne liner as white's a bit too stark on me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(p.s. I am in love with my champagne eyeliner. I use it for any number of things - to conceal blemishes, brighten the inner corner of my eye, highlight the bridge of my nose, and the bow of my lips. One word - Miracle Worker)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Lower Lash Line </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Line the outer three quarters of your lower lash line with a dark eyeliner - navy, burgundy and brown eyeliners favour everyone and are less harsh than black.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lashes</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mascara and lots of it. Two coats if you please, on both your top and bottom lashes and ... you're looking for all the world like a deer caught in headlights. Precisely the look we're going for!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaaand Eyes are done, lets move on to;</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>EYEBROWS </b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Glasses, especially the bold, larger framed ones in fashion right now, can make you look a little top heavy as they draw all attention to the upper part of your face. Restore the balance with a gorgeous bold lip. Think exciting reds, bright pinks or kissable corals. mwah!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So these are what works for me, and I hope that you find some of them useful. I've come to really love my glasses, high script and all, and find them such a fun accessory with which to change up my look. Especially now that I know how to get the most out of them. Yayyy glasses!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let me know what you think, whether any of these worked for you, and oh! please drop me any other glasses makeup tips. I'd love to have them.</span><br />

<p dir="ltr">Okay so you know how everyone thinks that highlighting and contouring is hard? Well ... that's just plain not true. You could do it with your eyes closed!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Honestly it's super simple and once you have the right products (you only need 3 - a Foundation about 3 shades darker than your skin colour/ Bronzer, a Highlighter & a Blush) then this must-know makeup technique becomes a walk in the park. Seriously, if I can do it, then you definitely can too. </p>
<p dir="ltr">See the diagram below? All you have to do is follow it and apply the products as shown. It's as simple as that... sort of like colouring by numbers!</p>
<p dir="ltr">STEP 1: Apply your dark foundation/ bronzer to the brown areas;</p><p dir="ltr">STEP 2: Next apply your highlighter (I dab it on with my fingers) to all the yellow areas;</p><p dir="ltr">
STEP 3: Then apply your blush to the pink bits.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally get out your big fluffy blending brush and BLEND BLEND BLEND! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Honestly, this (the blending, that is) is THE most important step when it comes to highlighting and contouring. You need to keep blending until you can't see any lines or where one colour starts or the other stops. </p>
<p dir="ltr">And watch those sculpted cheekbones emerge. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Look at you ... you're a Brazilian goddess! </p>
<p dir="ltr">So....what do you think? Think you can do it? You KNOW you can! Go on, get sculpting and have fun with it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Until next time, Love ya lovelies!</p>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I become crazily excited getting Harris' gifts that I almost pass out with pleasure. Just as good is squirreling them away in the dark recesses of my cupboards, then snatching stealthy hours to wrap and set them out for when he wakes on on Christmas morning... it's the best BEST thing ever! </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">5 months
since my divorce … and I’m still wearing my engagement ring. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The wedding band’s
long ago been chucked to some long forgotten drawer. That happened almost two
years back when we first separated and honestly I don’t know where it is. About
the same time, I moved my engagement ring to my right hand and it’s stayed
there. All well and good … </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">BUT … we’ve
been divorced for 5 months and … It’s. Still. There. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">And lately
I’ve been wondering about that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Here’s what
started all the wondering. A couple of weeks back I got sucked into having a
smokey eye done at one of those pop-up makeup kiosks in Cavendish Square. My
cheeky makeup artist when surveying her handiwork at the end of my makeover
said, ‘baby, hubby gonna luuuurve you tonight!’. Straightaway I said ‘I’m not
married, I’m divorced’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">To which my
paragon of wisdom, planting her talons on her skinny-ass hips says, “why you
still wearing his ring hmm?!” and I sputtered out something along the lines of
‘cos I can, it’s mine and I still think its really pretty.’ Well she fixed me
with an eye something awful and pursing her nude glossed lips said “long’s you
wearing dat ring baby, you pushin all dem good men away.” And … well … I couldn’t
think of a single comeback, so I just laughed it off and quickly got us onto a
safer topic.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">But see I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">am</i> still wearing the ring. And for the
life of me… I don’t really know why. Do I want him back? No. Do I still love
him? No. If there was a chance in hell at a reunion, would I still want to be
married to him? Heck no.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">… so what’s
the holdup?</span></div>
