This week Christopher, the PattiKnows astrologist, and I are blogging on People.com about how the stars and planets lined up for a match made in heaven -- Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Here are a few more reasons why I think they rock.
No flash & crash
Most celebrity couples are so much flash, it’s no surprise to me when their relationships crash and burn. How can you expect a relationship to last when you’re basically in a chronic menage a trois with the media? Blake and Ryan are exactly the opposite of the typical flash and crash Hollywood couple. These two lovebirds didn’t sing a peep about their relationship. In fact, they had never even confirmed their relationship to the press.

Tech boys. They’re creative, smart, driven and, yeah, tend to have money. Not a bad combination, huh? Tech fellas used to be only in Silicon Valley, which is quite the commute for most of America.

It’s official. We have moved from the ancient age of meeting people at a bar, club, place of worship, through friends, etc. to the new age of finding love online -- both on dating websites and on social networks. We are a perfect example of the social network part of this trend -- we met on the social network that started it all: Myspace.
Now there are about a zillion other social network platforms out there, like Facebook and Twitter, where not only can you let all your friends and family know when you are going to the bathroom, but you can actually meet your soon-to-be wife or husband too! It has never been an easier world to find your mate than the one we live in now.

Thanks to Sensa and my boyfriend David getting me back into shape, I have a brand new body. I’m super proud of it, and I'm going to continue toning up. I mean, in my fifties and in the best shape of my life? Who wouldn’t tweet that from the rooftops? I’m so grateful for my new shape. While I was shedding the pounds with Sensa, I also got really into exercise for a one-two punch to that icky cellulite. I couldn’t be happier I did. I’m proof that exercise can change your life in the best ways. Plus, your love life will love you for it. Here's why.

Time for some myth busting on PattiKnows. You know the expression, “opposites attract”? Well, it’s not always true -- at least when it comes to love. In romance it’s your commonalities that make you compatible for the long haul. Of course, there will be some differences between you and your boo, even if he’s your perfect match. That’s what keeps things spicy and interesting! But there are five important factors you need to have in common for your relationship to last. I call them The Five Senses.
