While bangs seem to fade in and out of style, the truth is, they are forever present in the world of hair. What changes, is their length, density and shape. The “fringe” (as the Brits say) can make a bold statement, or help to conceal a myriad of imperfections. Bangs are also an easy way to freshen up your look, without the commitment of a full haircut. Here are some of my favorite looks (and a few pointers to know if they are right for you!) Read more

The first time my current boyfriend tried to take out my garbage, I stopped him. A few days later when he offered to do my dishes after I cooked him a meal, I refused.

It’s a situation most women have nightmares about!
One night you’re feeling a little tired so you go up to bed before your man. He has some “work” to finish off, so you go upstairs and let him get on with it.

It’s when you’re about half way down your stairs that you see it…
The man you love is sitting in front of the computer, his headset on, penis in hand, and a naked woman gyrating on the monitor with a man between her legs. There’s no mistaking it. You stand for a couple of minutes just to prove you’re not seeing things. But no, your man is definitely pleasuring himself watching porn. Read more

I'm here to tell you with confidence that no, all the good ones are not taken! There are plenty of eligible, good looking, and actually intelligent people out there, no matter what your age - and there are lots of ways to find them.
Here are some common areas that my clients make mistakes while looking for love and how to fix them: Read more
