First things first...

Hello world, it's Dina here! First things first, this project I will be starting has been at the back of my mind for years now. It's been that annoying voice telling you to stop being a whimsy kid and start rolling the ball on what you really want to do a.k.a. Your life calling. These days, technology makes it easy to share whatever passions you may have: be it painting, blogging, singing or dancing, cooking or simply sharing your opinion on recent events- like Miley Cyrus's hammer licking video ( props Miley, atta girl! Your immune system is now stronger). So I've decided to use it and abuse it, just like the rest of us! I used to be anti-Facebook and other social channels because I thought it is a waste of time. My current answer is... It's super healthy in small dosages! Anyways, point is, the only thing that held me back, and I suppose many other people around the world, was fear.

And a plethora of studies are now looking into the law of attraction and visualization.  Pham and Taylor (1999) have been studying this phenomenon for almost a decade, and have found, study after study, that the conversion of the vision board to reality is only made possible when visualizing the process and steps to be ta...

"Oh my God, Becky! Look at her butt" - The perks and wins of a woman complimenting another woman

Image
Happy T hursday World! Complimenting is an art! Compliments are important because they are a way of expressing your opinion without making it all about you; at least it shouldn't be all about you and how YOU  like his hairstyle, and how YOU like her smile and how YOU , YOU , YOU , YOU ... Point made! It is YOU indeed who compliments, yet the content has to be about HER. Sometimes, expressing ones admiration towards another can become frustrating and we end up not saying anything, but... One particular soft spot I have been noticing after interacting with thousands of people in my amazingly awesome career and superbly colorful social life ( so modest this one! ) is how a woman pays a compliment to another woman. Or, better said finding the art of paying SENSE-a-tional compliments without questioning whether you did a good job or the other person thought your admiration was, simply put, fake! Complimenting someone is an art , and, like most other things in life, ...
