Raising a helplessly weak generation

Published by

When I say weak, I’m not talking about physically weak but weak in character. I was sitting at a lunch, joking around with my friend’s 9-year-old daughter who had a wiggly tooth. I stated that I could get her more money quickly if she really wanted to add to her candy drawer. With excitement she asked me how. I told her I’d tie her tooth to a door or a car and quickly pop it out. I assured her she wouldn’t feel a thing and that I did that once as a kid. She cried, I got in trouble for the conversation. This isn’t the first time I’ve said that to a kid with them almost in tears or actually in tears. There have been other children, younger actually who thought that concept is great because for a second of inconvenience they saw that the return was worth it. Anyways, my first point Why are we creating a world that is terrifying to children. We’ve created a world where children are afraid of everything. No …

Our wedding story

Published by

Our wedding story Mike and I had only been engaged 4 months previous to us running off to elope. We knew what we wanted and we wanted it as soon as possible. My parents always joke that we eloped with “the courtesy of letting everyone know the ceremony date”… I just always say, “ when you know, you know, and we knew” WHERE/LOCATION: Pt Dume Beach, Malibu California WHEN: June 8th 2015, 5 pm WHY: We knew we wanted to run away somewhere together and Vegas was a contender as the wedding planners in Hawaii were very expensive. We ended up deciding that we wanted to treat ourselves to a relaxing, indulging wedding trip rather than a “ party trip “. Getting married in the state of California was very important to me and I’m glad we ended up choosing my home state to intertwine the rest of our lives together. So we decided on Los Angeles (my dream forever home city) rather than San Francisco (where I was born) to lay down new roots. HOW: …

6 Guys who end up being a future waste of time

Published by

Many of my girlfriends, myself included have dated some weirdos in the past, weirdos that after we finally managed to end these sort yet wasteful periods, we wished they just wouldn’t have happened in the first place. I’ve put together a short list of some of the horror story guys. What traits to watch for before you have dug yourself too deep. I feel like within the first month of regularly dating someone new, you know if they are exclusive relationship status worthy. What many women are willing to do too often is settle. Loneliness and low self worth play a huge factor for why we settle. We were all warned by specific actions that we all just chose to ignore. Don’t ignore the red flags, always go with your gut instinct. The self-adsorbed/delusional guy The guy who will only stare at himself in the closet mirrors while doing you from behind. We are all about self love but if it comes to a point that you’d rather stare at yourself in the mirror to …
