How to Love Life and Look Good Through the Holidays!

If you give equally, you risk neutralizing the relationship. If you give more, he’s indebted to you and that’s not a price tag he’s gonna wanna pay … Nor YOU! You risk becoming “big mama” and he will NEVER live up to your expectations! Ever!

NEWS FLASH: Men typically don’t have the “heart warming fuzzies” women feel around the holidays. You may think it’s important you get him that nice gift or send him a card, but unless he gives first, I don’t advise it.

(ONE Exception: If you want to take a risk on “jump starting” a new relationship with a man you haven’t heard from in the past two months, send him a card and see if you hear from him. If you don’t, move on. He’s gone.)

Giving back a little less may make you feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. Believe me … a masculine man will always feel better about giving more to his feminine woman.*

*Ladies, if you want to be the more generous giver, then by all means, give more. It’s your choice. Just be conscious of your “role.” Masculine “givers” are usually with feminine “receivers” in EVERY romantic relationship … regardless of gender.

3.  Give a Smile

Smiles are easy and cheap. And smiles make you look good. Like the song says, “You’re never fully dressed without a smile.” So don’t leave home without one!

The funny thing about a smile is, even when you don’t feel like smiling, when you do it, it makes you feel better. Try it. Push up the corners of your mouth (use your fingers if necessary) and see what happens.

Nothing? Do it again.

And again.

Once more …

Starting to feel it? Good. Keep it on! :)

4. Give a Compliment

My father used to say, “Give three sincere compliments a day and people will like you and remember you.”

My husband tells me daily how beautiful I look … even without my make-up. (Gasp!)

Lorenzo also tells the women he works with, “Que bella … how beautiful you are.” (Yes, yes, he’s a charmer.) More than that, Lorenzo knows that compliments make the women feel better and in return they like and respect him. And that makes him look good and feel good!
