Ladies..finding “Mr. Right” can sometimes feel like finding a needle in hay stack. It can just be downright nerve wrecking! Ugh! What is a girl to do?…
In Lori Gottlieb’s new book, “Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough”, Lori identifies the 7 Mistakes Single Women Make. Hmm…if you often find yourself dry like the Sahara Desert, it is finally time to find out WHY?!
Wait…she is not saying anything is wrong with you, so before you start rolling your eyes and snapping your neck, hear Lori out:
There’s a big difference between compromising and settling. I don’t want the takeaway to be, pick the next guy off of Match.com and marry him. I’m saying, you don’t have to do anything differently if you don’t want. But if you feel like it hasn’t been working and you’re wondering why you haven’t met Mr. Right yet, think about looking for the qualities that are important. You can find someone you’ll be really happy with and fall totally in love with. These guys are all around you but you’re not giving them a chance. You could be passing up tons of Mr. Rights. And you’re going out with all the Mr. Wrongs. It’s less about what you wear or do on a date than it is about having healthier standards. You can still have the fairy tale, but it will look different from what the media portrays as the fairy tale.…The same unrealistic expectations we have about dating, we have about marriage, too. Married people have said that this book makes them appreciate their husbands more.
Grab a pen and paper…here goes:
1. We feel entitled.
Gottlieb: “Women try to be good friends to each other. We say, ‘You deserve this, you’re so great! You’re such a good catch! Any man would be lucky!’ [Men don’t say that to each other.] We are good catches, but we also are human and we’re not perfect and somebody’s going to have to put up with us for the rest of his life. And we forget. My dating coach said, write down all the reasons a guy would not want to date you. At first I didn’t think I had that many things, because you think you’re a pretty good catch. He said, what you think of as quirky, endearing, and cute, is really annoying to someone else. But he would love you so much that he would overlook that. And you need to overlook things in him. Everybody has to compromise.”
2. We think we have unlimited options.
Gottlieb: “You walk into a store and you know you want a sweater and it has to go with this outfit and it has to be this color, and you’d like to be on sale. You find something great, but you wonder if there’s something better out there, so you keep searching. In the end, after three more weeks of searching for the perfect sweater—was it so much better than the one you could have bought originally? Whether it’s with men or sweaters…if you just think you have unlimited options for the rest of your life, of course you’ll keep looking, who wouldn’t?”

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ON THEIR SUPERBOWL 2010 WIN!!!!
Sources at the Superbowl are buzzing that Reggie Bush lived up to his deal and popped the question to Kim Kardashian while at dinner with her family on Friday night. The proposal is being kept top secret until after Superbowl festivities and then the couple plan to go public with an announcement. Congrats to the Karbushians!!
Meanwhile, a woman named Carmen Ortega claims to be Reggie’s side chick and has released this tape of her in his Beverly Hills pad…….
The proof is in the pudding. Only Kim knows for sure if this is Reggie’s place. If so, I’m sure she’s steaming mad right about now. The photos, the trophies…….look’s legit to me.

“Chicken, get yo’ chicky hereeee!”….
The Roots drummer and current member of Jimmy Fallon’s house band, Questlove, snapped a picture of NBC’s Black History Month’s Menu in the cafeteria…
NBC is catching alot of heat for serving Fried Chicken, Collard Greens and Cornbread in honor of Black History Month. Once Questlove posted the menu on his Twitter page…the drama began!!!
NBC’s VP of Communications, Kevin Goldman, made a public apology via Twitter:
The sign in the NBCU cafeteria has been removed. We apologize for anyone who was offended by it.
Chef Leslie, who is black may I add, has been trying to implement a Black HIstory Month menu for years and after finally being granted permission, she doesn’t understand the controversy. Did you really find it offensive??? That was probably the best dang lunch the staff had all year.
Nahhh, not yet…but after all the Twitter buzz last night you would have thought she had delivered twins. After Cleveland guard Daniel Gibson missed the first quarter of his game against The Miami Heat, word spread like wildfire that his fiancee, Keyshia Cole, was in labor.
As you can bet, “Boobie’s” head was spinning in circles. Luckily it was just a false alarm….

Author Steven James Dixon, “claims” he knows the 10 ways to go from being just the “girlfriend” to the “WIFE.” Here are his tips:
Be a Woman All Day, Everywhere
Have respect, pride and dignity for yourself. If you let your friends take advantage of you, so will your man. If you come home crying about your job every day without being proactive about getting a new one, your man is not going to find that attractive. Be sexy, sweet, sassy, feminine and most of all, be womanly.
Be Independent
Not just financially, but be an independent thinker overall. Take the time to learn you and what works best for you instead of taking someone else’s advice and forcing yourself into a box. Your core person should not change simply because you are in a relationship. Be independent of your man and have your own life.
It was only a matter of time! There are new iPhone apps that you let you test-drive different types of plastic surgery, just by uploading a photo of yourself! WOW! The applications are called: “NewBeauty” and “iSurgeon.”
So if you’re getting plastic surgery, you can experiment with different noses, lips, eyebrows, breasts…ANYTHING YOU WANT! And the best part of the ordeal is that you will be saving thousands of dollars. Let’s just hope the doctor can duplicate it!! lolol.
The “New Beauty” tool will run you about $4.99, and will allow you to see yourself with potential lip augmentations, injections for forehead wrinkles, eyebrow lifts and even nose jobs.
Meanwhile, iSurgeon goes for $2.99 and was developed by a Miami-based plastic surgeon. It gives you a clear visual of what you’d look like after surgery like breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction or a face lift.
