LUXURY LOVE

Dette armbåndet fra Lindex Affordable Luxury-kolleksjon er på ønskelisten. Vi fikk en sniktitt på kolleksjonen igår, og jeg gleder meg til kolleksjonen kommer i salg 27.april.

Biking season has returned! Sort of :)

Hubs and I have been bundling up and biking our way to work the last few days and it feels so  good. It's amazing how great fresh air can be after months of winter weather and having to drive. Even if that air is freezing, it's refreshing to be outside again.

Being on the silver steed makes me think of summertime, spring colors, wearing sandals and shorts, and going for long rides by the lake. I can't wait for those warmer days! Right now it's still pretty chilly and we have to wear earmuffs and gloves, but it's worth it.

Once the seasons change, I definitely want to bike the lakeside pathway down to the city, as well as up to the Chicago Botanic Gardens.

Do you bike for fun or to work? Are you enjoying springtime outdoor activities yet? 

Learn to Listen and Improve Your Relationship!

Learn to Listen and Improve Your Relationship!

By Marisa Marquez

It is important to remember to listen when you are communicating with your significant other. You care deeply for your wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend and they deserve your undivided attention. Take the time to do nothing but listen to what your loved one is saying. Even if you do not like what they are saying do not tune them out. Your partner knows when you are tuning them out!

If you are speaking on the phone with your loved one do not do other activities at the same time. Discontinue whatever you are doing such as surfing the internet, reading, doing laundry or watching TV. Give them your full attention. They can tell when you are distracted. The smallest distraction may cause you to miss important information. Focus 100% on your partner when they are speaking to you. Take their words at value and do not misinterpret them. If you twist what they are saying they will talk to you future. Ask as many questions as you went once they are finished speaking.

Do not allow yourself to focus on a phrase they said just because it displeased you. Humans are visual creatures so make sure to watch your body language. Do not cross your arms, avoid eye contact, or wince when they is speaking. The conversation may end abruptly if your body language is conveying that you're not interested. You can use these listening techniques to improve how you communicate with everyone in your life. Listening takes practice so don't worry if you don't get it right the first time.
