3 Day Workout
By Serena Daniels
But most of us tend to have desk jobs and aren’t running after kids all day, let alone living on salad and soy. And although going to the gym should be as important as brushing your teeth, we tend to put it on hold if there is anything remotely more interesting to do in its place.
A 3 day workout, however, is manageable for most women, so there’s no excuse why you shouldn’t be able to complete this 3 day workout each and every week.
Avoid consecutive workouts
If possible, separate your 3 day workout with at least one rest day in between, so that your workout looks something like this:
Day 1: Workout
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: Workout
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Workout
Day 7: Rest
Keep in mind that when 1 hour per day for 3 days is all you have to devote to keeping fit, you cannot afford to turn your gym visits into social affairs. You need to get in, get your sweat on, and get out. It’s not going to be that simple at first, but once you get into your routine, it’ll become habitual.
The suggested workout routine listed below is just that, a suggestion. If there is a body part you feel needs to be better developed or you have problems of some sort with certain areas, then hire a personal trainer to help you develop a routine that’s more suitable.
Personally, when I have a week when I can’t get to the gym that often, I tend to superset my exercises, meaning that I go immediately from one exercise to the next without rest. Then I perform a hardcore cardio workoutsuch as running, high intensity elliptical training or jumping rope to close off my workout.
Also, keep in mind that the amount of weight you need to use should be heavy enough that you’re muscles are fatigued by the last repetition.
Day 1
Areas of Concentration: Legs, Glutes, Abs

Pull your shoulders back and squeeze your gluteswhen you reach the top.

3 day workout plan
If the above 3 day workout is combined with a clean diet and regular movement throughout your day, you will definitely see results.
Feed your body and give it some exercise, and it will work like a well-oiled machine.
Work it out.
When it comes to working out, 3 workouts a week is the absolute minimum you should be doing. Of course, if you have an incredibly active lifestyle, then a 3 day workout at the gym is not so bad.
But most of us tend to have desk jobs and aren’t running after kids all day, let alone living on salad and soy. And although going to the gym should be as important as brushing your teeth, we tend to put it on hold if there is anything remotely more interesting to do in its place.

3 day workout plan
If the above 3 day workout is combined with a clean diet and regular movement throughout your day, you will definitely see results.
Feed your body and give it some exercise, and it will work like a well-oiled machine.
Work it out.
When it comes to working out, 3 workouts a week is the absolute minimum you should be doing. Of course, if you have an incredibly active lifestyle, then a 3 day workout at the gym is not so bad.
But most of us tend to have desk jobs and aren’t running after kids all day, let alone living on salad and soy. And although going to the gym should be as important as brushing your teeth, we tend to put it on hold if there is anything remotely more interesting to do in its place.
A 3 day workout, however, is manageable for most women, so there’s no excuse why you shouldn’t be able to complete this 3 day workout each and every week.
Avoid consecutive workouts
If possible, separate your 3 day workout with at least one rest day in between, so that your workout looks something like this:
Day 1: Workout
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: Workout
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Workout
Day 7: Rest
Keep in mind that when 1 hour per day for 3 days is all you have to devote to keeping fit, you cannot afford to turn your gym visits into social affairs. You need to get in, get your sweat on, and get out. It’s not going to be that simple at first, but once you get into your routine, it’ll become habitual.
The suggested workout routine listed below is just that, a suggestion. If there is a body part you feel needs to be better developed or you have problems of some sort with certain areas, then hire a personal trainer to help you develop a routine that’s more suitable.
Personally, when I have a week when I can’t get to the gym that often, I tend to superset my exercises, meaning that I go immediately from one exercise to the next without rest. Then I perform a hardcore cardio workout
Also, keep in mind that the amount of weight you need to use should be heavy enough that you’re muscles are fatigued by the last repetition.
Day 1
Areas of Concentration: Legs, Glutes, Abs
3 day workout exercise #1
Barbell Squats
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
With a barbell placed atop your trapezoids, your feet slightly more than shoulder apart, stick your butt out, and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Make sure to keep your abdominal muscles
Return to the starting position and repeat.
3 day workout exercise #2
Walking Lunges
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
Hold a dumbbell in each hand, and keep your back straight, step forward with your right leg and bend your knee so that your thigh is parallel to the ground.

Barbell Deadlifts
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10, 10, 10
Hold a barbell with your hands more than shoulder width apart with one arm prone (palm facing you) and the other supine (palm facing outward). Keeping the barbell close to your legs, slowly lower it down toward your shins, stop mid-way and then raise it back to the starting position. Pull your shoulders back and squeeze your glutes
This is an advanced exercise and requires a lot of coordination, so make sure to look in a mirror (stand parallel to it) so that you can be certain your back is straight and your abs tight throughout the exercise.
3 day workout exercise #4
Lying leg lifts
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 20, 20, 20
Lie flat on your back with your legs closed. Lift your legs about six to 12 inches off the ground, hold for two seconds and return to starting position. Perform each repetition slowly and in a controlled manner.
3 day workout exercise #5

Repetitions: 20, 20, 20
Lie flat on your back with your hands across your chest or behind your head and your elbows pointing outward on either side. Contract your abs and lift your shoulders and upper back off the ground, hold for two seconds, then return to starting position. Make sure to keep your abs contracted throughout the exercise.
Cardio
Time: 30 minutes
Type: Interval
No matter what cardio exercise you choose to do, spend two minutes moving at a comfortable pace and one minute moving as fast as you can without passing out.
Day 2
Areas of Concentration: Arms, Abs
3 day workout exercise #1
Lateral/Front Dumbbell Raises
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10, 10, 10
Hold a dumbbell in each hand, and stand with feet a little more than shoulder width apart, knees bent slightly. With palms facing down, keep your arms straight (but don’t lock your elbows) and lift your arms up in front of you, then out to the sides and back down. That counts as one repetition.
3 day workout exercise #2
Standing Barbell Curls
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
With a barbell in hand, palms facing out, stand with your legs slightly more than shoulder-width apart, and raise the barbell toward your shoulders, making sure not to let your elbows move away from your sides. Return to the starting position.

Dumbbell Kickbacks
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10, 10, 10
Place one hand on your knee, bend your knees slightly and bend at the hip until your back is parallel to the floor (make sure, however, to keep your back straight). With the other hand, hold a dumbbell and, keeping your elbow close to your side, “kick” your forearm back toward the ceiling until it’s parallel to the floor. Return to the starting position slowly and repeat.
3 day workout exercise #4
Triceps Pressdowns
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
Attach a revolving straight bar to the cable machine and grip it so that your palms are facing down and your thumbs are about five inches apart. Lock your elbows against your sides at a 90-degree angle. Push the bar down toward your legs and squeeze your triceps as you straighten your arms.

Repetitions: 20, 20, 20
Hang from a lat pull-up bar with a shoulder-wide grip, arms fully extended. Raise your legs until they’re parallel to the floor, hold for a second, and lower them slowly, making sure not to swing your legs. Start off with six repetitions and work your way up to 20.
3 day workout exercise #6
Knee-Ups
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 20, 20, 20
Sit on the edge of a bench and hold the side to maintain your balance. Extend your legs straight out, then bend your knees and bring them in toward your chest. Hold this position for a second, then return to the starting position.
Cardio
Time: 30 minutes
Type: Light jogging
If you have problems with your knees, then instead of jogging, opt for a machine that has no impact like a bicycle or elliptical machine, but remain at a pace that will put you in the fat-burning zone.
Day 3
Areas of Concentration: Back, Chest, Abs
3 day workout exercise #1
Dumbbell Rows
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
With your feet shoulder-width apart and your body bent at the hips, keep your back straight (parallel to the ground) and hold the dumbbells directly in front of you, palms facing your legs.

3 day workout exercise #2
Bench Press
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10, 10, 10
Lie on the bench, making sure that your eyes are directly underneath the bar. Place your arms about a foot more than shoulder width apart on either side and lower the barbell to the middle of your chest without letting the bar actually touch your chest. Your lower back should be in contact with the bench at all times.
You may need a spot for this exercise and if you don’t have one (or refuse to ask the hot guy to help you), then do this same exercise with dumbbells.
3 day workout exercise #3
Good Mornings
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 12, 12, 12
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a barbell over your shoulders.

Make sure you keep your core tight throughout this exercise.
3 day workout exercise #4
Decline Dumbbell Flyes
Sets: 3

7 Ways To Cut Cell Phone Costs
By Vanessa Cohen
But there is a negative side to cell phones: the billing. It seems that most of us are being milked out of every penny via our cell phones and it’s time you started learning how to cut cell phone costs so you can save a couple of bucks. You need to start paying attention to what you’re being charged.
With a little effort, you can save upwards of $300 a year just by learning how you can cut cell phone costs and making some simple changes to your cell phone’s options, your phone habits and your service provider.
Here, now, are some ways to cut cell phone costs every time you dial.
Cut cell phone costs tip #1
Get a deal on what you use most often
Do you text message all day long? Do you spend most of your time on the phone during the day? If so, there are plans available to suit your particular needs.
Figure out what you want out of your plan via your cell phone habits, and call up your company and make the changes ASAP.
Cut cell phone costs tip #2
Use the same carrier as buddies
If you have a select few with whom you speak on a regular basis (your best girl friend, your boyfriend, your parents), then why not switch to the same company? Most companies offer deals on in-network calls.
The deal? Free calls within your network. That way, when you call up the people you speak with the most, you won’t be charged anything.
Cut cell phone costs tip #3
Forward your calls
If you work at home or have a lax work environment, forward your calls to your home or office, that way, your phone won’t be charged for the calls and you won’t be wasting precious minutes.
Of course, if your phone rings all day long, forwarding calls to your workplace probably isn’t the smartest idea. What you can then do is forward your calls to your answering machine on your cell or at home.
Cut cell phone costs tip #4
Get free evening & weekends
Considering most women work all day long, the need to make phone calls from your cell phone isn’t that high. But getting free evening and weekend calls is a tricky deal.
For some companies, the evening begins at 8 and sometimes 9 p.m., but there are a select few that offer up evenings starting from 7 p.m. Do your research and make sure that you’re well aware of what time your evenings start if you do opt for this option.
Cut cell phone costs tip #5
Get rollover minutes
Referred to as rollover, this option allows you to add whatever minutes you didn’t use in the month before to the current month, increasing your minutes and giving you the freedom to talk to all your friends without extra cost worries.
Some months may be slow and others may have your cell phone ringing off the hook, so make sure you look over your bill to figure how many minutes you’re not using each month (if any at all) and decide if this is the best option for you.
Cut cell phone costs tip #6
Shut it off or lock it
If you don’t lock your phone’s keypad and leave it in your purse, your phone could inadvertently end up calling people and draining your minutes.
And it gets worse; if you’re traveling (or even where you live), your phone may begin to roam (you’ll know it because it’ll say “roaming” or the like on your phone) and you will be charged for it on a per-minute basis.
A few carrier companies have eliminated this practice and I strongly recommend that you find out about your current company’s practices and their roaming options.
Cut cell phone costs tip #7
Text on the Internet
With most companies, it costs about 10¢ to send a text message and 2¢ to receive one. So if you could send your texts via another method, it would likely save you a sweet amount of cash.
Most companies allow you to send a text via their website. So the next time George sends you a text about how hot he thinks you are, you can text him back without incurring a cost if you’re already in front of a computer.
Cut cell phone costs today
There’s no doubt that cell phones have become an integral part of our lives, but with a little research and time, you can make sure your phone doesn’t cost you a limb or two.
Cellular phones are a spectacular invention. They offer women an extra sense of safety, as well as the knowledge that they can call up their buddies to talk about having dumped their boyfriend no more than 30 seconds ago.
But there is a negative side to cell phones: the billing.

Top 10 Biceps Exercises
By Dana Laurier
In order to see definition in your biceps, as with any other body part, you need to work it out at least once a week and perform each set to failure without using momentum.
Keep in mind that the biceps brachii (proper name for the muscle) are a small muscle group and if you overtrain them, your arms will feel shot and performing everyday tasks may become more difficult.
So while this is a top 10 list, you need not perform all 10 exercises in one workout. But because your muscles adapt to an exercise quickly, you may want to try some different biceps exercises every 6 weeks in order to keep making gains.
Here, now, are the top 10 biceps exercises.
Biceps exercises #10
EZ bar curls
An EZ Curl bar looks like a barbell but is designed with curvature at the hand grips to provide for different wrist positioning.
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent. Place your hands on the innermost part of the curve and lift the bar toward your chest, keeping your elbows at your sides and your wrists locked throughout the rep.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 8 to 12
Biceps exercises #9
Concentration dumbbell curls
Sit on the edge of a flat bench with your legs more than shoulder width apart. Grab a dumbbell with your right arm and place your elbow on the inside of your right knee, and keep your abs tight.
Start with your arm straight down, palm facing out. Lift the weight toward your shoulder slowly, hold for a second when you get to the top, squeeze your biceps and lower the weight back to the starting position.
Sets: 3 (Completing both arms counts as one)
Repetitions: 8 to 12
Biceps exercises #8
Lying cable curls
Place a straight bar on the bottom cable of the cable machine. Facing the cable machine, lie down flat and place your feet against the outer steel edges of the cable machine. With your palms facing up, curl the bar towards your chest.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10 to 12
Biceps exercises #7
Preacher curls
Sit on a preacher bench and place your arms shoulder width apart, ensuring that your arms are firmly pressed against the pad to your elbows. Your shoulders should be in a neutral position and not elevated. If they are, you need to adjust the height of the seat or the pad.
With palms facing up, grab the barbell and slowly lift it toward your shoulders, keeping your upper arm against the bench throughout the entire repetition.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10
Biceps exercises #6
Cable hammer curls
Place a rope on the lower part of the cable machine. With palms facing each other, grab the rope and pull the rope up toward your chest, ensuring that your elbows stay at your side throughout the repetition.
Try to keep your grip high up on the rope and your palms facing each other throughout the motion.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 8 to 12
Biceps exercises #5
21s
Place your legs shoulder-width apart, keeping your knees soft. Keep your elbows firmly by your sides and with, palms facing up, pick up a barbell and lift it only until your arm is at a 90º angle. Lower it to the starting position and complete seven reps.
Immediately after you’ve done the first seven reps, your starting position will become the 90º angle and you will lift the barbell up to your chest. Repeat seven times.
Finally, your last seven repetitions will be the full range of motion, that is, you begin by holding the barbell at your thighs and lift it up toward your chest. Repeat seven times.
You’ve just completed 21 repetitions.
Sets: 2
Repetitions: 21
Biceps exercises #4
Angled dumbbell curls
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft, and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Lift one dumbbell up at a time and when you do, keep the palm of your hand as far away from your shoulder as you can as you lift, ensuring that your elbow remains at your side. Alternate arms with each rep.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10 (For each arm)
Biceps exercises #3
Reverse grips plate curls
Holding a plate with the tips of your fingers, both palms facing down, keep your elbows by your side and lift the plate toward your chest.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 10 to 12
Biceps exercises #2
Cross body hammer curls
Holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other, lift one dumbbell at a time keeping your palm facing inward and lift toward your opposite shoulder doing your best to keep your elbows by your sides (if it’s impossible, use a lighter weight).
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 8 to 10
Biceps exercises #1
Chin ups
One of the most difficult exercises to do, lifting your own body weight is a goal you want to achieve. Not only is it important to be able to lift your own body weight, but it’s incredibly sexy when a girl can!
Grab the chin up (you may have to jump to reach it) with palms shoulder-width apart and facing you. Keeping your body as straight as you can, lift yourself up, bending your elbows until your head or chest touches the bar. Lower yourself slowly to the starting position and repeat.
If you’re unable to lift yourself at all, begin by placing a box under you so that you can jump up and start at the top (with your chest at the bar), and lower yourself down. When that becomes easy, try to do one rep, then two, and so on until you can complete an entire set.
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 8
Awesome biceps exercises
Remember that if an exercise is way too easy, you’re either using too light a weight or using momentum to complete the repetitions.
Keep blasting those biceps.
After their butts and their legs, most women want to have a pair of tight, firm arms. Building and shaping your biceps with the right biceps exercises is one of the many ways you can transform your arms and create a nice overall silhouette.

Why Men Love Breasts
By Brandon Evans
It’s true, breasts can make a man lose his train of thought in an instant, but it’s through no fault of his own.
We’re visual creatures who enjoy things of beauty. That’s not to imply that women are things, but rather that anything that is attractive will capture a man’s attention. For some guys, it’s sexy cars, for others it’s sexy women.
In the U.S., most men are breast men and the reason for that probably has a lot to do with the media. Beer commercials use breasts to sell their products, the Girls Gone Wild videos are all about flashing breasts, and implants are very, very popular around these parts.
But why? Why do men love breasts?
Some experts might gather that it has to do with being breastfed, but if that were the case then just as many women would be obsessed with breasts as well. No, I think the reason is a little simpler than that.
Men love breasts because we don’t have any. They’re soft, supple and feminine, and the idea of cupping them with our hands, sucking on the nipple or rubbing the area in between drives home the wild fantasies we have about them.
Add to that the fact that they are easily spotted and that many women use them as a tool to enhance their outfits, and you have yourself the most valid reasoning on earth.
Breasts are up in our faces at every turn, how can we not become mildly obsessed with them? And it’s not as though women help; so many of them tend to flaunt them, wearing bras that give just enough support but not so much that they lose their jiggle. So it’s sort of your fault that men love breasts as much as they do.
Do men love all breasts?
But don’t get me wrong; men don’t love all breasts. And contrary to popular opinion, bigger is not always better. Just as women have standards when it comes to penises, we also have standards, you know.
Saggy breasts
How many times have I taken a woman home only to discover that her perfect and beautiful breasts were nothing more than an illusion? I’ve seen those million-dollar bras come off and the breasts hit the ground. It’s very alarming.
Is it really fair? I mean, isn’t that false advertising? At least when it comes to penises, you have no clue what you’re about to get. But women… women mislead us into believing that their breasts are the most perfect pair on earth only to reveal that it was all smoke and mirrors.
Of course, I can empathize with the fact that the breasts you have are the breasts you’re dealt, but you can’t fault me for being disappointed when you remove your bra and they hit your navel.
Huge breasts
While most women think that men salivate over huge breasts, that’s usually not the case. To start, huge breasts are usually accompanied by huge everything else. Second, the bigger they are, the more they usually sag (see above).
Don’t get me wrong, a big pair of breasts is nice and all, but when they’re so big that they overtake a woman’s upper body, most of us draw the line there.
Veiny breasts
I’ve been with enough women to know that women judge not only the size of our penises, but even the way it looks esthetically. Most women don’t appreciate a veiny or two-toned penis. Well, we don’t appreciate veiny breasts.
Breasts are meant to look like smooth, soft, rounded, heavenly masses of perfect skin and small, erect nipples. To show us anything different turns our worlds upside down. Of course, I wouldn’t kick veiny breasts out of bed, but I probably wouldn’t tell her that her breasts were beautiful, either.
Salami breasts
Ugh! I can deal with all the aforementioned breast issues – except maybe the saggy breast one. But one thing’s for sure: I cannot deal with breasts that are overtaken by areolas, otherwise known as salami breasts.
I don’t why it is, but whenever I see a breast that’s covered by the areola, I feel like the rest of the woman must smell like cured meat. The worst of it is that by the time I see the horror, it’s too late and I can’t get away from the situation. Okay, I can, but I’m already hot and bothered by then so I just keep my eyes focused on something else.
But men love breasts
Don’t worry, ladies. Most often, when men fall in love with you, they can let certain things slide, just as I’m sure you do when it comes to them. But since women want a man’s honest opinion about the whole breast issue, I gave it to you straight from the hip.
And you can’t hate me for it; this is my breast opinion.
It happens at least once a day; a girl with big, perky breasts and a plunging neckline walks by me and, for just a moment, all I can see are those two orbs of phenomenal delight and the whole world sighs with pleasure.
It’s true, breasts can make a man lose his train of thought in an instant, but it’s through no fault of his own.
We’re visual creatures who enjoy things of beauty. That’s not to imply that women are things, but rather that anything that is attractive will capture a man’s attention. For some guys, it’s sexy cars, for others it’s sexy women.

I’ve been with enough women to know that women judge not only the size of our penises, but even the way it looks esthetically. Most women don’t appreciate a veiny or two-toned penis. Well, we don’t appreciate veiny breasts.
Breasts are meant to look like smooth, soft, rounded, heavenly masses of perfect skin and small, erect nipples. To show us anything different turns our worlds upside down. Of course, I wouldn’t kick veiny breasts out of bed, but I probably wouldn’t tell her that her breasts were beautiful, either.
Salami breasts
Ugh! I can deal with all the aforementioned breast issues – except maybe the saggy breast one. But one thing’s for sure: I cannot deal with breasts that are overtaken by areolas, otherwise known as salami breasts.
I don’t why it is, but whenever I see a breast that’s covered by the areola, I feel like the rest of the woman must smell like cured meat. The worst of it is that by the time I see the horror, it’s too late and I can’t get away from the situation. Okay, I can, but I’m already hot and bothered by then so I just keep my eyes focused on something else.
But men love breasts
Don’t worry, ladies. Most often, when men fall in love with you, they can let certain things slide, just as I’m sure you do when it comes to them. But since women want a man’s honest opinion about the whole breast issue, I gave it to you straight from the hip.
And you can’t hate me for it; this is my breast opinion.
Why Men Love Breasts
By Brandon Evans
It’s true, breasts can make a man lose his train of thought in an instant, but it’s through no fault of his own.
We’re visual creatures who enjoy things of beauty. That’s not to imply that women are things, but rather that anything that is attractive will capture a man’s attention. For some guys, it’s sexy cars, for others it’s sexy women.
In the U.S., most men are breast men and the reason for that probably has a lot to do with the media. Beer commercials use breasts to sell their products, the Girls Gone Wild videos are all about flashing breasts, and implants are very, very popular around these parts.
But why? Why do men love breasts?
Some experts might gather that it has to do with being breastfed, but if that were the case then just as many women would be obsessed with breasts as well. No, I think the reason is a little simpler than that.
Men love breasts because we don’t have any. They’re soft, supple and feminine, and the idea of cupping them with our hands, sucking on the nipple or rubbing the area in between drives home the wild fantasies we have about them.
Add to that the fact that they are easily spotted and that many women use them as a tool to enhance their outfits, and you have yourself the most valid reasoning on earth.
Breasts are up in our faces at every turn, how can we not become mildly obsessed with them? And it’s not as though women help; so many of them tend to flaunt them, wearing bras that give just enough support but not so much that they lose their jiggle. So it’s sort of your fault that men love breasts as much as they do.
Do men love all breasts?
But don’t get me wrong; men don’t love all breasts. And contrary to popular opinion, bigger is not always better. Just as women have standards when it comes to penises, we also have standards, you know.
Saggy breasts
How many times have I taken a woman home only to discover that her perfect and beautiful breasts were nothing more than an illusion? I’ve seen those million-dollar bras come off and the breasts hit the ground. It’s very alarming.
Is it really fair? I mean, isn’t that false advertising? At least when it comes to penises, you have no clue what you’re about to get. But women… women mislead us into believing that their breasts are the most perfect pair on earth only to reveal that it was all smoke and mirrors.
Of course, I can empathize with the fact that the breasts you have are the breasts you’re dealt, but you can’t fault me for being disappointed when you remove your bra and they hit your navel.
Huge breasts
While most women think that men salivate over huge breasts, that’s usually not the case. To start, huge breasts are usually accompanied by huge everything else. Second, the bigger they are, the more they usually sag (see above).
Don’t get me wrong, a big pair of breasts is nice and all, but when they’re so big that they overtake a woman’s upper body, most of us draw the line there.
Veiny breasts
I’ve been with enough women to know that women judge not only the size of our penises, but even the way it looks esthetically. Most women don’t appreciate a veiny or two-toned penis. Well, we don’t appreciate veiny breasts.

And you can’t hate me for it; this is my breast opinion.
It happens at least once a day; a girl with big, perky breasts and a plunging neckline walks by me and, for just a moment, all I can see are those two orbs of phenomenal delight and the whole world sighs with pleasure.

Cannot lose the baby weight
Dear Emily,
I had my baby about 7 months ago, but have not been able to drop the last 15 pounds from my pregnancy. I have been walking, dieting and doing whatever I can, but cannot seem to drop the weight.
Please help me,
Vanessa
Baby weight can be difficult to lose, but it is not impossible, so long as you commit yourself to it.
First off, if you are breastfeeding, dieting is not the ideal way to go. Your body needs more calories to feed your baby and you. Eating less only sends your body into “starvation” mode, causing it to hang on to every calorie you do give it for fear of not getting more food.
Reducing calories is not the answer; perhaps eating smaller portions and more often will help you. You also need to do more rigorous exercise than just walking because the body adapts to exercise quickly.
Invest in a fitness stroller and go for jogs with your baby. Or sign up to a gym and head out for an hour a day to do some strength training.
Fill your diet with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and good fats, and exercise at least four days a week, and before you know it, the weight will melt off.
Emily
More sex for pregnancy?
Dear Emily,
My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and have been having a lot of fun doing it, but a friend of mine told me that too much sex could hinder our chances of conceiving. Is this true?
Carol
Your friend is wrong. While having frequent sex will lower his sperm count slightly, with every ejaculation, he releases millions of sperm, so there is no fear in having sex every day. After all, all you need is one of those sperm to get pregnant.
Emily
Pregnant with genital herpes
Hi Emily,
I have genital herpes and am pregnant. I haven’t told my OBGYN and was wondering if it can be harmful to my child in any way.
Afraid
Dear Afraid,
Although quite rare, if you gave birth via your birth canal whilst having an outbreak, the outcome may result in neurological damage, mental retardation or, in the worst-case scenario, the death of your baby.
Most women who have herpes can give birth without issue, especially if they’re not having an outbreak at the time of labor, but it is better to err on the side of caution and avoid taking any chances.
I strongly recommend that you tell your OBGYN about this and work together to find the best solution for you and your baby.
Good luck,
Emily
Anorexic teenager
I think my 14-year-old daughter is starving herself. She barely eats and when she does, it’s never more than a couple of carrots or something to that effect. How can I talk to her about it without her freaking out on me? She gets defensive easily.
Joanne
Hi Joanne,
If you suspect that your daughter is not eating, the last thing you want to do is accuse her of it. To start, ask her if she can make some time to talk with you, like an appointment. When you do get to talk, voice your concerns about her recent behavior. If she begins to get defensive, hear her out and don’t interrupt her or make any accusations. As well, do not offer up simple solutions to her problem.
Your best bet would be to set up an appointment with your family doctor and ask for his professional opinion and help in the matter.
Good luck Joanne,
Emily

If that wasn’t fantastic enough, there are even built-in compartments for your mobile phone and sunglasses; God knows how I hate lugging around the massive sunglass case that my shades came with.
And if you’re like me and hate carrying your handbag around your shoulder because it causes pain - everything I own and my grandmother can be found in it - you will appreciate the handles that are comfortable enough to rest on your arm, a la Victoria Beckham et al.
So now you have no excuse; get yourself the handbag that takes you from day to night and thank me later.
Cost: $219.99
Where to get it: AccessoryBug.com
If there’s one thing we quickly learn growing up, it’s that not all handbags are created equal. Well, there's no need to look any further because this is the mother of all handbags.

The Dangers Of Office Gossip
By Jennifer Towers
Not only can office gossip harm a person’s career, it can also create a hostile work environment, and no one enjoys going to work when that’s the order of the day.
Of course, there are times when it’s good to know what’s going on around the office, so long as it has to do with business. Being “out of the loop” can lend itself to hindering your advancement at work.
What you need to learn to do is ignore the “Sally is a slut” talk and pay close attention to the fact that Joanne is resigning next week and her job is up for grabs.
But if you had a choice to know absolutely everything about what’s going on in the office or to know absolutely nothing, it’s probably safer too go with the latter because the minute you overhear someone badmouthing someone else, you will be implicated when the feces hits the fan.
So what can you do to avoid being involved in and contributing to office gossip? Well, here’s some valuable advice to get you started.
Office gossip tip #1
Don’t agree or disagree
Sometimes you will end up overhearing or being involved in a conversation about Sheryl and her torrid affair with the married guy in accounting. These things will occur from time to time, unless, of course, you become completely antisocial at work.
The only thing you can do is say nothing. And, above and beyond all else, do not agree or disagree about whether or not Sheryl is a skank because that will make you a contributor to the gossip, which can spell the end of your climb up the ladder.
Office gossip tip #2
Don’t hang around the office gossip
There might be many secrets being whispered about around your office, but there’s no doubt as to who the 4-1-1 is, and, although it’s in your best interest to be nice to this person, you do not, under any circumstance, want to be associated with them.
You need to be nice to them because they will probably end up circulating stories about you if you’re not, and you don’t want to be too nice because others may begin to avoid you for fear of anyone finding out about their potential skeletons.
And I don’t think I need to tell you, but just in case you have a moment of weakness, don’t tell this person anything about your personal life unless you enjoy being shot with your own gun.
Office gossip tip #3
Remember that everyone’s a rat
Even if their intentions are good, no woman wants to go down as the “rotten bitch who speaks ill of others,” so if they can implicate others in their guilt, you can bet they will.
Whether you’re out for drinks after work or are just talking about Jim and his itchy crotch in passing, there’s a good chance that if the person you’re speaking with speaks with someone else, your name will be mentioned. Keeping your mouth shut and your ears open is always your best bet.
Office gossip tip #4
Don’t badmouth anyone
We all have bad days, no doubt, but even if your boss is the biggest prick this side of porn, you should do your best not to run off at the mouth to the first person you run into.
In anger, we tend to say things we don’t mean, but what we sometimes don’t realize is that, once they’re said, we can’t take them back. And if you must tell someone how angry you are, call your boyfriend or your best friend and do your bitching.
Speaking ill of anyone at work to your colleagues will not help you in any way.
Office gossip tip #5
Don’t chastise gossipers
People who gossip thrive off it and if you even attempt to put a stop to it via a confrontation, chances are that things will not work out in your favor.
Not only will this person begin to badmouth you and perhaps even make things up about you, but there’s a good chance that others will believe them, making you seem like a terrible woman.
Your best bet is to be nice to these kinds of people and steer clear of them as often as you can.
Office gossip tip #6
Deal with rumors about you ASAP
If rumors begin to swirl about your recent need to tell your colleague that your boss is incompetent (or even impotent), it’s up to you to clear your name by confronting the persons involved. If you don’t deal with it, things may get worse.
Without starting an argument, simply tell the parties that matter that the rumors are false and you would simply like to clear the air. If the gossip is not false, however, you need to own up to what you did and apologize.
Office gossip tip #7
Remember that everyone has an agenda
There are a sneaky few in every company whose sole mission is to plant seeds in your head and others’ heads in order to create conflict and come out on top of the situation.
If anyone ever eggs you on about what you think of so and so, be the bigger woman and say only good things - even if you don’t mean them. It’s better to be a hypocrite and be respected than to be honest and be disliked.
Avoid office gossip
The best thing you can do in any situation is to listen 95% of the time and speak only 5% of the time. This way, you can ensure that you won’t say anything you’ll regret and maintain your good reputation.
Whether you’re the one doing all the talking or just standing around by the water cooler and listening, office gossip can be detrimental to your career. Things can get even worse if you’re the main topic of the gossip circulating the office.
Not only can office gossip harm a person’s career, it can also create a hostile work environment, and no one enjoys going to work when that’s the order of the day.
Of course, there are times when it’s good to know what’s going on around the office, so long as it has to do with business. Being “out of the loop” can lend itself to hindering your advancement at work.
What you need to learn to do is ignore the “Sally is a slut” talk and pay close attention to the fact that Joanne is resigning next week and her job is up for grabs.
But if you had a choice to know absolutely everything about what’s going on in the office or to know absolutely nothing, it’s probably safer too go with the latter because the minute you overhear someone badmouthing someone else, you will be implicated when the feces hits the fan.
So what can you do to avoid being involved in and contributing to office gossip? Well, here’s some valuable advice to get you started.
Office gossip tip #1
Don’t agree or disagree
Sometimes you will end up overhearing or being involved in a conversation about Sheryl and her torrid affair with the married guy in accounting. These things will occur from time to time, unless, of course, you become completely antisocial at work.
The only thing you can do is say nothing. And, above and beyond all else, do not agree or disagree about whether or not Sheryl is a skank because that will make you a contributor to the gossip, which can spell the end of your climb up the ladder.
