Body Language Speaks
True or False? 90% of what you say to the people is non-verbal? True statement. You can have five times more of an effect on a person than the actual words you speak.
Here's the scoop:
The smile. It's the universal sign of acceptance and happiness. A smile that reaches the eye is a genuine smile.
Eye contact. If you catch someone looking at you from across the room, look away and then return their gaze at you again. Hm, something interesting is going on. A direct stare lasting more than a few moments can be considered aggressive or hostile.
When you talk to someone for the first time, are their pupils dilating? When a person is looking at something they are interested in, whether it is a person or an item, their pupils dilate.
Body position. A person interested will often stand with their body facing you directly, expressing they are open to you. Women will most likely play with their hair, swirl it around their finger or toss it over their shoulder. Men tend to stand straighter. Someone interested will attempt to look their best for the person they are engaged with in conversation.
Mirroring. Big sign here. You may notice that the other person is mimicking your movements or gestures. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The person will tilt their head to the side while listening to you speak.
Obviously, this isn't the deal breaker to tell if someone is genuinely interested but it's definitely intriguing info and something to pay attention to.

Move Beyond The Basic Braid
HOW TO FISHTAIL BRAID
1. Spritz hair spray onto dry hair--Bucket suggest using Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. "Rake your hands through your hair instead of a brush and you'll get that modern, ropey look," Bucket says.
2. Separate hair into two equal sections at the back of the head. Fishtail braiding requires only two sections (not three, like a classic or French braid).
3. Use your index fingers to pull out a half-inch section of hair from the area near the base of your ear on the right section of your head. Cross it over to the left section. (It's important to pull sections from underneath when you cross over to that scaly look.)
4. Repeat with a half-inch piece from the left section, crossing it over to the right. "And don't worry if layers start to fall out of the braid," Bucket says. "It gives the look a pretty, effortless feel."
5. Continue adding half-inch pieces until you reach the ends, and secure with an elastic. Pull on the braid a bit to loosen it. "Don't put pressure on yourself to make it perfect," Bucket says. "If there's a bump or knot, leave it."

The Struggle
Sometimes, you have it all and sometimes a piece of the puzzle is missing.
Truth is, we love 'the struggle'. Each time, we have the opportunity to find something better. Some may say, 'never being satisfied' is not a good quality but I think it's what keeps us motivated.

You've Got The Love
Sometimes we take the 'special people' in our lives for granted. Thank them today.
Dedicated to all my friends who make me feel loved and appreciated...every day.
FRIDAY EYE CANDY: Andrew Garfield
"I'm very neurotic and self-conscious. So I think that I'll know when I'm becoming a dick and believing my own press."
"Obviously there's something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you're doing them for the wrong reasons - for money, or for the fame. I hope I won't ever do that. I don't feel at home in LA, I feel like I'm on holiday. It's nice to dip your feet in occasionally, but I think it's probably quite unhealthy to spend too much time there at once."
