I am always reading articles on how to get back with your ex, and it always amazes to see the crazy advice that so called experts are giving out to people. Is it so hard for people to identify the problems in their relationships and figure out a way to fix them?

After reading so much tosh recently I thought I would share some of my general musings with you on the subject, so here it goes…

Obviously it is! Otherwise people would not be experts in giving out advice on how to get your ex back. Now for me, it’s simple; you need to stay true to yourself and act in a way that you feel comfortable with. It is no use trying all of these tricks and games to make him or her feel jealous and all that sort of thing if you would not do that naturally. It may work for some people, but if you are not happy with doing it, then don’t. The best thing you can do to get your ex back, is to do what comes naturally

If this means ringing them up to tell them how much you miss them and want to be back together with them, then surprisingly enough it might just work! It is quite probable that your ex feels exactly the same as you, and all you needed was a bit of time apart to think things through. In this situation it would never be a good idea to play games and mess around because you could cause problems and mess up your chances. Honesty is always the best policy. Playing hard to get and making people jealous is just going to have the reverse effect.

Don’t be hasty and assume your relationship is 100% over when there may still be a chance. Wait a little while before you head on down to one of the tattoo removal clinics to erase his name from your arm!

A friend of mine who decided to skip cosmetics found herself without a job because she was not looking professional and presentable. This may sound unfair and crude. However, this is how the world works and there is no escaping it. Would you be interested in watching a celebrity when he or she does not wear makeup? Such images are often posted on the Internet as humorous and funny pictures. Hence, it is important understand that we all are guilty of the hypocrisy of relying on beauty as a sign of goodness.

This is the reason why I use my Schwarzkopf Igora cream on a daily basis. At the end of the day, people like the fact that I look beautiful and base their decisions on this intangible option. When the world stops focusing on outer beauty and desires to focus on inner beauty, then perhaps we can get rid of these so called dangerous cosmetic solutions. Until then, they are necessary and the sensible option would be to make use of them in such a manner that does not cause any long-term damage to our health and skin.

Of course, relying on reputed brands and quality products will automatically reduce this risk. Hence, just ask yourself whether you really practice what you preach before criticizing all those individuals who use artificial cosmetics. You will find that everybody uses these empty words without really meaning.

Chess is something I never played until coming to London. In France we tend to play checkers (you call it draughts) more then chess. Yet thanks to a female friend of mine who shall remain nameless because she wants to, I have been steadily increasing my skill in one of the most strategic games I have ever played. Chess is something that I never considered as useful training tool for my mind.

Strategy

The game itself took me a few months to master – I’m French! And we’re more interested in our wine then in playing complicated chess matches. Yet after I finally one my first game against my female companion, I felt so elated I scooped her up in my arms and gave her a massive kiss! I do not think her boyfriend was too happy, but I was so buzzed at beating her in something she taught me, I didn’t care. Besides I apologies to her and she was fine with it.

I never realised how much foresight a good chess player has to have when playing the game. To win a match one has to think about five moves ahead depending on what strategy you employ. I also had to learn how to anticipate my opponent’s moves and counter them quickly before losing pieces. When I first started playing chess I didn’t realise how important it was to sacrifice pieces in order to win the game. I was greedy and wanted to hold onto all my pawns despite them being much less fluid around the board. My female friend gave me a good hiding and took virtually every piece on the board before moving in for the kill on my King. I lamented that I had made a terrible mistake and I was close to throwing the chess board across the room – that was how passionate I was getting about the game!

Chess Sets

Of course I managed to control my temper and after winning my first match soon realised that even when losing, the game can be immense fun. But I was to learn much more about chess. I never realised just how many different permutations of the game there were – chess, checkers, and draughts – but also how much craftsmanship goes into making a quality chess set!

Of course I learnt on a set that my friend owned. It was a beautifully realised porcelain board with magnetic balls implanted in the pieces. Moving my players around the board was akin to watching precious stones glide elegantly across an ice rink. The artistry of chess was becoming apparent to me quickly and I began to feverishly search for a decent chess set I could call my own.

Where to get quality sets

It turns out that there are a fair few choices when trying to purchase a quality chess set. Initially I tried out the local toyshops on the high street, but was generally appalled with what I saw – cheap plastic sets that would no doubt fall apart as soon as they were used more then once. Undeterred I then transferred my search online and began to realise that chess was bigger then I ever thought it was!

For a start it is now a recognised Olympic sport – something I’m sure many people are unaware of. What are truly amazing though are the numbers and types of different chess pieces and boards you can get. If you’re feeling a bit short on cash but still want a quality chess set then there are more and more really good sites cropping up online that sell quality sets for very affordable prices.

As for me, well I’m off to see if I can beat my friend again! She’s good, but I think I can take her.

Sometimes you just have to get on your soap box with things and let them ranting words fly. I have no idea why they call it a soap box, or even who the ’they’are, but what I do know is that not all London drivers are awful human beings. And now, my friend, I am going to prove it.

Just so we’re all on the same page, here is the common definition of a London driver (and no, this is not a joke):

He drives like a maniac. He awakens from his bed and is instantly angry at the world. “I’m gonna drive as fast as I can and cut people up all over!” he says. He means in his car, of course. This isn’t some serial killer. I wouldn’t know a thing about that.

So, he gets in his car and shuts his eyes, imagining all the carnage he is about to make. Then he drives through the streets without a care in the world – yes, no seat belt either – not giving a damn about the rules of the road that apply to everyone else!

if you’re ever in need of help, a London cabbie should be the first person to find

The reality is that this is simply not true. In the main. OK, so Martin from payroll software , one of the most placid people I know, is a bit of a driving maniac, but otherwise I see no proof in this stereotype. In fact, some London drivers are nothing but helpful. Especially the cab drivers…

When it comes to being friendly, cabbies beat bus drivers hands down (and I don’t think I am alone in thinking that…). This is for the simple reason that cabbies know the road and only have to pick up people they like the look of. This is very different to bus drivers of course…they can be a nightmare, and so would you be if you spent every minute of your waking life driving around hoards of strangers who you absolutely hated.

Of course, I could be wrong, and there are always exceptions – but that’s life, isn’t it? The main thing you have to remember is that if you’re ever in need of help, a London cabbie should be the first person to find. After all they’ve dealt with every kind of customer there is, which gives them an advantage if you’re being mugged or hassled in The Big Smoke (which doesn’t happen as much as some people might think, you should know).

My personal belief of why London will always be the best is this: it is one of the few places in the UK where tradition and innovation meets and bonds. This magic combination should never be underestimated.

Another reason why The Big Smoke must never be underestimated is unity: when the London bombings happened and shook the country, in London, where it was all going down, strangers helped strangers out of the rubble. It had been a while since such a massive display of coming together – of fighting for the same cause – had been seen. It of course wasn’t what London needed – indeed no city needs terrorism – but the result was the kindness of people showing through from a mile away. This made me proud to live here; yes I was also afraid, but the courage that so many showed in those few dark days made up for it.

Just the other day I heard a man called rowan dartington talking about this. He was seated in the cafe with his back to me, and as I listened to his conversation with the man who was blocked from view, I thought I am proud to be here. London is a fantastic place.

I love it for these reasons:

1) Walking down the Embankment, I look out across the river and see something which you can only see here. The hustle-and-bustle of nature combined with the determination of mankind. I love it. OK, so the Thames itself is a bit murky and straight and uninteresting in places, but don’t overlook the view as the Sun comes up. There really is nothing like it when the Sun goes down either, casting a golden shimmer over the ripples as The Big Smoke quietens down for the day. Not that it’s ever really quiet, but I think you know what I mean.

2) The treasure the Thames has in it: there was recently a TV show about this. It showed a man wandering the bank of the Thames, searching for treasure. And he found it alright. Over the course of the show he uncovered all kinds of objects which were still in great condition due to the magical properties of the Thames’mud.

3) At night it is really quiet. So it’s not as quiet as the country, but truly, there is nowhere quite like it. Another great thing is how safe I feel walking the Embankment at night. The river seems to act almost as a protective force, shielding me and allowing my thoughts to wander away from boring stuff like what heating oil our flat needs, and onto wondrous thing like what I will do in the summer.

Eternally About Me : As I have said at the bottom of this page,…

Of course, you can take it to the extreme. I see a man every day at the train station who pretty much has trained his brain to read while walking around. Hie eyes rarely look up and the pages flick frantically as if he only has a week to live (and who knows, he might do, so I should probably stop this bit here…).

I personally always have a book with me. I read on the tube, at the doctor’s waiting room, and at every opportunity. This has pretty much quadrupled the amount of books I read, and has allowed me to learn many a new and fascinating fact.

Another thing you can do is read on the toilet. It makes sense, after all, because it’s dead time when you’d be doing very little else. Personally, half my classics have been read on the toilet, and I’ve read numerous magazine articles while “otherwise engaged” (such as one about uSwitch credit cards which really concerned me…has the world gone credit card mad?).

So don’t fall into the not reading trap. Make the most of time, especially if you live in the great city of London. It could be a really calming thing for you, you know.

When I moved to London a friend of mine was telling me was caught between doing a laser hair removal treatment and doing some interior work on her home. She was interested in doing a Moroccan style interior. I wondered what was the big deal about Moroccan Interior Design, so I ask her and did some basic research. Here is a bit of what I found.

You get to see influences of different cultures in the land of Morocco and the richness of this beautiful country is reflected by the Moroccan interior design.

The main elements that can help you to bring the Moroccan theme in your house are tiles, dishes, lanterns, rugs, metal works etc.

Choose fabrics that are rich in colors as the Moroccan style designs includes rich colors. You will find the light fixtures of Morocco quite different than the other countries. Artisans hand craft these lights so these lights are special. You can also use henna lamps to decorate the rooms.

There are two kinds of rugs found in Morocco, small ones for praying and big rugs for living rooms. You will find Asia and Islamic influences on the designs.

Most of the Moroccan furniture is wooden. Utensils found in the kitchen are made from ceramic material.

Use bright color potteries to decorate the rooms to bring a Moroccan look. Choose golden and yellow color to portray the desert and blue and green color to portray the see in your rooms to bring the natural beauty of Morocco.

Use canopies in the seating and dining area. Moroccan theme is a good style and can easily blend with today’s modern lifestyle.
