Love in the City

by olympia on February 3, 2009

Hello everyone,

Winter is almost over, the North wind is blowing, and Spring beckons, can you feel it ? I sure can, It is driving me mad. I know, I know, its still cold outside but there is that smell in the air that says “wake up”. February is the month that we celebrate love :Valentines Day. I wonder if Saint Valentine intended for us to celebrate love the way we do today, considering that the Romans killed him for performing marriages when he was ordered not to. Imagine that, a world where being married to the one you love was not allowed. Today , we show love with chocolates, cards, flowers,jewelry and fancy dinners on Valentines day. Much easier than a clandestine marriage performed by a Heretic ,huh ? OR IS IT ?

Love is hard. Love in this city seems to be really hard. Maybe its not that hard, but we make it seem that way. Washington D.C. is a very hard place to find a mate, many girls at the store complain about not being able to find a man here. Loneliness is a very bad place to be in, the problem with being lonely is that you get used to it. It has a tendency to creep up on you and before you know it….you have become a recluse. HARD TO FIND A MAN IN YOUR LIVING ROOM.

Dont get me wrong, I am not saying go out and pick up any loser in the bar. NO, do not do that, Loneliness makes for very bad judgement calls( I know all about that one) . What I am telling you is that you need to make an effort to go out with your friends,co workers, family and start to meet people face to face. Match.com is fine but dont you think spending MORE time infront of the computer is STUPID ? lets not forget all those cheesy ads on there about sunsets, fireplaces,long walks on the beach COME ON ALLREADY if those guys were so romantic WHY ARE THEY ALONE ?

I THINK I KNOW WHY

We have lost TRUST. Thats right: TRUST. We no longer trust ourselves to make the right call when it comes to our hearts. We have been hurt and we do not want to be hurt again. This is true for both men and women. It has become a vicious cycle of being afraid of falling in love and falling in love with the absolutely wrong person OVER AND OVER.Thus the recluse and the confort of being LONELY. It is very easy to do. You must stop, human beings were meant to go in packs, like wolves we are social animals.We are not meant to be alone. Go out and meet you some good people, they do exist,are you not one of those good people? Or do what I did : I HAD AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE

I will tell you all about it in my post tommorow. In the meantime, Go out, play, laugh and be young.

Where are all the great hair colorists hiding?

by olympia on January 28, 2009

Hi, Voula Here:

Coloring your hair can be a big step, particularly if you’ll be lightening or darkening your hair more than a shade or two. While hair coloring can be done successfully at home, it carries with it a certain degree of stress and headache. There are so many factors to consider from selecting the proper shade, selecting the right products, to using them effectively. Sometimes you need the help of a professional hair colorist to get the results you want without falling victim to a “bad dye job.” If you need professional consultation before taking the big step, here’s how to find the right hair colorist:

Organic Food, Why Not Organic Skin Care?

by olympia on January 2, 2009

Hi, Voula here:

Have you ever stood in your shower, naked of course, and looked at the body wash or shampoo bottle and thought: “what exactly is the source of the artificial fragrances? Where do the preservatives and dye’s in my shampoo come from? And What exactly are Parabens, Propylene Glycol and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate?” Ok, maybe you never paid attention, but what on earth are these evil sounding chemicals? If you don’t have any answers to these questions listed above, or were simply up too early in the morning to ask these, let us take this opportunity to ask, “If you don’t let chemically processed foods in your body, why are you allowing chemicals and artificial products on your hair and body?” After all the skin is a large porous organ that absorbs a lot of these chemicals.
