Ten Tips for a Healthy, Happy Relationship

Not to say that we have the perfect relationship, or that we get along great all of the time, but I’ve thought of a list of things we do to keep our relationship happy and healthy and I thought you might find it interesting to read for yourselves.

  1. Don’t go to bed angry! This is the most important thing in the world. If you’re having an argument, at least end it on a positive note at bedtime. If you go to bed angry, you’ll wake up in a shitty mood and you’ll be even more angry. Then there’s no chance of talking things out and making amends.
  2. Talk about your problems as they come up; don’t allow everything to build up and explode in your faces. When you’ve got something on your mind, or your other half does something that pisses you off, say something! Don’t let it fester in your mind and build on top of everything else, because it’ll all end up making you crazy and shit will hit the fan. If you’re able to be calm and talk things out like responsible adults, everyone ends up happier.
  3. Be honest. No matter what, don’t ever lie to each other. We remember the things the other says, but rarely remember exactly what you say to the other. It’s too easy to get caught up in your lies, and when you do, you tend to lie to cover up the previous lie. Who wants a relationship based on lies and deceit? Being honest with one another is one of the most important things in a relationship.
  4. Compromise! We can’t have our way all the time, but there are ways of changing things around and altering your plans so that everyone is happy. If you can’t compromise, then there’s no relationship.
  5. One thing I’m bad at is knowing when to ‘drop it’. When Hubby and I argue, I take it very personal and I feel like I have to fix things 100%. If I still feel like there’s more to be said, I say it. It’s super hard for me to just throw it aside and forget about it. It’s something we all have to work on.
  6. Another one of the most important things in a relationship is support. If you can’t support each other, what can you do? Support each others ideas, dreams, and aspirations; don’t shoot them down because you think they’re ‘unrealistic’ or ‘stupid’ – Obviously your other half doesn’t think so, and you should always be there to cheer them on and, if whatever it is doesn’t work out, be there to catch them when they fall.
  7. Get interested in each others’ hobbies. Let’s face it: sitting around on our asses all day is no fun at all. There are tons of things to do, and having new experiences is always a good time. Even if you don’t particularly like doing it, it’ll mean a lot to your other half if you just try. Seeing the happiness on your other half’s face will make it all worth it, and hey – maybe you’ll even have fun.
  8. Keep your word. This is the biggest problem I’ve got with Hubby. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. If you say you’re going to call, call. If something comes up and you can’t help it, call and let the other person know why and what’s going on, and set a different time to do whatever it is. Being reliable shows that you care.
  9. Communicate! For the love of all things Holy, talk to each other. Tell each other how you feel, what’s on your mind, whatever you feel like saying. Let your other half do the same. Communication is key – Miscommunication is one of the biggest problems I see in most relationships. Being on the same wavelength is super important.
  10. Have sex. Yea, I said it. Sex is a different way of communicating. It’s important that you be passionate about your love for each other and that you show each other how hot that passion burns. You don’t have to have sex every day, or even every week or month, but it’s important to every relationship, whether we like to admit it or not.

    11. I’m sure we’ll think of more to add to the list, but I figure ten is enough to start off with. I hope you find them as helpful as we do, and wish you and your partner the best of luck in your life together.

I Am Sliquid Smooth

Sliquid Smooth Shave CrémeI’m not going to lie – I don’t shave during the winter. Yea, it’s gross, but I’ve got a fiancée who loves me whether or not I have hairy man legs. :cpl: Now that the weather is getting nicer, it’s time again to start shaving. The first shave of the spring is always the hardest for me, cause the hairs are long enough to wrap around and get caught up and tangled in the razor. It’s a huge fiasco that I hate going through, so I just don’t bother when the weather calls for long pants all the time…

I have one of those TrimStyle razors, with the regular razor on one end and the electric razor at the other. I usually have to go up and down my legs several times with the electric part first, just to trim the hair down so that the razor will cut it instead of getting the hair tangled in the razor. I still end up going through at least two razor heads, cause one always gets too caked up. I know, gross. But hey, at least I’m honest. :tonguer:

Now that I’ve got Sliquid Smooth Shave Créme (unscented) from Babeland, I’ll never have to go through any of that nonsense again! This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. It made it a million times easier to shave, and my legs feel super silky smooth now. I didn’t even have to use the electrical end – I just rubbed the créme onto my skin and shaved like regular, and the difference is amazing. There’s no stubbles left over or anything. And it’s not just for your legs, either! I was finally able to do a good job of shaving my pubic area, and even that was easier. Closest. Shave. Ever!

I wish I would’ve thought to take a before and after picture (of my legs!), but I didn’t, so you’ll have to take my word for it. I absolutely recommend this shaving créme to everybody! Male, female, and everything in between; whether they’ve got burly man legs like I did, or you shave like I probably should… I think I may start shaving during the winter again, but I know for sure I’ll never use another shaving créme again.

Moving in a Different Direction

I’ve decided that Take Me Nowhere is going to go in a different direction from now on. Instead of being my personal blog, it’s going to be a relationship blog. Both Hubby and I will post different things about our relationship, relationship tips, and product reviews. I am still keeping a personal blog, and if you’d like to know the URL you can email me or do some clever searching; I’m not posting the URL publicly because I’m doing my best to keep my anonymity this time around.

I have decided to delete my old posts, except for the review I did for WP Webhost, because I don’t want certain people to see the same articles on the new site and automatically put 2 and 2 together. I will be changing content around here as well. I just figured I’d warn you so you all so you don’t show up and have a bunch of love, sex, and relationship stuff shoved in your face out of nowhere…

I hope you’ll still come back often. I think the new direction will be more interesting than my ramblings anyway. :wink:

WP Webhost: Hosting for WordPress Made Easy

Posted on Dec 15, 2008 at 03:18 am

A couple of months ago, I received an email from Foress over at WP WebHost, offering an unbeatable hosting package. I have to admit, at first I thought it was a scam and I was extremely weary of switching. I exchanged several emails with him to make sure that it was legitimate before I made up my mind – It just sounded too good to be true.

After a week of exchanging emails, I finally decided to take the plunge. Upon ordering the new hosting, I had some problems switching this domain over (due to lack of information on my then-host’s part) so I contacted Foress and asked if I could still get the hosting on another domain. He agreed, and I registered Sweet Leaf Tribune while I was waiting for the issues with Take Me Nowhere to be resolved.

My account was set up almost instantly, any question I’ve had has been answered very quickly, I’ve had absolutely no down-time that I know of, and I have more space than I could ever dream of needing!

There are so many hosting companies that are completely ignorant to all things WordPress, but this is a hosting company that is especially for WordPress sites. The people that run it actually know WordPress in and out and are capable of WordPress support as well as normal web-hosting support.

I’ve had my fair share of hosts, but I’d have to say that WP WebHost has definitely been the best so far. I’m entirely happy that I made the switch, and extremely grateful to Foress and everyone at WP WebHost for hosting me so graciously.

I highly recommend them to anyone with a WordPress site looking for a new host. And for the holiday season, they are running a fabulous sale on hosting packages, starting at 50 gigs of space for only $5.95 a month! You can’t beat that – Not even with a stick.

What are you waiting for? Go check out WP WebHost and order your hosting now. :)
