			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your husband has become distant your mind may be imagining all kinds of scenarios to explain his behavior. It&#8217;s easy to jump to conclusions when the person you love most in the world suddenly pulls back and is less connected to you. Typically when a man becomes more closed off with his emotions it&#8217;s because he is thinking about his feelings. If you are concerned that this is a warning sign of an impending breakdown of the relationship, you may be right. There are steps you can take to make your husband love you more so you can save your marriage.</p>
<p>If your husband has become distant your first instinct may be to pester him into talking to you about his feelings. This isn&#8217;t the approach you want to take. Many men become agitated when they are feeling pressured into talking about how they are feeling. It can result in them pulling back even more. If you want your husband to feel closer to you again you need to give him some time and space.</p>
<p>Quite often the source of his change in mood and the reason your husband becomes distant is because there is an ongoing conflict between the two of you. Men don&#8217;t always express how deeply they are affected when they disagree with their wife. If the conflict is something that has been a thorn in the side of your marriage for some time it can actually cause a shift in how your husband feels about you. Work out any issues with him now so they don&#8217;t impact your marriage any further.</p>
<p>Specific things you do and say can compel your husband to fall in love with you all over again. Saying or doing the wrong thing can actually cause him to feel even more distant from you. If you want your husband to fall even deeper in love with you now than when you two first married, visit this <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-your-husband-fall-in-love-with-you" target="_new">helpful site</a>.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about whether your husband is on the brink of asking you for a divorce. You can control the situation and use specific techniques to naturally make him fall hopelessly in love with you. Find out <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-your-husband-fall-in-love-with-you" target="_new">here</a> what you need to be doing to ensure your husband loves you always.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a misconception floating around the internet, within the walls of chatty homes, and gliding down the sidewalks alongside the misinformation highway &#8212; that misconception? You have to gain weight in order to build muscle.</p>
<p>Many people mistakenly believe that muscle weighs more than fat; this is simply untrue. This fallacy is destroyed by simple logic &#8212; ten pounds equals ten pounds, whether it is fat, muscle, gold, or water. To be fair, though &#8212; five cubic inches of muscle would weigh more than five cubic inches of fat; however, this does not mean that muscle weighs more than fat.</p>
<p>Some women, and men as well, are afraid of working out and building muscle because they think that they have to gain weight in order to do so. However, such fears are not founded on sound facts. They believe that if they head to the gym, lift weights, or even take part in anything more than a light cardiovascular activity, that they will inevitably increase their weight and &#8220;bulk up&#8221;.</p>
<p>Muscle building does not have to be all about &#8220;bulking up&#8221;; it can be all about strengthening your body and redefining the way that you look. Let&#8217;s say, for instance, that you are a male, five foot, nine inches tall and weigh one-hundred and seventy-five pounds. You&#8217;re happy with your weight, but you&#8217;re not happy with the way that your body looks. By focusing on adding definition to your build, rather than adding obscene amounts of muscle, you can maintain your same weight while completely redefining your shape.</p>
<p>The same can be said for women &#8212; if you&#8217;re five foot, four inches tall and weigh one-hundred and twenty-five pounds, your current weight may be acceptable to you, but you&#8217;re afraid to work out because you hear that &#8216;muscle weighs more than fat&#8217;. The same principal applies here &#8212; you can maintain your one-hundred and twenty-five pounds, build muscle, lower your body fat percentage, and still maintain your current weight, albeit with definition and strength rather than with the less-than-toned look that you may currently be sporting.</p>
<p>Bottom line &#8212; you do not need to worry about gaining weight when you work to burn fat and build muscle. By building muscle, you will be burning fat, as well as adding definition &#8212; and by exercising a little bit of control over your workout routine, you can maintain your current weight and proudly show it off on the new and improved you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Break ups are an unfortunate part of life for every woman. We&#8217;ve all had our hearts broken at times by a man we were head over heels crazy for. In most instances we take the break up in stride. We may mourn the loss for a few days, share our sorrows with our girlfriends and then we move on. It&#8217;s not always that easy though. Some relationships are too important to get over that quickly. In fact, you may feel that your ex boyfriend was actually your one true love. If you do happen to feel that way, you&#8217;ve likely thought about winning him back. The easy answer to the question of how do you get a guy back is be emotionally strong.</p>
<p>Men expect women to fall apart in stressful emotional situations. After a split they assume that the woman, if she&#8217;s still in love, will beg for another chance. You may have actually been tempted to do just that. It&#8217;s an easy trap to fall into. Your emotions take control and before you know it you&#8217;re calling your ex and crying on the phone to him. This is not going to help you in anyway achieve the goal of reuniting with your ex. Behavior like this can actually cause him to run as far away from you as he possibly can. You really want to put on a brave face. This will really help you get a guy back because he&#8217;ll see that you&#8217;re mature and can keep yourself together.</p>
<p>Another thing that will really help you get a guy back is to agree with him when he says you need time apart. Don&#8217;t help him pack his suitcase and don&#8217;t hold the door open for him, but agree that a split may be good for you both. Again, men jump to the conclusion that if a woman loves them, she&#8217;ll fight tooth and nail to keep them. Men want to feel that, it gives them some reassurance about how you feel. If you do the exact opposite and welcome the break he&#8217;s going to go into a tailspin. Many relationships have actually been fixed just because the man who first mentioned the idea of a break up got worried when his girlfriend agreed to it. Act as if you&#8217;re okay with the break up and he&#8217;ll start to think about what he can be doing to win you back.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s obviously important that you think through each and every move when you are trying to get your boyfriend back. Most women have no idea that everything they say and do after a break up potentially impacts the chance of a reunion. To find out more about what steps are necessary to get your boyfriend back, including what not to do, visit this <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-win-back-an-ex-boyfriend" target="_new">helpful site!</a></p>
<p>There are proven and effective <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-win-back-an-ex-boyfriend" target="_new">ways</a> to win back your ex boyfriend. Don&#8217;t let your emotions guide you through this difficult time. Find out what you need to be doing to ensure you get him back forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most men in are in a subculture best described as emotionally retarded. No one teaches you the intricacies of getting over a breakup. &#8220;Walk it off and move on&#8221;, is the extent of relationship advice most men understand.</p>
<p>The following tips offer a logical, very male point of view to cope with a breakup.</p>
<p><strong>Constructive Not Destructive Behavior</strong></p>
<p>When someone tells you to be a man, they may imply &#8220;have a few beers&#8221;. It&#8217;ll ease your heart ache for one night, but has no beneficial impact on your life.</p>
<p>Engaging in destructive behavior is a fools errand. Over spending, getting drunk, hooking up with the first girl you meet offers only short term relief without offering a long term solution.</p>
<p>Turning to alcohol can also directly tarnish your image. Getting drunk only clouds your judgment enough to make unwise decisions. Have you ever called an ex girlfriend while you were drunk? It&#8217;s not pretty.</p>
<p>Focus your immediate energy on building your confidence. Engage activities where you excel and dominate. Get back to feeling in control and return to the status of alpha male.</p>
<p>Regaining confidence is vital to getting over a breakup.</p>
<p><strong>Advice For Men If you Want Your Girlfriend Back</strong></p>
<p>The pain of a breakup is difficult to mask especially for men. Confronting emotion is not second nature for most, so at a moment of weakness you may feel the urge to confess your true, inner most thoughts.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with being emotional, just don&#8217;t show it to the girl who just dumped you. You want to maintain your dignity and confidence. Portray yourself as a worthy candidate for her affection.</p>
<p>Women want security, comfort and, to a lesser degree, protection. Groveling, begging, and crying on her shoulder will only gain her pity, not her love.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve recently separated and are having trouble getting over a breakup, the relationship guide for men by <a href="http://www.tw-jackson.com" target="_new">T.W. Jackson</a> offers valuable insight. You&#8217;ll learn what you should and should not do after a breakup.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you and your spouse worried about what&#8217;s happening with your savings, your pension, your children&#8217;s college funds, or just staying employed? The Dow Jones is under 10,000 and European banks sound as shaky as the US banks. Do you find yourself fearful of your futures together? Do you find yourselves disagreeing with your partner about how to weather this financial meltdown? Do you find yourselves arguing because one of you makes more money and feels like they have more control over how money is spent? When money gets tight as a result of reduced income or increased mortgage payments and is combined with financial fears of the future, those old money arguments (my money vs. your money) may be causing you problems again. It is time for the two of you to have discussions again about money.</p>
<p>In his book Love &amp; Money, Jeff Opdyke says: &#8220;It&#8217;s not really about the money. It&#8217;s about creating another level of intimacy in your relationship and bestowing trust on each other.&#8221; He further recommends joint accounts for couples which explicitly demonstrates the trust you have with your spouse.</p>
<p>When we keep secrets from our spouse about how much we make, how we spend money, or even how much money we have, this indicates a measure of distrust in the other person. When times are tough like now, you need to trust and have faith in your legal and romantic partner. All your money and all your debts are consider joint by the state. If you are not considering them joint, you are losing out. You lose resources that your partner brings to solving financial problems. You lose a feeling of honesty about yourself. And you lose some ability to manage your family finances in the best way possible.</p>
<p>If the two of you are not quite ready to combine your accounts, at least try to agree on and be committed to the following:</p>
<p>1. Agree to live within your means, so that expenses do not exceed your income.</p>
<p>2. Agree to open, honest communication about money.</p>
<p>3. Promise not to blame one another, judge each other, or keep secrets about money.</p>
<p>4. Be prepared to listen to your partner and understand their perspective.</p>
<p>You both need to be fully aware of the family gross and net income, to know where household (and individual) money goes each month and to know how much debt you have and the interest costs you are paying.</p>
<p>If you are unable to have a frank and open discussion about your money with your spouse, you may benefit from seeing a marriage counselor. The National Registry of Marriage Friendly Therapists (www.marriagefriendlytherapist.com) is a good resource for finding a therapist who is invested in helping you save your marriage. If you are unable to curb your spending, you might consider Debtors Anonymous, an organization for people trying to reduce debt and regain solvency. If you need a housing counselor or help with your mortgage, go to the web site of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (www.hud.gov) and click on the Hope for Homeowners link.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to realize you are not alone. Many couples and families are struggling. Don&#8217;t let your marriage be a casualty of the worst financial disaster most of us have ever seen. You and your spouse are in this together. Get the help you need to keep your marriage stable and safe.</p>
<p>If you decide that you might need marriage counseling, check out my website, <a href="http://www.PamLipe.com" target="_new">http://www.PamLipe.com</a> My specialty is marriage and relationship counseling. For 20 years, I have been helping couples find the love and support they want in their marriages. My therapy practice serves the metropolitan area of Minneapolis/St.Paul, MN.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might be surprised to learn that just about every human being has 100,000 strands of hair on their heads. However, because of differences in texture, some people appear to have less hair, and some people appear to have a whole lot more.</p>
<p>What is texture?<br />Texture is the circumference of each individual strand of hair. If you have fine hair then your hair has a small circumference and you appear to have less hair on your head. Conversely, if you have coarse hair then your hair has a larger circumference and this bulk makes you appear to have a lot more hair than someone with finer hair texture.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the texture of your hair is simply a matter of genetics; if your parents have coarse hair, you will also, if they have finer hair, you will too. However, thankfully the hair care industry has developed ways you can enhance and modify your hair&#8217;s natural texture to achieve the popular styling choices you desire.</p>
<p>Fine Textured Hair</p>
<p>Fine textured hair is generally straight and can appear limp because of residues from hair care products. It can easily be processed by perming and coloring. However, it is important to not over-process fine hair because it can be easily damaged.</p>
<p>There are many things you can do to enhance the texture of fine hair. Some of them are:</p>
<p>Use a Clarifying Shampoo &#8211; To reduce residues and oils you should use a clarifying shampoo on fine hair. This will strip off the residue left by shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. Kenra manufactures a shampoo called: Kenra Clarifying Shampoo. Kenra&#8217;s Clarifying Shampoo is ideal for removing mineral deposits and chemical build-up from hair styling products. However, while this shampoo cleanses your hair, it also adds shine and body.</p>
<p>Use Mousse While Wet &#8211; After you shampoo with a clarifying shampoo, adding mousse to your hair (when it is wet) can give it added texture. Start at the roots and massage the mousse into your hair and then let it air dry, or dry it with a hairdryer on low heat. Not everyone wants to use the same hold factor in a mousse. There is a very wide variety of mousses to choose from, however I have three different options to look at. First is the Alterna Life Volumizing Spray Mousse. This is an aerosol mousse that has a light to medium hold. The Alterna Life Mousse was manufactured with fine and thin hair in mind. The exclusive LIFE blend of extracts provides weightless thickening agents that define, maintain, and preserve volume all day long. This product also contains anti humectants that effectively repel humidity, leaving your hair with a smooth texture and a radiant shine.</p>
<p>If you need more of a hold, I would go with a medium hold mousse. An example of this is the Biosilk Silk Mousse. This is an alcohol free mousse that is rich, creamy, and infused with concentrated silk and botanical extracts which add volume and shine.</p>
<p>If you require a strong holding mousse, I would recommend the Brocato Volumizing Foam. This product is a strong holding mousse that creates visual texture and stunning shine. This mousse allows your hair style to be firm, yet still moveable. This is an exceptional volumizing foam with a powerful hold that is great for all hair types!</p>
<p>Color Your Fine Hair &#8211; Another good way to add texture to fine hair is to color it. Coloring your hair adds texture to it by enlarging the hair shaft.</p>
<p>Coarse Textured Hair</p>
<p>Coarse, textured hair is generally thicker and harder to process. Coarse hair resists perming, straightening, and coloring.</p>
<p>There are a few things you can do to work with the texture of coarse hair. Some of them are:</p>
<p>Add Moisture &#8211; Coarse hair needs added moisture to control frizz and curl. By using a good conditioner you can insure you course hair will lay flatter and be shinier. Some manufacturers offer leave in treatments, rinse-out treatments, or hydrating conditioners that will help to incorporate moisture back into your hair. Bonacure makes a rinse-out treatment entitled Bonacure Moisture Treatment. This is a great product for naturally dry, or naturally coarse hair. This product reconstructs the moisture in your hair shaft from the inside out, which balances the moisture in your hair.</p>
<p>Joico makes a leave-in detangler that you can use on a daily basis which is called Joico Daily Leave-in Detangler. This is a conditioning agent that helps to condition, detangle, and make hair easier to manage. This product will also help you restore the moisture balance in your hair.</p>
<p>People rave about Pureology products and what they do for their hair, and that is why I would recommend the Pureology Hydrating Conditioner. The hydrating conditioner works from the inside out to keep your hair color fresh and your hair detangled ,all with renewed body and amazing shine! Hair is left conditioned, color protected, and shiny!</p>
<p>Air Dry &#8211; One of the most important things you can do for coarse hair is to let it air dry. Wash it, condition it, and then let it dry on its own. By not handling your hair too much while it is drying, it will not frizz.</p>
<p>Whether you have fine hair, coarse hair, or something in between, you can work with it by learning about texture and which products to use and which to avoid. By using products that are beneficial for your hair texture, you can better amplify the hair that you were given.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a panic attack can be a frightening experience. I&#8217;ve had panic attacks myself for years. There are some tips though that helped me overcome my attacks most of the time. While panic attacks are certainly frightening, they are physically harmless. All that happens during an attack is triggered by your thoughts, mostly subconsciously.</p>
<p>The following tips will help you during a panic attack. Please remember though that these tips won&#8217;t help you overcome the underlying disorder; they will only help you regain control when having a panic attack. You should still consult a psychotherapist or buy a professional self-help course to work on the causes &#8211; the triggers that cause your panic attacks.</p>
<p>Tips for Panic Attacks:</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Distract yourself: Count down from 1000 or solve math problems to occupy your mind. Don&#8217;t focus on the panic attack and don&#8217;t try to fight your way out of it. This will only make it last longer due to an increased level of adrenaline.</li>
<li>Splash your face with cool water.</li>
<li>Listen to relaxing music while telling yourself that those attacks have never hurt you in the past and won&#8217;t hurt you this time either. Tell yourself those symptoms you feel are just caused by your thoughts and that they are not medically harmful.</li>
<li>Watch TV to distract yourself.</li>
<li>If you are breathing rapidly, breathe slowly in and out of a paper bag. You are probably over-breathing and taking in too much oxygen, which can make you feel dizzy.</li>
<li>Talk to someone (or phone someone). If the other person knows about your panic attacks tell them you are just having one and tell them what you are feeling right now.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t sit down, do something physical.</li>
</ul>
<p>These simple tips for panic attacks helped me many times, and I hope they will help you, too. Always remember those symptoms you feel are just caused by your brain and are not medically harmful or dangerous.</p>
<p>Panic attacks are more common than you might think. Fortunately, there are several professional <a target="_new" href="http://www.squidoo.com/panic_and_anxiety_attacks">self-help courses</a> that can help you overcome your panic attacks. <a target="_new" href="http://www.squidoo.com/panic_and_anxiety_attacks">Click here</a> for more information on treating panic attacks at home.</p>
