I was told once that in order for you to have an idea of what you would like in a partner, the best thing to do is to write it down. Now by no means was I looking for perfection, but I found that once I had written it down and read it back to myself I was more clear.
There was a target of 30 points writing the first thoughts that come to mind, with no breaks, no holding back, however wierd, wonderful or mushy, just being honest.
This was my list:-
Loving and not afraid to express their emotions
Honest about their feelings
Compassionate and caring
Ambitious and enthusiastic
Likeable and lovely
Family orientated
Wants and loves children
Loves the idea of being a husband, lover and friend of mine
Loves the feeling and idea of being a father, mentor and protector of his children
Somebody who encourages me and cares whether I fulfil my dreams
A person who is interested in keeping our relationship alive
A person that knows that they have made the right decision be choosing our relationship
Somebody that shares the same sense of humour
A playful person
A person that I respect and admire
Somebody I like to spend time with
A man that has presence
A man that is romantic and affectionate
Somebody that is aware that we are each other's priority
He knows that he is where he wants to be
Loves to share with me
Is able to sit and talk to me for hours
Able to sit with me for hours
We are each others protector
They are proud of our relationship with all its ups and downs
A loyal and trustworthy partner
Handsome and healthy
Takes pride in his appearance and hygiene
Somebody I love and cherish with ease

Makeup Hauler News
My makeup hauls are not always my own purchases they come in a number of guises as you will soon see.
I get just as much pleasure out of being given makeup, to discovering makeup that I had forgotten that I owned, shopping in Selfridges in London, Nordstrom Rack in Chicago through to just one item bought from a corner shop's bargain bucket.
This Lip Gloss is so cute. It comes with a mirror on the side and a light in the lid, which can be pressed on and off.
I thought that I had lost this Lip Gloss
I have wanted a Navy Matte Eyeshadow for so long and couldn't find one that I liked. The search is now over. I found it in Ulta. They had a sale on plus I used my Ulta Card
This Mascara is so good. It puts Mascara on your lashes as it is in a hurry to get somewhere else. Primark in London is deadly for their wall of makeup and jewellery. It can be deadly getting in and out of that shop and being with friends is even more fun.
These two lipsticks I bought in a supermarket on a special. Now these are the finds that I like. They are smooth and almost like a lip balm so the colour is not too strong.

Let's Do This
Someone once said that the strong make it happen while the weak make excuses. Although this may seem rather harsh, the truth is that we all live in two worlds: the real one and the one inside our heads I have been fortunate enough to meet successful people over the years and they all seem to have one thing in common. They understand that there is a link between their dreams and reality.
These are two worlds that can be connected by a bridge, a bridge that, like any other bridge, can simply be built by taking action to get you from where you are to where you want to be.
Anybody with a little bit of know-how can take consistent action to bring the world they live in a little closer to the one inside their heads. However, these people do not get distracted by wrong turns and disappointments as they know that within every misstep is a lesson that they can use to help them achieve their dreams. Therefore, their failures actually bring them closer to their ultimate goal.
We may all want to get there quickly, but that is rarely how it works, you have to earn it. Many people live in these two worlds all their lives without the two of them meeting. For some reason, most of us believe that dreams are just that, something to smile about as we gaze outside the windows of our lives, something we’ll talk about in the beginning of the year, but get too busy, tired or fall back into the same pattern as the previous year to remember our dreams.
Our dreams are more than that. They are manifestations of all our hopes and desires for this life. They represent our life as a place where pleasures and purpose are constant. Dreams, goals whatever name you want to give them, show us how our lives could be if we just had the courage to step outside our comfort zones and reach for something higher, but the fear of failure often stops us from trying.
Is it more frightening to try and fail, or to regret never trying at all?

Enemies of Love
The enemy of love is not temptation from outside. The enemy is always within. A successful couple has its immune system. The world is full of diseases but not everyone will fall victim to them. The world is full of temptations but not everyone is beguiled by them. Happy people do not leave good relationships.
The enemies of love are not the attractive work colleague or the sexy fitness trainer, the drinking companions, the disputes with the partner’s friends or family. These are just the viruses looking for something to infect.
The enemies of love are the forces within us that make us behave in unloving, neglectful or destructive ways. The enemies of love are contempt and the many ways of showing it, habit and many ways of falling into it, inattentiveness and all the opportunities for intimacy and empathy that it misses.
They are bad moods and the corrosive effect they have on other people, jealousy and its insatiable hunger for proof. The enemies of love are constant criticism and its infinite self-justification, nagging and its stupid inability to change track, constant absence and the growing gulf it creates.
Where these agents are uncontrolled they are the death of love. They work away inside a relationship until all an outsider has to do is knock at the door for the fortress is breached.

Lost Duty-Free
I was travelling from London to Chicago and decided to stop off in Duty-Free. I don't know what it is about an airport that makes me feel that I am deprived of perfume and chocolate.
I bought the Prada Perfume Charm for me and one for my friend as a gift. Those other little bottles in the photograph are refills, if you're wondering.
I also bought a Happy by Clinique. This is a perfume that I wear daily. It has such a flowery, spring and summer smell and I buy this perfume on a regular basis.
I also bought a MAC Lip Brush No.316 and an MAC Angled Brow Brush No.208.
I could not believe that when I got to the departure lounge that I had dropped the bag somewhere.
I told security and they informed me that it will probably get handed in as it is rare that the general public will pick up a bag and claim it as their own, as it could have anything inside it. Well it wasn't handed in and I never found my duty-free.
I had one too many bags to carry that day and when I put all the bags down I must have missed the handles on the duty free bag. If it had been dropped on the way to the Gate the people walking behind me would have seen it fall, I believe that I left it in the bathrooms and the attendant took it.
I was so annoyed with myself, but I am over it now.

Furla Handbag
I found this Furla Handbag at a Thrift Store by complete surprise. I looked across the shop and just admired the size. What caught my eye was the clasp and the zipper holder. It was then that I realised that it was genuine.
Now, I believe that if the shop new about Furla and knew that it was a high end handbag designer, the price tag would have been higher than $4.00. I love Furla.
A Brilliant Find
Genuine Furla Handbag
$4.00
