Over the hills and through the?!?
Having tackled your knight in shinning armour, you now have the responsibility of planning the perfect romantic evening out on the town. Deciding if you want to dine out under the stars on the beach, or enjoy the evening inside at that swanky new downtown restaurant you have been eying. As you go about choosing the venue I recommend doing a little bit of research, ask your beau what their favorite food is, ask about their funniest dinning experience.
Lastly go with what you know. Remember that amazing diner you went to last month; it’s great atmosphere sticking out in your mind? Take a chance and drag your beau there. One never knows what lies ahead, and your beau may have never tried Thai food before, and instantly falls into a deep culinary love affair on taking you are along for the ride. Plus you get the chance to reveal a little bit about yourself in a subtle way.
V-Necks, Vest, Sweaters, Oh My –
Dressing for a date can be challenging at the best of times, not to mention when you are late and feeling the pressure. So when the dress muse has fled the building leaving you holding an empty hanger, Don’t Panic. Just follow this simple tip.
The night before your date pull out two of your favorite outfits with an eye towards variety. The key here is to save yourself from the time and frustration it takes choosing the outfits while you are getting ready. Try beginning with the shirt, find one that both grabs your attention and soothes the eyes. As you move onto the pants or a nice pair of jeans, remember it is best to go with ones that hug the hips and show off all curves in a positive light, make sure to twirl in front of a mirror.
Choosing accessories is the best part in my opinion, as one can use them to frame ones outfit or change the look entirely. Lastly should come the shoes, as a huge fan of flip-flops I always like to suggest them but you know your feet best. If your love affair with boots has a proven track record then by all means go with what you knows...
Don't forgot to layer, one never knows the temperature and layer provides the perfect way to show off your fashion style and taste!

With the Beloved’s water of life, no illness remains
In the Beloved’s rose garden of union, no thorn remains.

How can there be a window where no wall remains?
From Thief of Sleep
by Shahram Shiva
Tao Te Ching -
Without opening your door,
you can open your heart to the world.
Without looking out your window,
you can see the essence of the Tao.
The more you know,
the less you understand.
The Master arrives without leaving,
sees the light without looking,
achieves without doing a thing.
