He Texted: The Ultimate Guide To Decoding Guys Book Review

Technology usually makes things easier, but when it comes to dating, things are now more complicated than ever. Sure access is easier: Twitter and Facebook has given all of us the chance to stalk. Not that we would, of course.

But with access comes more problems: we know a lot about people just from their social media, but also nothing at all.

As the He Texted: The Ultimate Guide to Decoding Guys back cover puts it:

He Texted The Ultimate Guide To Decoding Guys Book Review

‘You’re a busy, intelligent, modern woman. You stay on top of work e-mail. You “like” all the baby photos your sister posts on Facebook. You found your dream job through LinkedIn. But when your crush texts you “Sup?” every few days, yet never asks you out, what the hell does that mean?

These days, dating is more confusing than ever. Friending? Following? Liking? Poking? Linking? LOLing? WTF? In an era when FaceTime is no longer the same as face-to-face, it’s no wonder you can’t tell if he’s into you or just really into his iPhone.

This hilarious and essential guide from the founders of HeTexted.com—with totally straightforward guy sight from the HeTexted Bros—will help you autocorrect your digital dating life, from decoding your Facebook friendships, to reading the intentions behind guys’ perplexing texts, to deciding when—if ever—you should text him first. It’s He’s Just Not That Into You for the digital age and What to Expect When You’re Expecting . . . a second date—all in one invaluable package!’

I found this book entertaining, interesting and full of great information and advice. It reminded me of a He’s Just Not That Into You for the modern age. The book comes from the creators of HeTexted.com, which consists of Lisa Winning and Carrie Henderson McDermott. Lisa has worked in start-ups all of her life and Carrie bravely left her job at Glamour magazine. And with great success: He Texted is an indispensable guide to dating in the modern age.

There is a lot of amazing advice for decoding texts and avoiding modern dating pitfalls in this book from different sources, including some men. It is fun to read and will help you through the minefield that is modern dating.

MyLash by Sarah Bacchus

Hello everyone I’m one of the new writers for frost magazine and I wanted to share with all of you the most amazing product ever. Its literally changed my life and it could change yours. It will boost your confidence and make you feel truly beautiful.

Now I had the shortest lashes on the planet and trying to find a mascara that actually works in aiding my pain has been a life long ambition, Every singe new mascara or lash fibre product that comes out I rush out and purchase in the hope that this one will give me lashes I have always wanted. Sadly all this has done has made my wallet lighter and a little more disappointed every time. Until now… MyLash is a prescription only product that is a miracle in a little bottle. I called the company and they kindly sent me a bottle to review! So this is kind of a sponsored post that’s turned into the love of my life product I can’t live without!

I am going to share with you my lash journey from day one right though to the 12 week period that they suggest you use daily at night time for the best results and after that use every 2 days to have lasting effects. This product is not cheap and I was kindly sent a sample to try. I can tell you Im so impressed already and I think this has to be one of the best beauty products ever developed. So ladies here are the pictures of my lashes from week 1 to week 12.

The active Ingredients of this product is bimatoprost which is a prostamide agonist. This means that it activates receptors of hair growth cycle. Using this product you increase the positive signals to the hair cycle and in turn increasing the rate of growth.

Sarah Bacchus

Here you see my original lashes…totally dreadful. you can see they are short and stumpy. I have never had long luscious lashes like I longed for. I never thought I would until a little product came into my life called MyLash

Lashes

This was week 4 above and Im seeing great results

MyLash

Week 7

Can you imagine my excitement and happiness at week 7!! They are amazing…. Outstanding visible results. Pictured here with just one coat of mascara.

MyLash

MyLash week 12 with one coat of mascara

AMAZING!!!!!! I am so happy. This product works. Hands down. Proof is in my pictures. No other product has ever helped me.

Here is how to apply your MyLash

  1. Choose a time of day to apply your treatment. Most people apply Mylash at night before they go to bed. This allows them to integrate Mylash into their daily routine. Try to apply Mylash at the same time every day. Remove all of your makeup by cleaning the area. If you use any makeup remover then wait until this has dried before proceeding.
  2. Take an applicator and apply the smallest amount of fluid possible to the tip. The product is very potent and a small amount is all that is needed. Applying a large amount each time or applying it more than once a day will not give you better results – it will just make you run out quicker!
  3. The best way to transfer a small amount from the bottle to the applicator is to hold the bottle upside down or at a downwards angle. This will cause a droplet to appear at the nozzle without having to squeeze the bottle. Take an applicator and touch the tip onto the droplet. This will cause a small amount of fluid to transfer to the applicator. This will be enough to do one complete lash line.
  4. Apply the liquid to the skin at the base of the eyelashes, moving from one end of the lash line to the other.
  5. Most people apply the treatment to the top and bottom lash line, giving a total of 4 transfers of fluid from the bottle to the applicator.
  6. Many people find that the bottom lash line doesn’t need as much fluid to cover the complete line and use the excess on any points on their eyebrow that they wish to thicken

 

 

Don’t apply the product more often than once a day. You will not achieve better results and the growth will not be faster.

Have patience – the growth cycle for an eyelash hair is between 12 to 16 weeks so the best results can take months. The first results will be visible within 4 to 6 weeks but persistence is the key to the best results.

Most people find that one bottle will last 3 to 4 months. After 4 months, when the eyelash hair cycle is complete, you can drop down to applying the product every second day. This will maintain your eyelashes at their peak length and make all subsequent bottles last longer.

Take a picture of your eyelashes before you start and after your third month – you will be delighted with the results.

* If you ever run low on applicators then they will send you more free of charge.

Here is the link to the consultation page

Totally worth the money at around £100, its not the cheapest way to get amazing lashes but its by far the best! Im hooked. One bottle should last the 3/4 months initial growth period and then you would only need to purchase 2 bottles a year thereafter. I bet I have spent much more on silly expensive branded mascaras that don’t do a thing!

Get Your Hair Party Ready For Australia Day With Aussie Haircare

aussiehaircareDid you know that it will be Australia Day soon? In fact it is on Sunday 26th January. To celebrate @Aussie_Hair_UK, Beautyandthedirt and The Sunday Girl are hosting a Twitter party this Friday between 12.30 and 1.30.

The Aussie Hair Care expert Liz Taw will be on hand to answer hair questions so you can get your hair party-ready for all of those Australia Day parties. You need to use the hashtag #aussieparty to take part. There is a lot of great party-hair looks around at the moment. We have been taking inspiration from the Golden Globes and the SAG/AFTRA awards.

Aussie will be giving away 10 sets of two products to those who tweet either a question for Liz or generally take part – these will be chosen at random throughout the chat and the winners will be dm’d.

Another reason to be excited: Aussie is launching brand new Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light Deep Treatment Mousse, RRP £4.99, in store at the start of February. These are the perfect products to prepare your hair to make sure it’s healthy, shiny and party ready.

These are the perfect treatment for finer hair in need of deep hydration and nourishment. You will also be able to get your hands on 3 Minute Miracle Light Aussome Volume and 3 Minute Miracle Light Mega, which are both light weight conditioning mousses. There is also Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light treatments. They fit in perfectly with your usual shower routine – start with your Aussie shampoo and conditioner of choice, follow with the whipped-cream like mousse, leave-in for 3 minutes then wash out for deep conditioning goodness. Now it’s easier than ever to ramp up your everyday hair routine with a little touch of magic; each treatment will help to nourish fine locks like they have never been nourished before.

The Aussie philosophy is: “There’s more to life than hair, but it’s a good place to start” Too true.

Ronan Farrow Publicly Slams Woody Allen Golden Globes Tribute

Not everyone was happy that Woody Allen received a Cecil B. Demille award at the Golden Globes last night. In fact it sparked some controversy and even Allen’s ex-wife Mia and her son, Ronan, had choice words to say about it. Allen did not attend the ceremony but Diane Keaton accepted the award for him.

Allen married his adoptive daughter with Mia Farrow, Soon-Yi, and has been with her for 12 years. Allen has been accused of abusing his daughter, Dylan (who has since changed her name), when she was seven-years-old. The allegations have been going for years and the allegations flared up in a recent Vanity Fair article. See the tweets below.

Alyssa Milano Accepts Jay Mohr Apology For Fat Shaming Her

alyssa milano fat-shaming classy tweet

 

After a classy reply when Jay Mohr fat-shamed her, Alyssa Milano has now accepted his apology; Jay Mohr said in a radio interview in December 2013: “She was one of the presenters.. She’s very tiny. In height. It seems like she had a baby and said, ‘I don’t really give a s**t.’ I read it on her gut.”

He then mocked her for wearing spanks, saying:

“Somebody sat in the director’s chair and was not wearing Spanx and I was like, ‘Jesus Christ.’”

Alyssa tweeted:

 

After his apology Alyssa tweeted, “Thank you. Apology accepted (She grunts while aggressively yet cautiously prying off her head-to-toe Spanx). #PassTheCookies”

Jay wrote this apology on his blog:

“Knowing that Alyssa, as well as her family, friends, fans, and especially her husband, heard things that were hurtful from my mouth crushed me. Sometimes comedians go too far. I went too far. I cannot change what I said, but I can assure you that my heart is broken that I hurt her. I am very sorry.”

Alyssa is currently hosting Project Runway.

Inbound Marketing And SEO: Insights From The Moz Blog | Book Review

Inbound Marketing & SEO: Insights From The Moz Blog      , Rand Fishkin ,Thomas Høgenhaven, book, book review, SEO, I am sure some readers will have no idea what this book is about. Nor even care. But for those with blogs, online magazines, websites or digital companies, Inbound Marketing and SEO: Insights from the Moz Blog By Rand Fishkin and Thomas Høgenhaven is essential reading.

This excellent book didn’t only teach me a lot of stuff I didn’t know, it also taught me stuff I didn’t know that I didn’t know. That is not to say it made my head hurt with esoteric talk, as well as being knowledgeable it is also easy to read and the knowledge sinks in. I love the graphs too.

If you are in the digital media business I think you should buy this book, read it as quickly as possible and then reevaluate your business. Great business advice in a humourous and enjoyably written book. Brilliant stuff.

The Moz blog is the go-to place for the latest thinking on Search Engine Optimization, and Inbound Marketing and SEO: Insights From The Moz Blog is an anthology of some of the finest writing on this topic.

Search engine optimization (SEO) has been a growing area for many years but industry professionals now recognise that they require a broader set of competencies. In order for SEO to be successful, a wide range of marketing channels need to be covered. In response, Inbound Marketing and SEO is split into sections encapsulating: Channels of Online Marketing; Search Engine Optimization; Content Marketing; Social Media; Outreach; Conversion Rate Optimization; and Analytics.

Aimed at both new and experienced marketers within each of these six sub-disciplines, it primarily focuses on leveraging existing products such as Google, Bing, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as marketing platforms. While most of the book does not require advanced technical knowledge, it also contains articles which look at SEO from a more technical point of view – for example, focusing on how to implement schematic data in HTML or setting up advanced segments in Google Analytics.

Updating the The Moz blog’s most popular articles on the key SEO disciplines, this new title compiles them with brand new, purpose-written articles which are unavailable elsewhere.

Inbound Marketing & SEO: Insights From The Moz Blog is available here, Waterstones, WH Smith and wherever books and e-books are sold.
