Once a Princess, Always a Princess

Once a Princess, Always a Princess

Entertainment, Love
“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses.” – Frances Hodgson Burnett. We often see princes and princesses in various forms of media around us; they can be seen in books, movies, television, and even talked about in the news. Usually, princes and princesses are associated with the concept of royalty, power, and elegance. As we have seen in typical Disney movies, princesses are beautiful, kind, brave, and free-spirited.

When to Say ‘I Love You’: Is It Time?

When to Say ‘I Love You’: Is It Time?

Love
It’s a short sentence with a long-lasting impact: “I love you.” In any new relationship, those three little words sit anxiously on the back of your tongue, just waiting to be unleashed. So, when is the best time to do it? Are there unspoken rules? Or do we just let it rip? The short answer: it depends. Every relationship is different, so it’s important to gauge its progress. That said, there are a few exciting signs that it might be time to drop the L-bomb: You Are Comfortable Together   You’re far past the honeymoon phase, lounging around at each other’s places, binging Netflix (without the chill), and checking out moles on each other’s backs. (Does that look weird to you?!) You’re happy and boring together, and you’re totally in love…

How To Plan the Perfect Wedding on a Budget

Life, Love
The wedding cost can literally cast a shadow over the engagement bliss. However, it’s completely possible to throw a budget-friendly wedding that’s beautiful, stylish, memorable and affordable. 1. Cost of a Wedding The average cost of a wedding is more than a down payment on a great home. From paying for the venue to the cost of make-up and the dress for the bride, the dollars are just flying out of the bank accounts. There's no shortage of parts to a wedding, and many of them can really pop a dent in the wallet. The Knot has provided some averages back in 2017. Starting from the highest, the venue’s average cost is about $16,000. It is followed by the music band at around $4,000. The florist, the ceremony site, the videographer and…

How I Starting Dating Someone That Spoke a Different Language

How I Starting Dating Someone That Spoke a Different Language

Love
Imagine not being able to understand what someone else was saying? Now imagine if that person was someone you were dating. Well, for me that was a reality several years ago. I had met someone at a coffee shop and we did not speak the same language. We communicated with hand gestures and Google translate. Somehow we each left with the others Instagram and WhatsApp contact information. That quickly led to texts and messages back and forth that were 95% emojis. It was a wild experience and nothing I would have ever imagined I would have done but it was an amazing experience. I figured it might be something that would be of interest to some so I decided to blog about my experience. Had to Know Potential Existed It…
