A woman couldn’t figure out why her boyfriend was so upset with her and why their family Thanksgiving had gone so badly. To see if she was at fault, she went to Reddit.

Even though he had moved on from that relationship, his family members did not feel the same way. The mother of the woman’s boyfriend was devastated by the breakup with his childhood sweetheart. Since she had grown up with them, the older woman believed that the boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend was a member of their family.

Have you ever experienced a moment during a flight that you knew would stay with you forever? Well, let me share a story about a little boy named Johnny and a beautiful woman who sat next to him on a plane. As the plane soared through the sky, turbulence suddenly struck, sending the aircraft into a nosedive.

Turning to the woman beside him, Johnny mustered up the courage to confess, “Miss, I hate to trouble you, but I’ve never kissed anyone, and it seems like we might not have much time left.” The woman, taken aback by his innocence, realized that granting his wish might bring a small sliver of happiness during their final moments. So, she leaned in and passionately kissed Johnny, making his first kiss a truly unforgettable one. Feeling a wave of gratitude, Johnny couldn’t help but ask for more. Sheepishly, he said, “I know this may sound strange, but I’ve also never felt a bre@st, and I would regret not experiencing it before the end.” Surprisingly, the woman, touched… CONTINUE READING…

Whether green is your favorite color or you’re trying to conjure up some good luck, the perfect way to wear it with style is on your nails. Green nails have never been more popular and there are countless hues — like sage, olive, and forest — to choose from. “Green is a dominant color in nature, provoking feelings of growth and peace,” says nail artist Jaz Moger, who gravitates toward a rich matcha. After a tumultuous last few years, it makes sense that many are choosing the color for their manicures. Green can be worn with chrome finishes and embellishments, but if you’re looking for something subtle, Moger recommends a French tip or a simple dot of the color on a neutral base.

They work your brain, too, as you try to balance and coordinate the movements. And because dumbbells engage more muscles to balance the weight, they help build greater overall stability in the area of focus. Shoulder strength training can reduce your risk of injury by strengthening your core muscles, which makes you more stable and lessens imbalances. Good technique is always key, so we asked Andy Coggan, director of the Fitness Academy at Gold’s Gym, for tips and a few of his favorite shoulder exercises. Assess yourself Before beginning your shoulder strength training, you should assess your body and shoulders. “Start by keeping your arm by your side the entire time. Complete one full shoulder circle going front-to-back, and then another back-to-front,” Coggan says. “You want a good range of motion in this movement, without pain. If you experience any discomfort, talk to a Gold’s Gym trainer before starting these exercises.” Do shoulder workouts twice a week Doing shoulder exercises twice a week gives the muscles ample… CONTINUE READING…
