<h1>Ever thought of achieving an ultimate sophisticated look in a much simple way?</h1>

Then revisit the black dress in your closet. It is what is needed to essentially complete a wardrobe. The black dress, to fashion critics, is a must have apparel in every lady’s closet and a safe way to make a statement.

Reasons why nothing beats a black dress:

Who needs  millions  to purchase a little black dress? Absolutely no one. It is relatively cheap and very accessible to the widest market possible. That certifies why fashion observers set a little black dress as a fashion rule.

The little black dress is all rounded, adaptable and versatile. There are no limitations to where and what to do with it. It is very flexible and can be worn to any occasion depending on how you rock it. You can wear it to the office by throwing a jacket on it, to a cocktail with a six inch heel and gold accessories which can garner attention and  to a funeral with a big straw hat complimented by black shades will make u stun.

Black is naturally a slimming colour. It has a way of making big people quite slimmer due to its dim tone. The little black dress can create a sexy look that shows your best assets.

Most a time it’s not what is worn that is criticized, it is rather the colour of the apparel that is mostly questioned. Fortunately, black is neutral colour that is universally accepted. It’s a safe colour to wear to any occasion without being tagged colour blind. So when next you are confused about what to wear to an event, look no further: revisit that little black dress or purchase one quickly to bring that dynamism in your closet.

<h1>To say the Selfie trend has caught on is an undertatement. There is nothing like capturing your best facial angle with your camera and and instantly share it on social media. How convenient!</h1>

To the selfie lovers, taking plenty of it can negatively affect your romantic life according to a survey published in <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0736585316300545" id="ade3e983-1f8d-522b-bb4f-e152ca6ed58d">Telematics and Informatics.</a>

The first negative effect is jealousy sparked by “excessive individual photo sharing or comments about those pictures”.

The second is “the emerging of an online ideal persona in the picture-taker’s mind that diverges from real life. These conflicts in turn reduce perceived quality of the romantic relationships"

305 adults from Chile  were selected for the survey over a two year period.

“The level of jealousy between romantic partners increased with the amount of selfies that were posted on social-media sites” and “photo-related conflicts as a result of posting selfies.”

It also concluded that the more one post selfies the “more likely it is that they are trying to create an idealized persona of themselves for social-media connections to see.”

Taking a selfie is not a harmless act after all. This research may just make sense to the selfie lovers who are having troubles in their love life.

This is why selfies are bad for your romantic life

Divorce used to be such a dreadful word in the past. But it is no longer in modern times. Maybe it's because clearly the world has become global so information on marriages and divorce travel and spread quickly,

Well American psychologist John Gottman has been examining relationships for four decades and has identified 3 key behaviors which can lead to divorce if not checked.

These things may seem trivial but people who have been through divorce can relate.

Ever head of the phrase “familiarity breeds contempt”?

One of the spouses will begin to disregard the other’s feelings in public. Downplay any contribution you make to any discussion in public and basically make you look stupid.

How to fix it: Anytime you feel the urge to disgrace your partner in public or privately put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how you would feel if you were put in the position. Next step is reminding yourself of how you fell in love with this person you are about.

Avoiding Conflict

How many of you have been told to walk away from an argument? It is not such a bad advice particularly when it gets so hot to the point of wanting to say something extremely hurting or hit your partner.  The other side of this advice is that you are likely to ignore not just the issue under discussion your partner and this could lead to more serious issues.

How to fix it:  Try to always come back to the issue and resolve it in a civilized manner. Do not run! If you don’t deal with it will rear its head in a future in a bigger form.

Defensive Behavior.

Enough of the justification and defensive behaviors. Aggressively defending yourself when criticized will end up hurting your marriage.

How to fix it: When you do something wrong, admit it and apologize in good time.

<h1>Being single is fun! Yes it is!  It is one of the best stages in life. You learn so much about yourself during during this period including self love.</h1>

Been single for a long time. Not that guys have not come my way, so many have  but they are just not what I want.

Mind you I am not being picky, I just don’t want to settle for just anything only  because I have to be in a relatuionshuip.

I hate that question! If you hate it too but at the same time struggle to find answers to such a question try these.

Answer 1 - "I am just lucky, I guess."

Let them know you are lucky to be single compared to the many women in bad relationships who wish they could get out but somehow can’t.

Answer 2- "I've been sort a busy nurturing a rewarding and fulfilling career."

There is this saying that, a good career can’t keep you warn at night. True but there is nothing more fulfilling when you know you are on the right career path and spending time to nurture and make it happen even bigger for you.

Answer 3 -"It was either this or a toxic relationship with my ex. Being single is a better option"

I would rather be the queen of the singles kingdom  than get a one way ticket to where all the demons go (referring to a bad relationship).

Answer 4 – “Are you going to set me up with Jesse William (you know Dr. Jackson Avery   of Grey’s Anatomy fame)? If not, then I am good.

This in effect means just mind your own business. If you cannot set me up with the man of my dreams then have several seats.

Answer 5 - “Independence and I are in a long term relationship and we are very happy”

There is this independence which comes with being single. You can basically do anything and not answer to anybody. You can go anywhere without wondering if someone will approve or not.

Many will die or give everything to be in your single state enjoy it whiles it lasts.

The only worse part about being single is the answers you have to come up with when you are asked the question "why are you still single?"
