Friends, I have bittersweet news for you. While I shall still be very much a part of the Splendicity family – you can find me at EBeautyDaily, ShopaholicsDaily, and the hair channel over there – this shall be my last Blistree Relationships post. The absolutely fabulous Kelli DesRochers will be taking my place, and she will have some fun contests coming up for you very soon – along, with, I’m sure, tons of fun relationship/sex chat! I, however, will be sure to comment all the time with updates on my own (nonexistent) love life. Speaking of my love life, I watched He’s Not That Into You last night…two times. (The beauties of In Demand cable!)  I realized, after the second watching, it actually ain’t all... [Read more]

I go through stages where – despite having tons of friends and nightly events – I feel incredibly alone. I sometimes wonder if it’s me being melodramatic, or if it’s accurate that while I have a lot of people in my life, and a lot of activities to share in, I have very few quality relationships. I am no one’s best friend. There’s no one who sees me as their great love. In general, I feel like I have a lot of acquaintances, a few friends, and literally no one that I can talk to about everything on my mind, and know I will get an open, non-judgmental ear. I want that so badly – but then I wonder, is that asking too much? I try to be that person to the people who are important to me. Am always there for... [Read more]

My BFFs and I are all poking around the world of online dating (to varying degrees). And, we are not alone – with meeting people on the outside becoming increasingly hard, everyone is dating online – except a lot of us don’t know how to do it best. My friends at Zoosk.com emailed recently with some great tips, I figured they were worth considering and chatting about! 1. Show what you are all about. The idea is to put yourself in the best light, but also to show your true personality. List your favorite songs instead of saying something like “I like alternative rock.” 2. Use spell check! Don’t type lyk u spended teh laste 10 yeers uv ur lyfe doin IM. Your computer has spell check. Use it. A sloppy profile reflects... [Read more]

My best friend tweeted today, telling me about an interesting experience she had on a road trip. Her friend and her were driving along a northeast highway when a trucker honked at them from the next lane. A transcript of her tweets. “Some man just drove past our car blowing kisses. Then he drove past with a sign, show me your boobs. Not even kidding.” “We gave him the finger. He deserved it!” Now, seriously – if there are any men reading this, help me out – why would you do this? Why do construction workers whistle? Do any of you think that acting in this way will make a woman actually be interested in you? Like really? Women may sometimes go for guys that don’t treat them very well, but there’s... [Read more]

I hung out with my parents this weekend. It’s really interesting how, when living with your parents, you are eager to get away from them, and then as soon as you move out, they become sort of…cool. Anyway, in another one of my blogs, I am running a contest where readers have to share their most romantic moment. My mom told my dad about it, and said she had wanted to enter, but couldn’t think of a romantic moment to share. They enjoyed a playful banter for the remainder of the day, where they each tried to conjure up a moment. The end result was that in thirty-two years of marriage, they had not had any moments. I think the truth is that they have a constant moment – this is a couple that after three decades, still eats... [Read more]
