Bad Kisser

There is nothing like a good kiss to get you in the mood. The New Year is right around the corner.  Are you kissing midnight in with an old love, a new one or no one at all?  One thing for sure is that you don't want to kiss the New Year in with a bad kisser.











Some of the worst:


  • The Bad Breath Kisser ~ Oh no, he's coming in for the kill and you can smell his breath before his lips meet yours.  What to do?  Turn away, hold your breath, or just fake like you just got a major coughing spell.  I prefer the latter.  Excuse yourself, and come back with a cough drop and tell him you don't want him to catch your cold.  Clever, right.




  • The Wet One ~ Jeez, can someone please hand me a napkin or maybe a bib would be more apropos. I don't want a super dry kiss but I don't want to feel like I need that dental straw that sucks the saliva out of your mouth either. Just a little moisture is enough to get those juices flowing.




  • The Helicopter ~ Are we preparing for lift off?  His tongue is swirling around in your mouth like a helicopter propeller. All you can hope for is that the engine stalls so you can disengage.




  • The Locked Safe ~  What's the combination to getting this guys mouth to open?  Just pressed closed lips against mine. And we're not talking about a peck on the lips, this a full on frontal closed mouth kiss.  Dude, that's not sexy.




What are some of the worst kisses that you've had?




Happy New Year!

Surviving Your Relationship During the Holidays


Aww the Holidays.... 


We're past Thanksgiving and heading quickly in to Christmas.  But why do relationships seem to falter or end during the Holidays?  Here are a few reasons:


  • You are expecting too much ~ The food, family, decorations, and gifts, oh my! It can be overwhelming and stressful.  So think about scaling back. Instead of cooking an elaborate meal, go out to dinner with your family.  If you have a family member or friend who loves to decorate and wrap gifts, employ them to do that daunting task. If there is a particular gift that you want, ask it. Your significant other is not a mind reader, or you two can decide to give to a charity instead of each other.

  • The new year is right around the corner ~ This is the time when we take stock in our relationships, when we reflect on the years gone by. Have we wasted time? Do you see yourself with the same person going in to the next year? If not, this is when most of us move on, especially if things are not going well.

















To avoid a break up communicate your needs so that this time of year isn't stressful for the both of you.  This helps in avoiding setting yourselves up for disappointment.  Remember the holidays mean different things to different people.


If the end is inevitable, drink and eat yourself silly, pick up a new hobby or start a new exercise routine. Push right on through Valentine's Day and emerge in Spring a new you.

I Missed You!



Well Hello There!  Yes, we’ve been on this ride before. And yes, I’m hoping that you’ll ride with me again.  I’ve left you a couple of times not for lack of interest but because I’ve had to regroup and regenerate.  So here we are back again, and I hope not to leave you again.
I will continue to offer you sage and savory relationship advice with a side of sweet and a dose of tart.  And as always I’ll bring a healthy heaping of reality. 

 See you on the other side!
