I read somewhere that habits can be categorized into three: good habits, bad habits and habits that do not matter. For example, it considered a good habit to take a bath or to shower daily while the opposite becomes a bad one. But whether you do it in the morning or in the evening does not really matter. We were not born with our habits but rather we learned them. The formation of our habits can be attributed to several factors. Read the rest of this entry »

Not only does this allow for some individuality, but it can also improve the chances that your bridesmaids will like and wear their dresses again.

If you don’t want all bridesmaids to dress alike, ask each to select her own style of dress in the same color family. To accommodate their various heights and weights, consider choosing dresses that are similar but not identical in style, a sleeveless dress for the friends with toned arms; one with sleeves for those who prefer to be covered up. The dresses should be in the same fabric and color, and from the same manufacturer.

Teaching social manners to children is not easy. It is also cannot be done overnight. Social manners in children, especially the very young ones, are admirable virtues. Respectfulness in youngsters almost always reflects good family background. Parents should start teaching the basic social etiquette to their children at a young age.

Here are some suggestions on how to mold the children with right conduct:

1. Parents should be the role models. Children are natural imitators. They always try to emulate what the adults around them do and say.

2. Respect should be earned. Treat your children with respect, so that they will respect you, too.

3. As early as 3 to 4 years old, children should be taught not to interrupt conversations by adult.

4. Tell your children to address the adults with the right title, not by first names. Otherwise, children would start looking at all adults as their playmates, who can be treated casually.

5. Do not let the children throw tantrums whenever and wherever they want. If they were asking for something prohibited, do not give in when they start losing their temper, especially in public.

6. Scold your children in private so that they will retain their self-respect even when they’re being dressed down for showing bad manners, or throwing a noisy tantrum.

7. Parents should be tireless and patient on teaching children. They should be repetitive so that the basic rules of social etiquette are imprinted on the minds and hearts of their children, especially when they are having constant interaction with playmates that do not have nice manners.

8. Praise every good deed to give inspiration. Children are always eager to please their parents.

You must teach different skills one at a time. When it is time for the children to go to parties, they should be taught some table manners so that they will know how to eat properly in front of other people.

Before you allow the children to answer the telephone, they must know how to speak respectfully and must learn the right words to say or ask. Do not forget to teach them how to jot down the messages on a notebook beside the telephone. This task is for the older children.

Are you one of those guys who still have to save enough courage just to ask a girl for a date? And who are also unlucky to not have a chance for a second or a third date? You must be wondering why most of your men friends have found steady girlfriends and you still haven’t when you’re also an eligible bachelor yourself.

Here are 5 dating tips to help bachelors secure a steady date:

1. Watch out where your eyes land on every time you look at your date. The low V-neck of her evening dress is not an excuse or a ready license for your eyes to always dive into her deep cleavage. Cast an admiring glance once in a while. Staring on other parts of her anatomy, rather than into her eyes, is considered as ogling and leering. According to mothers, staring is rude. Your date will surely think that, too, so she may punish your rudeness by stomping her foot on your toes or,  worse, by slapping you on your face. Even a no-brainer will realize at once that your first date will also be your last. To be always on the safe side, talk to her eyes throughout the evening.

2. Don’t forget to bring your manners to the restaurant table. Use the correct utensils for eating. Cut the food into bite-size with the dining knife. Use the fork or spoon to transport food into your mouth. Chew your food like you’re savoring the taste. Swallow what you’re eating first before you talk. These are basic table manners that you’ve been taught as a child.

3. Be meticulous on your appearance not on the food you order and eat. Have you trimmed everything that should be trimmed like the nose hair peeking from your nostrils, your finger nails, your moustache, and also your toe nails. Toe nails on a first date? Yeah. Some girls judge a guy’s neatness through clean toe nails. You don’t have to have a pedicure with nail polish. Just cutting and brushing them with an old toothbrush are enough to perk up a neat girl’s interest. Do not forget to brush your teeth, of course, and a good scrub all over. Smelling fresh and looking clean can get you a rate of 10 and secure a second date, or a third, or a fourth…

4. Punctuality is next to sincerity. You turn up to a job interview on time because you want to give a good impression. Consider the first date with a girl as an interview; and you’re also showing her that you really like her. When a guy is punctual, a girl will think him as a reliable, stable, and organized individual–a perfect boyfriend material, indeed.

5. Leave your freshness at home. Fresh appearance is fine, but not the fresh behavior. Do not expect to get invited inside a girl’s home for a cup of coffee on your first or second date. This also goes for a goodnight kiss. You can show your ardent interest by sending flowers the next day or a simple ‘thank you’ e-card by email.
