How Do You Feel About Your Husband Wearing Makeup?

So, has society evolved enough to accept men wearing makeup?

Well, if you’re against a man putting on a fresh face maybe you should reconsider
Men have been wearing cosmetics since the Egyptians found that Kohl could help deflect the heat of the sun from their faces in the blistering heat.

Fast forward to current day you have to admit, there are just as many vain men out there as women. I come from a Profession where vanity was a huge part of my life. Owning a salon for 27 years made me understand that vanity comes in all sexes…

If you don’t think that men are just as nervous before going out on a date for the first time as a woman is you’re mistaken. Although sometimes a man’s intentions may be different as far a where he wants the evening to go there is still a common thread between he and his date. That thread is to look as dashing and handsome for his date as he possibly can.

Men want to look nice and now they are turning to traditional female products to find ways to look better.

Guys are getting into makeup and grooming more than ever. Last year, men spent over $2.5 billion on skincare and cosmetics. And more than $5 billion was spent on men’s  grooming products in the United States in 2013, more than double the $2.4 billion the guys spent back in 1997.

A man’s routine although different that a woman’s still consists of making sure that all of his features are up to par. For instance, his eyebrow hairs are cut with no 2″ long hairs coming out, his nose hairs are groomed and cut so nothing is protruding, his ear hairs are cut and let’s not forget his skin… Often time a man will have some sort of blemish or mark on this face that has to be attended to before his big night out so I’m saying there’s nothing wrong with putting a little concealer and matching blush on to hide his imperfections to finish off his look. Motives Cosmetics gives you that perfect look that otherwise make for an imperfect look.

So before you say NO to makeup on a man, just remember that any one of your idol’s wear some sort of makeup. From television celebrities, movie stars, news anchors to you just wanting to look your best. It doesn’t make you any less of a man because you wear makeup. In fact, the more appealing you are as a man the more appealing you are to someone looking at you.

Makeup has no sex. The days of being embarrassed about a man wearing makeup are over. We have evolved…

5 Things She Would Never Expect

As I have followed my path in life I realize more and more that I am an Alien.

Women often say that I am every woman’s dream and every mans nightmare. It’s something I never thought twice about until I started posting articles about things I do to enhance my relationship with my wife.

I’ll never forget, there was a party my neighbor had and I was talking to another neighbor and I mentioned something I had done for my wife. He was astounded and said you do that for your wife??? My answer was yes it keeps the spark in our marriage. Remember why you married your spouse in the first place. Why should that change, why should the spark and romance be any different that it was when you met.

So, here are 6 things you can do that she would never expect and maintain the spark and romance in your relationship.

Guy’s, please understand that I do this out of LOVE and not  (what’s in it for me). Trust me you will loose EVERYTHING if you expect anything other than an amazing feeling of selflessness.

Go to a party store and buy a balloon that says “I Love You” for no reason. Attach it to the mirror of her car without her knowing that you did it. Trust me, the element of surprise is worth a 1000 words…

So, this is great, get up a 1/2 hour earlier and make her morning coffee. It doesn’t have to be this huge project just a caring gesture… Here’s a hint, add some cinnamon in the grinds before it brews… I promise it will be a special morning.

Totally unexpected suprises are an incredible sign of how much you care and truly one she would never expect…

It doesn’t matter what it is but the element of surprise is priceless. Purchase her favorite perfume and attach a little note that just says I Love You… Nothing fancy but amazingly effective. Hide it in plain site in a cabinet you know she will open during the course of the day.

This is one of my favorites… Light her Fire in July… This is awesome, in the heat of summer crank the A/C up and light a fire.

Pick out your favorite beverage that you will both enjoy. When she comes home, greet her, kiss her and blindfold her. Gently take her hand and lead her into the room with the fireplace… Magic…

This is not Rocket Science. This is keeping a relationship alive for you and your significant other. It doesn’t take anything but common sense and a renewed feeling for the one you love.

I know there are many temptation out there but remember when you met your partner there was a reason why you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them and it wasn’t to cheat on them.

I hope this was helpful for you all…

The best thing you have is right next to you…

 

 

My Journey To Change My Wife

Let’s face it, we all have fantasies.

As we mature we have these theories of how our perfect relationship should be, but what we perceive doesn’t always become a reality.

I want to preface this by saying that I have been married for 35 incredible years and looking back at who I was and who I am today I’m glad things turned out the way they did, otherwise I feel that today I would either be divorced or the unhappiest man in the world.

When I first saw my wife I fell in love immediately with her beauty. I would say that’s pretty much what 100% of us fall for first. But unlike so many other women I had dated in the past I saw something different. I saw not only beauty but someone who was genuine, pure, honest and caring. These were traits I hadn’t encountered before in other women, at least not all in one package.

They say opposites attract and I must say that we were the most unlikely couple to ever be together, let alone be married.

As we moved forward in our relationship I had certain fantasies about how I like to see my wife and was pretty relentless in doing things to change my wife into who I wanted her to be.

Every time I would bring something home that was provocative or not quite appropriate in her eyes she would very politely say that it just wasn’t her and didn’t feel comfortable. I, being the gentleman I am, always submitted and backed down realizing that I was doing this for me, not her and realized how selfish that was.

I will Never Change My Wife!!!

As our years of marriage progressed and we learned more about each other it made me realize how trivial it was  to try to change my wife into something she’s not. What she is and always will be is an incredible wife, mother, lover, friend and soul mate to my heart only.

In the world today where there is a 60%+ divorce rate it makes not sense to me why couples no matter how young, old, gay, straight, black, white or integrated can’t look at each other and compromise on what’s important to both of you, not just one of you.

So next time you want to change your wife, take a step back and see if maybe it’s you that should change, because she’s just fine the way she is.
