According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 219,000 cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed on people ages 13 to 19 in 2010. That’s a pretty big number and raises the question — how young is too young for plastic surgery? Of course, I’m not a medical professional.

And you’re sick of straightening your hair. And you can only get your makeup done for free at the Mac counter so many times before they catch on.

Even though I’m in the business of love, I think it’s important to dress like a powerhouse. I love my business, and I want to represent it well — I want to be taken seriously in my workplace, but I also want to show my personality because god knows I have a lot of it! I totally believe you can change your mood by dressing for the best, and I’ve found a nice balance of clothes that portray me as a successful entrepreneur and still give me the sexy edge a working woman deserves.
Here’s some of my fave brands that get the job done:
My business is about two people finding love with each other, but I’m just as passionate about finding love within yourself. I know, cheese alert. But it’s true. Every woman is a strong, powerful, sexy goddess and she should feel like it.

Summer dates can take you everywhere from romantic boat rides that get the juices flowing to mini golf, outdoor weddings and events, or festivals. Maybe you and your hubby are going on a couples-only vacation to spice things up again.
