Here with me, I’ve got 99 facts!

Guys don’t actually look after good-looking girls. they prefer neat and presentable girls.
Guys hate other flirts.
A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards.
When a guy says he doesn’t understand you, it simply means you’re not thinking the way he is.
Are you doing something?” or “Have you eaten already?” are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering.
Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
When a guy really likes you, he’ll disregard all your bad characteristics.
Guys go crazy over a girl’s smile.
Guys will do anything just to get the girl’s attention.
Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend.
When guys want to meet your parents. Let them. …….dont think so
Guys want to tell you many things but they can’t. And they have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and it is drinking! but do not generalise
Guys cry!!!
Don’t provoke the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will.
Guys can never dream and hope too much.
Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat.

Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
When a guy makes a prolonged “umm” or makes any excuses when you’re asking him to do you a favor, he’s actually saying that he doesn’t like you and he can’t lay down the card for you.

Play hard to get would one choice but not the top choice. One thing you cant do is rush into it. Dont tell him you love him on the first date or you want to marry him. Dont creep him out.

love message

Love is strong yet delicate
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.

The best and most beautiful things in the world can't be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.

Love is like sunshine. It brings a golden glow to its beholder's face. And a warm feeling all over their body. It awakens souls and opens eyes. And when its over, it leaves billions of small memories called stars. To remind the world, that it still exists.

When you love someone, it's something. When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you love the person who loves you back, it's everything.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return.

Send Flowers and Gifts

Love is like the wind you can see it but you can't feel it.

A love that is denied only goes stronger.

Love people, use things. Don't use people, don't love things.

Don't fall in love with someone you can live with, fall in love with someone you can't live without.

Love isn't finding the perfect person, it is finding the imperfect person and seeing how they are perfect.

If you love someone put their name in a circle not a heart because hearts can break but circles go on forever.

Don't settle for the one you can live with, wait for the one you can't live without.

Love is two hearts beating as one.

You know your in love when you can't stand being around that person, but when you leave you can't stand being away from them.

Love is when you don't want to go to sleep because reality is better than a dream.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Meeting you was fate, becoming you're friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control.

Romantic Ideas

2 hearts, 1 souls, 1 beat.

I looked at a flower and thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen till I met you.

When you love someone, it's something. When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you love the person who loves you back, it's everything.

Love; A very strong word. Use with extreme caution.

A life without love, is like a year without summer.

Faith makes all things possible. Hope makes all things work. Love makes all things beautiful.

Cosmo's covers are famous for featuring women with voluminous, bombshell hair. Here, Oscar Blandi, who's styled many Cosmo covers, explains how to get our signature strand effect.

STEP 1:Towel dry your hair then mist a leave-in conditioner on your ends followed by a volumizer all over. Flip your head over and start blow-drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp with your fingers, then dry the rest of your hair until it's slightly damp.

STEP 2: Bring your hair upright and wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once all your hair is set, blow-dry with a diffuser for 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on cool. Alternative options: Use large hot rollers or a curling iron but first make sure hair is 100 percent dry.

STEP 3: Remove the rollers, then mix a drop each of shine serum and light gel (the perfect combo for hold and shine) between your fingers, then run hands throughout your hair.

STEP 4: For an extra body boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head, Finish by finger-tousling your hair into a cascade of loose come-hither curls, and give your locks a light spritz with hair spray.

STEP 5: Major mane booster: chopsticks have a hidden use: They can give your hair loads of volume. Right after blow-drying, while your hair is still warm, twist it into a bun and slip the sticks through, says NYC salon owner Ted Gibson. Remove the sticks when your tresses have cooled and voilà — beautiful body.

Get the Hair You Want

These well-coiffed celebrities provide ample inspiration, showcasing the season's hottest hair looks. Read on for tips from the pros who created each stunning style.

By Caitlin Gaffey

Jennifer Lopez's Teased '60s Tresses

"This style is '60s inspired, but the vibe is more sophisticated than sex kitten," says Ken Paves, cocreator of Hairdo extensions and stylist behind Jennifer's Golden Globes hair.

Step one: "Blow-dry wet hair with a medium round brush," instructs Paves. If your hair doesn't easily hold a curl, apply gel or curling cream before drying. "Then, while your hair is still hot, take two-inch-wide sections and wrap each one around two fingers, creating smooth barrel curls." Anchor each new curl against the scalp with a bobby pin, and let it set for a few minutes. "Your hair should be cool before removing the pins," he notes.

Step two: "Brush hair through using your fingers," notes Paves. "To make the texture last, spray with a medium-hold hair spray." We like VO5 Quick Hold Fast Drying Hair Spray ($3.49). "If your hair is short or fine, attach a Hairdo 18-Inch Clip-in Wavy Extension [$95] to get the volume and texture for this look," he suggests.

Step three: "Take the side sections of hair (leaving the crown out), and pull them up, fastening tightly with an elastic on top of the head," he says. "Tease the remaining hair at the crown, and pull it back so that it covers the elastic. Secure in place with pins."

Step four: Finally, seal in shine and prevent flyaways with an antifrizz spray. To keep your style smooth all night, Paves recommends Kérastase Paris Vernis Nutri-Sculpt ($29).

LOSE WEIGHT
Yes, you can eat! Juice detoxes may be a fashionable way to lose weight quickly, but “an intelligent approach to streamlining your diet is just as effective,” says L.A. nutrition expert Jackie Keller, who works with Charlize Theron. “Plus, if you’re eating real food, you can think, exercise, and be around people while dieting.” Key guidelines:

Cut out alcohol, soda (carbonation causes bloating), chemical sweeteners (even those in gum, which may cause gas and cramps), white flour, excess salt, red meat, saturated fat, and processed foods. Limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day.

Replace refined carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, and sugar with whole-grain brown rice, oatmeal, or wheat bread. “Never cut out carbohydrates completely,” explains Keller. “If you don’t have a sustained energy source, your body will burn muscle for energy.”

Start drinking green tea and tossing dandelion greens into your salads. Both are natural diuretics. Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower can cause bloating, so nosh on asparagus, cucumbers, and celery instead.

Scale back. Portion size is key to weight loss. Try downsizing your dinnerware. Put the same portion of food onto a smaller plate, and you may feel more satisfied.

You Are What You Eat: Diet Tips for Every Age

Your complete guide to staying slim and healthy at every age. Plus, try out a virtual body makeover to see how you'd look if you lost or gained weight!

By Lauren Cohen

It's no secret that a diet of sweets and fried foods will lead to the dreaded muffin top. But what should you eat to keep trim and strong? What works for women in their 20s will not necessarily work for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Here, how to be healthy in each decade.

In Your 20s

"Your body is in build-up mode," says Ashley Koff, a dietician in Los Angeles. "Having a balanced eating routine will improve your weight and health."

Let go of your college ways. Still eating your first meal at 3:00 p.m.? Not a good idea if you're trying to lose weight. "Eating every three to four hours will maintain optimal metabolic efficiency," advises Stephen Gullo, president of New York's Center for Health and Weight Sciences. And forget about the drive-through. "You cut out extra salts, sugars, and preservatives when you cook at home," says Koff.

Eat right for energy. Bagels are convenient in a rush, but white, refined carbs metabolize quickly, causing blood sugar to spike and tumble down, explains Joy Bauer, a New York nutritionist and author of Slim & Scrumptious. She suggests whole grains coupled with protein for breakfast, as protein slows down the carbohydrate-absorption rate. And to keep your energy up during the day, eat greens like broccoli and spinach or drink green juices. "They have a tremendous energizing component," notes Koff.

Cut down on caffeine. You may have survived midterms with Red Bull, but caffeine causes the body to excrete calcium, which you need for bone density, says Koff. She suggests reducing your overall caffeine fix and switching to tea.

Watch your alcohol intake. Abstain from sugary mixes and drink wine, light beer, or hard liquor mixed with club soda in moderation. Warns Koff, "Be sure to hydrate not only with water but with water-based fruits and veggies and potassium-rich coconut water and avocado."

In Your 30s

You'll begin to notice the effects of aging on your body. "As your metabolism slows, you may find it hard to lose or maintain weight," says Mehmet Oz, vice chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University in New York.

Avoid mommy syndrome. "This means becoming a compactor for your children's leftovers or skipping meals because your needs come second now," notes Gullo. "Carry a Ziploc bag of GG Bran Crispbread, Laughing Cow light cheese, or a protein bar."

Enhance energy. Tired from balancing your kids, career, and social life? High-quality carbs and protein provide a prolonged energy effect, explains Bauer. Try to incorporate edamame, black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas into your snacks and meals.

Restore nutrients. During pregnancy, your stored nutrients become depleted. It's important to replenish with nutrient-dense healthy fats like almonds, flaxseed oil, olives, and nut butter.

Boost your metabolism. If you're having trouble dropping extra weight, Oz has a few tricks to help shed pounds: "Eating a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili pepper can temporarily boost your metabolic rate by 23 percent. Green tea is known to rev up your metabolism for a few hours. Digesting fish, a great source of protein, will burn twice as many calories as digesting fat or carbohydrates."

In Your 40s

"As you go into a perimenopause period and eventually reach menopause, estrogen levels start to decline and make you more prone to water retention," says Gullo. He adds, "Your metabolic efficiency will continue to decline."

Limit carbohydrates to beat bloating. "Every gram of a carbohydrate binds with three to five grams of water, which creates additional bloat," notes Gullo. "To minimize retention, focus your diet heavily on vegetables that are low in starch and high in fiber." Try mustard greens, asparagus, endive, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Don't crash diet. "Anything with short-term consequences won't help," says Koff. "Your body is losing elasticity and will not recover as well from constantly dropping and gaining weight."

Clear out estrogen. As you go through hormonal changes, it's important to properly metabolize hormones like estrogen to help prevent certain cancers. Koff recommends adding ground flaxseed and apples to your diet, as well as a balance of vegetable and animal proteins like tofu, beans, lentils, and wild fish.

In Your 50s

At this age, your risk for diseases increases. Experts agree that being mindful of your diet can help keep you healthy.

Help your heart. "Your risk of having cardiovascular disease goes up to almost 40 percent," warns Oz. Adds Koff, "After menopause, women carry more weight in their abdomen, which affects the heart. Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins play a key role in heart health." Try wild fish, soybeans, whole grains, and broccoli.

Battle breast cancer. "About 75 percent of cases occur in women 50 or older," says Oz. "Limit alcohol to less than one drink a day and fat intake to less than 35 percent of your daily calories, and restrict foods high in saturated fat. There is a clear link between obesity and breast cancer."

Add antioxidants. Your body is gradually slowing down, so keep it strong with cancer-fighting antioxidants found in berries and beans.

"This is where you will reap the benefits of a life well lived," says Oz. But it's never too late to start. "Within three months of shifting your lifestyle, your survival curve shifts to a new level."

Eat meals more often. "Spreading three meals out into five or six can reduce the stress of eating on your body and keep your metabolism from being overworked," explains Oz.

Fill up on fruits and veggies. Look for ones high in vitamins C and E, which can lower your risk for Alzheimer's disease, notes Oz. Try citrus fruits, broccoli, tomatoes, chard, and mustard greens.

Strengthen your immune system. "Aging can cause you to become immunocompromised," explains Koff. Shiitake mushrooms, wild salmon, and vitamin D supplements help support your system.

Ease aches. "Foods that reduce inflammation will help ease pain," says Bauer. Try pure pumpkin (not the pie mix), red bell peppers, turmeric, and ginger.

Eat less, live longer? "We certainly have some interesting research to back up this theory, but the quality of life is important too," says Bauer. Adds Gullo, "If you're 'food smart,' you can eat more and still consume fewer calories. For example, most fish has fewer calories and fat per ounce than beef." He also explains that some studies suggest that resveratrol supplements may mimic the results of a calorie-restricted diet to enhance longevity.
