Today's Obsessions

Posted: 18 May 2010 07:51 AM PDT

I love my boyfriend. He's caring, sexy and amazing, and he makes me feel great, too. But while it's common knowledge how to make women feel good (be honest, flowers and chocolate are probably never going to fail…), it's much harder working out how to make him feel loved. I've been reading books and quizzing the experts, and here's my top 10 ways to make him feel loved…

1. Make Him Feel Masculine

My boyfriend empties the bin. I could do it, but I don't, I always ask him. Why? It's a man’s job, and he is the man. He likes feeling needed, and although he sometimes grumbles, he likes having the responsibility. It makes him feel like a man, and it makes him feel like you need him which in turn gives him an ego boost which men love. That’s just something you can’t change about them.

2. Flirt

Give him a kiss in an elevator, flirt while making tea, or in the supermarket, show him you are still attracted to him, and make him feel special. He'll really appreciate it, and flirting will make you feel hot, too!

3. Compliments

Compliment him on things you love about him. Tell him you love his lasagne, his ears or his gorgeous smile. Tell him that when he chases the kids he looks gorgeous. Whatever it is that you like, tell him. He'll feel great, and you will too.

Whether you're looking for a special occasion dress for your princess, or back to school jeans for your little man, you'll need a few places to shop for kid's clothes that you know you can depend on! They have to have cute clothes in the right sizes at reasonable prices, and even better, frequent shopper rewards or at least an e-mail newsletter with special deals! Not sure which children's clothing stores have these perks? I can help! Here's my list of the best places to buy cute kid's clothes…

1. Janie and Jack

Janie and Jack specialize in adorable clothes and accessories for babies and little girls and boys up to eight years. They only have a few select stores in 32 states, but you can shop online, anywhere around the world! They offer exclusive deals and special event announcements via a free e-mail newsletter, and they also offer monogramming on some of their baby items, like hooded towels, bibs, and onesies which make great gifts for a baby girl or boy!

2. Crazy 8

This is hands-down my daughter's favorite place to shop! They have fashions for boys and girls, sizes from newborn to size 14, and we love their Crazy Cash, giving you $20 on every $40 you spend! If you choose to buy online, you can ship your entire order for only $5, too! They also offer a free e-mail newsletter with great deals and alerts on upcoming sales and specials.

3. Gymboree

If you love easy coordinating outfits for your little girl or boy, sizes newborn to 12, then this is the store for you! I love how all of their items match with each other, kind of like a store full of fashionable Garanimals. They also offer a free Gymboree rewards card, free e-mail newsletter, and $5 shipping on all online orders. If you want to save 5% on all of your Gymboree purchases, even on sale items, then use your Gymboree Visa card… you can apply right on the Gymboree website.

Here, you might still have a good sex life and you may not. However, spending time with your partner is starting to feel more like a chore. If spending time alone, going on dates with your husband or wife is something you dread, then it may be time to move up for parole.

9. Are you comparing your partner to others?

While it’s okay to occasionally look at someone else and wish that your partner would possess some quality that you admire in the other person, too much comparing could spell bad news. If you find yourself constantly finding other men appealing and constantly wishing your partner would change certain things, maybe it’s a sign that your relationship is on rocky ground.
