So here’s the thing, here in the US, every April 15th, we’re all forced to pay our share back in taxes.  Knowing what a dreaded task chore this can be for so many of us, many businesses offer up their own version of “tax relief”. I love how this year, some of the companies are extending their deals beyond early morning.

We hope this helps lesson the pain.

Lisa Steadman knows how to help women get over Mr Wrong and move on to find Mr Right.  In light of the Valentine’s season, we thought we’d let her answer a few questions about finding your own Prince Charming.

What keeps single women stuck and unable to meet great men?

Because our beliefs create our reality, when you believe there are no good men out there, you won’t find any. If you think the love of your life got away, and that you will never meet anybody as interesting and amazing as your ex, you’re right. You won’t. See, our subconscious is so committed to being right, it’s going to show us how right it is – by delivering those disappointing results we believe to be true. However, when you shift your thinking, you realize that it’s better to be happy than right. And in order to be happy, it’s time to let go of the idea that your happily ever after is in your past, and celebrate the fact that it’s in your future with someone new.

How can single women learn from past relationships without feeling like failures or losers at love?

For any woman out there who’s feeling bad about herself because she’s had her fair share of relationships and breakups, it’s once again time to shift your thinking. We’re not relationship failures. Our love lives have been karmically eventful. Thank God! If we never got our heart broken, if we never risked big and lost big, if we stayed in the first relationship we ever got into regardless of compatibility and shared values, would we learn anything? Life is messy, and the sooner we celebrate that – and the lessons that go along with it – the sooner we’ll fall madly in love with ourselves and our lives and that’s the key to attracting great men and eventually the love of our lives.

In your book, you make the important distinction between dating disappointment and actual heartbreak. Can you elaborate?

I work with so many smart, successful, savvy women who often mistake disappointment on the dating scene for heartbreak. The problem is that they end up wasting valuable time and energy nursing what they think is a broken heart, but is actually just a bruised ego. When you embrace the idea that dating disappointment isn’t heartbreak and instead is just a natural reaction to unmet expectations, you can create more realistic expectations, cut down on wasted time and energy, and meet Mr. Next more quickly, eventually calling in Mr. Right.

What are some tell tale signs women can look out for to differentiate between Mr. Next and Mr. Right?

On the road to happily ever after, you’ll meet and date lots of Mr. Nexts. Your job is to get to know these guys for who they are, and clearly see how they match up with your relationship requirements. Mr. Next can be fun, funny, and fabulous, but as soon as he reveals himself to be someone who doesn’t match up with your long term goals and requirements, you must let go and move on. Now, Mr. Right can also be fun, funny, and fabulous, AND he also takes an interest in you, celebrates who you are, and shares your common values. When you meet him, you’ll know. And that’s fabulous!

This funny and amusingly offensive mockumentary series centers around the world of children’s beauty pageants (the “Miss Stars Eyes Pagaent” to be precise).  The setup goes like this: Michael Champagne (Sam Pancake) is the very proud, if not a little “swishy” father to Annette (Stacy McQueen), our little pageant princess (who happens to be played by an adult).  Michale is married to Ribina (Dee Freeman), the professional smoker that supports the family, who is fooling around every chance she gets with Michael’s brother, Ethan (Troy Conrad).  Whew.

It’s written and directed by Steve Silverman, who says, “It’s ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ meets ‘Reno 911′ meets everything that’s politically incorrect, but just a whole heck of a lot of fun to say out loud in the world today.”

The laughs (and the series) officially launches today, February 1st.  But episodes can be pulled up online all day everyday at their website, www.prettytheseries.com.

Here’s the official trailer to tease you a little…

Until now, the solution had always been, of course, to strip off the gloves, do what you need to do until your hands begin to go numb from cold, and then put the gloves back on. Always repeating as necessary.

Now you can keep your gear on and perform feats of manual dexterity with Freehands gloves. The gloves themselves are very warm and cozy, but the pointer and thumb tips fold back to allow you a little fingertip freedom. Like the name implies, your fingertips are free to do the things you do without gloves, but while wearing them. And the caps are magnetically secured, so you don’t have to worry about them popping open when you don’t want them to. The glove backs are wind- and waterproof, and the palms have a palm patch for extra grip.

If you’re ready to hit the slopes (or even somewhere more pedestrian) and would like to sport a pair of these warm and useful gloves – you’re in luck. We have two pairs to give away to our lucky readers, you choose the Men’s or Women’s size. These Freehands, along with other cute and functional gloves, can be found at the company’s website (check out the red cashmere for Valentine’s Day!).

Hard to believe that bubble wrap was created back in 1960 and was thought to be used as a “trendy new textured wallpapers.”

So in the spirit of Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, pop a few in their honor.
