HYDRATE TO RADIATE: Kolaborasi Sociolla x Aqua Reflections untuk Pancarkan Kecantikan Alamimu.

2020-12-18T13:53:00.003+07:00

Akhir – akhir ini kesadaran akan kulit yang sehat semakin meningkat. Setiap orang ingin glowing up dan memiliki glass skin, tekstur kulit yang halus dengan warna kulit merata dan berkilau. Dengan meningkatnya trend ini, semakin banyak skincare yang menawarkan manfaat hidrasi kulit untuk melembabkan dan menjaga kilau sehat wajah kita, tentunya juga disesuaikan dengan jenis kulit dan usia konsumen. Kendati demikian, skincare saja tidak cukup teman-teman. Kita juga perlu merawat kulit dari dalam, salah satunya ialah menghidrasi kulit dengan minum air yang secukupnya.

Banyak manfaat yang kita dapatkan dengan minum minimal 2 liter air per hari, bukan hanya di luaran saja namun juga di lapisan dalam. Kondisi tubuh yang terhidrasi dengan baik akan membawa manfaat bagi fisiologi kulit, diantaranya meningkatkan elastisitas kulit, mencegah keriput dan memperbaiki tekstur kulit. Tentunya sumber air yang berbeda akan membawa hasil yang berbeda juga.

Saya dan keluarga selalu minum Aqua karena kami yakin Aqua memiliki kemurnian sumber tunggal dan mengandung mineral seimbang serta berkualitas tinggi yang bersumber dari keseimbangan ekosistem yang dilindungi. Sociolla bekerjasama dengan Aqua telah merangkum semua skincare yang direkomendasikan dalam satu kolaborasi Sociolla x Aqua Reflections yang bertajuk “Hydration All The Way, Inside and Outside".

Melalui postingan ini, saya akan share beberapa produk dari rangkaian koleksi Sociolla x Aqua Reflections yang saya dapatkan.

Botol spesial kolaborasi Sociolla x Aqua Reflections

Aqua, air minum yang berasal dari satu sumber air yang terlindungi, dikemas dalam sebuah botol spesial. Memiliki design cantik dengan ciri khas sociolla, saya suka dengan detail kecil berwarna pink bertuliskan XOXO di sekitar tulisan Aqua Reflections. Motif tersebut terinspirasi dari simbol "Batik Kawung" yang dipercaya memiliki makna sebagai “Hati yang Murni”.

Nama "Kawung" berasal dari buah kawung atau teman-teman lebih akrab dengan nama buah kolang-kaling. Jika teman-teman perhatikan, buah kolang kaling memiliki kulit yang keras, namun daging buahnya sendiri berwarna putih. Dari sinilah filosofi “hati yang murni” berasal.

Pembersih wajah ini diformulasikan dengan Micro Hyaluronic Acid dan Moringa Seed yang berfungsi mengangkat residu dan kotoran pada wajah dan membantu mengembalikan kondisi kulit sehat.

RINGAN TAPI BISA BUAT KONDANGAN? | LANEIGE WATER SUPREME REVIEW

2020-12-02T10:24:00.000+07:00

Hai haii... Masih hari Rabu nihh, teman-teman masih semangat kann?

Kali ini aku mau share tentang rangkaian Laneige Water Supreme Gift Set yang aku pakai di video yang aku posting di instagramku minggu lalu teman-teman. Karena banyak yang suka lipgloss dan foundationnya, aku sekalian aja yah review ketiga produknya.

Jadi aku dapat gift set ini karena beli beberapa produk Laneige di Sephora. Waktu itu ada promo belanja produk tertentu dan dapat gift set ini. Aku jadi tergoda dong karena pengen nyoba, kalau cocok kan bisa beli full sizenya. Bukan begitu? Heheh

Nah Laneige Water Supreme Make Up Gift 3 ini berisi:

❄️𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗣𝗙𝟭𝟱 𝗣𝗔+ (𝟲𝟬 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻)

Primer ini teksturnya cair dan lembut. Penggunaan sedikit saja bisa menutup banyak permukaan. Ada efek glowing yang ditimbulkan saat pemakaian. Wajah jadi terlihat lebih radiant dan lembab. Formulanya ringan dan membuat wajah terlihat lebih cerah.

❄️𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗣𝗙 𝟭𝟱 𝗣𝗔+ (𝟮𝟭 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗲)

Hampir sama dengan base primernya, foundation ini cair namun coveragenya sangat baik. Teman-teman dapat melihat di foto ya, kalau urat di tanganku tertutup dengan baik saat foundationnya dibaurkan, ataupun setelah aku gosok dengan air. Kendati demikian, foundation ini sangat ringan sehingga tidak terasa ada sesuatu yang menutupi wajahku. Mudah sekali dibaurkan di wajah karena teksturnya yang cair. Cepat meresap dan wajah tetap lembab.

❄️𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗽𝗴𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 (𝗟𝗥 𝟭𝟬𝟳 𝗩𝗲𝗶𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲)

Bisa dibilang kalau lip gloss ini jadi salah satu lip gloss favorit aku, selain karena warnanya, dia juga tidak menimbulkan gatal di bibir. Cairannya kental dan padat namun ringan di bibir.

Secara keseluruhan, aku suka dengan ketiganya karena formulanya yang sangat ringan namun memberikan efek yang sangat baik dari segi coverage dan tekstur di wajah dan bibir. Untuk primer dan foundationnya, aku coba gosok-gosok dengan air 10x , glowingnya memang hilang, tapi coverage dan kelembabannya masih stay. Kaget banget, tapi itu yang bikin aku makin suka sama Laneige. Recommended? Banget. Bakal beli full sizenya? Yes.

Ada yang sudah pernah coba produk ini? Share yuk di komentar.

Best regards,

Tips Make Up

2015-11-25T04:24:00.001+07:00

Kemarin ditanya sama salah seorang teman, “Ka, aku pengen belajar make up, tapi aku orangnya nggak pede kalau menor-menor. Ajarin dong cara make up yang nggak menor.”

Nah, saya luruskan dulu bahwa make up itu sebenarnya nggak perlu menor kok teman-teman, kan disesuaikan dengan kegiatan kita.

Kalau saya jalan-jalan sama suami atau semasa kerja dulu biasanya cuma make up sederhana. Berikut yang biasa saya lakukan:

Mengoleskan krim pagi untuk melembabkan kulit wajah. Ada juga krim yang selain melembabkan juga mengandung SPF agar melindungi kulit dari sinar matahari. Terkadang saya menggunakan foundation saat ada event, agar make up lebih merata dan tahan lama.
Menaburkan bedak ke wajah. Biasanya untuk bekerja atau jalan santai, saya menggunakan bedak tabur agar efek ke wajah tidak terlalu berat.
Menggambar alis dan garis mata. Karena mata saya tergolong sipit, maka saya menyiasatinya dengan menggunakan eye liner untuk membentuk garis mata yang lebih lebar.
Menggunakan blush on tipis-tipis untuk siang hari.
Menggunakan lipstick yang tidak terlalu menyala untuk siang hari. BIasa menggunakan warna yang setingkat lebih gelap atau lebih terang dari bibir, agar tampak natural.

Buat saya pribadi, butuh beberapa waktu, hingga saat ini, untuk menggambar alis yang sama antara kanan dan kiri heheh, namun seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, jika terus berlatih, saya yakin semua pasti bisa menggambar alis sesuai bentuk wajah masing masing.

Akhir kata, semua wanita cantik, walaupun tanpa make up. Namun tidak ad salahnya juga jika ingin tampil sedikit ekstra :)

Sekian tips make up natural sehari-hari dari saya. Yuk diskusi bagaimana pendapat teman teman tentang make up?

God is The Only One

2013-06-17T09:25:00.001+07:00

This morning, I was full with all feeling. I even came up with a new condition in which I feel like I'm going to fall. I took a very silent moment and pray in my heart. I didn't want to fall in the same mistakes. Then I got this in my mind. I want to share it to you, hoping that you'll be blessed by it too.

No matter how you feel, no matter what and how you say it, no matter what you do, God is the only one who understand what's deep in your heart. He will not disappoint you.

Don't depend on human, they will hurt you. Don't expect more in human, because in some way, they will ignore you.

Give your heart to Him, because He is the one who loves you so much. His love will take a good care of your heart. He will not play with your heart.

Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."

He is loyal. He keeps His promises.

Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments."

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Keep the joy my friends. The best is yet to come.

Gardening is Mom's Best Friend

2013-04-12T07:57:00.001+07:00

Hello friends!! It’s been couple of weeks since my last post. I’ve been busy with my job and other things - as usual. The weather here is not so nice. Sometimes it’s hot and sometimes it’s cold. Thankfully, my family and I still have good days and continue to enjoy good health.

Some of you might have known that my canopy has been broken since the last storm that hit our village. We still haven't had a chance to replace it with the new one since the weather hasn’t improved yet. But my mom’s hobby can’t wait! She loves cooking and gardening. As we often hear the phrase “Like mother like daughter”, I too love cooking and gardening just like she does. But the problem is, when some things happen that are out of our control, for example the bad weather, I stopped.

Things are different with my mom. She keeps on maintaining her small garden on the terrace under her canopy, even with the unstable weather. But, eager to help my mom, I read books about gardening and browse around too. Hopefully we could manage it well soon.

Well, I guess that’s a short update from me. I have another meeting to go to. So, until we meet again. Keep the joy!!

regards,

Gentle Tongue

2013-03-22T19:13:00.001+07:00

"A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit." ~Proverb 15:4

Amen!

Today I learn that human is so fragile. Sometimes they are kind and sometimes they are evil. I sometimes become one of them who don't know where to stand. But I know how to be loyal to the people I call "friend".

Experience is the best teacher. Yes it is. Today I realize that you should pay more attention to what you said. Your words might not hurt directly to the people but what you said to the others may hurt your friend indirectly, whether you realize it or not.

Feeling betrayed by my friend, I started to think whether I do the same thing to my friend or not. The anger in my heart suddenly fade away when I realize that we are only human. We live in this flesh and we are all a sinner. We are all the same.

So, let us pray every day to the Lord, ask Him to rescue us from all deceitful tongues. As the Bible said in Psalm 120:2, "Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues". Let the Lord take control of our lips and let Him guard our heart from evil.

God bless you all.

Effective ways to get feedback on your blog

2012-07-03T18:41:00.001+07:00

Most of us have blog and love to write on it, but not all of us could attract people to visit our blog and leave some comments on it. What’s wrong with our blog? What’s wrong with us? Within this article I will review most of the things should be considered to drag people to come and give you feedback.

1.    Posting informational post
Writing is easy but writing with benefit needs more skill. This is what you have to do before you post something on your blog: you have to make sure that the information you wrote is useful for your reader. There are many smart people out there and they are hungry for great information. When they find several informative posts on your blog, they will be your loyal reader and they will be thankful enough to post comments and feedback for you.

2.    Getting Mingle with your readers
You already write informative post on your blog. What do you have to do now? You have to get mingle with your readers. There are so many sites which provides visitor’s tracker. You can make use of them. Visit your readers back and say thank you to them. You must appreciate your readers first to show them that they are important for you. Soon you will be surprised for what they will do for you on your blog.

3.    Commenting on their blogs
Wise people said that to gain something, you should give something. This rule happens to be the same in the blogosphere. To gain more feedback from your readers, you should give more feedback to them too. Try to visit their site once or twice per week and give comments on their post. Find something interesting on their post and give your honest review or opinion for it. They will really appreciate your review and they will do the same to you.

4. Decorating your blog
Make an aye catching layout and design for your blog. People will easily be attracted by great and smart color representing your blog. You must know what the category of your blog is and then create a suitable design and layout for it. The blog with user friendly layout will help people to read more and drag others to visit it too.

5. Building your writing momentum
Some people write when they want it while the others write because they have to. If you really want to build your own community who always read and keep in touch with your updated post, you should build your momentum. It will help your readers to know when you will publish a new post. They will be able to give feedback as well.

Those are several things you need to do to get feedback on your blog. Pay a very good attention to the readers and they will do the same to you too. Have a good try and enjoy the result.

The story Of Appreciation

2012-05-14T12:22:00.001+07:00

Greetings from me, Ichasweetz, Ika, Devita or whatever you want to call me, named it. I get this email from one of my mailing list group. I find this very inspiring. I thought that all of you have to read this. I hope it will change our life and the way we sees ourselves and the world. Happy reading.

***************************

*This is a powerful message in our modern society. *

*We seem to have lost our bearings and our sense of direction.

Story of Appreciation

A young academically excellent person applied for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from secondary school until the postgraduate research, never did he have a year when he did not score highest marks.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?"

The youth answered, "none".

The director asked,"Was it your father who paid your school fees?"

The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid all my school fees.”

The director asked,"Where did your mother work?"

The youth answered,"My mother works as a washer of clothes.

The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked," Have you ever helped your mother wash clothes?"

The youth answered,"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's

hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.”

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tears fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many cuts and bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed other people’s clothes everyday which had enabled him to pay his school fees. The bruises in his mother's hands was the price that the mother was paying for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After cleaning his mother's hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: "Please tell me what you did and what you learned yesterday ?"

The youth answered,"I cleaned my mother's hand, and also washed all the remaining clothes”

The Director asked,"Please tell me what you felt."

The youth said,

"Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today.

Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done.

Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationships."

The director said, "This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.”

Later on, this young person worked very hard and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wants, will develop the "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.

When he starts work, he would assume that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his

employees and would always blame others.

This kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not find achievement.

He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our kids instead?

You can let your kids live in a big house, give them a Driver & Car for going around, Eat Good Meals, learn to play the Piano, Watch a Big Screen TV. But when you are Cutting Grass or cleaning the car or working, please let them experience it.

After a Meal, let them Wash their Plates and Bowls together with their Brothers and Sisters.

Tell them to Travel in Public Bus, It is not because you do not have Money for Car or to Hire a Maid, but it is because you want to LOVE them in the right way. You want them to

understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair too will Grow Grey, same as the Mother of that young person.

The most important thing is that your kids learn how to appreciate the efforts of their parents and others and experience the difficulty that goes into giving them every luxury and learn the ability to work with others to get things done.

Thank you n Best Regards

Best wishes

Daniel R Marsan

Soon after I read this story, I remember my mom and dad who already pay me for my school. I love them and I want to appreciate them for everything that they've done. I am calling them on the phone right now.

How about you? Having something to share? I would like to read it. Comment box is available below :)

Have a great day!

Circle of Maturity

2012-03-07T15:13:00.008+07:00

I have been through these tough weeks in my life. It’s not only about family but also about my job. I met many difficult people in my job. Them, who scold me with no respect and treat me badly, have been being my accompany last weeks. I cried and disappointed. It stole my joy and happiness. Bitter-and no sweet- life have been going all these weeks.

I really am thankful to God since He really is faithful and been so good to me. He never leaves me in my ups and down. God really bless me so much that I really could overcome it one by one.

First, I dealt with my parents. It seemed that they expect more time for them. I know that I have been working around the country for a half year. I traveled and wasn’t at home for a long period. That made them feels abandoned and forgotten. I already made quality time with them and explained that I never forgot them. I love them and will not forget them.

I proved it by staying at home as much as I can. I do hang out sometime but I always spare my time to be at home and accompany them just to watch the TV or have conversation about many things. I scheduled my dating and my staying. So far, they can accept it and I am thankful for it. Mission one done!

The second problem would be my job. My colleague was very difficult. In terms of it, they scolded, pushed and claimed so many things yet they didn’t help us at all. In some time, I was really tired and wanted to let all go. I must confess that in a glance, I wanted to resign.

Yet I still survive. Why? It’s because I have supporting friends around me. My parents, my partners in my department and Mr. Bie helped me to grow up and face everything with maturity. Finally, I get my joy and happiness back. I am so grateful.

This morning devotion really touch my heart. It is told that there are 3 things which show our spiritual maturity:

1. Gratitude

2. Joy
3. God’s Centered

When we are grateful for everything in our life, we will have joy. When we have joy, we become God’s centered. When we become God’s centered, God will add more blessing and we will be grateful and gain more joy. This is like a circle that works continually.

This message really brings joy to my life. I plan to buy a note book and write down things that make me grateful for it. I did it before several years ago but I didn’t continue doing it. Now, I want a new life and I want to start it over again. I also encourage all of you to do it too then we will grow up in Him together as a sisters and brothers..

It looks so difficult? Try it with :

Much love,

So Stressful

2012-01-22T01:00:00.002+07:00

I never know that preparing for the wedding is so complicated yet absorbing all of our emotions and energy and money too. We've been facing many obstacles and solved it one by one. The problem now comes from uniting both family to create one agreement about the budget, venue, etc.

Remembering the fact that I have an "almost get married but it failed" situation, I kind of having a trauma. I am afraid that I will be failed again.

Mr Bie, his family and I have been wandering to find the best vendor for us. We've decided the venue and the bridal and the photographer which are best suitable for us.

Both family will be meeting on February. Considering the fact that my dad is so serious and tough and we are in a very tight budget, I am really scared that they will have a hard argument. God please help.

I believe that everything can be solved by a good communication and a pure heart. The question is, do we all have it? Do my family and I have it? Do Mr. Bie's family and him have it?

I love both family. Please pray for us and our family.

Especially..... for our wedding....

Tips and suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

New Diary

2012-01-15T01:00:00.000+07:00

Yesterday my manager gave me a new diary. He knows that I love to write so he gave me this:

It's a diary of reflections and act. I can find "Four Reasons Why This Book is Recommended" on the back cover. (Sorry, it's written in Indonesian language)

When you open the book, it has:
- 52 weeks planner and reflections
- 30 empty to achieve list which you want before your birthday this year
- 40 empty to achieve list which you want for this year.
- Several pages (about 25-40) for note.

I love it! So I shortly wrote down my previous "This Year To Achieve List". I want to accomplish all this list by the end of this year. Here they are (please, do not get bored):

1. I want to read the whole Bible

7. I want to cook 50 new recipes (please be amazed for me)

8. I want to bake 50 new cakes (I know I will. I read many recipes these days and I am so excited to make it!)

9. Publish one book written by me. (I don't know whether this is possible but I will certainly fight for it. Wish me luck)

10.Plant and nurture a healthy flower on my house. ( I want to have one flower nurtured by me. I never do this before but I really want to do this. I start to love gardening)

11. I want to make 20 articles on Helium to increase my writing skill.

16. I want to publish 1 book of simple recipes

17. I want to make 4 cross stitch

18. ........

I still have 23 empty to achieve lists. I will add it after I get new idea. Will you help me with the rest? I need an idea.

Thank you all.

Much more...

Love you!

Ferrero Rocher

A couple days ago I went to My. Bie's house to watch movie. I met his mom and greeted her. She greeted me back and went to the kitchen. Soon after that she came to me and gave me this chocolate. Ferrero Rocher.

I unwrapped it and took a picture of it before got it into my mouth. lol.

It has a crisp chocolate and nut outside and a soft chocolate pasta inside.

I love it. Thank you Mr. Bie's mom. Thank you Lord.

Then we went to his sister's room and watched "Green Lantern" together.

I know we were so late but we enjoyed it so much.

That's my short update. lol.

Have a great day all!

Hugs,

Pacitan Roadshow and Difficult People

2012-01-12T01:00:00.000+07:00

I have been very busy these days. I will go out of town on Friday and I'll be back on Sunday. We will have a roadshow in Pacitan, one of small cities in this province. So I will go there with my partner, Xinta and two students to accompany us.

I will drop Xinta in Ponorogo and I will continue my journey to Pacitan. It takes 8 hours to go there. We will use car. I am an admission by the way - in case you are wondering - and I share information about the university I work at to the high school student. The purpose is simple, to make them get the information about us and provide information needed for the next step orf their study.

Please pray for us, since very few department supporting us. This is what I told you on my previous post that I face many difficult people everyday. People who always put the blame on your department and help you nothing but criticizing and complaining.

Everyday I always wake up with this heavy burden in my shoulder. But now, since this is a new year, I want to be a new person. I want to give the best shot each day and leave the rest to God. I believe that He knows how hard we try to help. I believe that God will provide the way. We just have to work and pray and be thankful each day.

Have a great day!

Resolutions for Better Relationship

2012-01-11T01:00:00.001+07:00

Hi all! I read this article from yahoo and I think this is worth to be shared.
It's written by Meghan Beresford

1) Do "Good Things" together (and not just around the holidays). Everyone feels generous around the holidays, and in December, soup kitchens get so many volunteers that they have to turn helpers away. These organizations need volunteers desperately at other times of the year, so you and your sweetie will make a huge impact if you skip the Christmas day goodness and volunteer year-round instead. If you're a Christmas lover, do your good deeds on the 25th of each month. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

2) Eat mindfully. When you're coupled, it's easy to cozy up on the couch and shovel down Chinese food while watching movies. Not only does this habit pack on the pounds, but it skips the fun and intimacy that can come with preparing and sharing food, too. Choose healthy recipes, and make your date nights special by cooking and eating together. Better than an overpriced restaurant any day!

3) Sweat together. If you're part of a tubby tandem and serious about ditching extra pounds, enlist your partner as a workout buddy. If you're not overweight, exercising with your partner is still a great way to improve your overall health. And everyone knows that the rosy cheeks and heavy breathing exercise brings reminds us of other things that involve rosy cheeks and heavy breathing. Speaking of which...

4) Make sexytime a priority. When we're busy, sex can get lost in the shuffle, but it's too good for your relationship, your health, and your mood to skip. Make time to reconnect with your partner in the sack by scheduling a weekend "staycation." If the sex has become lackluster, put some energy into figuring out how to make it exciting again. It might be a new position, a new toy, or just a straight-up change of venue (kitchen, anyone?).

5) Stop squabbling. If you have a serious beef with your partner, it's important to bring it up, but try to avoid petty arguments and insults. One nitpicky fight isn't a big deal, but over time, small backbiting comments can erode the foundation of your relationship. Pick your battles. When you sense a fight on the horizon, try to calm yourself momentarily and ask "Is this worth disturbing the peace for?"

6) Strive for emotional honesty. Even the bluntest among us has avoided explaining feelings to a lover at one time or another. It can be hard to share with your partner (especially if you're experiencing a thorny, irrational emotion like jealousy) but it's important that you keep your mate in the loop so that he can act appropriately. Saying "I feel" instead of "you made me feel" will help you and your partner stay focused on resolving the negative emotions without it turning into a blamefest.

7) Nuke multitasking. When you're spending time with your sweet, banish buzzes, bleeps and chirps from your computer and phone. Don't scroll through your texts while your partner is talking to you, or IM a friend while you're supposed to be planning dinner. You may think you can do two things at once, but when you do, you're sending your partner the message that they're not worth your full attention. If you both have things you must do on your phone or computer, set a block of time aside to accomplish the tasks, and then move on with your evening (and don't even think of counting your tech time together as a 'date'!).

8) Treat your partner as well as you treat your friends. It's easy to take your romantic partner for granted, and sometimes we don't treat our lovers as well as we should. Like family, we assume that they're in it for the long haul and when we're stressed, our romantic relationships that take extra abuse. Ask yourself if you say or do things to your partner that you wouldn't do to your best friend, and if you discover that you do, adjust your behavior accordingly. And, remember, it takes practice to change a habit; don't give up if you don't change overnight.

9) Listen. Don't nod automatically as he talks. Don't wait for your turn to speak. Don't do the dishes while he tells you about his day. Sit down, look him in the eye, pay attention to what he says, and ask follow-up questions. This is one of the best things you can do for your relationship. Active listening is a skill that has to be honed with time and effort, but it's incredibly important. Work at it.

10) Criticize less than you praise. When you spend a lot of time with someone, it becomes easy to overlook the things that are great about them. Instead of dwelling on his bad habits, remind yourself of the reasons you fell for him in the first place. Then remind him! Couples who have been together for a long time tend to forget to compliment one another. Try to dish out three compliments for every criticism, and don't be shocked if he mirrors your actions. Shared appreciation breeds kindness and consideration, and what couple couldn't use more of that?

11) Break a bad habit together. If you and your man share a habit that's less-than-great for you, help one another break it instead of encouraging the behavior within your relationship. Instead of nudging one another outside for smoke breaks, make a pact to limit yourselves to a certain number of cigarettes a day. If you drink too much together, make a two-drink rule and try to stick to it.

12) Play! One of the worst things about being an adult is the total lack of juice boxes, naptime and recess. (What's up with that?) Thankfully, the dullness of the workday world doesn't have to extend to your personal life. Infuse your partnership with a sense of play. Have pillow fights, talk in funny voices, and draw mustaches on the models in your ladymags. Do something creative together... take a guitar class, throw pottery, or learn to roll sushi. Whatever. Stepping outside of your routine can bring you and your partner closer, and it'll ensure that things never get boring between you.

Here's to a Happy New Year... and to your relationship growing stronger than ever in 2012!

regards,
