7 Things Never To Tell Your Colleagues

In all probability, you count many of your colleagues as your friends and spend more time with them than you do with you loved ones.

But where should a person draw the line and at what point should they stop being pals with theirco-workers and start a professional relation with them.

Indian-origin workplace law expert Joydeep Hor said that boundaries between work and privatelife are becoming blurred, which in turn is creating problems for workers both professionally and legally.

He has listed seven things that we should avoid talking or discussing about with our co-workers.

Firstly, Hor said that séx life is a topic that people should avoid talking with their colleagues, as it can get them in legal trouble; he asserted that the definition of s*xual harassment can be quite broad.

Secondly, people need to be aware of their obligation not to maligncertain groups in the workplace, as the expression of personally held opinions could be dangerous.

Thirdly, gossiping about others in a work place is a no-no, as it suggests that the person may not be productive in the workplace. And gossiping about people in their private life is also risky.

Fourthly, a worker should never tell their superior that that they wrote themselves off on the weekend, as it represents a lapse in judgement and could makes them query if the person could have the same lapse in judgement in their work.

Fifthly, if a colleague or a customer is discourteous to the person, they should be careful about how they respond, especially if they are angry or frustrated, as co-workers might be turned off if they are constantly venting about others.

Sixthly, a person should never reveal to a co-worker about the big mistakes that they have committed in their life, as they can disclose it to others.

Seventhly, major life events that have happened in a person’s life can pose problems if they share them in the wrong way.

Things Not To Be Shared With Best Friend

There are a few things that should be strictly personalYou and your bum chum may believe that friendship is all about loving, caring and sharing. While that may be true, but there are a few things that should be absolutely personal and private. Here are a few things that should be in that list.Your toiletries: We are not saying that you should act miserly and not share your toothpaste, but sharing your brush is a definite no-no. Also things like your comb should be yours alone. It doesn’t really matter how close you are with your friend, or if it is an unexpected overnight stay, somethings just can’t be shared.

Your undergarménts: If sharing your toiletries is not done, then sharing your undergarment is a sin. It’s just too unhygienic, no matter how many times you decide to wash it. Girl, sharing your clothes is fine, but what’s undernéath it, stays right there. The best thing to do would have a spare pair of fresh undergarments at your home.

Cosmetics: Each skin type is different from the other, while you may not have sensitive skin but the same may not hold true for your friend. Make sure you don’t get into some major trouble with your skin by using your friend’s products.

Credit card/debit card pin number: No matter how close your friend is, you just cannot share banking details with him/her. Similarly, don’t be offended if he/she refuses to tell you about his/her savings or salary. There are somethings that are best kept private.

Your ex and her ex: No matter how many times anyone says they are ‘okay’ with their best friend dating their ex, it just doesn’t hold true. That applies both ways. Don’t be surprised if your best friend stops responding to your calls because you’ve gotten to play with her ex.

Ways To Make Reading Fun For Your Kid

Whether you’re looking for an idea to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary, or to spice up a blessedly free weekend, we’ve dug up the best ways to spend precious time with your hubby.

Learn To Dance

If it turned Silver Linings Playbook‘s depressed, angry Pat (Bradley Cooper) into positive relationship material, just imagine what a class would do for your guy. Plenty of studios offer sessions for first-timers and couples, but if your guy’s especially intimidated, consider booking a private lesson to start.

Be A Little Silly

“On one of our first dates, my guy and I challenged each other to a ‘triathlon’ of activities we both liked,” says Robyn H., 28, of Durham, NC. “We decided to compete in football, Pac-man, and pizza-eating. We were laughing the whole time, and now, part of the fun of ‘triathloning’ is coming up with three ‘events’ we can compete in. We’ve done ice skating, Connect Four, and M&M-eating and another time, we did swimming, diving, and onion ring eating.”

Have Drunch

Friday night date-night dinner can be crowded and cliché. Instead, trade carpooling duties with a friend, and spend a free Saturday at brunch. Or, just have it at home. While you can’t go wrong with eggs and mimosas, Leah Tinari, owner of New York City brunch hotspot Fatta Cuckoo, swears by BLT tacos. To make them, take corn tortillas and toast them in a pan while you’re frying bacon. Top the tacos with arugula, avocado slices, tomatoes, and a dash of hot sauce. Toast the day ahead with a tequila sea breeze: one ounce grapefruit juice, one ounce cranberry juice, and one ounce tequila. To make it extra delicious, eat it in bed…nearly nakéd.

Go back to school

We live in a college town, and we’re always scanning the school’s website to see what interesting, open-to-the-public activities it offers,” says Denver resident Jane S., 38. “We’ve seen cool authors speak, gone to shows of student work, and,

I’ll admit it, get a kick out of strolling around campus and imagining we we’re still 19.”

Ways To Make Reading Fun For Your Kid

With other attractive options like television and laptops, the habit of reading often takes a backseat among children.

Here’s how you can make reading fun for your kid.

Read out aloud
Studies show that regularly reading out loud to children not only helps them enjoy the book better but also produces significant gains in their reading comprehension, vocabulary and decoding of words. Whether your children are preschoolers or preteens, it will increase their desire to read independently.

Surround kids with reading material
The reading material should be easily accessible in your house. If your child has a book lying around, he/she is more likely to pick it up and begin to read rather than reach out for the television remote.

Be a reading buddy
It is likely that your child will start reading if he/she sees you reading too. So, establish a daily 15 to 30 minute time when you grab a book and cozy up with your kid to read.

Encourage reading activities
Who says reading only means sitting in a corner with a book? Encourage your children to read on-the-go too. You could ask them to spell out hoardings on the road or read menu cards at restaurants.

7 Great Ways To Build Trust In A Relationship!!!

Trust is the glue that binds lovers together; especially when they are faced with adversities. Mistrust often forces people to part ways in a situation of relationship crisis. On the other hand, if a relationship has strong foundations then no crisis would ever be able to separate those in love. Therefore, sense of security is the key to a happy and healthy relationship and it only comes to fruition by trusting each other completely. Here is how you can place the building blocks correctly and stay happy in a relationship, without any mistrust.
1. No space for lies
Just a small lie is good enough to ruin a potentially beautiful relationship. If you tell your partner that you are going to come home late as you have a meeting, office work, etc., but instead you go to a club with your friends to drink, can lead to disastrous repercussions once your partner finds out the truth. Maybe your partner would not care much for the lie, but it would certainly shake the trust in your relationship. Psychologist Joel Block says, “Even small lies are like psychological termites.”
2. Be true about your feelings
Most relationships often fail to stand the test of time because couples hide their true feelings and emotions from each other. If you are feeling jealous about the colleague that he or she is getting friendly with then talk about it. And, if you are sad about some plan your partner forgot about, then discuss it openly. “If your partner asks if you’re OK with something and you’re not, say so. If you hide it, you may become resentful, causing bigger problems later on.”
3. Reliability
If you have told your spouse that you are going to do something at a particular time on a particular day, make sure you do it. Reliability is a major step in the building of a trustworthy relationship. Your partner should be able to see that you will stay true to the promises you make, be it big or small. Remember, reliability and trust go hand in hand.

4. Set boundaries
You should set boundaries with your loved ones, especially with those outside your relationship. If boundaries or limits are not set, then jealousy or distrust can play a big hand in tearing couples apart. So, make sure you make your partner feel that he or she takes precedence over everyone else in your life.
5. Show your true colours
Guys, if you are bad at maths, no need to hide it from your lady. And girls, if you hate sports then no need to pretend otherwise to impress him. Get your partner to accept the real you, with all your doubts and insecurities. Do make efforts to change those habits that your partner might not like. But, always be true about yourself when you enter a relationship. If you’re open and self-revealing, your partner is more likely to be more open with you.
6. Tackle your relationship problems
Every relationship has its own set of problems. Just sweeping yours under a rug will not hide them. Instead of brushing things aside, learn to deal with them and work towards resolving the issues. As a couple, you should strive to create an atmosphere where either one of you is able to bring up whatever issue is troubling you. Be open to hearing and working on the problem, whatever it is. This would allow your relationship to prosper further.
7. Trust your partner
To build trust in your relationship you have to learn to trust your partner 100 per cent. Do not crucify and accuse your beloved for cheating or betraying you unless you have evidence to support your claims. Without proper proof, you will just create a dark cloud of mistrust that maybe hard to get rid of. Trust goes both ways. If you want your partner to trust you then you have to trust them as well.
These are just a few of the ways which will help you build trust in your relationship. Follow these, and you will be truly on your way to make your beautiful relationship even stronger.

Getting Pregnant – Knowing Your Ovulation Periods Increases Your Chances Of Conceiving!

Ovulation signs and symptoms are often subtle. Still, understanding when you’re ovulating — and having s*x regularly around the time of ovulation — can improve the odds of conceiving.
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. Ovulation often happens around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, although the exact timing may vary among women or even from month to month.
Ovulation signs and symptoms may include:
Abdominal cramps. For some women, ovulation triggers mild abdominal cramps.
Change in vaginal secretions. Just before ovulation, you might notice an increase in clear, slippery vaginal secretions — if you look for it. These secretions typically resemble raw egg whites. After ovulation, when the odds of becoming pregnant are slim, the discharge will become cloudy and sticky or disappear entirely.

Change in basal body temperature. Your basal body temperature, or your body’s temperature at rest, increases slightly during ovulation. Using a digital thermometer or a thermometer specifically designed to measure basal body temperature, take your temperature every morning before you get out of bed. Plot the readings on graph paper or in a spreadsheet and look for a pattern to emerge. You’ll be most fertile during the two to three days before your temperature rises.
In addition, you might want to try an over-the-counter ovulation kit. These kits test your urine for the surge in hormones that takes place before ovulation, which helps you identify when you’re most likely to be ovulating.
To maximize your fertility, have s*x once a day around the time of ovulation — particularly during the day or two leading up to ovulation.

Ladies: Why You Must Stop Wearing Tight Panties

For women, it is almost a must to wear panties. While some go for loose panties, a large number go for tight-fitting ones just to give a s^x appeal!
If only they knew that tight undergarments pose a danger to one’s health. Some studies have shown that tight briefs in particular are actually harmful to the human body. Tight panties? Dangerous to health. How?
First, tight briefs disrupt the lymphatic system, which removes wastes and toxins from the entire body, and causes wastes and toxins not to be properly removed from the body. This is dangerous!
A potential con of wearing tight underwear, especially for women, is the increased likelihood of developing yeast infection or urinary tract infection. How does this come about? Just wear tight panties and you will discover that your v**ina does not breathe well. So, it is better to choose a size that follows your body’s contours perfectly, but not tight.
To ensure the health of the private parts, doctors typically recommend wearing breathable, somewhat loose undergarments that absorb moisture well.
Tight panties are less than ideal for sweat-inducing activities such as exercising or hiking. In addition to fostering an unpleasant odour, trapping sweat near your skin increases your risk of yeast infections and blistering along the pant seams.
When riding on a stationary bike or sitting on a weight bench, for example, it becomes difficult and risky when your panties glides off the surface designated for sitting. Even structures not intended for athletics, such as a plastic subway seat or a smooth park bench, become potential hazard against the friction-lacking texture of tight undergarments.

The other problem associated with women wearing tight panties is the irritating effect of the tight material against the skin. When a woman walks around all day wearing tight panties, the material rubs against the urethra and outer vaginal area creating areas of irritation and even small tears. These irritated areas can also be set-ups for infection. This can be a particular problem for women who are prone to vaginal or urinary tract infections.
According to health.com vaginal and urinary tract infections are not the only problem associated with wearing the wrong size of pants, they can irritate hemorrhoids and even cause an*l lacerations. Even more risky is wearing it in hot weather. Sweating combined with the close contact of the material against the skin, creates the perfect environment for a vaginal yeast infection.
After removing your undergarments, do you observe red marks? If so, chances are, your undergarments are too tight for you, and really should be changed. Dump them out like last year’s new clothes, and find undergarments, which will hug you, and fit on properly instead of giving a tightening effect.
The less they are worn the better, but if you cannot wean them completely from your underwear drawer, at least wear them in moderation, bearing in mind that a urinary tract or yeast infection is not very sexy.
