Hi Everyone,
In order to make DearSugar the best it can be, I am back with another reader survey to help figure out what you like, what you dislike, and more importantly, what you want to see more of on the site.
Please take a moment to fill out DearSugar's survey. Our goal is to get to know you better so that DearSugar can be everything you've ever wanted it to be.
Thank you once again for all of your continuous questions, Group Therapy posts, and, of course, comments!
All the best,
DearSugar
Valentine's Day sometimes feels a lot like a Hallmark holiday; nevertheless, a lot of us try to make it our own by honoring love and friendship, indulging ourselves or requesting a little pampering. We might buy lingerie, eat a few chocolate-covered strawberries, or drink a little bubbly as a way to celebrate the carnal and romantic parts of our lives.
Please share, ladies: We're dying to know about your Valentine's Day plans. And this means you, too, single girls. We're all in this together!
Will he call? It's an age-old question, and one that women who are dating tend to ask and analyze a lot, filled with an anxious and exhilarated mix of hope, worry and excitement. If the phone doesn't ring soon after the date, we can find ourselves wondering if we did something wrong, if we misinterpreted something, if they really liked us at all. And sometimes, these tense questions and their focus keep us from being in touch with how we felt about the date, the conversation, and whether or not we're even that interested in him. read more
Chocolates, roses, and candy, oh my! Finding the perfect gift for your Valentine can be a daunting task, but on a day meant to celebrate the love you feel for your partner, sometimes the most memorable gifts are small and simple and heartfelt. One of the best presents I ever received was actually the card attached to the gift, which I still keep in a box filled with other important keepsakes.
Ladies, in the comments below, please share with us the best gift you've ever received from a Valentine or a present you gave and still remember as special.
And for you busy girls who need some last-minute gift ideas, we love FabSugar's Valentines Day Gift Guide.
A song can take you back to a time and a place, just like that. Whether it was your first slow dance or the song that was playing when you first locked eyes with your future husband, hearing a few mere notes can be powerful and emotional.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, of past loves or best loves, tell us what song makes your heart sink or gives you that "Say Anything" moment.
This latest storm of celebrity rehab stories got me thinking about the seven deadly sins and which one I struggle with the most. And then that got me wondering, ladies, what your weak spot might be.
In this day and age, professional responsibilities consume more hours than ever before, leaving us less time with our loved ones at home. Although affectionate e-mails and occasional phone calls are thoughtful and sweet, it's still important to set aside quality time for each other, live and in person. In the spirit of keeping romance alive, give your significant other the best gift of all this week: your time.
Lots of recent studies should that the happiest couples spend more time than other couples holding hands, touching each other, and gazing at each other. These activities, between happy couples, also lower blood pressure and strengthen the immune system. So, instead of using the snooze button for a few extra winks, reserve that time for lounging in bed together for another fifteen minutes.
