Rule #1 For Jump-Starting Your Summer Fun!

DearSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

If you're single this Summer, this week is for you! Since the days are long and the nights are warm, I'm here to offer you some tips on how to make the most out of your waking hours and possibly even meet someone to share them with! I hope you enjoy my five rules for jump-starting your Summer fun!

Rule Number 1

Mondays are always a drag, but no matter how tired you are, beat those Monday night blues and go out instead of hiding under your covers at home. Since most everyone hates to see the weekend come to an end, Monday nights aren't what they used to be so grab a girlfriend, hit up your local wine bar, and reminisce about your weekends over a glass of wine! Since most wine bars I know get pretty packed, make friends with your tablemates - you never know who you might meet. Keep in mind that meeting Mr. Right can happen anywhere, at anytime so remember to smile and always be approachable!

Rule #2 For Jump-Starting Your Summer Fun!

If you're single this Summer, this week is for you! Since the days are long and the nights are warm, I'm here to offer you some tips on how to make the most out of your waking hours and possibly even meet someone to share them with! I hope you enjoy my five rules for jump-starting your Summer fun!

Rule Number 2

Though they may be the most popular places to meet someone, a bar is not always the best spot, so ditch that idea and join an intramural sports team in your neighborhood. The thrill of competition always creates camaraderie, so you can’t help but get to know other people, all while enjoying some much-needed fresh air and sunshine. Plus, there’s always the opportunity for a postgame beer with your favorite teammate! So hop online or ask around the office and find a team that works for you.

Rule #5 For Jump-Starting Your Summer Fun!

DearSugar — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Getting a glass of wine on a Monday night with your girlfriends is a great way to get yourself out there, you know, just in case, but chances are it'll be a pretty tame night which is why Fridays are the night to go big! People are ready to blow off steam from the long work week so my last rule to jump-starting your Summer fun is to get your girls together, throw on something sexy - leaving your sweater at home, of course - and head to your favorite dance spot or local bar. Keep a smile on your face and if someone you fancy glances your way, hold his stare. Although meeting someone special at a bar is a bit cliche, don't discount it - people meet their future husbands at bars all the time. And remember to be a lady - don't drink too much!

Rule #4 For Jump-Starting Your Summer Fun!

DearSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:30:00 -0700

Summertime is meant for the beach and warm weather attire. If I had it my way, I'd live in a sundress and flip-flops all year round - there's just something sexy about spaghetti straps and short skirts that always makes me feel beautiful. And we all know that when you feel beautiful from the inside out, you automatically become more approachable and open to meeting new people.

So ladies, for rule number four for jump-starting your Summer fun, I suggest you shed some of those clothes and show a little skin - tis' the season!

Do You Have More Sex on Vacation?

TresSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:30:00 -0700

Whether you're single and looking to mingle or getting away from it all with the old ball and chain, vacations can be highly conducive to good sex. But just because Summer travel season is over doesn't mean the fun should be too. Do you get more action on vacation?

Rule #3 For Jump-Starting Your Summer Fun

Rule Number 3

Take advantage of all this season has to offer and spice up your dating routine. While Winter might be about holing yourself up inside with bundles of blankets and a hearty meal, Summer is all about adventure and pleasure. I’ve got a few ideas just perfect for some Summer romance. To see them, and weigh in with your own, read more.

It’s concert season! I’m sure at least one band or singer you’ve been dying to see is making their way to a venue near you right now. Interest in music is a great way to bond and a fantastic show will always make for a memorable date.
Grabbing dinner and catching the newest blockbuster is a safe date, but why not kick it up a notch in true Summer style and make it a picnic? Many counties countrywide offer movie nights in the park. There’s nothing more romantic, and all it requires is a blanket and some homemade sandwiches!
Warm weather means festivals and fairs. Keep your date casual, but totally classic with a trip to your county or state fair. Ride the Ferris wheel, check out the livestock, enjoy food on a stick, and let him prove his affection by winning you a giant, stuffed cartoon character.
Do the obvious and host a potluck BBQ. Getting a group together to enjoy Summer’s bounty of refreshing chow is a great way to get to know someone in a different setting, while staying in the comfort of your own home.

Whatever you do, don’t be afraid to do something different. Your date will appreciate you for thinking outside of the box.

Richard Dawkins Funds Atheist Camp For Kids

TresSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:00 -0700

Famous atheist Richard Dawkins has put his money behind a Summer camp for kids - you can think of it as the anti-Jesus Camp.

At atheist Camp Quest, kids aged 8-17 learn about rational skepticism, moral philosophy, ethics, and evolution - while enjoying traditional camp activities. According to those involved, the project is not about changing what kids think, but about changing the way they think.

Do you think kids should be able to go to camp and just have fun, or is it valuable to include an emphasis on religious or ideological values?

5 Things to Look Forward to This January

DearSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:00:00 -0800

I've already been bombarded by friends telling me that they're suffering from post-holiday blues, and to be honest, I'm feeling it a little too. When it's dark and cold outside it's easy to get down, but there are some really fun things we can all look forward to this January. Check out my list below and if you think I've missed something, add your thoughts in the comments section - the more things to look forward to the better!

Even if you're not a sports fan, football playoffs are a fun excuse to get out of the house and meet new people, especially if you're single!
Most of us have a long weekend to look forward to just two weeks away - Martin Luther King Day falls early this year, Jan. 19.
Weekends away during the Winter can be just as fun as any Summer vacation. Bundle up and hit the slopes (or the lodge) and enjoy the snow while you can.
Most of us know someone with a January birthday, so blow it out this year! It's easy to hermit after the holidays so don't let your friends get the short end of the stick - make it a big celebration and get back into the swing of things before you get stuck in a rut.
If you need another excuse to celebrate, plan an inauguration party and watch history being made with close friends and family.

The How-To Lounge: Getting Excited About Fall

DearSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

I love the Fall; there’s something so special about those months just before Winter. But even though I enjoy the Fall season, for some reason every year, I have a terrible time letting go of Summer and all those long, hot nights. So I’ve come up with some tips for taking the edge off. To see them, read more.

I love sandals, but I love scarves and boots more! Personally I think the Fall can bring out the greatest in attire, so get pumped up by cleaning out (and adding to) your closet.
The great outdoors are usually still gorgeous in the Fall, and without tourists swarming your closest national park, you’ll be able to enjoy them more. It’s a great way to transition away from Summer’s bounty of outdoor fun without abandoning it completely.
Unfortunately, even the breezy Fall can have its share of blustery days. When that happens, I like to make sure I take advantage of it and grab a chai latte or indulge in some grocery store pumpkin pie, with whipped cream of course! Nothing says Fall to me like spiced drinks and pumpkins!
It’s football season, so don’t fear, you can still enjoy the fries and hot dogs you worshiped at your local stadium all Summer.
The Fall season also happens to be when all our favorite TV shows premiere, so set your DVR, and come the next cold Saturday, don’t feel the least bit guilty curling up for a few hours with just your remote.

We can’t stop the Fall from coming, but we can make the best of it!
