Sunday Confessional: I Semi Cheated

DearSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 09:00:00 -0800

I met a guy that I really liked before Christmas. It's been a while since I've felt a connection with someone, but I wasn't sure if he felt the same way. He went home to visit family for the holidays and I didn't hear from him for over a week, and I had no clue when he was coming home.

Since we hadn't had "the talk," I wasn't sure what the "rules" were while he was away - would it be considered cheating if I went out with someone else? Was he seeing other people back home? etc. There was no one else I was interested in, but on New Year's Eve, I ran into an ex-fling and we ended up ringing in the New Year together, so to speak.

The next morning when I checked my phone, the guy I was seeing had texted me, wishing me a happy New Year, telling me how much he missed me, and that he would be back that day to "see his girl that he told his entire family about." I was so happy to read his text, but I immediately felt guilty about being with someone else while he waited for me. I don't plan on telling him about my NYE affair, but can I be forgiven for keeping a secret from him in the beginning of our relationship?

Three! Two! One! and One More! 2008 Will Last an Extra Second

LibertySugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:00:27 -0800

Ready to say adios to 2008? You are going to have to wait one whole second longer this New Year's Eve. The world's official timekeepers (who knew we had them?!) have added what they call a leap second to the last day of the year to help sync clocks to the earth's slowing spin on its axis.

The US Naval Observatory - the keeper of the Pentagon's master clock - will add the extra second on Wednesday in coordination with the world's atomic clocks at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time (that's 6:59:59 p.m. EST). It's the 24th second to be added since 1972, when the practice began.

So take one extra second today to soak in all your accomplishments! And don't worry, when the fireworks go off, it's really time to sing "Auld Lang Syne" and lean in for your kiss.

Which Public Figures Would You Invite to Your New Year's Eve Party?

LibertySugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:00:28 -0800

While a fancy night on the town filled with dancing and drinks sure is a popular way to ring in the New Year, you can't go wrong with a more intimate dinner party gathering on New Year's Eve. When planning my guest list, I started to wonder: If I could invite anyone in the world who would it be?

I came up with Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla Bruni, and Sarah and Todd Palin. That prank phone call between Sarah Palin and a faux-Nicolas Sarkozy got me imagining what a real conversation would entail. The menu could include moose stew and caviar!

What about you, if you could invite any public figure to a dinner party, who would it be?

Eight Essential Tips For Getting New Year's Eve Party Ready!

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:30:00 -0800

If ever there was a night to pull out all of the stops with your makeup, it's new year's eve! Bat your lashes to lure 'em in and then pucker up with a pretty pout for a midnight kiss. Think about how your pal the party girl would do make herself up and then have a go at it yourself. To ensure that you're party perfect, here are a few beauty tips from me to you. Happy New Year everyone - have fun, and please remember to be safe.

Drink plenty of water. Hydrating is important for your skin. Also if you plan on consuming alcohol or coffee, it's a great way to help flush toxins out the body.
Try something new with your eyes. Use glitter as a lid liner, create a sexy wing-tip or bring out your inner wild child by highlighting your inner v with some white sparkle. No matter what, pile on the mascara and add some fun false lashes.
Choose one feature to emphasize. For example, if you want to create a bold eye, make sure lips are nude (and vice versa). While I can't emphasise enough that this is a great night to play up your makeup, you still wouldn't want to look trashy or overdone.
Pack your party purse. Inside of your evening bag, be sure to take along the lipstick/lip gloss that you're wearing that night, a few blotting papers to keep shine under control (think of the photos ladies) and a small concealer if there's anything your desperate to keep covered up.

For the last four party perfect beauty tips, read more.

Set your makeup. Dust loose powder over your foundation, blush and even your lips (before your lipstick) to ensure that your makeup stays put all night long.
Shimmy in shimmer. If you're plan is to be dancing the night away or just snapping your fingers in a corner somewhere, don't be afraid to add a touch of shimmer to your cheekbones, just underneath your brow bone and to the center of your lower lip.
Be lipliner savvy. The last thing you want is to be sipping champagne all night and be left with a giant ring of lipliner. For those who aren't fans of reapplying frequently, use a sealant so that the colour stays on your lips and not on your cocktail glass.
Fill in your brows.There's nothing worse than a smoky, edgy eye next to a whimpy and thin brow. Use a pencil, gel or brow mascara for added definition.
