Hello Dolls,

   

Today we're going to talk about misinterpretations.  Have you ever thought a guy was really into you?  He did all the right things, said all the right words.  Everything about his actions were perfect.  You went out, to dinner dates, movies and had other activities together formally and informally.  So you probably thought to yourself, everything he did told you that he wanted more than just a friendship. Suddenly, your decision to make your move to take things deeper by expressing your feelings is met by disaster.  Not only are your feelings not returned, but you've possibly ruined a good friendship.  Does this sound familiar to you?  How can you prevent such an embarrassing moment?
     To be honest ladies some guys just give mixed signals.  Seemingly they play upon the edges of friendship tipping upon the boundaries of something more whether this is initial or not.  How can we read the signs of such mixed signals?  Is there a way that we could accurately interpret them?

Really? He is not interested in a relationship.  Don't read more into it.  Exit Now!

     This subject is very vast in that some guys actually play upon such boundaries by flirting and so forth in order to see actually how far they can get with you without an actual commitment.  Others may do so in an attempt to respectfully let you know that they are into you without putting themselves out there in case their feelings are not returned.  Then there are those men who really may just be being nice, who maybe outgoing and even free with their feelings with only the thought of doing so much as being a platonic friend, whether it's to boost you up because of some recent traumatic event like a recent break up or for no reason at all other than to be nice.
     In the eyes of some, even many all of these perceptions maybe very difficult to interpret.  But with some key information you maybe able to identify what type of man your dealing with which would help you to determine the signals projected properly.  Is your friend guarded or more outgoing?  Is his personality inverted or external?  While there are different ways to determine this.  The truth is, the only way to find out is to ask plainly. Do you consider that embarrassing, or are you too shy?  Consider the old statement" a closed mouth does not  get fed."  If you'd like to ask a platonic friend a question without going too far, simply be frank.  If he asks you out for an informal dinner, movie or any informal setting that you begin to wonder about.  Simply ask what is his intent?
 The question can easily begin a deeper understand of his and your intentions.  Or is it you enjoy the cat and mouse game as well?  One key thing to remember men are not the only ones that give mixed signals, even for all the above mentioned purposes.
     So in conclusion Dolls if you really are not into beating around the bush and would like to avoid what misinterpreting mixed signals can bring.  Be frank, and ask the intention of whom your dealing with.  Otherwise not only could you experience an embarrassing moment at the least.  But you could be giving the same mixed signals yourself.  Until next time ladies be safe!

Hello Dolls, 

During this holiday season, most of us will be traveling to our family and friends (or to avoid them lol). And while taking a trip is always exciting (or should be), it can become quite stressful , especially if you forget to pack things you will need to remain your usual fashionable self. So I decided to share my list of must haves for your carry on bags.

Travel Flat-irons or Curlers (battery operated preferred):  I cannot tell you how many times I have gone international and forgot converters are needed for plugs and outlets. So to avoid this drama (and a vacation filled with bad hair days) invest in some quality battery operated flat-irons or curlers, they especially come in handy for road trips. It will certainly make the vacay much more enjoyable if your hair stays fly!


Hair Mousse or a light oil:  Weather definitely affects our hair in several ways,  and during the winter months, it can be super harsh on our hair.  I recommend a nice light mousse or light (non-greasy)oil or serum that will keep your hair looking healthy without weighing it down.

Tide to Go Pen: I cannot begin to tell you how this little pen has worked its way into my heart (and my purse of course).  Dramatic? Trust me I am not trying to be.  Being a naturally clumsy person, when I eat I tend to make a mess at times; and well when you are on the go sometimes, you cannot just change your clothes, so what can you do? Grab your tide to go pen, head to the nearest bathroom and start to scrub that pesky stain out!


Sunglasses -Shades:   There is nothing like a cute pair of shades to compliment any outfit. And while traveling sunglasses, can be the perfect accessory when feeling to lazy to maybe put on lashes or other makeup.  So make sure you pack a pair or 2 of shades to block the sun and your haters.


Well, that is the end of my little list of things to pack to remain fly while traveling.  Hopefully, this will help you during this busy holiday season. Have a suggestion for my list?! Please comment :) We love them!

Love Always XOXO,

Paper Doll
