HOW TO MESMORISE MEN

 What do Angelina Jolie and Milla Jovovich have in common? They have a mysterious quality that attracts men like a magnet, makes them putty in their hands and brings them to their knees.

When it comes to being irresistibly sexy we can learn a lot from women who already wear the t-shirt. Throughout history, there has been a secret combination of qualities that make women irresistible to men.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has it. Marilyn Monroe, Helen of Troy and Cleopatra had it. Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria and Nigella Lawson have got it. Angelina Jolie definitely has it. All have driven men to distraction - and some to destruction. How? By being a multitude of contradictions. Sweet and sexy. Maternal and filthy. Elegant and depraved.

Sexy women have more than just the looks and body of a Goddess. They cast a spell of enchantment the minute they open their luscious mouths. They ask for men’s advice. They are attentive and charming. They ask questions and listen with doey eyes. They wear heels and wiggle when they walk. They enter a room and the temperature starts to rise.

Every man wants a girl with different sides to her personality. They want someone feisty and cool to hang out with. Beautiful and smart. But most of all they want someone unpredictable. They might not think they do, but their subconscious certainly does.

So by all means be the person his mother will adore, cook him delicious meals and be gracious to his friends. But walk on the wild side too. If you dream of making out in places where you’re bound to get caught, tell him. If you have fantasies about three in a bed sex, tell him that too. Pounce when he least expects it.

Make him tremble by being the woman he least expects. 

TO DO OR NOT TO DO?

 Being decisive is essential if you want to be free and happy, but where does it come from - the ability to be decisive? Indecisiveness - your own and other people’s - can drive you crazy. I’ve struggled with it myself so I know how much it can wreak havoc with your sanity. Shall we do this or that? Are we going here or there? But what if we do that and this happens? And what if I do that and I regret it?

There is no magic involved in being decisive. It’s simply a matter of deciding to be decisive! Tell yourself that you are decisive, visualise yourself as a decisive person, force yourself to make fast decisions, and trust your instincts. Block any thought of making a mistake out of your head. Indecisiveness occurs when you think too much. So make a decision and don’t give it a second thought. Simple as that.
