Babies in Starbucks and romantic check lists...
I've just posted a new "your e-mail of the week". It's from Emma and I'll be very surprised if her sister forgives her. To read it, go to my home page and click on the 'star' marked "your e-mail of the week". And drop me a line with your view!
You know I'm sure she's a lovely woman (I once met her briefly at the Big Breakfast) but I'm a bit disappointed in Denise Van Outen. It's every mother's right to choose whether or not they breastfeed. But I've never heard such a lame excuse as, "I didn't want to be seen in my Starbucks breastfeeding."
What would you be doing in a Starbucks with a three week old baby anyway? Why wouldn't you be at home chilling out - gosh resting up after the birth even - and getting to know your offspring? Can’t someone go without Starbucks for a few months?
The reason for this little rant is that this sort of attitude typifies what I see in a lot new mothers - they feel they can't give up their little treats - even for a few months. The mind boggles!
In the new magazine Expert Beauty (right now it's only available in spas and gyms, cosmetic surgery clinics, etc.) I've written an article about sexual confidence. If you want good advice about beauty, cosmetic surgery, etc. Then you can take a look at it online - expertbeautymagazine.com
If you're single you might be interested in the "dating in the dark" feature in today's Daily Express newspaper. I gave my thoughts to the journalist who tried it.
This has been going on for a few years and I think it's a brilliant idea because it cuts out that whole first impression thing. Let's face it, we women can be as critical about the way a man looks as men are about women. Even if he's not ‘dressed right’ by our standards, we can write him off as a potential date.
We have as much of a romantic check list as men do.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if I'd taken this "romantic check list" attitude when I met my man who became my second husband we never would have got together. I had it in my head that because I was divorced with children, I needed to meet a man who also was divorced with children so he would really understand my situation.
Well, he wasn't divorced though he was fresh out of a long-term relationship. And he certainly didn't have children. But it soon became apparent that he had amazing qualities and so I dumped my checklist and snapped him up.
Had lovely smoked haddock carpaccio last night when out with a couple girlfriends at the Century Club. Love tasting new dishes - and it was tasty with fresh chilies, citrus, basil and delicious little lettuce leaves. Might try throwing together these ingredients myself one day.
Take care, Pam X
