How About We Book Release: Modern Dating A Field Guide #ModernDating

May 17, 2013 by Cari Bee · Leave a Comment

I have to be honest. I have always hated dating. The not knowing if what you’re doing is right, how to meet men of good standing, if my online profile is attractive or not. Whew, I’m getting anxious just thinking about it!!!!

Luckily for me, from HowAboutWe comes the funny and relatable new book, MODERN DATING: A Field Guide. Modern Dating A Field Guide is an encouraging, and practical resource for women at all stages of the dating game. Whether you’re single and looking to sow some wild oats, casually dating, or really ready to find a serious relationship, the tips, anecdotes, and stories will help ease the frustrations of dating. Hey, even sassy pinup girls need help when it comes to dating.

The other day, I had a few friends over to the house and we talked about our dating horror stories and how Modern Dating A Field Guide would have helped. The most referenced part was how to write a good online profile.

Who knew talking about yourself in a positive *yet honest* way could be so difficult?? A few of us will even be using pics from the party as our “Candid-laughing-and-having-a-great-time” photo.

The book is with beautifully-designed how-to’s, infographic, charts and guest-posts from the likes of Hanna Rosin (The End of Men) and Lauren Leto (Texts from Last Night.) From pre-date Googling stalking, to splitting the check, to the art of the sexting and taking a sexy selfie — Modern Dating A Field Guide guides readers through all the triumphs and pitfalls of what dating is actually like in the 21st century.

Readers will discover:

· Seventy out-of-the-box date ideas.

· A fascinating infograph on the evolution of dating from the 1100s to present—do you know what era condoms first existed and what they were made of? Or the era that ushered in the phrases “going steady” and “long term”?

· Funny and useful flowcharts, such as “Can We Be Friends With Benefits?” and “Should I Ask Him Out?”

How do you get that perfect pinup girl winged eye liner? This is the perfect how-to for gel liner and an angled brush. This is how I learned to do it, and I use MAC’s gel pot and their angled brush.

Keep practicing.

Lucille Ball Voted Most Untamed & Influential Mom

May 12, 2013 by Cari Bee · Leave a Comment

Mother’s Day is here and while there is no one that can compare to your own mom, it’s always fun to see what we think about celebrity moms.

Being a mother is one of the boldest jobs there is, so Good Earth Tea, maker of unique and untamed blends, asked fans about their own mothers in their second annual Mother’s Day survey. Just like Good Earth’s distinct flavor combinations, the results are delightfully surprising. When asked who the most untamed, “make-a-mark” mother in history was, respondents choose Lucille Ball (38.9%) over Eleanor Roosevelt (24.9%), Michelle Obama (17.1%) or Marie Curie (13.5%).

I guess that proves that braving your own trail, pays off. She certainly wasn’t a typical TV mom. *While I like Lucille Ball, and think she took the entertainment industry by storm, Marie Curie needs more props here.*

So what TV mom is most like our own? The Good Earth Tea drinkers said the quintessential clean-cut, even tempered mom, Carol Brady of The Brady Bunch with 41.2% of the votes. It must be the fabulous outfits and iconic hair.

As for real life celebrity mothers, Madonna was voted as the BOLDEST celebrity mom (41%), with Gwyneth Paltrow and Kris Jenner tied for a distant second with 16.6% of the vote each. Beyonce’ received the fewest votes (12.7%) just behind Victoria “Posh” Beckham who got 13.2% of the vote. Madonna does push boundaries, musician, producer, movie director, building schools in Malawi, and mom.

“Good Earth Tea’s unique fusions are inspired by the Earth’s natural wonders, and there are few natural wonders more profound than motherhood, so we love hearing what our fans have to say about moms,” said Anna Corini, Marketing Executive, Good Earth. “At Good Earth, we celebrate bold moves and untamed moments and mothers are always a source of both.”

More than 45% of respondents said their own mother is both sweet and spicy – an ideal combination, just like Good Earth’s signature Sweet & Spicy blend.

Happy Mother’s Day! Go and celebrate your own Sweet & Spicy mom. <3
