How we celebrate Mother day?

|

 


Mother's Day:

Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated annually on different dates around the world, but typically in the months of March, April, or May. The purpose of the holiday is to honor and appreciate mothers and mother figures for their love, care, and support.

The modern Mother's Day celebrations originated in the United States in the early 20th century, when Anna Jarvis campaigned for a day to honor mothers after her own mother's death. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, and it has been observed on that day in the US ever since.

In many countries, Mother's Day is a public holiday and is celebrated with gifts, cards, flowers, and other tokens of appreciation. It is also a time for families to come together and spend quality time with their mothers.

While Mother's Day is a joyful occasion for many, it can also be a difficult day for those who have lost their mothers or for those who have strained relationships with their mothers. It is important to remember that everyone's experiences and emotions around Mother's Day are valid and to be respectful and understanding of those who may have different feelings about the holiday.

How we celebrate Mother Day?

The way Mother's Day is celebrated varies from country to country and from family to family, but some common ways of celebrating the holiday include:

Giving gifts: Many people give their mothers gifts such as flowers, chocolates, jewelry, or other items that their mothers would appreciate.

Writing cards or letters: It is common to write cards or letters to express your love and appreciation for your mother. These cards may be handmade or store-bought.

Spending time with family: Mother's Day is often a time for families to come together and celebrate. Some families have brunch or dinner together, go out for a family outing, or simply spend time together at home.

Cooking or baking for your mother: If your mother enjoys cooking or baking, you can prepare a special meal or dessert for her.

Doing something special for your mother: You can plan a surprise or do something special for your mother that she would appreciate, such as cleaning the house, taking care of her garden, or organizing a spa day for her.

Ultimately, the best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to show your mother how much you love and appreciate her in a way that is meaningful to her.

Black Men Neck Tattoo Ideas

|
 The neck is maybe one of the most noticeable pieces of the whole human body - Despite wearing garments, it is still totally presented to a large number. All kinds of people design their necks with extravagant adornments and knickknacks, including neckbands, so their necks look exquisite and beautiful. Yet, now and again, these sorts of pieces of jewelry could be a piece expensive, and even look abnormal on a few necks. So what are you expected to do when you believe that your neck should stand apart from the rest? An extraordinary choice is to get a neck tattoo. It is reasonable for all kinds of people, since you can get inventive with the search for the tattoo. There are a lot of thoughts you could think of for this sort of tattoo. Young ladies like to put adorable examples on their tattoos, while men like putting ancestral style neck tattoos.

Neck tattoos are profoundly recognizable. The motivation behind why individuals like a decent one is on the grounds that they look alluring, also, cool. Notwithstanding, assuming you have chosen to get a tattoo on your neck, you should contemplate the aggravation you'll go through. Getting tattoos overall is a difficult cycle, and neck tattoos could hurt two times as much since the skin and nerves there are delicate. Since there's very little space to place a tattoo in, contrasted with different spots like the arms and the back, neck tattoo plans are little and straightforward too. Be that as it may, assuming the individual needs a gigantic plan, they can in any case pull out all the stops. As referenced previously, there are a lot of plans and shapes for the neck tattoo.

What tips would you give to today's teenagers?

What tips would you give to today's teenagers?

 
The teenage years are a time to make sure your child is ready for life after high school. You will likely find that your teen can be pretty independent in many ways. But it's also a time when you begin to notice areas that need improvement.

If you notice that your teen is struggling in certain areas, teach them new life skills. And give her plenty of opportunities to exercise responsibility and independence. By focusing on healthy habits now, you can empower your teen to take care of themselves in the future.

If you are a teenager reading this then you are in luck.

Let me give you some advice.

Don't have unprotected sex. You can get pregnant easily, I know, because I've been pregnant before. Always use a condom! Because if you may not be causing disease, please stay healthy.

Work hard. Always keep track of your homework because it is important. You will need all of your credits to complete the degree.

Social media is not worth it. It might be helpful, but in the long run it is not helpful, it will not get you any further in life.

Read. Always read. It doesn't matter what you read, it can be newspapers, books, magazines, or anything you read.

Don't send nudes to anyone. Trust me your pictures can end up online without your permission, so please do not send nudes to anyone.

Respect your parents. Your parents are the only ones who know you better than you do and they will do anything to make you successful. They love you very much so please respect them no matter what.

Always be yourself. You don't have to change for anyone.

Some people are not your friends. The people you call your friends are probably not your real friends, they are probably just using you.

Don't go looking for love. It will come to you.

Keep your grades up. It is really important.


Some of the tasks learned as a teenager include:

  • Do tasks efficiently and correctly at home, at school and at work.
  • To maintain their own personal hygiene and possessions.
  • Show compassion for other people.
  • To be socially responsible in their daily life and online.
  • Control their emotions and interact with people appropriately.
  • Understand that sexual activity can lead to consequences.
  • Dealing with peer pressure situations such as alcohol, smoking and drug use.
  • Adult privileges such as driving a car or having a bank account.
  • Hold a job and work well with others on a team.
  • The ability to make and spend money wisely.

7 Sex Habits To Ditch Before You Turn 30!

7 Sex Habits To Ditch Before You Turn 30!

Bad dating habits — like big, far-fetched dreams or visions of marrying an unavailable man or woman — are hard to let go of. And when it comes to your sex habits, it can be even more difficult to take a long hard look at what you thought was serving you and realize it’s time for an upgrade. While your 20s are all about discovery and laying the foundation for what you hope for in the years to come, your 30s are all about taking what you've learned and making your sex life stronger, both for yourself and for your partner
Apart from the simple goal of making what already feels good feel better, another convincing reason to ditch bad sex habits is how your sexuality peaks in your 30s. “Women become more sexual in their 30s, having more fantasies and even having more sex,” Dr. Melissa Fogel, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist, tells Bustle. “Women have more intense orgasms and are more aware of what their body likes and dislikes. They also tend to be more confident with their own bodies once they reach their 30s. Being confident allows you not to focus on all of those insecurities you have about yourself and just enjoy the sensations and pleasure during sex.”
But to really relish all of the perks of being a sexual being in your 30s, there are some bad sex habits you need to leave in your 20s.

1. Risky Sex




Risky behavior involves sex that’s unprotected or makes you feel awful, whether that entails not using condoms, drinking too much, or having casual sex when you're not into it. It's not the kind of sex you want to be having in your 30s. Fogel says to avoid putting yourself in a situation with "potentially harmful outcomes.”

2. Mimicking A Porn Star in Bed




When you were first starting to have sex, you likely learned from movies (pornographic or not) that when a woman is turned on, she’s loud. But have you considered whether that’s really you when you’re getting hot? Sex expert Coleen Singer tells Bustle that by the time you reach 30, you should be able to own who you are in bed, without sounding like someone you're not. “A steady stream of fake moaning and ‘Oh BABY!’ is what you’ll find on TV, but in most instances, that's simply distracting, quite possibly annoying, and will quickly give you a sore throat!” she says. “Let yourself go. When you are enjoying what is happening, your body will naturally express it.”

3. Being Insecure About Your Body




You’ve figured out by now that nothing is perfect, and that nothing goes as planned. So apply that same logic to whatever makes you insecure in the bedroom. Fogel says that confident women are more desirable and have better sex: "Everyone has those parts of their body that make them insecure, but focusing on [them] is a surefire way to take away from the enjoyment of sex. Just let go, love who you are and enjoy the ride.”

4. Faking Your Orgasms (Most Of The Time)




As you approach the big 3-0, psychotherapist Esther Boykin says that it’s time to make not faking it the rule, not the exception. “Orgasms are one of the few places in life where ‘fake it till you make it’ is never going to work. By now, you are hopefully choosing sexual partners who are invested in your pleasure as much as they are their own. Give them an opportunity to help you reach your happy place, and if it doesn't happen, don't be afraid to share it. Be gentle with your words, and remember that figuring out how to have an orgasm should be as much fun as the orgasm itself.”

5. Naming Your Genitals




Considering you can stand up in front of your entire team and deliver a killer presentation or save up enough money for a two-week trip to Spain, you’re likely mature enough to call your vagina what it is: a vagina. Being squeamish when talking about body parts might have made for a cute game when you were younger, but now, if you’re going to talk about your parts down there (or your partner’s), Singer advises that it’s time to confidently call them what they’re actually medically named.

6. Having Sex When You Don't Really Want To



In your 20s, you might have thought that sex would help bring you closer to someone who maybe didn’t want that to begin with. While sex definitely builds intimacy in a committed, two-way street relationship, using it as a bargaining tool will only continue to disappoint you. That’s why Boykin says that in your 30s, it’s time to really only have sex when you’re fully comfortable with who you’re having sex with.
“Far too often, young women find themselves having sex (fully consensual sex) as a way to create a bond rather than because they are truly in the mood or even ready to fool around. If you haven't already, your 30s are the perfect time to kick the habit of using sex as a way to create a false sense of emotional intimacy,” Boykin says. “Whether you are unsure if he [or she] likes you as much as you like him [or her], or if you're trying to convince yourself to stick with a relationship that looks good on paper but doesn't feel special, sex should no longer be a replacement for genuine emotional attachment.”

7. Not Taking Control

Regardless of why you might hold off from taking the lead in the bedroom — a bad experience from a previous relationship, or not feeling sexy enough to hop on top — as you get older, taking ownership of your sex drive (and your sex life) is not only healthy, but a turn-on for your partner. “As our confidence builds, we are able to shed the shyness we had in our 20s,” Singer says, "which can range from you being the initiator to exploring ways that you can be the dominant from time to time.” And the right partner will want to have equal roles in the bedroom, anyways. Go for it.
