If you’re lactose intolerant and eat dairy ice-cream, does it make you a risk taker? Someone who lives life on the edge?

What's love got to do with it?

It doesn't take too many trips down memory-foam lane with a few badly chosen exes, or the guys you just stopped dating, to realise the past is behind you for a reason. Because lets face it they are just terrible, and how did we forget that? They will never change, and the reason we left is still there, right there. And let's face it we 9 times out of 10 don't tell them the real reason, we say something that will save they're feelings and let them have no accountability. My favourite excuse is "because there was no spark".

Just to get this straight "no spark" can be a number of things such as:

*Bad breath

*No sexual tension

*Never pays for the date

*No dress sense

*Anger and control issues

*Plain weird

or most popular in my case

*simply just an ass hole

Yet a few wines deep, once in a blue moon we bravely decide to dip a toe in the rejection pool. Is it because we get lonely? Overly optimistic? Or momentarily stupid? Either way, it's safe to say, I've done my fair share of dunking in the last couple weeks. And it's got me thinking, the whole you can't love anyone until you love yourself cliche, is it actually true? Do we start settling because we need someone to love us? But it never really scratches the itch does it? So to quote and answer the big question posed by one of the most fabulous women of the 90s "what's love got to do with it?" Unless it's about loving you, it has absolutely nothing to do with it!

Well I'm making a stand, no more not loving me! I am starting my journey to happiness, real wake up smiling, warm fuzzy, singing at the top of your lungs (sober) happiness. I'm turning 24 this year and by that time i would like to have a few things checked off my self improvement list. So first on my self-refurbish to-do list, losing some weight and getting my perfect body. I've attacked this with a new diet plan and daily plan.

It starts as soon as i wake up, wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!
