Quotes 15 Encouraging Quotes For The Single 5:16 PM While waiting for the right person to arrive, you may get weary and bored. You may even get discouraged and decide to just settle for whoever is available. I always say, being single is easy. It is dealing with the judgmental and meddling society that is hard. Not everyone will understand your decision to stay single. I gathered 15 encouraging quotes for the single out there to help you get through this stage. Those who are single by choice and are happy about it are admirable. It's not easy being alone especially when you are surrounded by twosomes who are too caught up in their own worlds to care about the existence of other people around them. Giphy So here are some words of encouragement to my single ladies (and men) who are enjoying their freedom, while waiting for the right person who will change their lives forever. 15 Encouraging Quotes for the Single 1. Personally, I think if a woman hasn’t met the right man by the time she’s 24, she may be lucky. -Oprah Giphy 2. It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you. -Unknown Finding the person right for you is indeed difficult. I will not gloss over it. But it won't kill you. It will only make you wiser and stronger. You will learn what you can and cannot allow or tolerate. The best way to deal with this stage in your life is to enjoy it. Go on dates. Join productive activities. Serve a ministry. Be out there. Having said that, don't take yourself too available for everyone. Protect yourself from abusive people. Let go of toxic relationships. It's when you let go of the wrong people in your life that you make space for the right ones. Wifflegif 3. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. -Timothy Oliveira There is no such thing as a perfect lover or a perfect relationship. That is because there is no perfect person. But you can still make your relationship work. How? By simply working on it! Make a decision to love your partner every day. Even when there are times it is quite challenging to do so. Love is not just a feeling. Love is a decision. Don't wait for the perfect lover. Work on making your love perfectly imperfect. Together. Giphy 4. Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her". -Harry Tottszer Giphy 5. Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session. -Brandi Snyder Giphy 6. Finding love is like finding shoes. People go after the good-looking ones, but they end up choosing the one they feel comfortable with. -Unknown Author Tumblr 7. The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before. -Good Will Hunting Maybe you're taking people for granted. Maybe you don't realize how blessed you are because things are going your way. Don't curse the bad times. Don't avoid the hardships. They're there to make you appreciate what you have. Don't despair that you're still single. Some people are praying for what you have right now. Imgur 8. Love is not about finding the right person but creating the right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end. -Unknown You see couples so in love and happy and think they have it all together. You assume their relationship is a bed of roses. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not. Happy couples are happy because they went through hell and high waters and survived. What didn't destroy them made them stronger. They are happy because they went through pain and emerged better. They are victorious together. Giphy 9. If you like someone, tell him, because you might find out that they like you too. -Unknown There's no harm in trying! It's normal to like someone. Don't let an opportunity pass you by. You will regret what you didn't do. Don't let 'what if?' haunt you until your old age. Giphy 10. We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. -Sam Keen Gifimage 11. He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. -Bob Marley Giphy 12. You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth. -Unknown Gifimage 13. For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. -Ivan Panin Tumblr 14. From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being. -Unknown Giphy Some of the people who are pushing you to date may be well-meaning friends. But don't give in to peer pressure. If you feel that there's something wrong with the decision you're about to make, follow your gut. If you see red flags on the person you're dating, don't turn a blind eye. It will not go away. Discern. Pray. Never lower your standards. Never compromise your non-negotiables. The person that's meant for you will come at the perfect time. Trust me. I've been there. I was waiting for what seemed like forever. In my waiting, I stayed calm. I rest on God's promise. I enjoyed my time alone and spent time with the people who matter to me. Trust God's timing. Don't stop believing in love. It's a wonderful feeling to fall in love. 15. Keep falling in love with the idea of love. Don't let your past hurts taint the way you see love. When you feel like the enemy is trying to dampen your spirits again, remember that only God can satisfy you fully. Don't seek happiness from another. Happiness is an inside job. And when you can't find encouragement anywhere, come back to these 15 encouraging quotes for the single. It will remind you of how awesome it is to be where you are right now and look forward to the next chapter of your life.

You can have your pumpkin pie and eat it too!Here are 4 great ways to stay motivated and to help you shift your mindset into fitness this fall. 1. Take time to enjoy the scenery. Crisp air, autumn leaves falling, the thought of pumpkin carving and apple picking… Fall is an intoxicating time of year! What better way to get a jump start on your exercise than by enjoying the outdoors? Plus, it makes it easier later on when the weather gets MUCH colder to work out outdoors if you have gotten your body adjusted to the cooler temps. Remember that it gets darker earlier. So if you’re running outside after work, for example, make sure you wear some sort of light-reflecting clothing. 2. Make a commitment. Fall is a reigning champion of fun-themed runs, costumed runs, and Turkey Trots. It goes on forever. Making a commitment by registering for a run is a great way to motivate and lock yourself into a fitness plan this fall. Not only will you be already signed up, but you’ll also want to get training beforehand - which means you’ll need to get running. Be sure to train in conditions similar to the actual event, which probably means you’ll need to follow the tip above and run outside. If you still feel like you’re struggling to get moving, here’s a great list of motivational strategies for you to try. 3. Turn your TV binge into a workout opportunity. There’s no debate about it - fall television is king! It’s so easy to get lost binge-watching the newest season of our favorite shows that we leave ourselves no time to get in any form of exercise. But there’s an easy, convenient way to get yourself off the couch. Throw in some squats with your Stranger Things! Seriously, an episode is a great length of time to get in a good core workout. You can even make commercial breaks your time to do quick moves like push-ups or a plank. 4. Take advantage of fitness apps. So much knowledge is already in the palm of our hands. Use your smartphones to start on the road to a healthier you.

But meeting someone you're compatible with can be quite challenging especially since people are busy building their empires nowadays. There are also single parents who got no time to date or meet people as they're juggling being both a mom and a dad and being their own person.The chances of having that eye-to-eye special connection seem unachievable now.This is where dating sites and apps come in. Here are 6 good reasons why you should consider using top adult dating websites like Adult Friend Finder. Check out this adult friend finder review. 6 Good Reasons Why Adult Friend Finder is the Top Adult Dating Website 1. Getting started is easyOnline dating is a good solution for busy bees who want to meet people.Create an eye-catching online profile.Adult Friend Finder makes it easy to control the types of people you want to be connected with.You just need to log in and give out a little information about yourself and the rest should be easy. 2. No rushYou can meet people at your own pace. When you're just meeting people online, you can go out whenever you want to or just stay home to chat.You can disconnect and spend time with yourself without anyone bothering you.You're free to take it slow if you're not ready to meet up yet. 3. There's freedomIt's easier to pick the next person you want to be with. And you're free to decide if you want to meet up or move on to your next prospect. It's free to browse through profiles and there's no limit to seeing people with different religious beliefs or locations. 4. Better matchesThe better you create your profile the higher your chances of meeting a good matchProvide small information about yourself, and the site will try and match you with great potential dates. When you randomly meet someone at a social event, you'd take time to get to know them---do they drink, smoke, what are their hobbies and interests, and the like. With dating sites, this information is readily available (as long as they disclose it) when you check their profiles. In Adult Friend Finder, for example, pet lovers will be matched with another fur parent. This means that you're going to meet someone with the same interests easily.There are also dating websites now for vegans or eco-conscious individuals. Check out VeggieConnection.com for vegetarians, vegans, raw-foodists, fruitarians, and macrobiotics seeking romance and friends/activity-pals. 5. Chance to meet new people Gaining a new friend is a cool thing but it's challenging to meet new people when you've just moved into a new place. This is also true for finding a partner. You can't rely on your friend setting you up with their friends all the time.Online dating gives you an opportunity to meet people who aren’t part of your social circle (school, work, or community). 6. Transparency Online adult dating websites usually try to make their platform more transparent. Though catfishing is rampant, you're not allowed to use some dating platforms without a proper user profile. This is to keep away spammers and to help keep the community safe. Conclusion Everyone dreams of finding true love and meeting their better half. Since finding adult friends online or meeting "the one" could be time-consuming and challenging, some people end up settling down with just anyone. You should first try online dating if you're not having luck with face-to-face dates to explore more options. Check out adult dating sites before you give up on your quest to find love. It could be your chance to find your soulmate and have a happy love life.Gifs from Trending GifsThis post contains affiliate links so I'd get a commission if you purchase through my links at no additional cost to you.

Home 5 Simple Tips To Keep Your Home Fresh 8:27 AM 5 Simple Tips to Keep Your Home Fresh If your home is clean, you don’t just see it. You smell it. Your home should be your safe haven where you can leave your worries outside the door, relax, breathe, and carpe diem. It should not be reduced to a dwelling place where you eat and sleep. Instead, your home should be your little oasis. But how can you relax at home if you not only see grime and dust but also smell it in the air? Ugh.With your busy schedule, you can’t find the time to clean.My house never smells fresh!Is that your constant complaint? Don’t fret. Here are 5 fresh-smelling home tips you can follow. 1. Dispose of the things you don’t need.Keep the things you NEED and eliminate the items just gathering dust. To make it easy and fast, get 3 boxes. Label them: Throw, Give, and Keep.The lesser stuff you have, the easier it is to clean and organize. A minimalist home makes it easy to move around. When you see clutter, it signals to your brain: There’s chaos!So, you can’t get that fresh, relaxing feeling. Dispose of your unnecessary stuff to keep your house looking neat. This can give you more space for your house to breathe. Follow the Marie Kondo process of disposing of clutter: If it doesn’t spark joy, let it go. Giphy 2. Add greens.Get an indoor plant for your home. Plants are nice and refreshing to look at and help keep the air clean and fresh by producing much-needed oxygen. When choosing a potted plant, consider these things: Size. Will it be too large for your space? Maintenance. Will it thrive indoors? How often do you need to water it? How much time in the sun is required? Aesthetics. Will it go with your interior? Most people opt for bonsai or succulents because they’re smaller. They don’t take up much space, and they’re cute too. Others create their own vertical garden planting their favorite herbs. This is both creative and sustainable. This is a practical way of decorating and keeping your house green and healthy while creating a fresher atmosphere. Adding fresh herbs for cooking makes the food taste better. Gifer 3. CAYGOClean As You Go. This is especially helpful for people with busy schedules who can’t find the time for cleaning. Instead of piling up chores and putting off what is needed tomorrow (which always gets postponed anyway), why not develop a system where you don’t pile up your to-dos? Clean the dishes and kitchenware right after cooking and eating. That way, there’s always a clean plate waiting for you during mealtime.Wipe water spills on the floor. Clean the bathroom after using it.Most importantly, take out the garbage regularly. Garbage left inside for several days or more can make the house smell filthy. It could attract insects and pests, a whole new set of problems. Keep your home smelling fresh by emptying your trash bins regularly. MakeaGIF 4. Add fragrance.How can I make my house smell good all the time?The answer: Scented candles and potpourris can give your home a sweet smell anytime. If you had a long day, whiff some lavender to stay calm. Wild orange, Cedarwood, and Frankincense can give you that warm Autumn-like feeling. Fir or pine scent if you want to be reminded of Christmas, even in August. It’s your home. You create your own kind of world however you like. The bottom line is that it gives you that fresh aroma that transports you into your own realm. A simple life hack: simmer water, add lemon slices and herbs (preferably mint), and inhale the smell of freshness. It will keep your home literally smelling fresh. You’re welcome. Giphy 5. Clean the air.How to keep your home smelling fresh?Remove the unpleasant smell of dust and dirt by cleaning your windows, air vents, fans, or AC unit. Get an air purifier. Pet hair, pollen, dust, smoke odors, and home construction particles could hang in the air and pollute it. Air purifiers cycle the air in the room and remove these contaminants so you can breathe cleaner, fresher air. This is extremely helpful to people who are sensitive to smell and suffer from environmental allergies. Families with newborn babies especially opt for a high-quality air purifier because they are more sensitive and susceptible to air-borne diseases.Keep your home ventilated, and make sure the air circulating is clean. Giphy If your home is clean, you don’t just see it; you smell it. It doesn’t end in a spotless exterior. Even those that are not visible to the eyes, like the air, should also be clean and fresh.
