Girls night out. Swedish style.

Swedish girls say "Klackarna i taket," a Swedish phrase which translates to "heels hit the roof." This means that you're going to paint the town red and have a great time. And that is precisely what we did. ;)

2012 Defined.

2012 is the year of Expression. From its information overload on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, etc., to its extremely bright and colorful clothing trends, this year is all about expressing yourself to the 100th degree!

Which brings me to my next question, when did it become such a crime to let someone know how you feel? 

For Guys

Embrace your sensitive side and realize that there is more to life than your pride and reputation. I guarantee you will make some major breakthroughs. It might be with a specific lady friend, that you just can't seem to see you outside the "friend zone?" Perhaps it is a family member that you're always too afraid to open up to? Or maybe even your partner that you are with right now? Let them in more. Trust that the passion and love will grow stronger.

Don't know how to start? Open up your bubble to things that will allow you to learn how to express yourself. Maybe watch a show like Sex and the City. Don't laugh, I will tell you why! Because this show is about relationships, and communicating. If anything, you might learn a few more things about what women want. Don't worry if your embarrassed. Your "sensitive side" will remain a secret between us girls. ;)

For Girls

I feel like the "modern day woman" has gone from what was once soft delicate woman and has mutated into this battling knight-tress covered in armor to protect her heart and feelings from ever being hurt, or quite possibly, from even being seen. Honestly, its sad. One of the qualities that make women most beautiful is their emotions. Ladies, I say put down your iron gate, and allow others to see your sensitive interior again. What have you got to lose? The way I see it, you could live covered in armor that is constantly dragging you  down and hiding you, or you can choose to express yourselves fully this year. 

For All

Don't be afraid to let people into your lives. And not to be morbid, but you could actually die tomorrow. So before you second guess yourself or get scared, go and tell those who matter to you that you love them. Express yourself.
