Valentine's Day is coming -- and store aisles (and restaurant ads) are practically shouting at you that heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and expensive roast duck dinners for two are the components of a romantic evening. We all know that's not true for everyone, but now comes the hard part-actually figuring out what is romantic in time for your Valentine's Day date.

Keep things personalized 
In other words, be thoughtful. The most romantic thing you can do is show that you know the person you're in a relationship with and act on that knowledge. Maybe the best night your girlfriend could dream of is to get drunk on margaritas and go home for sex. So why take her for a steak dinner? Maybe he loves cooking, and you don't care for it, but you spring for the sushi making class anyway. A dozen red roses might be romantic in Hollywood, but it wont mean a thing to the girl who loves lilies, just like an expensive watch won't woo the guy who doesn't like to wear one.

Take charge 
Planning the date together is a great way to create more bonding time and to make sure everyone's expectations are met. But if you haven't agreed to do that, the last thing you want to do is wait until the last minute and ask, "What do you want to do tonight?" Taking charge and having a plan means that you've put some thought into it. Even if it's just an out of the way snow cone shack or your favorite BYOB Vietnamese restaurant, it takes the burden off the other person to come up with something fun to do and it reveals a little more about you.

Remember that less is more 
More stuff isn't necessary more romantic. You could stuff 100 pens into a vase for your girlfriend who's a writer, or ship 20 boxes of her favorite cookie to her apartment, but what is she really going to do with that? Lots of gifts doesn't signify a lot more love-in fact, it sometimes means the opposite-and it can pressure her to show gratitude in a way she isn't comfortable with. A date doesn't have to have five elaborate parts and a horse-drawn carriage to make an impact. Write a heart-felt note, buy the one ice cream sundae (better for sharing) and light only one candle, if you have to have candles at all.

Attracting a man is not rocket science. Attracting the RIGHT one however can be a little trickier. 
1. Be a Piggy for Your Pleasure 

Men consistently confide what attracts them to a woman is her ability to receive pleasurable experiences. Sadly, most modern women have taken ON doing so much, they're unhappy and burnt out- unwittingly repelling potential mates. If this is you, create some down time this weekend and make a list of what clearly brings you joy AND what no longer brings you joy in your life. Proceed to Step 2. 

2. Create Your Want List and Publish It 

After assessing your list, see what you're willing to delete for good and send it on its merry way. Then, all that you still want to have, but don't necessarily have a desire to produce for yourself anymore, goes on your Want List. On a fresh page, write at the top: (Your Name) _______'s Want List and list out all the things you would love to have, but don't want to produce for yourself. Then, Post it on your fridge (not stuffed in a drawer!) Proceed to Step 3. 

3. Ask and You WILL Receive
 

If you really want to show the Universe you mean business, take ONE item from your Want List and ask a man in your life (neighbor/friend/family member) to produce it for you. Maybe you need a toaster fixed, your walk shoveled or you want a male with you to shop for a new car. Whatever it is, pick a guy you feel comfortable asking and go for it! 

This exercise serves 2 purposes. First, eliminating aspects of your life that no longer bring you joy will create space for something better to come in (like a man!) Secondly, getting in the habit of asking men to do things for you instantly activates the energy of RECEIVING - behavior that is very attractive to men. 

Continue to take at least one item from your list every week and assign it to a man in your life. Why do I want you to post it on your fridge? You never know who will be coming over who will want to produce something for you!

Hi Etrewsian,

Today, I'm gonna share and teach you a step by step procedure on "How to create your own tag category on Tumblr". Let me just say that I just want to share what I did, I'm not a professional in terms of HTML and CSS codes or whatever they call it. I had a hard time finding a solution for that on my case and I google always to find it but still can't find it! Until one day I just figure out myself.

Ok! Let's Start.... 
This is how it looks like when done:
I have a single column theme on my tumblr so I put it before the Footer tag. But if you have two column theme on your tumblr just look for the sidebar on your HTML then put it after all the codes in there, some may put before the Latest Tweet tag of their sidebar.
Here we go
First Log in to Tumblr.
click the images for a much larger view

Click the Title of your Tumblr.

#text {
      position: relative;
      width: 50px;
      height: 20px;
      margin: auto;
      font-size: 20px;
      top: 15px;
      right: 9px;
      text-align: center;
                                                                    }
                                                                    .mytagged {
                                                                         position: relative;
                                                                         text-align: center;
                                                                         margin; auto;
                                                                         font-size: 14px;
                                                                         bottom: 5px;
                                                                    }
                                                                    .mytagged a:hover {
                                                                         color: #ffafbe;
                                                                    }

      </div>
</div>
