Stale Relationships: 5 Reasons to Break Up





If you’ve been trying to build some real connections—romantic or otherwise—and feel isolated despite your best efforts, it might be time for a change of scenery. Here are five reasons to break up that are signs you might be ready to move on for the sake of developing new relationships.
1. Fair-Weather Friends
You’ve got a group of friends who are fun to be around and happy to join you for a good time, but is there someone you can call when things fall apart? Evaluate your friendships and think about who you’d rely on if you were in a difficult situation. If the list is too short, perhaps it’s time to branch out.
2. Consistent Loneliness
There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely. If you’re enduring painful stretches of loneliness, it’s probably time for some new scenery. Moving to a new town might be lonely at first, too. But in discovering new places, you can also make new connections with people who are looking for the same things.
3. Limited Resources
If you come from a smaller town or city, you know what it’s like for everyone to know your name—and that might not always be a good thing. Sometimes seeing all the same faces in all the same places gets stale, especially if you’re looking for romance. Agreeing to go on a blind date with someone only to discover you’ve been out with him before (and it didn’t work out) might be a sign that you’re in need of a fresh dating pool.
4. Serious Heartache
Sometimes a failed relationship can leave marks not only on your heart, but everywhere around you. That coffee shop reminds you of him. That restaurant will always been the restaurant where she told you she loved you. That park is the park where you shared your first kiss. If you can’t seem to escape the pain of the breakup after a long period of time, start packing. There’s nothing like a new place, a new city, and a whole new life to help you get over the hurdle.
5. A Gamble on Love
Maybe you met someone who’s from another town—be it 45 minutes away or across the country and there’s something about this person you just can’t resist. Maybe any one of the previous four signs applies to you and you don’t have a lot to lose by leaving it all behind. Or, maybe you have everything to lose, but this person is just that special. If the feelings are mutual, it might be time to take a leap. Sometimes following your heart to a new city is a gamble that truly pays off in the end.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems. Turmeric has been found to help fight off inflammation with almost the same efficacy as anti-inflammatory medication, just without the side effects. 2. It improves brain function and helps prevent Alzheimer's Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a type of growth hormone in the brain that improves brain function. Decreased levels of BDNF have been linked to brain diseases like Alzheimer's, therefore turmeric consumption helps boost levels of BDNF, in turn boosting brain function. 3.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
