Men vs The Law of Attraction

The other day I was talking to my cousin and she was telling me how she thought that her friend was very unfair to her husband. She continues to describe how her friend's husband gave her friend flowers for Valentine's, got her chocolates, a watch, took her to dinner and bought her a perfume. Her friend was livid because the husband had bought her a perfume she specifically had mentioned months before that she did NOT like. She was failing to see all the good things that he had done for her and concentrated on the one thing that he did wrong.
My cousin told her friend that her husband had completely forgotten about Valentine's day, and that she has learned from experience that every single time her husband asks her for something she likes, he ALWAYS ends up buying the one thing she specifically said she did NOT like.
I told Karla that this phenomenon sounds a lot a like the Law of Attraction, because it is said that the Law of Attraction does not understand the words, NO, Not, Don't. So if you say I don't want to get sick, the message received is: I want to get sick and the same applies to anything.  The way to get what you want is by asking for what you want.
I want to get this perfume as a gift.
I want to stay healthy.
I want those earrings that we saw at the store.

If you find yourself relating to this situation, I want to hear about it. And the next time you see yourself saying I don't want this and that, ask yourself. What do I WANT? Ask and ye shall receive!

Looking for Beautiful Things

Today I did something I have never done before. I sat on the couch with a copy of InStyle magazine. A magazine that those who know me personally would never catch me reading, EVER. But here I am, with a full year free subscription to this style mag courtesy of my boss' wife without her knowledge. You see, my boss told me to pay for his wife's subscriptions to House Beautiful and InStyle Magazine. He gave me the renewal form and told me to make a check and mail it out, just like I do with all his bills. I noticed that both magazines had a "Holiday Special. Renew Today and get two subscriptions for the price of one. One for you and one for a friend. Just fill out your friend's information and we will send them a gift subscription at no extra cost to you." Perfect. I second guessed myself for a few seconds and proceeded to give myself a free gift on her behalf.

I Love Magazines. I have tons of magazines in my home. Waiting to be read or weeded out. I subscribe to Oprah, and Parents and Family Circle, Latina, Us Weekly, etc. and most of them I got for free. I only pay for Oprah magazine as she is an inspiration and role model for me. But InStyle magazine is not one to catch my attention normally. I am not into fashion and mostly wear jeans, black sneakers or boots, and a plain shirt that I buy in every color of the rainbow so as to give the impression that I wear something different every day, even though is the same exact thing just in a different color. So why InStyle? First of all it was free and second of all I remembered the words of my boss saying "My wife is into fashion, she is always wearing whatever is in Style" and a vision of his wife came into my head and how beautiful she is and how it would be nice if I looked as beautiful and fashionable as her.

Today I opened my mailbox and saw my first issue of InStyle magazine, and this magazine is HUGE. It's 500 pages of mostly pictures. As I stared at the cover and felt the weight in my arms I remembered something I read in a book about how surrounding yourself with beautiful things attracts beautiful things to you. So I carried the mag home sat in the couch and went on a scavenger hunt for beautiful things. I remembered the pile of about 100 magazines I have hidden under a table and how I have vowed to weed through them only tearing out the articles I'm interested in and recycling the rest, and thought that if only I weeded out the magazine as soon as I looked at it the first time, I would have no need to go back and check it a second time saving me the hassle. So I did, I tore out through the magazine pulling out only the pictures of things that I thought were beautiful so I can make my own beautiful things book and attract all things beautiful to myself back.

Are there any quirky things you do to make yourself feel more pretty?
