Do Men Like Vivacious Women?

Fabulous, bubbly and of course, VIVACIOUS!

This seems to be the question of the hour!  There have been numerous readers asking for us to expand on this very statement.  So we figured that Friday (being the end of the week, start of the week and a fabulous day altogether) would be a perfect time to address this!  So here's our take on the matter!  Don't worry, it will take several posts to fully discuss this topic.  Here's a bit of teaser to get you thinking.

If you didn't know this there was a movie created in 1938 named "Vivacious Lady".  How fabulous is that?  It stars Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart and it isn't exactly on the same level as "A Wonderful Life", but the name grabs your attention, right?

Why do men like vivacious women?

~ A vivacious woman will ooze with confidence, as she is always optimistic, loves life and flirts with risk.

~ This type of woman dresses with an air of sophistication, elegance, class, but with an underlying level of mystery.

~ A vivacious woman will make a man keep guessing, and always wanting more.

~ A vivacious woman can be a bubbly, out-going and an extremely social person, but she can also be a woman of few words but many looks.  It won't take much for this type of woman to catch the male eye when walking into a room.

~ A vivacious woman knows how to get the job done (whether in the business world or in her personal life), but she never walks over people, talks over people, refuses assistance when needed and most definitely accepts the advice of her man.

~ This type of woman knows how to keep her man happy, whether it's with food, humor, passion or love!

"You Can't Take It With You"

Written By: Ooh La La (Danielle Marie)

Those of you who are lovers of old movies I'm sure the title of this blog post brought back memories of Jimmy Stewart, Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore and of course the amazing Director, Frank Capra, but for those of you who haven't seen the movie (or play) go rent it!  No excuses just because it's in black and white, that's what makes it even more endearing. 

"The film is about a man from a family of rich snobs who becomes engaged to a woman from a good-natured but decidedly eccentric family." ~Wikipedia

The moral of the movie is to learn that life is short, do what you love, enjoy what you do and money isn't the be all end all.  Somehow we always make it through, the good times and even the bad times!  Unfortunately, so many of us waste too much time worrying about money and only focusing our energies on material items, which in the end doesn't make us happy or fulfill those empty voids.

How much do we rely on material items, instead of time with family, friends and experiences?

Do we work only to provide extravagant items, or do we work because we have a passion, a love for what we do? If you don't have that passion, or enjoy your career, then find one you do!  You may be surprised how much more successful you will be at something you love, because now you put your whole heart and soul into it!

Now I'm not saying that beautiful items are not fun to have and enjoy, but don't let them be your undoing!  Because in the end, "you can't take it with you".

When was the last time you told your parents you love them?
How often do you give your children hugs and kisses instead of yelling?
When was the last time you held your spouse's hand? (you better not say since you were dating!)
Are you generous with the material gifts you have been given?  Would you give the coat on your back for someone in need?
When was the last time you took a family or couple vacation and spent quality time together?
How often do you volunteer your time at a nursing home, church, a homeless shelter or to a friend or lonely neighbor?

So, Word To The Wise... Love life, do what you love, care for others and be generous, because remember, "You Can't Take It With You"!
