Any Cosmo Girl would know...

I don't know why but I saw this Cosmo Magazine thing on MSN.com today and for some reason it made me laugh and grabbed my attention. I'm not sure if it's cause I'm sick and delirious or the fact that I'll be 27 next week and my sense of humor is becoming a little twisted with age. This made me immediately think of Legally Blonde for some reason....so in my best Elle Woods voice, "Things any Cosmo Girl would know"!

Cosmo suggests some steps to do in 30 days to apparently snag your next boyfriend. These things seem pretty basic, but for some reason I'm intrigued to put Cosmo to the test. So lets see how many of these steps I can get through in the next 30 days and if I'm actually gonna land myself a boyfriend.....

Some of these may have to be skipped or tweeked a bit considering I am in a foreign country where I don't speak the native language and I'm no longer in a corporate environment, so no business cards to pass out.

According to Cosmo the 1st step is getting the word out.... so friends here you have it. I'm single and ready to mingle....LOL!

Here's the link to Cosmo's steps.

Step 2: Own Your Self Confidence
My Mantra: It can't hurt to try! :)

Step 3: Practice a Sultry Smile
Is this sultry enough?!
Step 4: Hang with a Wing-Woman
Ok I've got that covered. My newly appointed wing-woman is my roommate Shoshana.
Me and my wing-woman


So Cosmo's challenge didn't really work.... I don't have boyfriend or a prospect for a boyfriend. All I got out of this was a crazy Israeli guy named Cobra, that won't leave me alone. I met him while I was sitting outside. I don't live in the same city as my alma mater anymore so I networked by responding to Overseas Student Events at my current university. I practiced smiling, I was flirtatious and friendly and well not much manifested..... I didn't meet anyone worth asking out or being bold enough to give my number to so I'll keep this in my back pocket and see if anything materializes later on.

C'est la vie in Tel Aviv!

I decided to begin blogging after a friend of mine suggested it when I announced I'd be leaving Atlanta, GA after 9 years and move to Tel Aviv, Israel for grad school. This will be a way for my friends and family to see what I'm up to and keep in touch with me. For those that know me best I don't think they were surprised by my decision to move to Israel. I'm a pretty adventurous girl and I'm always up for taking the road less travelled. I consider my decision to move to Israel an act of divine intervention. For the past couple of years Israel has been at the top of my travel list, along with a few other countries in the Middle East. Also, I went back to school last summer after 4 years in public accounting. I decided that it was time for a career change. I wanted to work with children and I have lots of interest in psychology so I went back to complete my bachelors degree in psychology. I actually turned in my last assignment for the completion of my requirem...

Stress Kills!

Earlier this year one of my professors said something in class that has stuck with me ever since. She said that people usually find psychology because they are trying to understand themselves. We usually are trying to understand a problem that we've defined in our own lives rather than something that we specifically see or want to understand about others. This statement was an "Ah ha" moment for me, as Oprah would say. I really began to reflect on if this was true for me and it definitely was. My interest in psychology was very personal. I didn't grow up in what would be considered a normal family structure and growing up it led to some internal struggles for myself that I eventually had to learn to come to terms with and become aware of and face as best I could. I'm specifically interested in stress and anxiety disorders. I am really interested in the effects on children. Growing up I felt alone in trying to understand the areas of my childhood that I didn...
