The Language of Love

We can all agree that life is short. In life we are expected to find at least one person to love and with only but a handful of years to do it. A wise man would say don't waste your time living someone else's life. Today we can are easily by distracted by economics, doubt and bitterness we easily lose track of what matters; the love of our friends, families and the special person you want to spend the most time with in your life. If you have found that person remember that your time is limited don't waste and don't forget to remind them how much you love them because at the end of the day unconditional love is what really matters. Money, fame and materialistic things cannot fulfill the feeling of being loved. And that's exactly why we'd like to you show you this video about love and the many languages of love. +JG:PG for TODOSLifestyle +July 2012

Mothering Day

Today we celebrate and dedicate this day to the most important person of our life, our Mother or to other cultures Μαμά, 妈妈, Maman and मां . The person who brought us to life and nurtured us, who was there when we took our first steps and told us off when we misbehaved. The day belongs to that person and we honor them for doing so in many ways possible. Handing over a gift and giving a hug is ample enough for the day though we must not forget that this day does not only celebrate the individual but the acts of fostering that have seen us through our life and will take care of us no matter what the future holds. So take the day to remind yourself of all acts and people that have looked after you, that have brought you up, that have treated you with care and love and have mothered you to become the individual you are today. We have our mother to thank for being alive and we have the act of mothering to thank for still being here. Alex Kosmas for TODOSLifestyle +May 2012 

There is only one mirror in the world that hides my faults and accents my beauties, the reflection of me in the depth of my mother’s eyes! happy mother’s day. +Soodeh Nezam for TODOSLifestyle +May 2012

Mad Men, a show for everyone

_Mad Men shows us why we're all human. Why we sometimes like debauchery, sex, and risk rather than restraint, caution, and better judgement. Most importantly it does this with style. Class just oozes out from the show's script, personalities, and directing. There is something here for everyone; for the girls it shows how your predecessors struggled with the prejudice against women everywhere they turned in the 1960's. For the men this show is a tutorial on how to dress, carry yourself around women, and how to be successful. The fifth season is about to start so if you haven't seen the first four catch up before March 25th, and watch a four time consecutive winner for Best Series take you through 1960's New York.
