There has been ample research into the science of the elusive lsquoperfect first date' and researchers have amassed some useful advice to ensure a seamless night and stellar first impression. Positive body language is a key to any successful first date and can say as much as any words. The better you are able to communicate, the more you will engage the other person and help the two of you to click. Animated and proactive gestures are a great way of showing interest and communicating to your date that you're having a good time. Similarly, reserved body language can exacerbate any awkwardness. Try not to close yourself off and give physical indications of any nerves. Whilst this may seem hard, if you're aware of it, you can try to avoid it until a confident posture feels more natural https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/non-awkward-first-date/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/15da07ed3607c94c70b6d9e6b2c72f055d5b32a82be8ff88c7eea2b60b657b11.jpeg This Is How You Can Enjoy Your First Date The Heartbreaking Story of True Love Love is a tricky, abstract concept to define. There are no rules to it. Being in love is like the most twisting and turning rollercoaster you've ever been on as it throws you in so many different directions at the same time. What's certain about love is that feeling in the chest that you simply can't be without that person. You want to spend every moment you can with them. That's just how Fred Gilland feels about his wife Janice - even though she died in 2010. Fred visited his wife's grave in Tennessee every single day between her burial and 2017. He has said quite simply that he loved her from the first moment he saw her and that there is nothing else he would rather do until the time comes when he is buried in the same plot. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/non-awkward-first-date/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/60d5abdf45a7d53ff82c4d0eeab3fae8972e0ba7b1b92292a84d4d408cd88c82.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/hostel-packing-rules/ Follow These Hostel Packing Rules for a Fun Time Booking a Hostel? Use These Packing Tips A cheap and easy way to travel is to use hostels in different cities. Practically every city has at least one hostel, from Dubai to Dublin. You can find super cheap ones where you share a room with up to 24 people, or more luxurious hostels with rooms for less people and facilities like a pool and onsite restaurant. Essentially, you are just renting a bed, but it's a great place to meet new people and travel on a budget. It must be said that hostels are not for everyone. If you expect someone to take your bags when doing check-in and you need several suitcases wherever you go, then you likely won't like it. However, if you're someone that likes to get out, explore and only bring what you need, then you will love hostels. There's a sense of adventure and camaraderie at most of them, and if you're happy with no frills then you'll be delighted. Of course, some people want to travel on a budget and use hostels but struggle with their packing. Here's some tips on what to pack for an easy experience. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/hostel-packing-rules/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/6f6bf7f8803f04946c79f5b4a415b08b084bdd88cf02471a219b5447ae4cf596.jpeg Follow These Hostel Packing Rules for a Fun Time Have a Look at This Hotel's Crazy Design The Crazy Design of Hotel Marqueacutes de Riscal If you have ever admired architect Frank Gehry's work, then you'll probably want to stay at the Hotel Marqueacutes de Riscal.

From this, the agency builds a profile for you and selects accommodation that they think you will like.

It began as the carpenter's celebration of the arrival of spring when they would burn the parrots (wooden pieces) that held their lights up during the winter. This festival of art combines tradition and the Valencian sense of irony in a unique spectacle that envelopes the whole city for 19 days and makes Valencia a great place to visit during this time. Huge paper-macirccheacute figures are created by artists from the city, and these line the streets during the festivities. After being judged and awarded, at the end of the festival, every single one is burned to the ground. Each day of the festival at 2 pm a fireworks show takes place at the Plaza de Ayuntamiento in the center of the city. Grab some food or drinks from the many trucks that pop up and enjoy the show.

The truth is that art can be much simpler, or indeed more complicated. It can be made of many textures and colors, and sometimes none at all. Brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin attended art school separately, with one heading to Zurich and the other to Berlin. However, they have come back together to create art, and share a studio on the top floor of a factory that once housed textiles.

Following his daughter's unfortunate incident at school, doting father Ben Soward went to touching lengths to comfort his daughter by embarrassing himself in equal measure. The incident began when Ben received a call from his wife Connie telling him that their young daughter Valerie, 6, was very upset after accidentally wetting herself at school. The thoughtful father's first concern was doing anything he could to alleviate his daughter's embarrassment. Before heading to the school to collect her, Ben poured water down his own trousers so that Valerie would have someone to share her embarrassment with. As they left school, both in the same boat, Ben asked Valerie if he could borrow her bag to cover up his mishap. This touching gesture shown by a caring father worked a treat, and shortly after, any feeling of embarrassment was replaced with laughter and smiles. Valerie's older sister was also moved by her dad's actions and spoke about the situation in an interview with ABC 10. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/best-dad-toilet-accident/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/46ef74db93fc481c2aaaa5fd0c149c3bf5256a59d0d1514904e88c768364ea52.jpeg This Dad Did an Amazing Thing for His Young Daughter This Young Human Shows What Girl Power Is A Feminist at Five Oozing innocence and cuteness, kids, cats, and dogs have long dominated the world of viral internet videos.

Sometimes, going out for dinner or coffee can be a stressful affair if you know that the restaurant does not ethically source its meat nor do they try to recycle where possible. For many, these situations may be all too familiar. If that's you or you are looking to associate yourself with companies that are more environmentally friendly, consider seeking establishments that try to minimize their impact on the environment. The coffee industry has been rapidly growing over the last years across the world, spurred on by a strong coffee culture. This has also shone the spotlight on the waste created by this industry.

The Secret To Looking Half Your Age The pursuit of youth is one that has kept us occupied for centuries. We don't like admitting that we're getting older and so we want to go back to a time when we were fresher, purer, and more innocent. We'll try almost anything to achieve this. From living a lifestyle that a nun might consider to be lsquorestrictive' to eating the blandest, additive-free foods or smearing all kinds of concoctions on our faces, there are no lengths to which our vanities won't take us.

Why You Should Take This Trip Before You Turn 40 Some people say that life begins at 40, while others dread that big birthday. There's no doubt that life changes in your 40s, it feels like your body behaves differently and you just don't bounce back as easily as you used to. Sometimes it creeps up on you. However, there are serious benefits to getting over the big 4-0. Practically everyone has more money in their 40s than when they were younger, and feel more stable in their lives. With that said, there are some things that you should try and do before you turn 40. Number 1 on that list is camping. If you have never pitched a tent, slept in the great outdoors, and experienced the beauty of being so close to nature then it is a must-do. Why do we suggest that you do it before you're 40? Mostly because a younger, able body finds it much, much easier. Sometimes when you go camping, nature doesn't play nice and you may end up soaked to the bone or scorched out of your tent at dawn. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/older-woman-looks-young/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/633baf3d8e43e233cbdd2bf1ca3501317aa9ddc22391af2abfeaec72308253b7.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/crazy-hotel-design/ Have a Look at This Hotels Crazy Design The Crazy Design of Hotel Marqueacutes de Riscal If you have ever admired architect Frank Gehry's work, then you'll probably want to stay at the Hotel Marqueacutes de Riscal.

These three big names are making a splash on the interiors scene, Kelly Clarkson, Drew Barrymore, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Singer and chat show host Kelly Clarkson has her own exclusive line with Wayfair, the online furniture giant Wayfair. The theme is ldquoFrench countryrdquo, which is her preference. Buyers can choose feminine soft furnishings and antique-style vases to add to their home. Clarkson said that home has always been ldquoa sanctuaryrdquo where she spends quality time with her family, and hopes the line brings peace and comfort that she feels in her own space. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/crazy-hotel-design/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/3d0d03c3abdbc7eaf77b330531e807215800440ebac15b4eabcd68f6fb3fbcc2.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/mountain-men-bts/ Take a Behind the Scenes Look at Mountain Men Taking a Behind The Scenes Look at lsquoMountain Men' The hit reality show lsquoMountain Men' made its debut almost a decade ago back in 2012. It follows the lives of men who inhabit the most daring and treacherous environments in the US. In this survival-themed show, every new season brings a new group of novices to join the cast and crew on a voyage through the most daring surroundings such as the sub-zero Montana Mountains in winter. Prior to being selected for the show, all participants are subjected to a strict and thorough criminal checklist according to the show's co-creators Marc Pierce and Chris Richardson. Many candidates are eliminated via this process. Hand-picking ideal participants that fit the bill is one of the more strenuous parts of the reality show apparently.

While people do look up to celebrities, many people don't consider how smart celebrities are. Of course, there are exceptions to this with some of the biggest brains and prominent figures in the modern world such as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, but they gained their celebrity through ideas, and as a whole, that is not the case. This could be due to a multitude of reasons, one being that celebrities such as actors, musicians, and socialites are almost exclusively seen on red carpets and that their educational background is usually never discussed. On the other hand, most of their on-screen appearances don't do them any favors either, successfully muddying and dumbing down even some of the smarter celebrities.

Working in conjunction with others to achieve a common goal teaches us many invaluable skills that will prove useful in almost all walks of life. Science fairs, group projects and group presentations are just some of the assignments given during school and university to help encourage team building and prepare us for a life beyond education. Many jobs require an efficient team in order to achieve results and school is a crucial starting place for developing the capacity to do so. Group projects teach children how to work together to solve problems. By breaking down potentially complex or extensive tasks into separate logical parts and steps, young people are exposed to the benefits of working with multiple people as part of a team. It encourages communication skills as successfully conveying ideas will be integral for success. Each team member must be given an equal role and children should learn that sometimes they must compromise on their own ideas for the good of the group. Starting at an early age is the best way to ensure young people are fully prepared for the reality of a work environment. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/girl-power-kid/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/f6365e74f6a8d18a793b9bfd729dacc298a79801ad45bb4b28e08f8427fd8390.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/celebrity-pizza-habits/ These Are Your Favorite Celebrity Pizza Habits What Do Celebrities Like on Their Pizza? We all love finding out something new about our favourite celebrities and seeing how they're similar and different to ourselves. Sometimes we can learn something extremely significant about the A-listers we love, but even discovering trivial things can be fun. We like to know about what they eat, how they spend their free time and their favourite films and TV shows. Learning about our favourite celebs can really help us relate to them and view them as real people rather than just movie stars or singers. Pizza is something almost all of us love, however, what we choose to top it with is subject to constant bickering and judgement. Here are some famous celebrities' favourite pizza toppings. Jennifer Lawrence The Hunger Games star is often celebrated for being America's sweetheart and one of the most relatable and charming megastars in Hollywood. She has spoken frequently about her love of food, especially pizza. Lawrence also confessed to not watching her weight and digging into a slice whenever she fancies, something we can all relate to. Not content with any basic pizza, the Oscar winner has formulated her own culinary speciality known as a lsquochilli pizza sandwich'. This involves taking a slice of pizza, topping it with chilli and noodles, and layering another slice on top. She acknowledges the weirdness of her creation, jokingly stressing how she was in fact sober when she thought of it. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/celebrity-pizza-habits/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/4f7c30502b225eb12e39ee2414455ec72de1891de4dc79b310c3ff442e033da5.jpeg These Are Your Favorite Celebrity Pizza Habits The Hot Destinations Where Celebrities Love to Vacation It's hard these days for celebrities to get away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

Recently, one of the most adoring videos around made it online. Safe to say, we have found it terribly difficult to stop hitting the repeat button and tear our eyes from the screen. The video in question? It was a video where a mother duck and her flock of ducklings took a quick detour on a Tuesday morning. They hatched in the courtyard and were making their way to the nearby pond with their first steps. To do this, they went through the school and its corridors - that were lined with little enthralled children! The video shows over 500 students, sitting cross-legged along the hallway and the playground. The joy in their faces was clearly visible in the video as the mother duck and her 10 ducklings waddled past without any fear at all! According to Principal Sheila Kukstis, this event is a yearly tradition at the school and is considered a rite of spring for all the students at Glover Elementary School. The school includes students from elementary grade all the way to fifth grade. Apparently, it occurs every spring. The ducks make a nest in the interior courtyard of the school. When the ducklings hatch and are grown, they make their way to the nearby pond. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/ducks-on-the-road/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/c6d3af56438f4ad24233d93b0f8f5faf527b1d30ec951ad2b5f1c5e105e35a86.jpeg Watch Out for These Ducks See What This Seagull Had in Its Mouth Seagull Spotted with Stolen Dentures Seagulls are among the most well-known birds around.

Sometimes seagulls find the gall to steal food right out of a person's hand. Cookies, ice cream, sandwiches - none of it is safe at the beach.

Why Everyone Loves Target's Discounts Everyone loves Target I mean, what's not to like about the multi-million dollar big-box store franchise. It is home to virtually everything you would ever need, whether it is groceries and toiletries or furniture, clothing, and home appliances. Most importantly though are its reasonable prices. After all, there's always time for a good discount, right? So, needless to say, Target's discounts are much loved by all shoppers. The success of their discounts is due to their unique and distinctive approach. Walmart's focal point is ldquoeveryday low prices'' while Costco's focus is on ldquoquality goods and services at the lowest possible prices.rdquo However, as marketing expert and professor Aleksandra Kavacheva points out, Target's secret ingredient (to which their success is primarily attributed) is ldquoInstead of focusing entirely on price, Target's online and brick-and-mortar stores highlight the modern, up-to-date, chic products developed in collaboration with trending fashion and interior designers.rdquo https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/target-low-prices/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/ab88e31e6c93f6c5d4573ce69cc2519bee906a267a2ac72fff994638d2f96fb6.jpeg Who Doesnt Love a Target Discount? This Is Why You Should Levi's Jeans Why Levi's Jeans are America's Favorite Clothes It's hard to imagine a life without denim. It's the world's most common reinforced fabric and we've probably all owned a pair of jeans at some point in our lives. Jeans, as we know them today, were conceived by Levi Strauss and his methods of riveting the pockets and other parts of the fabric. He went into partnership with San Francisco tailor, Jacob Davis after the latter couldn't afford the patent that Strauss was proposing to make the fabric last longer. Their invention changed workwear forever - denim was durable and didn't need to be washed as often. And when James Dean was shown wearing a pair of their iconic 501 jeans in Rebel Without a Cause, they found a whole new audience in the shape of that new invention, the teenager. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/target-low-prices/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/d9aa951d669c9072c69e12af32782b86e5a285cb407c699dd22e3d20c8cf43be.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/against-fast-food/ How Bad Is Fast Food for Your Kids? The Real Reasons Why Fast Food is Bad for Kids There's a saying in business: ldquoIf you want it good, it won't be fast. If you want it fast, it won't be good.rdquo It's about the quality of work done but it's just as applicable to food too. We know that fast food isn't good for us. Even before Supersize Me hit movie theaters, it was an uncomfortable truth that although it was convenient, those meals weren't doing our bodies any favors. Despite their attempts to broaden menus with fruit and lower-calorie options, the burger giants still face criticism based on what they offer. It's unsurprising. A regular diet of fast food for children is bad for them. It means they won't be getting the essential vitamins and minerals that they need to grow up strong and healthy. A burger meal also contains the kind of additives which can bring about addiction to these kinds of food, which is going to cause problems in later life. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/against-fast-food/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/f899a7ac51e482bde1f3370853b071a16540d97ada37d4a34b63cb74a8c03f40.jpeg How Bad Is Fast Food for Your Kids? How Common Is Lactose Intolerance? Lactose Intolerance is More Common Than You Think Pizza, Mac n cheese, ice cream, froyo - many of our favorite foods have dairy as their main ingredient. However, there are plenty of other foods that have lactose as an ingredient, which comes from dairy, that we don't think of, such as bread, soups, and sauces for pasta. This means that most Americans consume a lot of dairy each day. While dairy is good for providing calcium and protein in your diet, what many people don't realize is that they are actually intolerant to it. Research carried out by the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse discovered that up to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. This is bad news for the dairy industry. If all of those people decided to cut out dairy completely, then it would take a huge hit. However, most Americans prefer to ignore those noises in their tummy or the slight headache that they get after consuming dairy. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/against-fast-food/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/5af1f9061362e7da770fe9a15ad09c2e394094d959fcd452f078e34222ebf9ce.jpeg https://soulduo.com/view/seagull-theft/ See What This Seagull Had in Its Mouth Seagull Spotted with Stolen Dentures Seagulls are among the most well-known birds around.

Teen Summer Tips Sudden routine changes come as a shock to us all. Whilst school keeps children more than busy for most of the year, finding plenty for them to do during the holidays isn't easy. Below are five cheap, rewarding, and engaging activities to ensure the kids stay entertained during the long summer break. Working Working for young people presents more benefits than simply keeping them busy, and encouraging a teen to get a summer job is one of the best things a parent can do for them. It's a great way to familiarise them with how to successfully hunt for a job as well as the realities of working. Even if job searching is ultimately fruitless, how to deal with failure and unsuccessful applications can be a lesson in itself. Where to look for work, how to write an effective CV, and how to leave a lasting impression during an interview are some indispensable skills a summer job teaches. Employed teens also learn responsibilities such as being punctual and professional. The added benefit of having their own income means that teens are less likely to need the bank of mum and dad to fund their summer plans. Acquiring a New Skill The vast amount of free time during summer break is wasted if a child spends the majority of his time idling around the house. Prompting a young person to try something new is a great way for them to build confidence and acquire new interests. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/teen-summer-tips/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/4a454e6fc88006cb1457b0eff358654acaab0df4786cc371df6a17cb1a8a5419.jpeg What Can Teens Do in the Summer?

Aside from its intoxicating qualities, beer also has some profound practical uses that most average Joes could find useful. Slug Disposal Any keen gardener knows what a pain garden slugs can be. They are a year-round annoyance, constantly taking bites out of any plant they come across and stunting the growth of seedlings. However, we have more in common with them than we think, and these pesky mollusks also love a pint. Rather than having them munch on your pretty flowers or get first dibs on your fresh veg, pour beer on the ground to attract them away from your precious greenery. Grass Growth Nothing spoils the perfect garden look like scattered brown spots of underdeveloped grass. Due to the carbohydrates and yeast found in beer, spraying a Budweiser on these dead spots can actually encourage growth and help to restore a garden's pristine look. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/beer-applications/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/2f1e1d9a36ea1be8d41acf157d1ded5a92e24866efd326fcb66eba116e5109a0.jpeg This Is How You Can Use Beer Love Caffeine?

Several newly established businesses in Seattle believe these changes will make it harder for them to achieve success. These companies have followed over 1,000 others countrywide in signing a letter of protest to the FCC and pleading with the president to protect net neutrality. So far, it seems as though all objections have fallen on deaf ears. Multiple CEOS and company founders have issued personal statements berating the FCC's decision. Net neutrality dictates that internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all web traffic equally and forbid taking money to provide a quicker service for certain websites. The abolishment of net neutrality favors big companies who can afford to pay extra. The FCC argues that their decision will stimulate the growth of internet providers, compensating for recent falls in broadband investment. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/seattle-net-neutrality/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/9c1b1d72dad26329fbf20cc6ef2be73391fd27f584c999cf1e0ca121daa0e57b.jpeg Net Neutrality and Smaller Companies America's Most Sociable Cities The US has no shortage of bustling big cities that are full of life.

Lactose Intolerance is More Common Than You Think Pizza, Mac n cheese, ice cream, froyo - many of our favorite foods have dairy as their main ingredient. However, there are plenty of other foods that have lactose as an ingredient, which comes from dairy, that we don't think of, such as bread, soups, and sauces for pasta. This means that most Americans consume a lot of dairy each day. While dairy is good for providing calcium and protein in your diet, what many people don't realize is that they are actually intolerant to it. Research carried out by the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse discovered that up to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. This is bad news for the dairy industry. If all of those people decided to cut out dairy completely, then it would take a huge hit. However, most Americans prefer to ignore those noises in their tummy or the slight headache that they get after consuming dairy. https://soulduo.com/engine/static/articles/lactose-intolerance-prevalence/images/https://media.wazimo.com/images/2d1c99941f2c46b580c02a3950b1f78608194a925cd987855994cbba50fcbc57.jpeg How Common Is Lactose Intolerance?
