    • Are You Paranoid?

      By GALTime.com | Love + Sex – Wed, Aug 3, 2011 4:09 PM EDT

      By GalTime Relationship Diva Jennifer Oikle, Ph.D.


      Q: My wife has this obsession with the computer. She does not know sometimes what she is looking at and therefore she jumps to the conclusion that it pertains to me. I have had to take a lie detector test to prove to her that I am telling the truth. But that has not changed anything. What should I do?

      Dear Doubted,

      It's always hard to be doubted by the one you love, especially when the doubt is unfounded. If even an objective lie detector test did not quell your wife's fears, it suggests there is a core issue here that will be best addressed with professional help.

    • Conquering the World of Online Contests

      By GALTime.com | Work + Money – Tue, Aug 2, 2011 3:33 PM EDT

      By GalTime.com's Consumer Watchdog Mary Schwager

      You know all those contests you see online offering amazing sounding prizes like designer shoes or dream vacations? Can you really win? This Consumer Watchdog was always skeptical (except for the awesome giveaways on GalTime.com, of course!). Then, recently I met "Christine". This New England resident doesn't want her last name used, but she says she's won amazing prizes by entering online contests like: Gift cards, movie tickets, a $200 Coach purse, three netbooks, a Fender guitar signed by John Mellancamp, a year's worth of Godiva chocolates and a week at a gorgeous North Carolina beach house.

      Really????

      Really!!!! I made her show me pictures of the prizes to prove it. She claims she's never been scammed, nor is her inbox filled with spam. How does she pull it off? Christine says it's not hard at all.

    • Is It OK To Fantasize About Another Man?

      By GALTime.com | Love + Sex – Tue, Aug 2, 2011 3:31 PM EDT

      By GalTime Relationship Expert, Jane Greer, Ph.D.

      Dear GalTime...is it ok to have fantasies of other people even though I'm married? I love my husband, but do think about other men sometimes. When is it OK...and when is it NOT OK to fantasize? I would never cheat so I don't know why it happens. Sometimes, it's men I know...and sometimes it's Hollywood types. Please help...I feel guilty.

      ANSWER: Absolutely, It's OK to fantasize! That's why they are called' fantasies ', because they are all in your mind and that's where they stay!! It's not only OK to fantasize whenever you would like, it's also a positive and healthy was to infuse your love life with sexy energy that can keep your love life active and dynamic!

    • Hairdressers, Gossiping Moms and Teenagers

      By GALTime.com | Parenting – Mon, Aug 1, 2011 7:08 PM EDT

      By Barbara Greenberg, PhD, GalTime.com Teen Parenting Expert

      I had had it. This was going to be my last visit to this hair salon. I had just overheard yet another conversation between two moms gossiping about their teen daughters' friends.

      They were interested in who the girls were dating, their parents' divorces, and the trouble that some of these girls were getting into.

      And, yes, the hairdressers were getting animated and involved in these lively chats.

      Trust me when I tell you that these were not empathic conversations. They were mean-spirited and catty. They were behaving just like "mean girls.'" They appeared to be delighting in the troubles of others.

    • 9 Ways to Transition Your Kids From Summer Back to School

      By GALTime.com | Back To School – Mon, Aug 1, 2011 3:44 PM EDT

      By KyAnn Lewis, GalTime.com

      As summer vacation wraps up, it's time to get back into a schedule and routine. After several weeks of sleeping in and staying up late, you need to get your kids back on track. Otherwise you're going to be dealing with tired, grouchy kids in the morning.

      What's the best way to get back into school mode? I solicited advice from a childcare expert, Candi Wingate, President of Nannies4Hire. She has ideas to help parents make the transition easier. Candi advises that you:

      1. Gradually transition your kids back into their school-year wake and sleep cycles. A few weeks before school starts, set your kids' bedtime at an hour that is earlier than they go to bed during the summer but later than they go to bed during the school year. In subsequent weeks, shift their bedtime earlier and earlier until you've reached their traditional school-year bedtime.

      2. Limit access to refined sugar and processed foods before bedtime.

    • Living In Reality Or Living In Sin?

      By GALTime.com | Love + Sex – Mon, Aug 1, 2011 3:41 PM EDT

      By Straight Male Friend Marcus Osborne for GalTime.com

      Periodically, I meet people who still hold fast to the idea of not living with your significant other unless there's a wedding addendum attached to the live-in love agreement. Now personally, I don't care one way or the other if a couple decides to "play house."

      There are some definite old-schoolers, traditionalists, and religious types who, in no uncertain terms will not go for "living in sin." Ever. If I ever get married again there's no way I'm not moving in with her first.

      There's no amount of sleepovers that come close to duplicating the day-to-day rigors of life with another human being sleeping next to you each evening. No plurality of extended vacations matches the daily grind of working through financial decisions big and small. And let's not forget the wealth of easily concealed habits that conspire to drive one to stand up and say, "Hi, my name is Marcus…and I'm

    • Save Your Sun Damaged Strands

      By GALTime.com | Work + Money – Fri, Jul 29, 2011 6:39 PM EDT

      By Jessica Conway, GalTime Associate Producer

      Summer is here and the temperature is rising! Whether you're planning to sun or swim, your hair is at increased risk for dryness and breakage…gasp! Thankfully, celebrity hairstylist Sherri Jessee has come to the rescue!

      Going for a swim? Salt buildup can lead to dry, hard to manage hair, and chlorine can cause cuticle damage and split ends. That's because the chemicals strip away sebum, a natural scalp lubricant. To prevent this, treat your mane before or after hitting the water. Sherri suggests that prior to the pool or beach, wet your hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner. Afterwards, you can shampoo your hair and then rinse with a little bit of white vinegar and lemon water - the acid will help restore shine and strip away chemicals.

      Fun in the sun? UVA and UVB rays have the power to damage your hair, too! Sherri says that signs of sun-damaged hair include brittleness and dryness, broken or split ends, frizz,

    • Does Having a Teen Make You Lumpy, Frumpy and a Little Crazy?

      By GALTime.com | Parenting – Fri, Jul 29, 2011 4:23 PM EDT

      By GalTime Teen Parenting Expert, Barbara Greenberg

      Let's face it -- once you have kids you are never quite the same. You chop off your hair so that you can wash and wear. Much of the affection that you reserved for your partner is now lavished on your offspring. Your body is exhausted by caring for the kids, so it becomes less about sex and more about nurturance.

      Time passes. Your babies grow into toddlers. Your hair has grown a bit and is now usually up in a ponytail. If you go to the grocery store you can usually identify the moms of toddlers by their look. It's usually a ponytail, a little lip gloss, jeans, and an easy to slip on pair of boots or flip-flops. Moms of little kids still maintain something that mothers of teens start to feel that they are losing. I am talking about CONTROL. You have control over little kids' play dates, schedules, activities, and appointments. Let's face it - there is some
