    • How Much Do You Tell Your Friends About Your Sex Life?

      http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/Fergie-17.JPGHere at Smitten, we talk about your sex life a lot (Exhibit A, Exhibit B)! But, when you're chatting with friends, how much do you spill? Fergie recently revealed quite a bit of juicy info...

      "I think women are beautiful, I've had a lot of fun with women, and I'm not ashamed of it," she reportedly said. "The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man."

      Well, sister, most of us like our men that way, too! The difference is, most of us don't tell the press about it. In fact, the older I get, the less I reveal about my sex life. Are you the same way? These days, I feel weird blabbing about every little detail, like I did in high school and college, especially when it comes to long-term relationships.

      My girls and I still dissect flings and hookups, and we love chatting about any particularly unusual dude behavior. Sharing these stories is part of what makes dating fun! But, once things get serious, I'm usually a little more discreet.

    • Relationship Lessons from Gossip Girl: What (New) Sexual Experience Did You Try in College?

      http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/00557610e6f.jpgAfter last night's amazing Women of the Year Awards, I rushed home to watch the latest Gossip Girl episode. (Thanks, trusty DVR!) Did you tune in to see a certain teen trio turn up the heat? Let's chat…

      Dan, Vanessa and Olivia start checking off experiences from a list of things every college student must do before graduating. A crazy party with keg stands? Check. Make lifelong friends? Check. But, then…they get to the last one: Have a threesome. Dan says he's never had one. And, Vanessa says that she's never had one either. Olivia admits that she's had one…but it was for a movie, so it doesn't really count. She finishes her drink, and gives Dan a steamy kiss, while Vanessa watches. Then, Olivia gives Vanessa a longing look, and they lock lips. Finally, Dan and V. share a kiss. The episode ends with a shot of the three of them in bed. Yowza!

    • Little White Lie or Unforgivable Fib: Lying To Your Guy About Prices

      http://www.rendezvoushotels.com.au/brisbane/images/shopping.jpgBe honest: Have you ever misled your guy about what you purchased after a day of shopping? I'll admit that I do it when necessary.

      I love to shop, and while I haven't been shopping as often as I used to, I still splurge on less frivolous items that I'll wear often, like a pair of jeans or a coat. When I walk through the door after every shopping trip, Drew asks me what I spent. I usually tell him the truth because I'm good at hunting for bargains, but sometimes I have to embellish my purchases or alter the prices so he won't get annoyed. For example, last week I bought a pair of boots I had been lusting after for weeks. I was shopping around for the best price, and I couldn't find them for less than $300, so I sucked it up and bought them, knowing I'd wear them for years. Instead of telling Drew I only bought boots, I said I got two pairs of shoes-it sounded a little better that way. I know he's completely caught on to my tricks, but I do it whenever I feel a little guilty about

    • Would You Ever Let Your Guy Read Your Diary?

      http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/Nicole-Kidman-GQ-UK-Magazine-December-2009.jpgIn a recent interview with British GQ, Nicole Kidman said she burned some of her diaries after she married Keith Urban in 2006. Sounds drastic, but I bet it was cathartic at the same time! She said, "You can't read somebody's diary. You shouldn't read it. I burnt most of my journals after I remarried. You're only going to find out bad things." I can understand where she's coming from, but I don't know if I could ever get rid of my old diaries, could you?

      I have a few diaries from when I was younger, and I have one I kept for a year in college which is the juiciest read. I love looking them when I'm bored-diary entries are sometimes better than photos. I usually wrote in my diary when I needed to vent about something or when I felt bad for myself about guy issues, so it makes me smile now to see how much my life has changed. There are some entries I would let Drew read, but overall, the emotions in my diary are so raw, I wouldn't want anyone reading the entire thing. That's the

    • Do You Always Wear Your Wedding Band? And Does Your Guy?

      On a recent appearance at The View, Joy Behar called out Ivanka Trump for not wearing her wedding ring. Ivanka responded: "I was engaged for three months and then I've been married around eight days, so it's sitting on my bedside table. I forget about the hardware." Do you always wear your wedding band and engagement rings? And does your guy?

      I don't think it's unusual that Ivanka forgot to wear her wedding ring. Some days, I'll forget to put mine on, too, especially if I'm running late. I do feel a little naked without it, but I don't think it's that uncommon to forget. In the video, Sherri Shepherd asks her if Ivanka sleeps in them, but that seems so uncomfortable. I don't sleep in any of my jewelry...do you?

      Drew on the other hand never takes off his wedding band! He sleeps in it, showers in it and puts gel in his hair while wearing it! I would hate it if soap and hair gel got under my ring, but I haven't say anything to him because I'm scared that I'll mention it and

    • Weird or Relatable: Sometimes I'm Jealous of My Single Friends

      http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/dating.jpgI feel very fortunate that I met the perfect guy for me, but I have to admit that I do get really jealous of my single girlfriends when I hear about their dating adventures (even the bad ones!). Is that weird?

      When I was dating, I didn't fully appreciate that nervous energy you get before you meet someone new, and I miss it. Sometimes when my friends are giving me a play-by-play of their dating adventures, I wish I could trade places with them for just one night to experience that rush again.

      When I read Joanna's post about Sarah going on a date with her husband of eight years and feeling butterflies, I couldn't help but smile. That's the feeling I miss. Maybe I just need to make Drew institute a monthly date night to let me experience that energy again!

      Do you ever feel jealous of your single girlfriends when they go on dates? Ever wish you could trade places with them, even for one night? Or are you thrilled that you met "the one" so that you never have to go on another

    • Can You Be In A Serious Relationship If You Still Live With Your Parents?

      http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/3292866117_735e47dfe7.jpgA couple of weeks ago, Chrissi over at Storked! asked if you would ever dare to live with your parents. A recent U.S. census report revealed 55 percent of men and 48 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 24 live with their parents-not surprising considering the very sad economy. Are you dating a guy who lives at home, and has it gotten in the way of your relationship?

      I have three friends who are dating men who still live with their parents, and they always complain about the same three things that are keeping their relationships from progressing:

      *Their boyfriends aren't "growing up." Their moms still do their laundry and make their beds, so they expect their girlfriends to do the same for them when they stay over. My one girlfriend told me she sarcastically tells her 28-year-old boyfriend that she's "not his mother" every time he leaves his dirty dishes on the table.

      *There's no change of scenery. They only time they get to be alone is in their own apartments because

    • Leona Lewis Sticks Up for Her Electrician Boyfriend. Do You Ever Have To Defend Your Guy's Job?

      A reporter at The Observer recently asked Leona Lewis about how the press has a "snide bewilderment" with her boyfriend of seven years who is an electrician. And her response was so incredibly honest and sweet...

      When the reporter asked Leona if she finds the fascination with her relationship to be offensive, she said:

      "I find it very offensive. It's like, seriously? This is real life, it isn't make-believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them. It does make me angry. Because he's a great person. And it doesn't matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from. None of that matters to me, what matters is who you are as a person-nothing else."

      I've always thought Leona had a beautiful voice (I listened to "Bleeding Love" on repeat for days and days when it first came out), but her answer was so brutally honest and sincere, it makes me love her even

This sweet, video-game-loving guy proposed to his girlfriend via Super Mario World. Watch how it all went down...









      Too cute! They look so happy-I wonder what unique things they'll do for their wedding? Maybe they'll walk down the aisle to the Super Mario World theme song. Hey, it's just a thought...

    • If You Could Marry Any Celebrity, Who Would You Pick?

      It's Wednesday afternoon, so let's play a little game: If you could get hitched to any celebrity (dead or alive), who would you choose? I'm happily (and very newly) married, but if you'd asked me this question five years ago, I would have definitely said...

      1031-when-harry-met-sally_sm.jpg...a young Billy Crystal! He seems so fun and hilarious, and I once spotted him at a brunch spot in our neighborhood, and he's really cute in person. He also seemed to like eggs and bacon, so that's always a bonus.

      What about you guys? Which celebrity would you (pretend) marry? Who do you think would make a good life partner? Is the person you'd choose to marry different from the famous person you'd kiss or ask for a back rub? I'd love to hear...
