'The Love Rooms Launch'
The Love rooms is an internet first-aid relationship site; a one-stop shopping boutique for the mind. It even prepares singles for that good 'catch'.
I have started my column with lots of information on my new venture The Love Rooms so I hope you enjoy my enthusiasm and information. But first I wanted to give a warning that may come in useful to you if you are looking at booking on a cruise or buying goods with a credit card. Our cruise would have been fantastic, marvelous staff beautiful ship but that means nothing when you are violently sick most of the time. Both my husband and I will think very seriously about taking a cruise after both of us had food poisoning on our cruise in December, me for the second cruise, which severely depleted our immune systems. It is now nearly two months later and we are only just recovering, I have since found out that many ships quietly have epidemics but keep it very quiet. The ships will have to get their act together before we book again. The food was so bad that a gentleman on our table said to the waiter, "Take this back and tell the chef he should be ashamed of himself."
"What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you"--Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
Another shock is that the protection you think you have with a credit card purchase doesn't really exist, with the credit card companies misleading us into thinking you have more protection against problems with a purchase than a if you pay with cash. After months of arguing back and forth finally the credit card company reimbursed me for an iphone I bought in New York that I later discovered to be a 'fake' I am now back to square one with the sellers' bank wanting the money back. Even though I had full proof of fraud the credit card companies give little protection so I might as well use cash. Finally, after suffering months of a 'gag' order against my co-author for the feature film we weremarketing, the order looks like it may be lifted by an 'angel". See the end of the article for the full story.
The "must have" is the theLoveRooms Relationship Self-Help Tool Kit
February is counted as part of National Break-up Season so get ready to make sure you are not one of the unhappy thousands that end up with a broken-heart.
Tempers easily flare and with your emotional guard down hurtful things can be said that are hard to take back. When disagreements are triggered and one or the other makes the wrong move the relationship can just end.
However, this could be the time to decide if this is the "love of your life" or just a "flash in the pan" - a love you could easily do without. Pick the love of your life and there is no time to lose in setting things right. Immediate action after recognizing the problems will probably be the most effective. Visit www.theLoveRooms.com and shop around for some mind presents for yourself.
I am delighted to report that, together with two very talented colleagues Katie Glen and Valerie Blondeau, I am launching 'The Love Rooms' on the day Hotgossip comes out. theLoveRooms is an internet first-aid relationship site; a one-stop shopping boutique for 'your' mind. This special place in cyberspace is where you can find all the advice, help and mind-tools to ensure a perfect relationship. You can purchase lots of these fun tools for self-help and you will find plenty of free advice and love and relationship stories so you can learn new ways to get, have and keep a relationship and, just as importantly, get rid of a bad one. All this invaluable information can be found at the tap of a key. Just link into theLoveRooms website and you will have friends and helpers to not only point you in the right direction but to give you the tools to allow you to change your mind and be that person you always wanted to be. All this and more in the fabulous field of love.
Some daters just don't want to fake the romance any longer
By the time you read Hotgossip, and what more of a perfect time to launch than Valentine 's Day, you can just click onto our site www.theLoveRooms.com and enjoy an experience of choice. Choose what type of relationship you desire and then do the Austin 5-step plan for love. Mind goals diagrams and step-by-step instructions and therapy audios are just waiting for you to use before you get to the 'faking it' stage.
We've already had celebrities following us, like Courtney Love, on twitter so don't miss out. A lot of research and hard, effective work has gone into creating this fascinating site. But more importantly the self-help tools have been proven to work by our team of hypnotherapists that specialize in the field of love and relationships.
There are so many untried and untested methods of self-help on the market that it is 'mind-boggling', but unfortunately much of it seems to be just 'made-up' by the claimed expert or therapist, ending in poor results. So be wary when it says 'new' or 'up-to-date' methods or therapy as it usually means they are untested. Would you take a drug that is untested? So in the field of therapy simply being new isn't necessarily a good sign. While hypnotherapy, which is the therapy we use (and show you how to use), has over two hundred years of verification in academic journals proving it works.
Three women collaborated in developing the TheLoveRooms. My contribution was based on my five successful books on hypnotherapy and one of these books, HypnoSex, was written from my experience as a relationship therapist working out of a honeymoon hotel on a paradise island. My experiences in working with many couples and lovers helping them with their relationships and two others colleagues, Katie Glen, a Harley Street advanced hypnotherapist and psychologist who specialises in relationship and sexual problems, and beauty editor, international image consultant and PR guru, Valerie Blondeau. Their experience is exceptional and perfect for the love site so check it out.
When dressing up for dinner, or have his or her favorite
wine, dinner or outfit ready is not enough
The therapy audio downloads you can buy to change your attitudes and prepare you for a fantastic relationship are based on traditional methods that are 'tried and tested - and more importantly they 'work' because of my experience with both clients and training hypnotherapists in relationship therapy. Maybe your Valentine's Day was less than perfect because this is the time where lovers can either have a fantastic day of love and fun whilst many others may be having a heated argument, or are even just feeling bored, with the spark having gone out of their relationship (assuming it was there in the first place). Which type of day did you have?
Even if you believe your relationship is perfect there is always room for improvement and there are lots of fun personality-building tools and techniques on the site. Not like the usual advice you may have tried from magazines or internet sites that give advice which you either act on, or more than likely, don't. And even if you do act out the advice it is rarely enough to fix the underlying problems. You need to address your preconceived ideas about relationships.
Yes, that is where any glitches lie. If you are having a problem in your love life it is precisely that - it's YOUR problem - even if it is just one of boredom. You either chose the wrong partner or you don't know the proper actions to make it work. Which is it?
This is why we have developed a 'LoveRooms Tool Kit' and lots of great self-help downloads to get rid of these unwanted glitches or, if it's too late, to even mend a broken heart. Your problems may be as serious as frightening jealousy or as mundane as an unsociable habit that is unattractive to your partner, but you still do it anyway as a form of rebellion. With our experienced team of Love therapists and experts in the field of relationships we address these problems and have come up with a 5-step solution.
Step One - Treat yourself:
First you would be well advised to buy the special LoveRooms 5-step program that is on special offer on the Love Rooms site this month with special price of only £19.99 to celebrate its launch. This incredible site gives you a toolbox for mind help. It includes the Blueprint for Love and my Repair and Relationship Protection kit so you will be well prepared to keep or find the love of your life.
Blueprint for Love
I would highly recommend the 'Blueprint for Love' - a must for everyone. It was featured in my HypnoSex book where I did the TV and radio circuit as a Love expert. I was on two T.V shows with Esther Ransom and several others giving advice. I was featured in several documentaries showing how to marry a millionaire. The Blueprint is designed for fixing relationships or helping you clear out old mind viruses that are preventing you from having a happy relationship full of love and happiness. This easy-to-listen-to relaxation hypnotherapy audio acts like a mind clear-out that gives you a kind of natural, default self-regulating button that clears out the old incorrect programs that have been in the way of a great relationship.
TheLoveRooms is an exciting website full of interactive pictures, downloads, advice and audios and kits you can buy. This website is definitely the place to go for every type of love dilemma or relationship problem. You may be single, in a relationship or leaving a relationship. Whichever it is, theLoveRooms are designed to help both men and women achieve their love goals and clear the mind baggage in the process.
It not only gives you advice but the tools to fix your behavior that may be preventing you from either finding the right partner or keeping them. If you already have a long-term relationship it shows you how to get that spark back or make it even more exciting. It teaches you how to keep your partner happy which could prevent them straying in the future. I know you think you may be safe but while I was researching for my book HypnoSex in the 90's I interviewed top experts, even the surgeon to one of the Kings of Malaysia, which was easy as he was my boyfriend at the time. I asked him why so many couples are silently unhappy or break up. He gave a very simple answer: BOREDOM.
Our 'Gag' could be lifted by an Angle?
I have been working for the last two years on a film based on the Joe Cool murders. I used to be in the film business and I was working hard to get this film financed. Just as I had 'seed money' that is the start up finance, a 'gag' order was put on my co-writer by the family courts and she couldn't even talk about it to even her family, so the finance we had just found, was lost. The whole project had to be scrapped. We went to the appeal court and a Judge by the name of Angle said the gag order was "outrageous". We are waiting to the final judgement and crossing our fingers while waiting for the results. Then we will be trying to pick up the pieces and looking to finance the film once again. Maybe second time lucky.
Breakfast Salt that can kill you
If you have been reading my column for the past four years you will be aware that I have been trying to let everyone know about the incredible amount of salt that has been put in our food to extend the shelf life and satisfy the big supermarkets.
As people started to get fatter and fatter and have heart disease and diabetes all the excuses were given except about the change in the food. Modern food is full of additives and chemicals and excess of salt. I was thought to be over reacting but you just need to see the heart disease and heart attack figures to see why I was so obsessed with sharing the information. If you look at my first article in June 2006 edition entitled Where has all the Real Food Gone it gives you an insight of what was to come.
Now finally companies have had to put their hands up and say they were wrong. Kellogg's is cutting the salt in its cereals by a third following pressure from the health watch dog. Why did they wait so long? They claimed customers enjoy the taste. The FSA says the Nation is eating too much salt which is a serious health hazard. The trouble is the food companies have got people addicted. Kellogg's alone will remove approximately 300 tons of salt a year from the nation's diet and even with this reduction their products still contain more salt than much of their competition in the market. But what will they do to replace the taste? Hopefully they won't substitute the salt with taste enhancers, resulting in more chemical additives.
Remember it may be expensive to buy Organic, but it is real food.
Farmers Won't Eat Corn-Fed Beef
Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at speciality grocers, farmers' markets and nationally at Whole Foods. It's usually labelled because it is more expensive. One of my farmer friends said that the fact that cows are herbivores means that they should not be fed corn and chicken manure.
Some weight conscious dieters have gone to extremes in Britain, tired of dieting they have had a massive 2,123 liters of body fat surgically removed in the last year. This was revealed by the UK's leading cosmetic surgery group has revealed...and that's only one company!
