How can this be a thankful thanksgiving? See, we have always been looking forward to all our holidays. We do all the planning early enough… we shop for our gifts early and get so excited about the holiday season. Well, this year things are for sure are going to be different. With restrictions that have been put in place, I am sure you are even wondering if it’s even remotely possible to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday and get your loved one a gift.

Even in these tough times, there is a lot to be thankful for. Read on as I tell you some of the things to be grateful for amid the pandemic…

Thanksgiving during corona pandemic

Before I even get to the thanksgiving bit, one thing we need to talk about is how we need to conduct ourselves during this time. See, even if you don’t believe in the restrictions, try as much as possible to avoid gathering a big group of friends and family members because, believe it or not, if we all resort to this kind of thing, the whole thanksgiving holiday will have been for nothing. We will have less to be thankful for because of the much higher numbers of covid infections a week later.

With everything being different, I had to stop and pause to reflect on what I have to be thankful for. This is an exercise we do with the kids every year around the dinner table, and it’s usually fairly easy–we have so much–but this year, with everything we “lost”, it can be hard to find joy and thankfulness in our hearts. But when you look at it, despite the pandemic, we have so much to be thankful for during this coronavirus thanksgiving.

Let’s look at some of the things I feel you can and need to be thankful for…

Life

Are you alive? One of the things that I have learned to be grateful for this year is every breath I take. I have been hearing the way people have trouble breathing because of the coronavirus. So for every breath I take, I am thankful. So be thankful that you got to see another thanksgiving despite all that is happening. These days, matters of life and death are very real.

Health

Be thankful thanksgiving for health. Health this year is one of the things everyone needs to be grateful for especially if you have managed to survive contacting the coronavirus. This has become one of the biggest health issues that have even made the world go into lockdown. So if you got lucky, be thankful. If you got sick and healed then that should be on your list of things to be thankful for at thanksgiving. And in case you are grappling with any illness, being grateful for other little things working out for you can uplift your spirits. For instance…

The roof over your head

You might be taking some things for granted but thanksgiving in 2020 will really make people appreciate a lot of things in their lives. Have you ever thought to think about what the homeless in the streets live like? Imagine the cold that they will have to deal with during the holidays. So even if you are feeling like ‘what’s there to be happy about’, if you have a roof over your head, then that is something to be grateful for.

Music

Music has a way of always putting someone into a great mood. Music can be very uplifting. So if you are feeling low this Thanksgiving, how about putting on your favorite jam? Just that first bit will turn things around for you.

Little freedoms

Before the covid restrictions, most people used to take things like the freedom to walk for granted. The day we were told to stay at home was the day I realized just how much I missed that freedom. Well, at least some of these restrictions have eased up a bit. At least we are allowed to walk in our masks. Think about it… At least you can sit in front of the TV and watch whatever t is you want. At least you have a choice and the freedom to marry whoever you marry or date. You have the freedom to date online. You have the freedom of speech – you can speak freely without the fear that you will be thrown in jail.

This thanksgiving during corona pandemic, be thankful for the freedom to choose whatever you want.

Technology

… and smartphones of course. Well, this is a thankful thanksgiving because without the internet and our smartphones, I have no idea how most people would have survived the lockdown. What would you have done without Netflix? What would you have done without ZOOM, social media sites, Whatsapp, online dating? Just think about it.

One of the things that the internet has helped with is it has helped people stay in contact with their families and friends. People have been able to work from home. We have been able to do our businesses online. People are able to shop online. Because of this technology, most of us have managed to stay safe during the pandemic. So if you think that during this coronavirus thanksgiving there is nothing to be thankful for, take a minute, and think again. Just be thankful that you have the technology.

Water

Well, on top of the list of things to be thankful for at thanksgiving, water is it. If there is something that has been able to help us stay safe is water. We can wash our hands constantly with soap and water. Well, besides, being able to stay safe, one thing about water that you need to be thankful for is clean drinking water. Plus, you can have a shower whenever you want. Isn’t that just great?

Conclusion: Stay safe!

Be thankful thanksgiving because at least you have the option of staying safe. We all need to acknowledge the fact that there has been a surge in covid cases lately. Do not be tempted to let your guard down. This thing is as real as it can be. To be honest, many thanksgiving dinners are going to add to the risk of the spread of the disease.

Kindly forget involving your whole extended family. Instead, settle for virtual holiday celebrations, starting with thanksgiving in 2020. What begins as a cough at dinner can end up becoming life-threatening for the whole family. There is no sugarcoating things. Those large indoor family dinners will put all of you at risk especially because there are lots of asymptomatic cases.

If you really have to be with your family, consider a socially distanced thanksgiving outdoors. But if you ask me, I would advise you and your family members to follow CDC guidelines and stop the gatherings. Health officials have already warned about a surge in the number of infections during thanksgiving. Wear a mask. Social distance. Avoid indoor gatherings. Better safe than sorry. Have that virtual thanksgiving dinner and be thankful for our technological advancements and the internet.

What are the most popular fetishes that people have? One thing that comes to mind when people talk about fetishes is some complicated sexual stuff.  But you know what, it doesn’t necessarily have to be some complicated sexual contraptions. Something as simple as liking to be spanked or tied up when having sex qualifies as a fetish.

Today on Love is All Colors, we take a look at what fetishes are as well as have a look at popular sexual fetishes. Scroll on as we talk more about these…

How common are fetishes

Before we start discussing  the most popular fetishes, first need to discuss what a fetish is.  To make it simple, a fetish isn’t an activity or object that one desires too much. What makes a fetish a fetish is a role that activity or object plays in that person’s life. Basically, it is a behavior or something that needs to be present for someone to get aroused. Without it, they might not be sexually aroused at all. It is sexual arousal that is dependent on a normally non-sexual object.

The words fetish and kink are usually used interchangeably. Kink is usually a behavior or act that is outside the norm of traditional sexual acts. For instance, bondage where a person gets super aroused when tied up. Bondage can also be a fetish where their whole sexuality revolves around being restrained. Then of course there is the normal turn on where someone simply gets aroused by something.

So how common are fetishes?

While, having fetishes comes with lots of  social stigmas, as days go by, they are increasingly considered as mainstream. In fact, lots of people are making a living out of being kinky and out of other people’s fetishes.

Now, when talking about fetishes, most of the people think of BDSM (Bondage/Domination/SadoMasochism). This usually involves lots of power play and exchanges by exploring new sensations of pleasure mixed with pain, and experiencing the mental satisfaction of control and surrender…dominance and submission. Much as BDMS might involve some fetishes, not all fetishes fall under BDSM. However the two sometimes do overlap.

Well, now that you are a bit schooled, let us talk about some of the most popular fetishes and what they involve and are all about. According to studies, about half of us are involved or have the desire to engage in ‘out of the norm’ sexual activities. So if some of the popular fetishes we discuss here interest you, trust me, you are not alone. Having these fetishes doesn’t make you weird. Remember those that involve BDSM can be intense and even dangerous. Make sure that all people involved consent and also practice safe sex.

Let’s dive in…

Role-Playing

We all have great imaginations and wild fantasies. One thing we need to realize is that make believe is not only meant for kids. Even adults do it. And for adults its a lot of fun because our games involve acting out our sexual fantasies. Plus when most couples find themselves in a sex rut, role play is usually the easiest way to get out of it. That is what makes role playing one of the most popular sexual fetishes that exist. It is the easiest and healthiest way for people to make their sexual fantasies come to life.

Now if nurses arouse you, you don’t actually need to have a doctor to have sex with you. However, your partner can dress up as a nurse and you can play nurse-patient, and make it as kinky and as erotic as you want. The thing with role playing is that you get to have consensual sex with your ‘nurse’. Plus, your nurse can become the patient anytime you both wish… she can be promoted to doctor and demoted back to nurse whenever you please.

Role play ideas range from the classic schoolgirl-professor one to some that carry lots of stigma like the daddy dom and little girl/brat one. So long is there is consent, any play is possible.

Anal play

This is one of the common women fetishes. Plus, its not just for women only. Men are also fascinated by anal play. Plus it as common amongst heterosexual sexual partners as it is with the gay ones. You will be surprised at the number of people who get off on butt stuff. This ranges from one being fingered in the a** while having vaginal sex, to actual penetration of the butt hole with a penis or dildo. The prostate – the male g-spot – is what makes men particularly enjoy anal play.

These days anal play has become more socially acceptable, especially with college students exploring their kink whenever they can. And then of course there is the porn industry. There is no lubrication and also the butt hole harbors bacteria which can easily be transferred to the vagina. So if you plan to engage in anal play, cleanliness is key. Use a condom. And the other rule, lube, lube and some more lube…

Impact play

This is another one of the most common fetishes. It simple means spanking, flogging, paddling… pretty much any form of consensual striking during sex. Spanking is usually the most common type of impact play and safest way to begin navigating the world of BDSM. This can range from slight slap on the butt, to some light whacking with a paddle, to using a whip to strike someone during sex.

Safety and comfort are important with such popular fetishes. Boundaries on how hard the impact should be need to be established. Let your partner know the level of intensity that turns you on and choose a safe word if things get out of hand. Do your homework because some parts of the body aren’t safe to impact. The rule of thumb is to only strike the meaty part like the thighs and butt. Avoid areas where there are organs underneath.

Bondage

Bondage is when you and your partner decide to introduce some restraint or BDSM tie into your sex lives. It might sound scary. But if your partner has confessed to this one of the common women fetishes, then this is an exhilarating world to explore in the bedroom. Believe me, the mixture of both pain and pleasure on a human body at once is amazing as a couple gets into a realm of both mental and sexual satisfaction of both control and surrender.

The easiest way to go about it is to bind your partner using objects that you already have in plain sight such as  scarf or belt. You could also get some kinky handcuffs. Since the dominance and submission dynamics come into play with this fetish safety and boundaries are key. There must be consent. Plus like all other most common sexual fetishes that involve some form of dominance and submission, always have a safe word. Communicate about all aspects of bondage and take it slow lest you end up cutting off your partner’s blood circulation

Threesomes and orgies

This is all about getting it on with more than one person. If you have been on hookup online dating sites, you will back me when I say that this is another one of the most popular sexual fetishes among couples. They are always online looking for a third party. Then there are orgies where a group of people of all genders have sex. The other one is gangbang – one person being banged by more than two members. The most common fetishes of this kind is a woman being penetrated by multiple penises. One piece of advice: always use a condom!

Lingerie/ Costumes

One of the most popular fetishes revolves around something that could be sitting in your closet… lingerie. This is even shows up with people who would never in a million years consider themselves kinky or with fetishes. Now, while lots of people get aroused when they see their partners in lingerie or underwear, it becomes a fetish when lingerie MUST in any sexual scenario for one to get aroused… or maintain the arousal in order to get off. There are  also those fetishes that involve one wanting their partner to wear a particular costume…

Voyeurism and exhibitionism

This means that one reaches sexual satisfaction  from watching others who are naked or having sex. As per studies, this also happens to be most common sexual fetishes. This can be varied… from watching porn with your partner while having sex, to sex parties where you get permission to watch others having sex or masturbate.

Exhibitionism on the other hand means that a person gets off by allowing others to watch them. Remember, watching someone without their consent makes this stop being a fetish – it becomes perversion! Whatever the fetish consent is a must. Fetishes can lead to lots of misunderstandings. There is a fine line between having a fetish and being a pervert. And that line is crossed of consent is not obtained.

I hope the above answers your what are the most popular fetishes question and how you can engage in some of the ones you desire to engage in.

3 Most sexual astrological signs

What is the most sexual zodiac sign? Well, if you ask me, I will follow that with another question. What are you looking for? There are some horoscope signs that just ooze sexuality. Do you belong to one of these three that we are about to check out today? Well, let’s begin with the third one and move up to the sexiest astrological sign.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Most people will tell you that this is the third sexiest zodiac sign in astrology. Apparently these people are hard to pin down. They have a whacky sense of humor which is one of the sexy zodiac personality traits. Plus, they can be very deep.

Much as this sign is extremely erotic they are also extreme romantics. That said, do not expect a cancer woman to drop her panties just like that. She prefers commitment more than a one-night stand. But the moment she decides to plunge into a sexual relationship with you, there will be no reservations. What makes them one of the sexiest astrological sign is that they have an oral fixation and can turn herself inside out to make sure the sex is mind-blowing. Nothing is off the table with her.

The men, on the other hand, are nurtures and generous lovers. They love to make love. His old fashioned nature makes him sexy as he will take the lead and teach you phenomenal sex moves. People find cancer to be a sexy horoscope because they focus on pleasing the woman.

With a Cancer, sex is extremely emotional.

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

This is the second most sexual astrological signs. This is a sign of fire. A combination of bold and bright. They love to be in charge. So when you are asking why are Sagittarius so attractive, much as both of them are fire signs, remember Leos are better.

What makes us consider Leo the sexiest zodiac sign is that they are warm-hearted and you will be drawn by the charisma and charm they ooze. Plus, with a Leo, when it comes to matters regarding relationships and sex, you will for sure be the center of their world. And most people find this trait to be sexy. They also love to be the center of attention. This is why they know how to have a good time.

Leo women are very passionate and spontaneous. If you want a woman who is fiery in bed, she fits the cut perfectly. They love to be in control. So the favorite sex position for Leo women will be that of her on top. She wants to control the speed, the depth of the thrust, as well as the angle. She loves the attention so her body will be on display for you to feast your eyes on.

Leo men are born to lead, are confident, and love theatrics. They love attention to them just as much they love to give it to their women. They have a killer smile. And that smile is all you need to make you drop your panties. Leo men love adventure and they are very eager when it comes to trying out new things introduced by their partners.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

What is the most sexual zodiac sign? And the winner is Sexy Scorpio. What’s with craze and the association between Scorpios and sex? Well, it is universally known that they are sexy. Apparently, no one should even question this.

Why is Aquarius so attractive? I think the question here needs to be: Why are Scorpios so hot? What sexy zodiac personality traits make them take the lead here?

First off, they are very energetic and intense. They have a hunger and craving for sex that most zodiac signs can’t match. And this is the main reason why we have ranked them as the number one on our sexy sign list.

If you have ever been in a relationship with a Scorpio, then I am sure you will back me up here. They have an irresistible and magnetic power of attraction. I am talking about the supernatural kind of magnetism. Apparently, even the ones we deem ugly, have the power to get people into bed whenever they want. All they need to do is look at you with their mojo-beam eyes and just say something… and there you are screaming in pleasure.

So really. Why are scorpions so hot?

To be honest, it’s a mystery. And this mysterious aura surrounding them is what turns everyone on. One think that distinguishes the Scorpio from the other signs is that they love the kink. So you better bring out your creative, darkest sexual side.

The women are known for their heightened sexual desires that can be very consuming. She will go to whatever length to have her darkest sexual fantasies come to fulfillment on real life. They will plan on how to execute whatever fantasy they have. She loves to tease… working herself to ‘near ecstasy’ then leaving you both hanging on edge, anticipating hungrily for the consummation.

All this means that Scorpio women love to take the lead in their own fantasy role-play. So you better be ready to be the one being the sub or being whipped. Domination is what satisfied the core of her dark, intense, sexual desires. So if you are the person who moves with the flow, she will take you to a level of satisfaction you have never ever imagined. Sex toys, unusual positions, anal, anything taboo. Bring it on! For her, sex is all about crossing lines and breaking all boundaries.

As for the men, all they think about is sex… anywhere… anytime. The position doesn’t matter to them. All this man cares about is to have a robust sexual experience. Much as he might not have a preferred sex position, he is obsessed with intense levels of arousal. And just like the women, Scorpio men love to tease with all that they have words, his lips, his fingers, and then … Just when you are almost crowning, they stop!

No position or practice is taboo – oral, anal, any kind of stimulation that will push him to edge is what he craves for. He is eager to cross whatever sexual boundaries you might erect for him.

Conclusion:

The thing is, much as we have hailed the Scorpios to be the sexiest zodiac sign in astrology, I believe that there are a lot of other things that usually come to play. Now, if you really think that the Scorpios are the sex gurus, find one and learn a thing or two from them. I don’t believe in living the stereotypes. But have you ever thought to think that maybe all Scorpios are sexy because they believe that to be true about themselves? Well, step out of your comfort zone and try to be as adventurous as they are. It’s time to break those boundaries.

Well, that didn’t last long… even by celeb standards!

Last month, we told you that Pamela Anderson, 52, and 74-year-old producer Jon Peters had tied the knot in Malibu, after rekindling their romance from 30 years ago.

It now seems like they are having second thoughts about their relationship, as reports are claiming that the newlyweds have decided to take some time apart.

Pamela Anderson reportedly flew to Canada on Saturday morning, just a few days after posting a seemingly happy picture of herself and her new husband on her Instagram Story.

However, it turns out that their marriage was not legalized, as the former Baywatch star and A Star Is Born producer never officially signed the paperwork. Which we guess makes the fact that they are ending things a lot easier…

Pamela told fans that she was grateful for the love and support she and Jon had received from the public, and it might not be the end for them…

“I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union,” Pamela Anderson said in a statement.

“We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another.

“Life is a journey and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process.

“Thank you for respecting our privacy.”

Do you think these two will give their marriage another chance?

Interracial gay couples were rare and very secretive in the past because there was a lot of legal suppression of such relationships. Today, things are different. There has been a rise in interracial same-sex couples in the past decades. More and more gay men and women are feeling more confident coming out of the closet. Is this an indicator of positive change? Keep scrolling for more on this topic…

Does seeing more gay interracial couples mean more acceptance?

The unions of interracial same-sex couples have received mixed messages and feelings from society at large. Now one thing we have to admit is that it is harder to be in a gay interracial relationship that it is to be a gay same-race couple or a heterosexual interracial couple.

Now being gay carries its own stigma. Being an interracial couple carries its own stigma too. So imagine being a combination of the two and having to deal with family, friends, and society in general. Race is a complex issue within the gay community. There are some people who view such relationships as those that are breaking a taboo – two taboos!

That said, in recent years it is very easy to spot a gay interracial couple. The numbers between the year 2000 and the year 2010 have increased significantly fast. Plus, gay couples are as likely as heterosexual couples to get into interracial relationships. If anything same-sex couples are most likely to be interracial or interethnic. Plus when looking at the issue of racial composition, black gay men are more likely to date interracially.

Why we are seeing more interracial gay dating

Independence of young adults

The increasing independence of young adults has made them make bolder decisions about their choices of whom they date based on ethnicity and sex.

Geographical mobility

The geographical mobility of young adults also gives them independence from their communities of origin and cultures. According to studies, non-traditional couples (same-sex and interracial) tend to be more geographically mobile.

More support of gay relationships

Looking at the years back, there are more people support same-sex marriage compared to those who see it as taboo. So more people who are in the closet are coming out. At the same time, more states in the U.S., as well as other countries, are legalizing gay marriages and gay rights. And even those who probably haven’t yet legalized the marriages recognize gay rights. The thing is, the acceptance of people of a gay interracial relationship is increasing in every age, ethnicity, and gender since 2004.

Interracial dating is slightly more common in same-sex couples than in heterosexual ones

Looking at the racial and ethnic compositions of same-sex couples gay couples tend to be interracial, especially when it comes to black-white couples. For instance, gay black men are more likely to be in interracial unions. About 1/3 of all gay male relationships are interracial.

The rise in gay interracial dating sites

There are lots of gay interracial dating sites. All you need to do is just search for an interracial gay dating app and you are good to go. Now, much as black gay men as a whole are constantly fighting for acceptance, visibility, and equal rights apparently, this struggle has never stopped them from openly declaring their love for non-black men. For instance, when you go through profiles of gay black men on Grindr and Scuff, you will find lots of “no chocolate” on their profiles.

Homophobic communities

There are communities that are deeply rooted in Christian foundations. For instance, the Black and the Latino communities. So most gay men from such communities grow up as outcasts in their own homes and neighborhoods leading to the “down-low” culture. So they tend to accept their orientation in the dark. Now, most tend to associate this homophobia with all people from their communities. So when they date interracially, they get the opportunity to focus on the relationship without having to deal with all the racial baggage.

Why it is harder being in an interracial gay relationship

One thing we have to agree on is that we are lumping two stressors into one relationship. The race aspect and the same-sex aspect. So this definitely doesn’t make it easier. They get discriminated both for being gay and for being an interracial couple.

The other thing is, you might have gotten acceptance as being an LGBT person but then you can also be pushed out because you fell in love with someone from a different race. So the tolerance of interracial relationships we have fought for and achieved when looking at straight interracial couples can splinter when a same-sex factor is added to the equation.

There is also a higher risk of being discriminated against. Both larger groups, ‘gay couples’ or ‘interracial couples’ may feel threatened by the other with hurtful stereotypes cropping up. For instance, the gay component might see sexual orientation as intrinsic and the interracial aspect as a choice.

The thing is, even gay men on any interracial gay dating app and within society can actually be racist too.

Simply put, some gays can be racist. And people of all races can be homophobes. The gay interracial couple must cope with these issues. Also, they should deal with any consternation visited upon them by the community around them. It can be a heavy burden to bear.

Do interracial gay couples work? Of course, they do. Although it may sound strange, there are actually several advantages to being in a gay interracial relationship. Here are a few

Benefits of being a gay interracial couple

Curiosity Factor

People usually find gay couples that have crossed ethnic boundaries pretty interesting. Genuine curiosity about interracial gay couples is usually aroused. And this curiosity makes people even forget about hating on them and instead they tend to be surprised. Plus, it also makes some even empathize with their struggles.

With gay couples in interracial relationships, people tend to have more questions about how the couple met and making people find out more about you as human beings. Once they get to understand them, there is less hatred the moment they get to know the real person.

Admiration factor

Being a small percentage of the community, in more progressive parts of the country and the world, gay couples tend to be given more positive special attention. Now adding the interracial factor to it, this is not something you see a lot of. So that special attention is doubled because of the exotic flair that comes with it. So whenever you go out, there are those who will always look at you in admiration.

More often than not you only have one family to deal with – or none at all

In most cases, when it comes to interracial relationships, one or the other family is overseas… miles and miles away. So if there is a potentially angry family to deal with, its just one. At the same time, most gay couples usually move away from family members who tend to be homophobic so that they can freely date who they want. So in such cases, you get breathing space away from disapproving family members.

Conclusion

Do interracial gay couples work?

The thing is, much as there has been a growing acceptance to interracial gay couples, it can also be harder finding other couples that share both attributes – gay and interracial. We keep hoping that tolerance and acceptance of both kinds of relationships will become much more widespread. This will also assist gay interracial couples to relax and enjoy their loved ones without constant fear, anxiety, and stress. Here are some of the best summer holiday destinations for gay couple.

There is always a silver lining. The thing is, we need to look at interracial dating in the LGBT community as a beautiful thing. Yes, it might still be a touchy issue for some people but we are getting somewhere. People’s refusal to see such relationships as anything but beautiful is an indicator of internal issues as well as backwardness.  Dating outside of your race is not an indication of internalized race issues and self-hatred.

The thing when we look at the issue at hand, clearly,  LGBT have to face pressures and difficulties because of sexuality and then also deal with race too. But you know what, people are making it work. Whether we like it or not, there will always be bigots and racists to deal with. But hey, let’s look at the bright side… The numbers are showing that there is increased acceptance. And for me, that is a good thing.

Khloe Kardashian has made no secret of the fact that she is hurt and confused by Caitlyn Jenner’s public comments about their alleged ongoing feud.

Anyone watching Caitlyn on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! will know that she has mentioned (on more than one occasion) that she and Khloe have been feuding for years.

And according to reports, Khloe is “hurt” and “blindsided” by the comments…

“Khloe rejects the notion they’re still beefing,” a source told TMZ.

“She’s hurt by Caitlyn’s accusation there’s tension.”

On the TV show, Caitlyn Jenner told her I’m a Celeb campmates that she and Khloe haven’t talked for over five years – with one of her reasons being because of her transition.

“Khloe for some reason was pissed off about something through this whole process,” Caitlyn Jenner said on the show, in relation to her coming out as transgender in 2015.

“Honestly, it’s been five, six years and I really haven’t talked to her since. I don’t know what it is, and that’s all I can say.”

However, according to reports, Khloe was “completely supportive” of Caitlyn’s sex change, and the feud was actually to do with Caitlyn’s comments about Khloe’s mother, Kris Jenner, in her recent memoir. Something which all of the Kardashian/Jenner girls were reportedly unhappy with – not just Khloe!

Plus, Khloe reportedly texted Caitlyn on her 70^th birthday this year, and also sent her an enormous bunch of roses, which we definitely wouldn’t do if were actively feuding with someone.

What is Caitlyn Jenner playing at in the jungle? Is this part of a game plan? Watch this space!

Megan Fox has revealed that she suffered a psychological breakdown at the height of her career.

The 33-year-old actress opened up to Entertainment Tonight about how being hypersexualized in Hollywood had affected her ten years ago. She told the publication that being regarded as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood had traumatic effects on her mental health.

She opened up about her constant fear of being mocked, and admitted that she had reached “breaking point” when her movie Jennifer’s Body was released back in 2009…

“I think I had a genuine psychological breakdown where I wanted just nothing to do,” she shared with Entertainment Tonight.

“I didn’t want to be seen, I didn’t want to have to take a photo, do a magazine, walk a carpet, I didn’t want to be seen in public at all because the fear, and the belief, and the absolute certainty that I was going to be mocked, or spat at, or someone was going to yell at me, or people would stone me or savage me for just being out … so I went through a very dark moment after that.”

Things got even worse for the actress after she spoke out about how Transformers director Michael Bay had mistreated her. And she definitely felt that her career suffered because of her honesty…

“I feel like I was sort of out and in front of the #MeToo movement before the #MeToo movement happened, I was speaking out and saying, ‘Hey, these things are happening to me and they’re not OK,’” she continued.

“And everyone was like, ‘Oh well, f–k you. We don’t care, you deserve it.’ Because everybody talked about how you looked or how you dressed or the jokes you made.”

Despite the sudden pause in her Hollywood career, Megan Fox revealed that her marriage to Brian Austin Green and their three children – Noah, Journey, and Bodhi – helped her put things into perspective…

“I think it took getting pregnant ― that was the first real breakthrough where my consciousness shifted and my mind opened up and I was able to see from a bird’s-eye view and breath and take it in,” she said.

“And then another kid, and then another kid and with every kid I feel like that’s always been the doorway into a better version of myself.”

We’re glad that Megan Fox has opened up about her struggles, and are relieved to hear that she is back to feeling like her best self!

Bella Thorne and YouTuber ex-girlfriend Tana Mongeau are no longer on speaking terms, following a seemingly amicable break-up earlier this year.

Bella Thorne made no secret of the fact that she was in an open relationship with rapper Mod Sun and Tana Mongeau for almost a year, before revealing that she and Tana were over back in February.

“Tana and I aren’t together anymore, pls stop asking. We love U guys,” she wrote on social media at the time.

“i love her forever don’t get that twisted. she changed my life forever. don’t rly wanna talk on it.. there’s no negativity at all.”

The exes seemed to still be friendly towards each other after their relationship ended. Until very recently…

Just a few weeks ago, Tana Mongeau got engaged to fellow YouTube star Jake Paul, which might (although there’s no way of knowing for sure) have something to do with Bella’s social media post…

“Tana and I are no longer good. She broke girl code I’m over it,” the Shake It Up actress mysteriously Tweeted yesterday.

“U legit started dating me for twitter.. how about u answer ur phone and talk to me instead of being on Twitter,” Bella added, seemingly directed to her ex, to which Tana replied:

“dude what are you doing bella? like i have no idea why you’re mad, i’ve been texting you every minute since you tweeted, and for you to be tweeting me something as hurtful as saying I dated you for Twitter is literally f***ing nuts & if you honestly think that damn i lost you.”

We would give anything to find out what happened after the girls seemingly took their disagreement offline, away from prying eyes…

Tana and Jake Paul will be getting married on July 28, and in true YouTube fashion, will be live-streaming the entire ceremony. We wouldn’t expect any different!

Bella Thorne is now dating model Benjamin Mascolo, although we highly doubt they will be making an appearance ay Tana and Jake’s wedding.

We cannot run away from strong emotions but we sure can get better at managing them. The thing is, technological advancements have made it easier for human beings to access information. And unfortunately, not all of it is positive. The negative kind tend to make us feel bad emotionally. At the same time, no one lives in a bubble. So we are always meeting individuals who some rub off on us the wrong way. Are you telling yourself I wanna get better at handling the emotions?

Well, today on Love is all colors, we bring you some of these tips. Scroll on…

What is emotional intelligence?

To simply put it, emotional intelligence is one’s ability to recognize and manage their own emotions. This also applies to one’s ability to manage the emotions of other individuals. The questions to ask yourself is: Am I aware of the emotions? Can I connect these emotions and apply them appropriately? Can I manage my emotions or help other people emotionally?

According to psychologists, there is no authorized psychometric test for this.  So emotional intelligence is just a way of gauging a person’s interpersonal skills. That said though, people are still subjected to this test. For instance, psychologists and even some employees will ask some questions to figure out where a person stands. Most of the questions asked are mainly about how one deals with specific situations. They are scenario based.

So someone who is emotionally intelligent is supposed to be conscious of their emotions, both positive and negative and manage them accordingly. They can also pick up on the emotions of others and offer a helping hand into managing them. For instance, this is a person who has the ability to cheer up a sad friend.

Characteristics of an emotionally intelligent person

1. Awareness of the emotions, both positive and negative so as not to let them take control of them.
2. Ability to control these emotions
3. Self-motivation hence they tend to be very productive and effective
4. They are empathetic. They prefer to understand what one might be going through given their circumstances as opposed to judging them too quickly.
5. They have strong social skills. Such individuals are team players and are better at mitigating disputes between individuals and maintaining long-term relationships.
   

Tips on getting better at managing emotions

“I wanna get better at managing my emotions.” Is that what you are aiming for? The thing is some things happen in our lives that can take us from being calm to full on rage in a nanosecond. Can you be aware of this when it happens? We can’t run away from such things. All we can do is learn to manage such situations. Well here are some tips to help you get better at managing these emotions and those of others in a fashionable manner.

Just breathe

We encounter situations that might leva us feeling distressed or anxious. So we find ourselves breathing rapidly. This can be countered by something as simple as inhaling slowly, deeply and steadily thereby giving a person the well-deserved control in order to stay calm. Take a few deep breaths and you will be good to go. You need to feel relaxed and the deep breaths will do this for you.

Listen to your body

Our bodies have a way of talking to us when our emotions change. Are you breathing heavily after seeing something or after receiving some news? Are your muscles clenching? Is there a sudden feeling of nausea? These among others are some of the things you should be paying attention to. You need to be in a position to identify emotional changes.

Wiggle your toes. Bend your knees. And as we said above, breathe. These might seem like minute exercises but trust me, they go a long way to manage some of the instant emotions that bombard us.

Have a slogan to help you calm you

“I am well.” “This shall pass”. When looking for self improvement goals for work or personal ones, turn to mantras and slogans that you feel are powerful enough and that you believe in. “I will overcome this too!” Say it and mean it. Even when things are tough, there is always a bigger picture. Being positive will help you handle the emotions better and get better faster.

Encourage a friend

When it comes to emotions, its never just about us. Other people also come in to play. Other people arouse emotions in us too. And the opposite goes. If a friend is ill, how about some get well things to say to help them in getting better? If two people are fighting, try mitigating without taking sides. Empathize as opposed to judging. Put yourself in their shoes. That way you will understand what they are going through and maybe understand why they slapped you in the first place (lol).

Jot it down!

What is stressing you? Write it down. Yes, diaries might be overrated but trust me, there is a reason teenagers have them. Their emotions are all over the place and clearly, writing them out works. How about having an inventory of your emotions. What are the triggers for the bad ones? Do this daily. If you are in a position to avoid some situations that trigger the negative ones, then do so. Get a diary!

Identify what is within your control

Identify! That is the keyword. We have no control over what situations that we bump into on a daily basis. Plus, depending on the individual, two situations can’t be handled the same. There are things that you can control and there are those that are out of your control. Can you walk away from those that you cant? Are there some that you can actually know how things are going to pun out when you take a specific action? Try and balance these things. If it’s too much for you, especially if someone else is involved, just walk away.
