Life & Love Commentary: The Spotless Mind
By GMO Contributor Adiat Baker
On a stormy Sunday afternoon, I prepared to do what most people do after working a long week: Stay at home, cuddle on the couch and watch a good movie. Instead of watching my favorite romantic films, i.e. Love & Basketball, Love Jones, etc., I decided to watch something I hadn’t seen before. After rummaging through a box of old DVD’s, I came across Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) staring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
The "New" Way to Date
Gone are the days when you sit by your home phone just waiting for a guy to call, either to set up a date or to follow-up after what you deemed the “perfect” evening shared between two people. Forget that your “house phone” didn’t have caller ID and maybe not even call waiting. So, not only would you not be able to identify when he was calling, there was also the possibility that you could actually miss the call because someone else in your home was on the line. Perhaps your sister was on the phone while “Mr. Right Now” was getting the sound of a busy signal on the other end.
With the economy not looking its best and job security becoming less stable, it may be safe to say that "dating" has become a toilsome and infrequent task among young adults. And while we all surely appreciate being "wined and dined," sometimes dates can be too expensive for the struggling, part-time job working, full-time college going, student loan owing man. So, us ladies at GlossMagazineOnline have come up with a list of some of the best, cheap--and sometimes free--dates around town.

Remembering Your Blessings
My friend on Facebook recently started putting her blessings of the day as her statuses, which obviously got me to thinking about a few things. Some of the blessings were big, while some of others were small. Within a matter of weeks, I started to notice the blessings just kept on coming for her. I couldn’t help but to think: “God has been really good to her.”

Growing up as a woman, you go through trials and tribulations to “find” yourself. Houston native Kim Bady was once a preacher’s wife, went through a divorce and afterwards started a journal that turned into a book called “Authentically Me.”
Setting Realistic New Year’s Resolutions
We’ve all been there, and we’ve all had that feeling. “It’s a new year, a new start, a new me,” right? We all know that sentiment of righteousness, the feeling that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to because of a “fresh” start. We can all identify with feeling as if each year brings another opportunity to start over.
