Why it's OK to let friendships fade out - BBC News

Image
"Relationships aren't all or nothing," says Nelson. If there's someone you truly want to reach back out to but feel awkward doing so because it's been so long, you could say something like: "'Oh my goodness, my head is finally above water. I have thought about you so many times over the past year, and I am so sorry that we lost touch'," she says. "I just wanted to let you know that you were missed. If you have time, I would love to meet you for that walk we always talk about' or 'I can't wait to get back into the office'." "Just acknowledge it and say, 'I wish we were able to keep in touch, but we weren't able to'," continues Nelson. "I think everybody understands that." Another situation many people find themselves in is having reconnected with old friends from years ago during the pandemic, like old pals from university. And while that was a gift for many amid the health crisis, you ...

Taurus & Aquarius Zodiac Sign Compatibility, According To Astrologers - Bustle

Image
Taurus and Aquarius are two signs that you wouldn't think would be attracted to each other. For instance, Taurus has a more traditional approach to sex and relationships. They enjoy being wined and dined the old-school way, like taking things slow, and are most comfortable when they stick to a routine. Aquarius, on the other hand, is the unique and unconventional water bearer. They're innovative, love pushing boundaries, and become easily bored with relationships that become too predictable. But despite these differences, the bull and the water bearer balance each other out pretty well. Taurus and Aquarius' zodiac compatibility will tell you what you need to know about this fixed sign couple. In general, earth and air sign pairings don't always make the best matches. Earth signs tend to get along more with water signs, and air signs are better suited for fire signs. However, astrologer Simone Pinkhasova tells Bustle, "Taurus and Aquarius express contrasting eleme...

23 Wedding Favours For Your Guests, From Sweets To Mini Cocktail Bottles - elle.com

Image
Wedding favours are the perfect way to help your guests remember your big day and to show gratitude to them for being a valuable part of it. Similar to a party bag at children's birthday parties, a wedding keepsake is a small gift given by couples as a way of saying 'thank you' to guests for attending one of the most loving moments in their lives. While sugared almonds were the go-to present centuries ago at weddings, favours have since had a modern makeover. Miniature candles, bottle openers, sweets and drams of alcohol are now popular choices, as are chocolates and wildflower seeds. Prices for wedding favours vary so you'll want to keep in mind how many guests are on your wedding list, their dietary requirements and alcohol preferences (if providing edible gifts), as well as how to remain as sustainable as possible. While wedding favours aren't necessarily a must, they're a sweet way of showering your nearest and dearest with love. From sweets to pla...

In April, the House Judiciary Committee held a historic vote on H.R. 40, a bill that would create a federal commission to study "the lingering negative effects of the institution of slavery" in the U.S. — looking at various forms of "economic, political, education...
