Perfectionism (psychology)
Perfectionism, in psychology, is a personality trait characterized by a person's striving for flawlessness and setting high performance standards, accompanied by critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations. It is best conceptualized as a multidimensional characteristic, as psychologists agree that there are many positive and negative aspects. In its maladaptive form, perfectionism drives people to attempt to achieve unattainable ideals or unrealistic goals, often leading to depression and low self-esteem. By contrast, adaptive perfectionism can motivate people to reach

Walking in the United Kingdom
Walking is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the United Kingdom, and within England and Wales there is a comprehensive network of rights of way that permits access to the countryside.

In Scotland the ancient tradition of universal access to land was formally codified under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. However, there are few rights of way, or

Divorce is very stressful.
I know, clashing with your spouse can be very stressful.
It is something I hope to never go through again.
The legal process is very stressful. I hate going to court, especially when your trying to decide who gets the property.
Custody disputes are horrible for all involved.

I believe this has been a very stressful period for all concerned. It is regrettable that the relationship we once shared when my daughter attended your school has deteriorated over time. I hold no ill feeling against you the school, or any other parties related to this matter. My only concern now is to get on with my life and put the past four years

Hi! I am Heather. I LOVE Bacon... I just ate eggs with bacon/cheese in it. Too bad it's salt-cured port.
I could eat bacon with every meal. Apple wood smoked bacon is amazing.
Oh yes me too, I LOVE BACON! I cannot eat bacon in my ice cream though.
Yes that is a bit too much for me. I do like bacon in my chocolate though.
I never had chocolate covered bacon, but I seen it at fairs. The ice cream bacon is just bacon added to egg custard but IDK it sounds gross.
I think my favorite kind of ice cream is pistachio flavored.
I love that smooth semi-solid, flavor of chocolate. YUMMY I add melted peanut butter, OMG it's amazing.
I was never a big fan of chocolate and peanut butter mixed together.

Peanut butter
Peanut butter is a food paste or spread made from ground dry-roasted peanuts. It often contains additional ingredients that modify the taste or texture, such as salt, sweeteners, or emulsifiers. Peanut butter is popular in many countries. The United States is a leading exporter of peanut butter and itself consumes $800 million of peanut butter annually.
Peanut butter is served as a spread on bread, toast, or crackers, and used to make sandwiches (notably the peanut butter and jelly sandwich).

I like wearing makeup but don't do mine much in the summer. I end up just sweating it off haha
I enjoy using a bit of mascara and eye shadow from time to time. I just dislike taking it off at the end of the day.
I always forget but never looks too bad the next morning. It's definitely not good for my skin though. I'm not big on foundation anyway so could be worse
The word cosmetics includes not just makeup but also skin cleansers, skin lotions, shampoo and even perfume. That's a lot of products!
I always thought of cosmetics as just makeup. That is a lot of products
Interesting enough the FDA defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions"
Thats a very thorough definition but clear. That's very interesting

I don't know what the hell he got a hold of, man, but it just whacked him. And the next thing I know, he axed my door down in the Albert Hotel. They said at the reception area that this crazy guy had held an ax to the doorman's head

I'm certified to teach yoga -- but haven't taught in years! My practice and teaching was Hatha yoga -- have you ever tried it?
i have tried it but not serious
There are so many different types -- for a while I was into Bikram yoga, or "hot yoga". Was there a certain type that you tried?
just your basic posses which, to tell you the truth, may not have been authentic yoga, sort of Americanized yoga
Interesting you note that -- you're right, in the 80s yoga became more popular in the Western world. Some Indians I know found it funny, because yoga was more like something they did at home, like brushing their teeth!
what seems funny, some parent do not want their kids doing yoga because they think it is some type of religion

gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century with his adaptation of yoga tradition, excluding asanas. Outside India, it has developed into a posture-based physical fitness, stress-relief and relaxation technique. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core. One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is

I really like basketball-My favorite team is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Are you a basketball fan?
Yes I am and I like the Cleveland Cavaliers too. I started following that team ever since Dan Gilbert got it in March 2005.
Is he the owner?
Yes he is, he actually owns several sports franchines in addition to the Cavaliers like the AHL team Cleveland Monsters and AFL Cleveland Gladiators.
Sounds Like he is very involved in Cleveland sports. What year did Lebron James come back to play for Cleveland?
I believe he came back in 2014 after he played on the Maimi Heat team.
I really like to watch him play, I think is the best player of all time--even better than Michael Jordan.
That is something the fans definitely have heated debates over. Whats amazing to me is that Jordan played 15 seasons for the Chicago Bulls.
Yeah, and How many championships did Michael Jordan Have?
