With Halloween fast approaching, singles everywhere are starting to think about their costumes! A recent survey by Match.com showed that nearly one-third of Canadians prefer funny halloween costumes over any other type. Whether you’re attending a Halloween party, going to a club or a lounge, or taking the children you love trick-or-treating, there’s a lot of time and effort that goes into

March is a very common month to feel the wrath of the winter-dulls! After a long winter, we're aching to do fun-in-the-sun activities, summer romances, and sexy nights on the beach. Here are a few of my tips to spice up the romance when it's still cold outside: Last Chance to Go Skating: Before the snow melts, bring your partner to a cute outdoor rink and go skating! Participating in activities

These are the top 3 behaviours I’ve seen in men over the years that are red flags in any relationship. If you think he’s ready to commit, read these top three to ensure that he’s long-term material. Warning Sign #1 – He Doesn’t Speak about Your ‘Future’.  If your beau is not talking about long-term plans with you for at least 2, 3, or 5 years ahead, this is a sign that he hasn’t entertained any

1. He Can't Cook: Has he ever attempted to sweep you off your feet with a romantic meal? If not, there's a good chance he's avoiding this domestic date because his culinary skills are under-par. This is a huge sign that mom is still feeding him, and his motivation to leave the nest will be dwindling by the year. 2. He Listens to his Mom over You: Ask yourself -- who has more influence over his

YES! If you're single and looking for a partner, a pet owner is an attractive candidate! Pet owners can make better partners if you're looking for someone loyal, responsible, committed, and secure. Pet owners practice the daily exercise of looking after their pets -- through the fun and not-so-fun times, which is a sign of long term commitment and a realistic outlook on relationships. If

Dear Kimberly, I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we are in a vicious cycle of breaking up and getting back together. What happens is at least once a month I realize that the relationship is toxic. I start to distance myself by picking a fight or arguing with him. This ALWAYS ends in me packing my bags and storming away only to find myself calling him a few days later because I miss him

The latest season of "The Bachelor" premiered last night on City TV, with heartthrob Jake Pavelka, who is most well known for his breaking of the 'man code' on last season of the Bachelorette. Most of us groan as we hear the new Bachelorettes say "I'm in love!" the first time that they see the new bachelors. Television programs like this make us wonder, "Is it really possible to fall in love

I have a growing number of clients who are "romancing" online - and it's become so prevalent I figured it was worth addressing in my blog. In short, the answer is... (drumroll please!) YES! Online dating does indeed work..... but only if you're willing to put up with the pitfalls! Pitfall #1 - It's Time Consuming! If you're planning to meet a man online, be ready to think of it as a 'part

What makes a perfect girlfriend?100 men were interviewed for a segment with Cosmo TV, and here are the top 3 answers.1. She listens:Men love to feel that their thoughts are being heard. While it's obvious that women love to be listened to, men too need feedback for their feelings and thoughts. It's great to let someone know that their thoughts are being heard. This is a sign of a great partner.2.

I have heard many moms speak about how they need to do more for their loved ones: feed the family, maintain a career, receive glowing reviews from all sources. But what kind of a toll does this take on a person? What consequences result when moms constantly put others before themselves?Mothers are the most guilty for spending too much time on others, and not enough time on themselves.When was the

The TV program Wipeout premiered this Wednesday - a program that involves contestants completing ridiculous tasks, falling, tripping, and making fools of themselves.Back in University, I studied by the windows in the University Centre at the University of Guelph. One day, I sat by the window of an ice patch, and one-by-one, as people walked by, they would slip and fall on the ice. Like a child,

As we now know, stress and infertility go hand in hand. Many women have now turned to psychotherapy as a way to increase their chances of becoming pregnant.As I mentioned in my last post, I have decided to start up an interactive psychotherapy group for women. Women who are interested in this group should contact me directly via my website or email address, kimberlymoffit@yahoo.com. Here are the

Infertility can cause stress.... there's no doubt about that.But can stress cause infertility? Yes. New studies prove that stress is a primary factor in predicting whether a woman will have the ability to conceive.In a recent study published by the Journal Study of Fertility and Sterility, researcher Alice Domar studied 184 women who had been trying to get pregnant for one to two

As a psychotherapist, I've witnessed how the role of the mother can affect one's development, relationships, attachment, and self image over the course of their lives. Both men and women form essential relationships with the giver of all things: nurturing, food, love, care and unconditional love.Moms today have a huge responsibility to fulfill the needs of their children: their role will have an

How important is it to have good girlfriends? As a psychotherapist, and as a woman, I've realized that the powers of a girl-bond extend much deeper than one might think.Yesterday, while shooting a segment for Cosmo TV, I was asked about "girl crushes." I talked with the host about about why women develop admiration and bond with each other. The host mentioned "Bromance," and how it's becoming

As many readers probably know, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is listed as a depressive disorder in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). It's no surprise that the 1994 addition of PMDD in the DSM-IV was one of the most controversial contributions in DSM history. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder indicates
