Women and wine go together like melted chocolate and strawberries. It’s one of the most sacred, functional relationships known to man.

Who needs a boyfriend when you can curl up on the couch with a big old glass of vino? You don’t have to worry about another person’s needs, wishes or dreams — with a glass of wine by your side, everything will be OK.

There are a lot of problems in this big, scary world, but an excess of wine could never be one of them. When it comes to wine, more is better. Always.

All women love wine; we’re certainly united on this front, but the difference falls on preference. Are you a red wine or a white wine drinker? Most women prefer one or the other. You’ll definitely hear “I only drink white” or “I only drink red.”

Things that I wish I knew earlier. Things that I’ve learned in real life.

There is a particular aspect of mental strength that is the deciding factor of whether or not you will have a good life. There are many levels to mental strength and all are needed to be successful and happy. The one particular area of mental strength that has the greatest impact is that of emotional strength.

Emotions are, of course, a part of our psyche, yet nevertheless, can be distinguished from the remainder of mental qualities because they most directly influence our physical body. They affect the way our body functions and they drive every single one of our actions. Without emotion, we would have no reason to act, to do anything with ourselves.

Emotions are our greatest motivators. Unfortunately, they can motivate us to act in any direction, even the wrong one. For this reason, emotional strength is essential. There are countless situations that emotionally strong people avoid and many actions they never take. Here are 15 of them:

The sad reality is — it’s all a bit fuzzy.
