Article: Wrap shirts can do wonders for a woman's body. Wrap shirts are great for the post-pregnancy body as they can minimize bulge but still accentuate curves. They are also very functional as they make nursing much easier. Tunic sweaters are comfortable as well as fashionable. Their wide necklines can be feminine and show off some skin. This draws attention away from your stomach and hips, which can also be hidden by the length of the sweater. You want to be comfortable and fashionable. This may be hard to do if your body is still going through some uncomfortable changes. Sometimes, the right answer is to be the most comfortable and fashion will follow. Add some stretch to your wardrobe like some cute yoga pants. Regardless of how you think you look after a pregnancy, you are exemplifying one of the greatest gifts that nature provides. Be proud of your body! One way you can do this is to ditch the shapeless clothes and instead wear drapey fabrics and dresses. You are now a busy mom. You may not have the time to spend picking out the perfect wardrobe. But, you can add some chic accessories to your comfortable outfit to spice up your look. Pair a colorful scarf to a solid sweater. Wear a wide belt on your flowy dress to define your waist and hide your midsection. Wear sparkling earrings and bracelets to bring attention to your ears and hands rather than your belly.

Article: You do not need to get deep with someone, talking about your life, work, and goals or dreams. Casual flirting is more about smiles, light teasing, and occasional touching. If they reciprocate, then you're likely developing a rapport that can lead to a casual fling. Some hints to drop while flirting include: "I've had my share of relationships, and I am definitely not looking for any commitment right now." "I'm just here to have fun and meet someone cute." You need to be clear and upfront with someone you are hooking up with from the beginning. If you are not you may lead someone to expect more than you are willing to give, ending in one-sided relationships that will end poorly for everyone. While this conversation can be awkward, the best advice is to come right out and say what you want: "I am not looking to start a relationship or begin dating." "I want something casual, not a girlfriend/boyfriend." "Let's have something light and fun." There is no need to be gushy, overly-loving, or cuddly if you both want a quick hook-up. You wouldn't kiss your friend and send them flowers at work, so you shouldn't do it with a casual sexual relationship. But there is also no need to act ashamed, awkward, or aloof when with someone. Have a sense of humor about everything, enjoy each other's company, and keep things light. This will allow you to get everything out in the open, preventing bottled up emotions or stepping over the line. When you see someone again the next day, be kind and cordial -- a hug and hello is not the same as asking for a date. You need to be upfront if you are keeping multiple partners "on-retainer." If you are hooking up with more than one person, your partner deserves to know. Remember, however, that if they take offense or would rather be with someone exclusively then you can both easily go your separate ways. If they believe you are exclusive and you keep seeing them, they may get the idea the relationship is going to develop into something more serious. Casually bring up funny, light, or interesting stories of other hook-ups to make it clear you are not exclusive. "I'm not looking to be exclusive right now, I hope that's okay with you?" Apps like Tinder and Grindr were developed to help people interested in finding casual relationships in their area. You can download them for your phone, make a quick profile, and start talking with someone in your area almost immediately. Always meet in a public location first. Don't ever give personal or financial information -- your name is more than enough. Drive yourself to and from your meet-up location. Tell a friend or family member your plans to meet someone, your location, and when you plan on returning. If you or your partner starts to fall in love, but the other person still wants to stay casual, you need to end the relationship. Trying to "work through" it, or convince someone to drop their feelings and go back to something less intense will never work, and the longer you stay together the stronger the feelings will get. Remember that this began as something casual -- it can end casually too. Things to say include: "This has been fun, but I'd like to look for something a little more serious." "This has been fun, but I'm not available for anything serious right now, and I'm going to see some other people." If something is in the early stages, stop making a move or trying to flirt, even if you think it is "harmless."

Article: If it's possible to give your friend another chance, creating a concrete time frame for them to improve performance by coaching or training them toward a specific set of goals. Schedule weekly meetings to discuss improvement. Make it clear that your friend's job will be terminated if the new set of goals is not met in the time discussed. If it doesn't happen, go through with the termination knowing that you gave them as much of a chance as possible. Document your discussion and keep this report with your employee records. You may need to deal with objections by referring to the documentation of your previous conversations, so keep good records. If it's in your power, you might consider reorganizing your friend's job to essentially demote your friend, or give them an opportunity to save face by quitting. You'll need to have a similar conversation, letting them know that their performance isn't up to par, but that you value their friendship and wanted to offer them this opportunity in a job with fewer responsibilities. Organize the position such that your friend's weaknesses might be lessened by the new position, making it a win-win. Your friend either gets to leave the company for greener pastures, or stay on in a position in which there is an opportunity for success. Alternatively, consider a promotion or a transfer. While this might be considered "passing the buck," if you can get rid of your friend without firing them outright, you can avoid the ugly confrontation. If you can get your friend a new job with a similar company, you'll have solved both your problems. It may be that there is too much conflict of interest involved in your firing your friend. In this case, talk to either a supervisor, subordinate, or the HR department at your company to plan for another course of action.

Lay out a plan for improved performance. Change your friend's job title or job description. Let someone else do it.
