Article: Because your partner is going to be gone much of the time, you need to develop your own interests and sense of self. Of course, that's a good idea in any relationship, but it's especially good when you need to fend for yourself for months on end. Make sure to develop a social network outside of your partner, as well as your own hobbies and interests. For instance, try joining local hobby clubs that interest you or taking classes at a nearby community college. It's important to develop your own life because otherwise, you may end up very unhappy in the relationship, as the band will draw your partner away a good amount of time. If you're unhappy, the relationship isn't going to last. If your partner is in a band, he or she may be moderately or even really famous. That means that you may have other people trying to cut into your time with them. You may also find that people are trying to get into bed with your partner. It can be a difficult part of the lifestyle to deal with for you, but it's part of being in a band. Therefore, if you want to stay with your current partner, you have to decide to deal with this aspect of the relationship. If people are constantly interrupting your time while you're trying to have a date, it may be time to take it somewhere private so you can actually spend time with each other. In addition, you probably worry about your partner cheating on you, especially if he or she goes on tour, but it really comes down to whether you trust the person or not. If your partner has the integrity not to cheat on you at home, he or she won't do it on the road, either. Being a band is a lot of work, and everyone around can be dragged in, including you. You need to know exactly what you're willing to do and lay that out clearly to your partner. For instance, you may be willing to help with setup, but you may not be willing to host the band every other night for a giant party. You know you need enough sleep to feel good and be healthy. When you live someone who lives a bit of an alternative lifestyle, it may be more difficult to get the number of hours you need. However, getting enough sleep is important to relationship success because it helps you maintain self-control, which is essential for healthy relationships. Plus, it makes you happier overall, which in turn, contributes to the relationship. Eating a healthy diet is an important part of taking care yourself and being present in a relationship. When your partner is often away, it can be harder to motivate yourself to cook and eat healthily. However, studies have shown that when you don't eat enough, for instance, it can make you angry and more aggressive in relationships.

Article: Choose a tall vase and place it next to your TV. Add some long branches (bare, leafy, or flowering) into the vase to make it taller than your TV. Choose something that is shorter than your TV, such as a lamp, and place it on the other side of your TV. Other great options include statues, busts, figurines, and picture frames. If you like symmetry, place identical items to either side of the TV instead. Potted plants or topiaries make great choices. Place matching lamps or vases to either side of your TV, and something long and skinny, such as a wooden planter, beneath it. Make sure that none of the items obstruct the screen. If you put plants into the planter, keep them subtle, otherwise they will distract from the TV. Succulents or silk hydrangea blooms work great. Other great items to place below the screen include candle votives or pieces of driftwood. Drape evergreen branches or garlands along the top of the stand, just in front of the TV. Decorate the garland with ornaments and LED pillar candles. If you want to decorate for other holidays, try some of the following ideas: Switch out the pine garland for one made from silk fall leaves. Decorate the garland with pinecones and acorns. Make paper garlands featuring images from whatever holiday you are celebrating, such as hearts, shamrocks, or bats. Drape a white tinsel garland over the TV stand, then decorate it with plastic Easter eggs. Push the electronics towards the back of the shelf to make some room. Fill the space in front of the electronics with books or decorative boxes. You can also install doors onto cabinet, then close them when you are not using the electronics. Examples of electronics include gaming counsels, DVD players, music players, etc. If you don't use these items more than once or twice a week, then consider hiding them. Choose something that is about the length of your TV, and tall enough to fit under the frame. Place this item in front of the TV to hide the stand. Make sure that the item does not obstruct the diode at the bottom of the TV frame, or you won't be able to use the remote. This option only works for standing TVs. Wall-mounted TVs do not have a base on which to stand. Great options include long candle holders, drift wood, and garlands. You can even line up small items instead. Shelving units with open backs and fronts are great candidates for extra storage. Instead of stuffing them with plastic tubs or cardboard boxes, choose decorative storage baskets or boxes that match your decor, and use those instead. You can find beautiful, decorative boxes in craft stores and fabric stores. Some are even made to look like decoupaged luggage! Baskets don't have to be woven. You can use fabric ones, crochet ones, or even metal ones! If you can't find a box that matches your decor, decoupage it!
