Are you distracting yourself from being happier?
You always want to be doing. If something or someone is moving too slowly for your warp-speed ways, you’re likely to stomp off in frustration. Your quick mind is also easily bored, and so rather than see something through, you’ll dart off to the next item that catches your attention.
Your hot temper can lead to some ill-advised (dare we say childish) tantrums. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You’re also blessed with unconquerable optimism. When you’re moody, you don’t dwell on it. Just remember, it’s not what happens to you in life, it’s how you deal with it. And that’s one thing you can always control!
Do you need to slow things down, Aries?
Competitive, assertive, and impatient, you hate to wait—on anybody or anything, including information. While others are left a bit breathless by today’s fast-paced world, it suits you just fine. You probably have the speediest car and the fastest internet connection in the neighborhood.
And moving is great for your health. A sedentary life is bad for the body and can lead to diabetes and other diseases. The key is to not become combative or aggressive, or push people to meet your timetable. Remember to consider what’s best for others, too!
Are Aries most likely to stray?
Aries flirts with abandon and won’t waste a moment if someone interesting appears on the scene. And by “interesting” we mean the equal of Aries in energy, excitement, and adventurousness! Shrinking violets won’t even register on the radar. Indecisive nitpicking whiners? No way!
This white-hot sign needs spice, variety, and passion, if love is to endure. If they’re lacking, they’ll just move on to the next conquest du jour. Match their intensity, appreciate their uniqueness, and lavish admiration on your Aries sweetie and you’ll have a partner for life.
Shop smart for the Ram in your life…
It can be hard to find just the right gift for nit-picky Aries. This sign can be something of a daredevil, so perhaps some lessons in flying, surfing, horseback riding, or parachuting would fill the bill.
How about fire for a fire sign? The latest outdoor grill and all the right tools have “Aries” written all over them.
Does the recipient have a hobby? Add to their collection with more bits and pieces, as well as a handsome storage box for clearing it all out of the way. Aries loves DIY projects, so specialty tools and how-to books would always be welcome.
What an Aries must have in their long-term partner…
You love the thrill of the chase, but once you find your true love, you can be one of the most faithful, loving partners around. Just who is that perfect match? Someone who is passionate, idealistic, active, and supportive, not stubborn. Your ideal mate knows that you need breathing room (fire needs oxygen, after all) and you need to go your own way at your own pace. And most important of all? You need someone who pays attention to you. Ignoring Aries is like ignoring a campfire in drought-stricken California. You end up with a firenado on your hands, and nobody wants that!
More play, more romps in the hay!
Heat things up in the bedroom with a few new playthings and turn routine into risqué! Try a new vibrator, from soft and squishy to multi-textural and variable pressure, in unexpected erogenous zones like the forearm—really! How about a “guybrator” that pleasures both partners? Dot arousal balm everywhere you want to experience a warm, tingling sensation. Try pleasure beads that promise a workout with the bliss. And last, but not least, light an aromatic massage candle, blow out the flame, and pour the fragrant liquid heat on yourself or your partner!
These jewels do much more than just sparkle on Aries!
Isn’t it fitting that the hardest natural substance on Earth is your birthstone? Diamonds are the very essence of fire. In fact, the ancients believed them to be crystallized lightning and slivers of stars. No matter how (or where) you wear them, you’re sure to dazzle with one spectacular light show!
Another of your gems is bloodstone—or blood jasper —quartz flecked with your metal, iron. While they signify martyrdom (so not Aries), in India, they’re thought to be an aphrodisiac. Why not do some experimentation of your own?
Take so-so foods to a tasty new level…
No ho-hum treats will do for this fiery sign. For your next in-home movie night, spritz some olive oil on your popcorn and sprinkle it with chili powder, or black pepper and Parmesan.
Are you ready for some more unexpected heat? Add 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder to a packet of instant oatmeal. Or add four teaspoons of chili powder to a recipe for peanut butter cookies. The creamy-spicy combo is an Asian-inspired treat for your mouth and your tummy! Or add brewed coffee and ancho or chipotle chili powder to brownies for an antioxidant-packed, tongue-tingly, sensational dessert!
The surprising, time-saving way to get better skin…
Busy, busy, busy—who has the time for a complicated, multi-step skincare routine? Not you! And those complicated products could be doing your skin more harm than good. Natural plant-based oils gently clean skin, absorb quickly to help skin hold moisture, minimize fine lines, and soothe redness without synthetic ingredients or harsh exfoliants like scrubs, brushes, or peels.
Chia seed oil is packed with anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing omega-3 fatty acids and more antioxidants than blueberries. And don’t stop at your face. Massage chia seed oil into dry cuticles, elbows, neck, and lips, too!
