Too many people make the mistake of thinking all online websites are safe especially if they appear to have a valid SSL certificate and rank high in Google.
However there are some important signs to check if you plan on shopping on a website, not just ones you have never heard of, but even reputable sites can have small prints that can leave you groaning under your breath.

The Seven signs that could stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.

1. Read The Terms And Conditions Page. I can't stress how important it is to know the company's policies on returns, deliveries, etc. Many businesses have restrictions on everything from how long you can return a item to legal requirements that can impact an unwary customer.
The saying, "Read the small print before you sign on the dotted line", is indeed true in this case.
Many people completely ignore this section without realizing how important it is to know your rights.

2. Does The Company Have A Privacy Agreement? This might sound like common knowledge, but there are many companies who do not have a privacy agreement on their site.
It's vital not to overlook this section. Why? This agreement lets you know from the start whether a company will sell, rent or collect your personal information such as name, telephone number, etc.
Some companies even have trackers on their site and can  track your every movement through cookies.
If you don't feel comfortable with companies collecting cookies look for the opt out button on the company's website or if you have Firefox installed, go into options and click on, "Tell Websites Not to track Me", then click ok and this handy feature will notify websites not to collect data on you.

3. Never Buy From A Site Which Does Not Have A Contact Address. Believe it or not there are still shopping sites which do not have a physical address or telephone number on their site and will only allow you to contact them through email.
Stay clear of sites like these as you don't know whether they are legal or not.

4. Beware Of Sites Which Don't Offer Refunds, But Will Only Exchange Goods Only.
I've seen many ebay sellers and e-commerce sites state, "No Refunds." This is illegal and they are breaking the law. Under the distance selling act, every customer is entitled to a refund within 7 days if they are not happy with their purchase.
Never except the, "No Refunds", stated by many sellers as a clear attempt to hang on to your money.

5. Only Shop On Sites With Valid SSL Certificates Installed. Always look for a valid SSL certificate when you shop. Look for, "Https", which tells you that you have connected to a secure site and your personal data is protected. Never buy from a site which doesn't show a https on the top left hand corner of the web bar. Some sites will go green or show a blue colour when you connected to an encrypted site. Http on the other hand (without the S) means your not under the same protection.
You can use www.site24x7.com to check whether a site has a valid SSL certificate.

6. Is The Site Updated Often? Don't be one of those people who buys from a site and then doesn't receive the goods! A dead site which has been abandon by it's owner is common place on the internet. Look for signs the website has been regularly updated. Are new products or features added weekly? Does it state the correct year. Example, "2013" instead of "2002"?

7. Do Real People Shop On There? Look for external reviews, sold out products. If they have a facebook, twitter or other social media site, are there comments from real customers? If in doubt, don't part with any cash.

Following these steps will assure you of a safe shopping experience.

We are finally in 2013 and I'm really excited.
This is a chance to start fresh, change your life and meet new people.
If 2012 wasn't such a good year for you, don't despair this year will be better.
Here are some great suggestions to kick start your new beginnings.




1. Join A Gym. Many people pile on the pounds during the festive holidays. Joining a gym is a great way to meet new people and get back into shape.

2. Talk And Think Positively. It goes without saying, where the heart is the mind will follow.
If you want to have a successful life, a great job, good marriage, loving spouse, finacial success and optimum health, a change in belief system and reining in those destructive words are a neccessary component to success.
Create your future today by altering the way you think.

3. Treat Yourself To  Luxury Spa Weekend.  Celebrities and other rich people give themselves the best treatment.
Why don't you. There's some fantastic luxury spas which not only leaving you feel like a princess, but are affordable too.

4. Go On A Cruise. Cruises are not just for people with money. Anyone can now go on a cruise. You never know who you might bump into on your travels.

5. Dump The Junk Food. The best move you could ever make. Replace unhealthy sugary cakes with low fat or homemade versions. The myth which a lot of people believe about healthy eating is that you can only eat fruits and vegetables, but this is incorrect. The truth is that you can eat whatever you fancy, but in moderation and opting for healthy versions.
Grilling your own chips is more healthier than buying ready made chips from your local supermarket.
It doesn't have to be time-consuming either. Argos does a great range of kitchen applications which make home cooking and baking a breeze.

6. A Makeover. A makeover can do wonders for your appearance and confidence. Why not go for that colour change you've been dreaming about for years, but was too scared to have it done.

7. Go Shopping. Every woman loves checking out the stores for the latest trends. Let 2013 be an excuse to raid the shops. Buy that expensive dress you only live once after all!

8. Take Up A New Hobby. Increase your knowledge, make new friends and learn a new skill! There's so much to do in this world. Why not have fun exploring new activities and help someone in the process.

9. Jet Off To Another Country. The world is your playground with many undiscovered gems hidden within it.
Broaden your horizon, escape from your mundane living and enter a new land of endless fun.

10. Host A Dinner Party. Gather the family clan and throw a huge party in your honour, make it extra special by turning your home into a palace and hiring a chef.

Make 2013 the year to remember and change your life for good. Happy New Year.

Have you ever wondered why your partner is giving you the cold shoulder or appears to be more into his friends than you. It might be that he has found someone else.
Here are the signs to look for that tell you your relationship is in crisis.




1. He Stops Calling. You sit around for days waiting for his call, but it never arrives. If it's longer than two weeks, it might just be that he has found someone new.

2. He's Disinterested In Everything You Say. No matter what you suggest he appears bored and disinterested.

3. He doesn't Want To Be Seen With You In Public. Whenever you suggest going out for a romantic meal or visiting Big Ben, he always makes excuses why he cannot be seen with you in public.

4. He Always Stays Out. If your partner is always out for long days at a time this could be a sign he's walked out of the relationship for good.

5. You Find Messages On His Phone From A Unknown Female.  Innocent firting or something more deeper?

6. He's Always Vague About Where He's Been. When you confront him about his activities, he always comes up with vague excuses and never really tells you what he's up to.

7. He Acts Cold Towards You. Whether your with his family or you and him are alone, he gives you the silent treatment. This could be a indication he is cheating on you.

If your relationship shows any of these signs, then you could be dealing with a cheater.
