Leave the Ex in the Past #SexyPie

May 25, 2013 in Sexy Pie

imagesIsn’t it funny that when you’re in a long-term committed relationship is when your ex that treated you like crap before suddenly wants to come back into your life. Now the tables have turned and you don’t give a crap about him. Doesn’t it feel good? It’s almost as if they know that you’re in a relationship and it’s a challenge for them to be with you and they enjoy that challenge or they just want to ruin your relationship with that guy. Don’t humor him by keeping in contact with him. As nice and polite as he sounds, he’s still the same ass from before so don’t fall for the act. That’s what got you in trouble last time and you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. You need to learn from them and move on.

exLadies, stay clear of your ex. He was your ex for a reason and he probably doesn’t have the best of intentions. Sure he will pretend that he just wants to be your friend and wants to hang out with you casually but for what? He either wants to get back with you, wants a booty call, his previous relationship didn’t work out so he thought of you or he is just bored. Don’t start replying to his texts, talking on the phone or worse meet up with him. He doesn’t deserve your time and he sure didn’t respect you before so what makes you think he will now? Feelings could return and you don’t want to be put in the same situation again where you will get hurt or worse ruin the relationship that you’re currently in.

Let the ex pine over you but don’t give into his needs. You are the one in control now and you don’t need someone like your ex to bring you back down. So X out the ex from your life!

Last week, five lovely Alpha Beta Pie models took to the catwalk with Aveda Institute Toronto at their “Born to Style” event! They rocked the runway with fierce fashions provided by Poor Little Rich Girl, and hairstyles put together by the five “Born to Style” finalists who were competing against each other to win a full scholarship at the school. Each contestant had to first submit an online video expressing their interest in attending the institute. Judges then selected five of the entrants to compete in this competition. Congratulations to Melissa Koay who was the recipient of the big prize! Check out the pictures below to see some stunning images of our girls in action!

Get Bikini Ready! Exercise #2

May 15, 2013 in Healthy Pie

Time for workout #2! For abs of steel consider trying out the vertical leg crunch.  It’s similar to a regular crunch except that your legs are straight up! This forces you to use your abs muscles to do all the work making it a little more challenging. Heres how to do it:

vertical-leg-crunch1. Lie on your back on the floor and slowly extend your legs straight up in the air. Keep your knees together while doing so to help with stability.

2. Place your hands behind your head (to help with support which performing crunches). Avoid pulling on the neck.

3. Lift your shoulder blades off the floor, bringing your chest towards your feet. Essentially you are “crunching” your ab muscles as you do so. Lower when completed and repeat for three sets of twelve to sixteen reps.

4. Try to keep your legs in a fixed position as you are doing this. This again adds to the challenge.

Let us know how you’re doing! Tweet us at @AlphaBetaPie!

Times You Don’t Want to Be Seen with Your Man #SexyPie

May 15, 2013 in Sexy Pie

You know your man is hot. You love the feeling you get when you walk hand-in-hand with him in public and you get those envious stares from other girls. It makes you feel proud to be seen with him- that he’s all yours. He’s kind of like your trophy boyfriend. But that’s not always the case.

Then there are those times where you just don’t want to be seen with him at all. For example, you invite your boyfriend to your work Christmas party and it’s a very upscale, suit-and-tie event. You even have a limo to pick both of you up to go this party. It’s a group of you and your work friends in the limo and it’s now his turn to be picked up from his house. As soon as he walks into the limo, you want to throw him out. He is actually wearing running shoes with his outfit which isn’t too formal in itself. Looking around, you see ladies in dresses and heels and their men in suits and ties. He looks like the odd one out and it kind of embarrasses you. You all get to the event, and it’s even worse. He definitely sticks out in the crowd and he doesn’t complement you at all. You don’t really want to be seen with him.l

This was not the only time this has happened. There was that other time where you invited him out to a friend’s birthday party at a lounge and obviously there is a dress code. You were all waiting in line, and when it was your turn to get in, well he couldn’t because he was wearing a t-shirt, jeans and of course those darn running shoes that always seems to make an appearance at the wrong time. So he ruins your night because now you can’t even go to the lounge.

What do you do in these situations? Well you need to be straight up. Tell him he needs to dress appropriately in certain occasions because the truth is he probably just doesn’t know because he just wants to be comfortable. But in formal situations, he needs to understand that it’s just not acceptable. That and he needs to make you look good too.

A polite way of letting him know is to buy him certain presents on occasions. Like get those nice men’s dress shoes for his birthday that you saw the other day in the shoe store. Get him a tie, possibly a whole suit? Hopefully he will start to get the hint but if he continues in his ways, you need to be blunt with him or he will continue and will get to the point where you don’t want to be seen with him at all. Sometimes guys just don’t know any better and you have to be the one to tell him.

Never Make Assumptions #SexyPie

As ladies, we have certain expectations in a relationship. And when those expectations are not met, well we get annoyed and sometimes get angry. For example, on the weekends, you expect your boyfriend to take you out, do something romantic or exciting but instead of making plans with you after a tiring, long week at work (you know you deserve a night out), he makes plans with his friends on Friday and Saturday nights. He just has to dedicate two nights to video games because one was not enough.

Instead of letting him know how you feel, you fume at home by yourself while giving him attitude on the phone. What pisses you off is that he doesn’t even get your hints that you’re angry with him. I know you’re probably thinking to yourself, ‘why should I tell him how I feel, he should already know?’ The truth is they don’t because they don’t even know that they’re doing something wrong. Another point is, is he even doing anything wrong? He is spending time with his friends and he doesn’t know you’re upset. And he does deserve some time with his friends, it’s not all about you but he needs to know that you’re a priority too. It has to be a balance of both.

So you need to tell him that. Be straight up.  As dumb as you think that is, guys will never figure it out on their own, they need to be told. They just need some training sometimes.

And you will see the difference. At the end of the day, he doesn’t want to lose you. He still cares about you and he will do anything to make you happy. You will start seeing him make plans with you in advance, even being creative. You will be pleasantly surprised.

It’s important to express your feelings and never assume that they know how you feel, they’re not mind-readers. So don’t be too harsh on your man, he just didn’t know any better.  A healthy relationship where both of you are open with each other so just be straight up and never make assumptions.
