ILLUSTRATION JORDY KIRKMAN/ UVU Review How to not suck at sucking face: dating advice The kissing guide you always wished you had Culture writer Let's be honest. One * of the best parts of dating is getting to kiss on the lips. We all think about it - some of us more than others. It is key to the success of virtually any romantic relationship. There's so much more to it than pressing your lips against those of another person while wildly moving your head around, mouths agape in an attempt to eat each other's insides. A good kiss is an art form, and as such, requires some preparation and thought. And that, my friends, brings us to the advice: How to not suck at sucking face. The basic premise of kissing obviously entails the touching of lips. To make this experience as pleasurable for both parties as possible, make sure that your lips aren't the texture of sandpaper. There are a few things you can do to prep your lips for duty. Here are just a few to take into consideration. 1. Chapstick - Use it. Enough said. 2. Shaving - Yeah, the ladies say that the scruff is sexy. But, if your plan entails extended kissing, it's pretty much a guarantee that you're going to leave your partner with a trail of post-lovin' beard rash. Guys, be courteous and ask her how she feels about facial hair - every girl is different. 3. Exfoliate - You can exfoliate your lips to get rid of dead skin, making them plump, juicy and irresistible. Just take a pinch of sugar in one hand, and get a finger wet with your other hand. Put a few drops of water into the sugar until it looks like a paste and then apply it in a circular motion to your lips. When you're done, clean them off and bam, you've got yourself some luscious lips and dessert. Alright, now your lips are prepped and ready to go. The next step is to seal the deal. You can't score any worthwhile lip action if you are a distant, unapproachable person. Never again shake the hand of a person of the opposite sex. Turn in your handshake for a solid hug. Break the touch barrier. If she doesn't mind you touching her leg, or having your arm around her waist, your chances of making it to a prolonged mouth touch vastly increases. If she pulls away, however, you know you need to change your game. Once you get the hang of the touch thing, pat yourself on the back. You're flirting! Fellas, initiating the approach is traditionally your job. Do not, I repeat, do not lead with the tongue or an open mouth. Nothing stops the make out train faster than a good look at the approaching tunnel housing your tonsils and every silver plated filling since you lost your last baby tooth. Take her by the nape of the neck or the chin and pull her in slowly. I hear they like that kind of thing. Get her close. Then wait. Keep waiting. Make her want it. Unfortunately, all too often the anticipation for the kiss is even more exciting than the kiss itself.

That's how it all got started." As anyone who enlists for a reality show might expect, the Kimball family's lives soon became subject to the scrutiny of numerous cameras. Despite this being uncomfortable at first, Kimball said that after a while you start to forget about it. "It's an adjustment," Kimball said. "At first, it's really uncomfortable having three cameras and 15-20 people around all the time. But by the third or fourth day, you get used to it.... Sometimes they catch some stuff you weren't ready for them to catch, but that's what reality TV does." One thing caught on camera is the religious observances of the Kimball family, who are Mormon. When asked how he felt about this, Kimball said it really wasn't a big deal. "They told us from the beginning that TLC doesn't do shock reality shows," Kimball said. "Being Mormon, they of course got us that she wants it, go for it. Congratulations, you kissed a girl. Now keep kissing! Don't shut your brain down because you've achieved your goal.

Five ways to prevent holiday weight gain •MICHELLE BERGESON Culture writer One of the hardest times of the year to continue that ongoing battle of dieting is the holiday season. While the holidays are meant to be a time of rejoicing and sharing fond memories with family and friends; sugar cookies, eggnog and pies always find a way to be a central focus. Carly Peterson, a personal trainer in Utah Valley, gives some tips to survive the holiday hoop-la without giving up some of your favorite treats. 1. Get moving The most effective way of maintaining weight or losing weight is to keep active! "Studies say you should try to aim for 200 minutes [of exercise a week], but any length of time is better than nothing/' explained Peterson. So take out that dusty stationary bike and peddle while you're watching the tube, or take a walk up the canyon with a close friend. If you can't seem to find any time to get out of the house, fire up some music and dance while you clean. 2. Aim for five 4 You are what you eat' isn't a myth. Load up on those fruits and veggies. "Five servings each day is recommended to sustain those cravings and [are a] great way to fill up your stomach but not your calorie level," said Peterson. 3. Control temptations While you won't be able to control every situation, focus on the ones you can. For example, do you constantly pass the vending machine and grab a Snickers bar, or stop at the candy dish? Make a mental note of tempting places and try to control them. Make a pact with co-workers that goodies will be kept solely in the break room, not at the front desk or in various offices. Plan to go into the break room only once a day for a small treat. 4. Don't overdo it "One of the easiest ways to control weight gain during the holidays is to avoid over-indulging when going to holiday parties," advises Peterson. "Look for the healthy foods and try [to] fill your plate with colorfiil fruits and veggies." Only allow one cookie or treat per day when enjoyingholiday gatherings. You may have to compensate by reducing your calorie intake later in the day or burning a few extra calories with exercise. 5. Never go hungry One of the worst things you can do is starve yourself all day for some kind of binging episode at the party. Grab a nutritious snack before going, like a piece of fruit or crackers with peanut butter. That way you don't gorge when entering the party and instead enjoy small portions.
