XXXopoly for Valentine's Day

Counting down until Valentine's Day...the age old question, what to give?  You can buy a gift that's just for him or for her, but how about a gift that is for both?

Indulge your sensual connection and try XXXopoly.  Like the popular family board game, you roll the dice and land on a sexual space. Each space has a sexual task ranging from kissing to hmmmm, use your imagination. If your partner lands on your space, they can either perform that task or get out of it by paying money.  But make sure you don't run out of money or you won't be able to buy your own spaces.

Perfect for a Valentine's night of fun, a bachelorette or anniversary gift.



Golden Globes 2013 Fashions & More

I have to say, of all the awards shows, I enjoy the Golden Globes. I love the humor and when you combine the Moet champagne with the fashions of the evening, it's a good time.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the cutouts in the dresses.

I started this post too late to remember correctly the humorous lines that were delivered in the first hour, but thanks for the laughs.

I LOVED the speech by the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and when she said to Bradley Cooper "Call Me Baby", it cracked me up and I was grateful for a president that had a sense of humor.


Jennifer Lawrence, winner of Best Actress, Comedy or Musical, for "Silver Linings Playbook,"  got a big laugh with her first line of  "I beat Meryl!" and ended with thanking Harvey Weinstein "for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today."

I'm My Dreams, This is What I Always Look Like

I'm My Dreams, This is What I Always Look Like
We all have it. A "dream look." The look you want to see reflected in mirrors and men's locked gazes as you pass by, night or day. And of course, that look would have to be achieved with very little effort. A wake up, fluff the hair, slick on lip gloss and go-in-five-minutes ability would be preferred.

Here is my dream look. Lush, tousled long blonde curls, red lips, stunning makeup, luscious curves, incredible jewelry and a wardrobe to die for.

How close am I to that dream? I do have long, blonde hair that I attempt to curl like this photo, but I need to make an appointment first thing in the morning to get this color.

I love to wear red lipstick, and when I do, it's usually a deep blue-red shade. I do have incredible jewelry and I have signature pieces I wear everyday or I feel naked.

I have natural nails that grow like weeds that have to be filed down every week to all the same length because one short nail and nine long ones drives me crazy. Breaking a nail used to be traumatic, but I'm over it now that shorter nails are popular. My go to nail color is OPI's Rosy Future - a translucent shimmery hologram pink that hides wear and can last a week easy with with top coat touch ups.

As for curves, let's say I have them, and a few of them could be whittled down a bit, but I'll take my curvy hour glass any day, even if my "size" isn't quite down to the number I'd like to see on the scale. How about you? What's your dream look?

DIY Facial Mask Perfect for a Sunday Afternoon

I decided today was going to be a feminine pampering day.  I had been writing all morning, pinning, tumblring and basically getting it done while I was still in my pink and purple plaid flannel pajamas. Hey, it was in the 30's this morning in Southern California and my bedroom was about 58 degrees when I woke up. Not a night for sexy lingerie!

I decided a detoxing bath was just the thing, so after soaking in Epson Salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil, I showered and it was time to lather on the facial mask.

I picked this mask because it only had two ingredients - powered milk and water. So I mixed up 3 teaspoons of powered milk and a little more than 1 teaspoon of water to form a tick paste.

I have to say, the mask was lumpy and smelled like baby bottle milk and corn chips when I was putting it on and it was quite a turn off until I was either used to the smell or it disappeared. Next time, I will add some honey - an option ingredient I had elected to do without - if only to improve the smell.

Okay, the directions said to let it sit for 15 minutes. I grabbed my lazy clothes for the day - black yoga pants and a poppy red V-neck that would hopefully draw attention away from my "no makeup but lipstick" look I had elected to go with. Then I touched my face.

The mask was as hard as concrete after about 10 minutes. I splashed warm water on my face and gently started to wash it off. After a few minutes, I grabbed a washcloth as this stuff was really stuck.

The end result? Smooth, soft, silky skin that looked incredible! Would I do it again? Yes, but I will be adding a little honey to improve the smell.  Now that I know to expect the concrete hardening aspect, I can say it's worth it for the silky smooth complexion this mask reveals.

Enjoy!

"Are you Weak in the Knees Yet?"

"Are you Weak in the Knees Yet?" Shirtless Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling in Gangster Squad When I heard the line "Are you weak in the knees yet?" in the movie trailer for Gangster Squad, I have to say, the answer was "Yes!!!"

Add that the line was delivered by Ryan Gosling and it elevates it on the "wow" meter to one of the best movie quotes.


While I believe every movie contract should require Ryan to be shirtless for a majority of his scenes, this line was unfortunately delivered fully clothed. But he was quite dapper in his gangster attire.

What's your favorite movie line that makes you weak in the knees and who said it?

Not My Fault You Have Endless Eyes

Imagine going about your normal day, lunch with the girls or a night on the town and you see this guy. Not just any guy, but one that really grabs your attention. As you stare at him, he turns his head and your eyes collide.

Everything melts away. The feeling is so intense that for that moment of connection, your emotions cascade into overload. His gaze locks with yours. You watch as his eyes open wide, and linger, then travel to your lips and back.

His sensual, seductive, sultry glance melts your bones, weakens your knees and creates a "please rip off your clothes and have your way with me" response, as you gaze into eyes so beautiful you could get lost in them. Piercing, soulful, clear light eyes mesmerize and stop you in your tracks. His eyes slowly travel to your toes and back...

Have you ever been struck speechless when your gaze has locked with someone else's?

The clear, stunning eyes of model, Lionel Clerc, are what I imagine writers creatively try to lead our imaginations into feeling as much as seeing as they begin to make us fall-in-lust with their leading man at our first encounter with him.

While I get that the heavy-lidded, half-closed, squinty "bedroom eyes" look has it's place, in writing and in person, I find it less appealing (and a little suspect) than a wider-eyed, open gaze. An open eye connection can be much more bold, attractive, and reveal a knight-in-shining-armor type guy with nothing-to-hide appeal.

I love it when writers develop their characters so well that you can feel that look, feel that gaze and all your senses begin to tingle because you know what that look means.

It’s not my fault I fall for endless eyes, and I'm so happy when I discover a writer who knows most of us do.


Please comment and tell us a writer, a book, a character you've discovered that understands the part eyes play in attraction, seduction and the power of "endless eyes".

Ladies, OMG, Meet Mr. Grey!

There are some times in life, you are just struck speechless and the only words that come to mind are Oh.....My.....God!

That's what happened to me when I was scrolling through images to add to our Tumblr blog. Just about to call it quits and turn off the computer, OMG, there was Mr. Grey (and of course, the photo is in shades of grey!)


I immediately posted this photo on Tumblr and searched until I found a couple more. You'll have to go there so see the other photos and find out who this man really is.

If you didn't see the news clip, scientists came up with their own depiction of Mr. Grey, but I have to say, this must have been put together by men (men with bad eyesight and poor imaginations) because it doesn't even come close to handsome, let alone inner goddess worthy, Christian.

I'm sorry, but their sketch looks like a police artist's rendering of stalker.  I haven't met a women yet who would look twice let alone stop in their tracks if he suddenly came to life.
But the Mr. Grey I met today...Oh, my!

So ladies, please comment and tell us which Christian Grey you'd like to meet.

And, if you don't know what I'm talking about, read this post immediately:  Mr. Grey

Hot and bothered,

OPI Rosy Future Favorite No-Fuss Nail Polish Color

I love the look of a fabulous manicure, but the upkeep I can do without. My nails grow fast and as I seem to be on the computer a lot, so I keep them much shorter than I used to.

With all the keyboard abuse, and other daily manicure no-nos my hands go through, I love my favorite no-fuss nail polish color -- OPI Nail Polish Rosy Future.

This fabulous color is a very sheer, pink-based iridescent polish. Good for when you want a neutral nail, but not boring clear or pink. Your nail tips will show through with this color - model is wearing 2-3 coats of polish.  This is a good top coat for a different look to a french manicure.  This color hides chips really well too so it's fabulous for summer, days at the beach and in the water. I've gone as much as 7-9 days with this color by just adding a shiny, clear top coat every few days.

We love Amazon's prices on OPI polishes! Order a few colors when you place your next order of books.

"Bared to You" Should be Your Next Book

"I jerked to a halt, my gaze riveted to the man who was even more striking than I'd remembered. I had never seen hair that purely black. It was glossy and slightly long, the ends drifting over this collar. That sexy length was the crowning touch of bad-boy allure over the successful businessman, liked whipped cream topping on a hot-fudge brownie sundae. As my mother would say, only rogues and raiders had hair like that."

And that's in the first chapter. Hooked?

We were! I downloaded this book on my Kindle - if you don't have one, girl...order it NOW - and couldn't put it down.

I like my characters well developed and almost hopping off the pages as you know them intimately, and this author did not disappoint. This book was so much better written than the series everyone is currently talking about, and yes, there is a book #2 coming out October 2, 2012 - mark your calenders!

I must say I'm a little tired of authors trying to be politically correct and include every race, sexual orientation, lifestyle and latest fettish into their books, so that almost became an issue with me, but seriously, these books are for pure entertainment, and this one definitely entertained.

Order it now in paperback or instant Kindle download. We've even provided these links for you to order it now. You could be swept away in minutes!








"Bared to You obliterates the competition…unique and unforgettable.” —Joyfully Reviewed 




Have you Met Mr. Grey?

Fifty Shades of Grey
Have you had the pleasure of meeting Christian Grey?

Find out what your friends are talking about.  Fifty Shades of Grey will spice up your dreams, both day and night. Discovering the erotic secrets of Mr. Grey will have you wasting no time in devouring this trilogy from E. L. James.

I must say, Mr. Grey's "quirks" got to be a little too much, even "tamed down" for Ana's sake, and I'm hoping men don't really think this is what all women want behind closed doors. His choice of conquest (she's 22) and her inexperienced background (a virgin) I felt was a odd choice for Ana's character, but with no sexual past for her to have to explain...hummm.  With all the repetitive eye rolling, lip biting, frowning and smirking, too many chats with her inner goddess, and at times sophomoric writing, I wonder what the editor's job was on these books? This could have easily been one book instead of three, but why not draw out the pleasure and/or the profits?

I was glad to see Mr. Grey evolving in book two and the "play room" collecting dust was a welcome relief, but book three, I really struggled to care and to finish it. I have been an avid reader since I learned to read and devour everything from romance to, well, everything else. I have definitely read much better written books, have fallen for better developed characters with sensuous personalities, but I will admit, there is just something about Mr. Grey that was intriguing enough to follow him through to the end of book three. So, comments aside, Mr. Grey was an very interesting man.  

When I read, my imagination conjures up the characters from the author's hopefully detailed descriptions. Their face, body, walk, style, and personality develop - as always otherworldly, gorgeous, never ever destined to appear in real life people, of course. But, oh my! One day, I did happen to stumble upon my Christian Grey ("Ladies, OMG, Meet Mr. Grey") in a shades of grey photo that will render you speechless.  Isn't it time you met the Mr. Grey?
