Make Your Bedroom a Sexy Sanctuary

Posted on May 27, 2018

EIGHT SIMPLE STEPS

TAKE A LOOK AROUND
Stand in your bedroom and take a 360-degree turn. Are there piles of unfolded laundry on the chair? Stacks of old magazines in plain sight? Bills and receipts on the bedside table? According to sex and Feng Shui (fung-SHWAY) consultants, all of these can put the kibosh on your sex life. If you want it to be a sexy sanctuary, follow the advice of these experts.

1. LOSE THE CLUTTER
Dana Korey, founder of Away with Clutter, describes clutter as the ultimate barrier to relaxation. If you have piles of junk that remind you of daily living, that’s what you’ll be thinking about. “It’s the equivalent of bad breath, body odor and being a bad kisser,” says Korey. According to clinical sexologist, Professor Ganesan Adaikan, a cluttered (and/or dirty) bedroom can kill the sizzle in your sex life and may even cause arguments. Get rid of the kids’ toys, exercise equipment and papers on top of dressers and nightstands and you’ll feel a lift in your libido.

2. PUT ELECTRONIC DEVICES OUT OF SIGHT

It’s almost impossible to have a device-free bedroom, especially for couples living in smaller spaces, but every expert will tell you to get rid of electronics. That includes the TV.
“Bedrooms aren’t meant to be home offices,” says Christine Eisner, author of Comfort Living: A Back-to-Basics Guide to a More Balanced Life. “That means no TVs, no laptops, tablets, or phones in plain sight.” Other authorities recommend an armoire for the TV and computer. If you must have your cell phone nearby, silence the ringer.

3. KEEP THE HANDY STUFF HANDY
Stop the hunt for sex-ccessories. It’s a real sex buzz-kill when the time is right and you and your partner are anxiously searching the bedroom for the sex toys. These should be easy for you to find and hard for strangers, according to Nina Helms, founder of Devine Toys. She recommends clean, locked, opaque storage. But don’t lose the key!

4. NO FAMILY PICTURES
Pictures of your parents, siblings and kids can be distracting. “Keep only photos of you and your partner in the bedroom,” says Feng Shui expert, Salvator Manzi. He advises photos that inspire pleasant memories “or nature scenes with smooth curves and warm colors.” And no pictures of ex-partners!

5. BREAK OUT THE LUBES

Lubricants can take your experience from good to great. Add spice and variety with Aloe Cadabra® lubricant and moisturizer. Since it contains 100 percent food-grade ingredients, it’s completely edible and it comes in a variety of scents and flavors. Choose your favorite.

6. USE SOFT LIGHTING
A fully lit room can kill the mood. Feng Shui expert, Rodika Tchi advises that you have several levels of lighting in your bedroom to introduce a romantic glow with soft light for those magic moments or use dimmer switches to adjust the lighting volume. Tchi says candles are the best Feng Shui lighting, “because they clear the energy and create an intimate, warm, and healing atmosphere.” But play it safe. Use the flameless, simulated type or the kind that comes in its own container to avoid fire.

7. BAD BEDSIDE MANNERISMS
Obviously, you should always buy a new factory-fresh bed—never a used one. King beds are luxurious but they can also function as a barrier between two people. Buy the bed that is comfortable for both of you, but if it’s a King, Salvatore Manzi advises that couples “sleep at least one night a week starting in a tight cuddle.” That’s good advice for couples in any size bed.

8. BE CREATIVE
If it’s difficult to get in the mood, try different techniques. Consider role-playing or costumes. Bring your favorite fruit in a glass bowl and feed each other. Speak in low tones. Pull out the adult movies, sexy novels or whatever else gets you going. And don’t forget the powerful effect of music; a single finger on the audio remote should fire up your playlist of soft rock, jazz or slow-dancing oldies but goodies.

You may not be able to put all of these suggestions in place at once but even a few changes can make a big difference. Take your time and discover what works for you.

Make Mama Happy

Posted on May 7, 2015

Want to Make Mama Happy? Give her lube.

Seriously. The right lubricant can make a big difference in helping moms maintain a fulfilling and pleasurable love life. That’s because mothers have three extra challenges when it comes to maintaining their natural moisture.

Challenge #1: Pregnancy, childbirth and nursing. All of these wonderful stages of motherhood have a not-so-delightful side effect: they can cause a woman’s estrogen level to plummet. The result: vaginal dryness. Sex during these times can be uncomfortable, even painful.

Challenge #2: Stress. Having to manage kids along with a career, household, marriage, and all the other stuff in your life can be hard on her body and tough on her nerves. And stress happens to be one of the primary causes of vaginal dryness.

Lose Those Winter Blues!

Posted on December 7, 2014

Have you ever wondered if the rumors were true? Does the dark and dreary cold of winter truly rev up the sex drive?

If you look around the internet at the various studies and surveys done you’ll find that the answer is mixed. While about 15% say that they absolutely notice that the weather definitely revs up their sex lives (citing reasons like being cooped up alone together and bored), another 15% claim that their drives dry up a bit.

So, the same amount who see a rise in their desire is even with the amount whose desire dwindles, what does that mean? Mathematically? Nothing changed.

Don’t get us wrong, the endorphin rush one receives during orgasm would probably go a long way toward curing the winter blues that often affects people because of limited access to the sun and the impact on our internal chemistry. That flood of chemicals can be a powerful thing, which may explain the rise in passion for some. It’s a way to combat both boredom and depression during the cold, dark winter.

And despite the fact that most associate Spring as the season of new beginnings, relationships included, it’s actually Winter that holds the record for highest percentage of new relationships according to a poll done by the Associated Press.

So maybe sweaters, coats, slacks, and gloves aren’t the sexiest gear in the world, especially when you imagine beginning a new relationship. Still, an excuse to get out of the house, snuggle a the fire, and drink a heated libation of some sort still has an appeal.

What better way to warm up, after all, than to share body heat, conversation, and company? Why not see where the next great eye contact and smile might lead? What could be the harm?

And if you decide to “warm up” with a little passion along the way, remember to make it both a sexy and memorable experience. Aloe Cadabra, with 95% organic aloe in every tube, can help make sure that there is no dryness or discomfort. Just relax, let it do the work, and enjoy the connection.

Vaginal Dryness got you Down?

Although not exactly a popular topic of discussion, vaginal dryness is an issue most women face at some point in their lives. Because of this, most people don’t realize just how common this problem is (yeah, it actually impacts about 95% of all women) or the joy that can be found working with your body to resolve the issue while maximizing your personal enjoyment when it appears.

Causes of vaginal dryness are fairly common and range from the following:
·      Stress / Emotions
·      Menopause
·      Natural changes in hormone levels
·      Chemotherapy
·      Childbirth
·      Allergies

So here’s the inside skinny. Our bodies function better with regular sexual activity. It keeps our juices flowing both literally and metaphorically. Studies show that natural lubrication keeps our organs in strong working order. But, as stated above, our emotional health is just as important. Making a connection with our partner on a deeper level enhances the sexual experience while helping to lessen our stress levels and strengthen our relationships is just as key. Time spent talking, sharing, and reminding each other of why you enjoy being together in the first place strengthens your bond, and enhances your intimacy. As it leads to sexual intimacy, your body’s natural juices will begin to flow. Of course, using a favorite organic personal lubricant from our fabulous Aloe Cadabra lineup helps enhance pleasure while aiding in the healing process.

When it comes to stressors in life, it doesn’t take much to picture the causes. Whether your stressors are caused by career, family, finances, or some other unlisted issues, it’s important to remember that you are in control and make a change. Take time to breathe, exercise, or relax with people you enjoy. Laugh. Have fun. But whatever you do, when stress starts to impact your mind and body, make a change. It will have an enormous impact on stress induced vaginal dryness, not to mention improve the rest of your life.

So what does this have to do with dryness? A healthy vagina’s made up of many layers of cells, stays lubricated with clear fluid, which keeps the vagina healthy, elastic and is noticeable when aroused. The amount of lubrication that occurs is affected by different factors such as the above list, along with low estrogen, fatigue, medications, pregnancy, drying and chemically based soaps.

Vaginal Dryness causes symptoms ranging from irritation, itching and burning, avoidance of sexual intercourse, lack of libido, and thinning and drying of the vaginal wall. Many women even believe that sex drive/libido go away during menopause. Reality is, studies have shown that’s not necessarily accurate. In fact, 80% of women report symptoms of vaginal dryness during perimenopause and menopause.

Here are a few basic options for dealing with vaginal dryness:

1. Drink plenty of water to ensure hydration. Eat a balanced diet and take nutritional supplements as needed.
2. Be careful about using harsh chemicals, soaps, douches and other products containing allergens, dyes and fragrances. They mess with your pH balance. Common chemicals to avoid are petroleum, silicone, propylene glycol, glycerin, chlorhexidine, phenoxyethanol and parabens.
3. Don’t forget the importance of sex. Natural lubrication may take a bit longer, but it is still there.
4. Use an organic personal lubricant. You want to read the labels and be AWARE of what you put in there! A lot of “Natural” ingredients are toxic, drying and well just not what you want on your most delicate parts.

At the end of the day, vaginal dryness is normal. There’s no shame in it, just a lack of discussion and understanding. In fact, it’s highly treatable in the most pleasurable of ways! All it takes is a little attention.

“O” is for Organic

Posted on May 17, 2014

A person would almost have to be under a rock these days to have not heard the word organic. Go to the grocery store and one will find entire sections dedicated to organically grown fruits, veggies, meats, and even cleaning supplies.

But what does organic really mean? When dealing with meats it means that no growth hormones or antibiotics were used. For plants, no conventional pesticides, fertilizers, radiation, or other unnatural products were used.

In other item like health, beauty, and skin care products it means that the ingredients are derived from plants and do not use synthetic chemicals, irradiation, or harmful pesticides. In fact, in many of the most popular lubricants, these chemicals can cause all sorts of imbalances in the vaginal area.

However, products like aloe vera promote healing, and not just for the skin issues like sunburns and cuts. It promotes healing from within, from the minor tears that occur with intercourse to aiding with vaginal dryness, a common occurrence that occurs with aging, and so much more.

John Gray, Ph.D., the author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, recently discussed the healing properties of our organic lubricant that contains over 95% organic aloe vera in each tube. Click HERE to see what he had to say.

EACH TUBE CONTAINS OVER 95% ORGANIC ALOE! This is just not a bottle of water.
