Indulge Your Fantasies & Release Your Inhibitions

One of the best things about Halloween is that it allows us the freedom to get creative and become whomever we’d like to be for a night. We can create fantasy people to project our inner vamps or seductresses….or whatever role we’d love to imagine ourselves in, at least for one night. But why limit yourself to just one night a year? If you are willing, why not let go of your inhibitions and embrace your innermost fantasies?

Despite what some people might say, a sexy imagination is healthy and shouldn’t simply be limited to Halloween. Based on the popularity of books like Fifty Shades of Grey and other erotic romances, along with the rising popularity of erotica books, maybe people are starting to realize the benefits of opening their minds to their deeper, wilder cravings and are becoming bold enough to release their inhibitions. We love it! The desire to explore and understand what drives your passion is to be commended. After all, sexual self awareness leads to healthier mind and body, as well as relationships.

A woman who is confident and comfortable in her own skin is a thing of both power and beauty. People gravitate toward that kind of strength and fearlessness. Don’t be afraid to discover more about who you are and what makes you tick! As you explore to uncover what works for you and your partner we hope you’ll take Aloe Cadabra along for the ride. Our organic lubricant, contains 95% organic aloe, is both safe and healthy to use as you enjoy exploring your desires alone or with your partner.

Be brave. Be bold. Find your fulfillment. There is no down side!

Sexual health is such an important topic, but one so rarely discussed. Everyone approaches their sexuality (and their self discovery) in different ways. It’s also important people are comfortable within themselves and are offered safe places to explore their understanding and knowledge of what works for them.

World Sexual Health Day is all about celebrating what makes you unique and special sexually. This is about joy and passion, not fear and misconception. If you haven’t heard of it before, HERE are some of the details surrounding the event. We encourage you to check it out for yourself! After all, here at Aloe Cadabra, we’re all about the pleasure and joy of sensual discovery in a healthy, organic sort of way.

If you don’t happen to be in New York, you can still participate online. Live Streaming of the event will be done HERE. We’re also encouraging folks to follow the event on Twitter or Facebook.

Flashback: Circa 1951, iconic sitcom, I Love Lucy, is on TV. This is a time when having television meant you had a total of three channels to watch because there were only three networks. And all programming was shown in black and white (weird, right?).

In this particular I Love Lucy episode, on screen (and off, actually,) married couple Lucy and Ricky Ricardo are off to bed – both are in menswear style pajamas of long pants, long sleeved button-down oversized shirts.

Safe Sex 101: Beyond the Condom….

Posted on September 26, 2011

What women don’t know (but think they do) can really hurt them.

Sex, desire, intimacy, connection, pleasure…most of us really enjoy it and always seem to want to learn how to make it better – but how about safer?

Practicing safe sex with partners goes without saying but what we want to talk about with our readers is being safer in ways that have a different impact on the body. Time and again, women consider a variety of approaches to spice up or enhance their sexual experience…toys, films, costumes and products, including massage oils, aphrodisiacs and lubricants, those fun potions we keep in our trusty “goody drawers.”

For some women, choices are made by determining what will make them blush the least, typically selecting a bottle of personal lubricant from the drug store shelves. But what we do we really know about the potion inside the bottle?
