  • How To Spice Up Your sex Life

    When it comes to sex do not be afraid to explore with your partner. There is no glass ceiling when it comes to pleasure. Even if you're already pro in the bedroom, there's always room for growth. TRY EVERYTHING ONCE: If you're in a long-term relationship you need to be more adventurous, as doing the same things over again can become stale. Change things up a bit now and then . There is nothing more exhilarating than the unexpected, so experimenting with different positions or introducing a toy might be all that is needed to put the "oh yes!" back into your lovemaking. TALK ABOUT IT: Do not be afraid to let your partner knows what you want. In subtle way say, “I wish you would...." Or, if talking is difficult, use one of the books you bought and circle a position or chapter or story that indicates what you want.. TRY A DIFFERENT POSITION EVERY MONTH: While the missionary position is the most comfortable position, think outside the box. Think of creative positions that both of you will enjoy doing . Some positions to try up against a wall, doggy-style or leaning over a chair. Get erotica, sex positions books, Kama Sutra for more detail positions NEW LOCATION: Leave the bedroom along for a while, and try to pick a place that you haven't have sex before as this will aid in the excitement and add an additional rush element to it. Head for the kitchen, the laundry room and maybe even your car. QUICKIES: A really fun way to spice up your relationship is to engage in quickies. These are great because there will definitely come a time when you don't have 30 minutes to an hour to space or you're simply just too exhausted to give it your all. However, they can be a little tricky. They are supposed to be spontaneous, but there are definitely ways to help them go more smoothly. HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR SPOUSE: This about making sex with your spouse playful, a game to be played to keep up the intimacy, fun and the connection. To start, all it takes is one simple steamy text message or note, or doing something completely different and unexpected. Start flirting with your spouse like you used to. Give compliments and stand in awe when he or she walks in the room. Meet each other in hotel rooms and make out in the back seat of a car. Life is short. Sex is fun. Go do it!

  • The health Benefits of Honey and Cinnamon

    Folk wisdom still retains knowledge of the healing properties of both honey and cinnamon. Honey and cinnamon are still used as medicine in many situations, especially among people who, because of distance or income, have reduced access to mainstream health care. Honey possesses natural anti-bacterial properties. Honey poured on wounds or burns prevents infection and promotes healing. Regular consumption of honey and cinnamon together, when combined with an overall healthy diet and moderate activity level, can prevent heart disease by clearing clogged arteries. Drinking honey and cinnamon in lukewarm water results in them moving through the bladder and cleansing it, as well as clearing infections there. Drinking this beverage on a regular basis can also relieve, and in some cases entirely cure, arthritis pain. This drink also strengthens the immune system, helping ward off colds as well as some viruses. Applying a paste of honey and cinnamon to infected gums can ease pain and bleeding as well as slow the progression of the infection. When consumed together, honey and cinnamon can ease digestion, helping to prevent gas. Honey and cinnamon also provide energy, making people more mentally alert and ready for physical activity.

  • Makeup: Tips For Beautiful Lips In Just 7 days

    Bright, gorgeous color that can transform your day and your lips. Enriched with a silk moisturizing complex, our formula helps sustain moisture levels and helps create soft, smooth, beautiful lips in just 7 days. Moist, smooth lips hold color best. Stay pucker-pretty by following these basic tips for healthy lips. Morning: Give dry, flaky lips the brush-off. Add "brushing your lips" to your morning ritual using a soft toothbrush or washcloth. Then apply lip balm to smooth the way for lipstick-worthy lips! Bedtime:Turn up the moisture before you turn out the lights. Give your lips a touch of clear, rich moisture each night and you'll wake up to softer lips in no time! Special tip: If you don't have lip balm, eye cream makes an effective, gentle lip moisturizer. All Day:Avoid over-exposure to the sun, which can dry your lips the way it dries the rest of you. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, we suggest NatureLuxe Gloss Balm with SPF 15 When In The Sun: Be sure to use a lip balm with sufficient sunscreen before and after soaking up the rays. Mouth Off: Try coating extremely chapped lips with petroleum jelly or aloe vera overnight. Another speedy healing remedy is to gently rub lips with cucumber slices.

  • How to Know If a Man Is Into You

    Women think men love to play guessing games when it comes to love and relationship, but it is not always the case. A guy may be crazy about you but he tries to hide his feelings because he is not ready to confess them. The signs that a man is into you may be right in front of you but you often fail to recognize it. Knowing what he's thinking and how he feels about you without asking him could erase all the confusion. Although every man is different, there are common signs he is romantically interested in you. So what are the tell-tale signs that a guy is interested in you? He calls you without a reason If your guy is really into you, he doesn’t wait a week after a date to call you. Instead, he calls you whenever he feels like it, even if it’s just to say hi and see how your day is going. He always wants you around When a guy is into you, he makes the effort to see you as often as possible. When a guy genuinely likes you, he wants to spend time with you, regardless of what you do together. He might call you just to hangout and watch movies at his place, get dinner after work, or meet just to see your face. He always makes time for you He will never too busy to call you or come to see you, he makes time for you. So if he calls you before heading out of town for a trip telling you he wants to see you before he leaves. He is definitely into you.

Constant Eye Contact The eyes never lie, one of the signs that he is romantically interested in you can be seen in his eyes. If a guy has ulterior motives or just isn’t interested in who you really are, he won’t bother looking you in the eyes. You often caught him looking at you while you are doing something or when he thinks you are too busy to notice him gazing at you. He immediately looks away or does something if you caught him staring at you. He Listens If the conversation is always all about him or doesn’t ask you questions, seek out your opinion, and genuinely seem interested in what you have to say, then he has no interest in you. When a guy is really into you, he not only makes you a part of the conversation, but he also asks for your opinion, listens and responds appropriately. He is affectionate A man shows his interest through his body language. He will routinely touch your arm when he is talking, stroke your back reassuringly, and hold your hand when the time is right. These displays of affection show respect, intimacy, and interest. On the other hand a player may engage in inappropriate levels of PDA, a guy who’s really into you may be less demonstrative. Gets to know you If he makes an effort to know more about you, it is one of the signs he is romantically interested in you.
