Kick Ass at Being Single

Kick ass at being single

So now that Valentine’s Day is over, I’ve had some time to reflect on the different reactions to the holiday that I saw among friends and customers.  My single friends had some widely varying responses to their thoughts on their relationship status. Many tended towards self-pity and even anger at being single, but others… oh man, they absolutely ROCKED the single lifestyle.  To them, being single is “living the dream!”  I liked this approach much better and decided to take a few notes to share with you about how you can kick ass at being single.

Don’t apologize for being awesome.

The basic idea about rocking your singlehood is to never apologize for your status.  Your singlehood is about figuring out what makes you tick, all while enjoying the luxury of putting yourself first.  Not only will this make you stronger and more confident,  but once you’re tied down, you may never get the chance to live the single life dream again!

Focus on your friends.

While spending time with a significant other is amazing, it can often cut into your time with friends.  Now’s your chance to take advantage of having more free time to create tons of amazing memories with some of the people you love most and not have to worry about putting stress on a romantic relationship. I love getting together with my girls for dinners, drinks, or catching a movie.  Even better, get the ladies together for a Pure Romance party for an amazing girls’ night in!

Put YOU first.

I think my husband nailed this one on the head before he met me.  He would come home from work, play video games all night, drink beer, and eat pizza.  When he wanted to see a movie, he did.  When he wanted to sleep late on the weekend, he did.  He LOVED the bachelor lifestyle in his tiny little apartment (he just loved me a lot more.)  When you’re flying solo, putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s a rare opportunity to explore new things and to do all of the activities that may be limited once you are spending time with a significant other.

See the World!

Travel.  The world is your oyster!  You can go anywhere, anytime you want.  Go with friends, or go alone and make friends along the way.  I am always amazed by two of my good friends that go on amazing adventures alone just because they can.  One of them even wants to backpack around in Australia with no plans… she just wants to enjoy life as it comes!

Live your BEST life.

Dream big and plan out how you want your life to go! Satisfied with your career? Awesome—go for that amazing promotion that’ll take you to the next level. Think you might want to go back to school? Now’s your chance! Whatever it is, do something to enrich your life: enroll in art classes, give back to the community, or take up yoga.

Play the field.

Boys aren’t the only ones who can date around!  Play the field, flirt with a stranger, and work your magic on the dance floor—singlehood is YOUR time to shine!  Enjoy all of the different types of people who turn you on and interest you.  It doesn’t necessarily need to be a string of one-night stands, but there are plenty of people out there to entertain you and enjoy life with you.  And with all of the technology available today, it’s never been easier!  Download the Tinder app, message your old crush, and flirt your way to free drinks—no commitments, no judgments. You’re single, and fabulous.

Give me the goods!

If you are ready to see all of the Pure Romance line and have an amazing time with friends – just book your very own Pure Romance party!  I am in the Lexington, Kentucky area and have a few open dates for the next couple of months.  Contact me asap to get your preferred date on the books.  Parties are free, fun, educational, and my hostesses earn some AWESOME rewards!  Who knows… you may even want to become your own boss and join my team.

Strong Women – Meet Molly

Strong is the new sexy.  Don’t take my word for it.  Just take a look around… Crossfit women are a main attraction on major sports networks, Serena Williams (tennis pro) is named 2016 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the year, and Ronda Rousey (UFC Fighter) is set to make her second appearance in SI’s Swimsuit Issue.  What do these women have in common?  They are all examples of women who are successful, beautiful… and not necessarily the physical ideal of sexiness that mainstream media normally pushes into our heads.

Meet Molly.  She is a local Lexington woman who has gone viral by making some social media posts about her body and how she feels about it.  I sort of know Molly, but she doesn’t know me. I’ve seen her at the gym (Lexington Athletic Club) and around my neighborhood out for a run with her significant other.  She’s hard to miss.  She has a very strong physique and a confidence about her that impresses.  Molly posted a picture of herself in a bikini on vacation with the caption “This is my body. This is not a before picture. This is not an after picture. This just happens to be what my body looks like on a random Tuesday in December of 2015 — it’s a life picture. This is a body that loves protein and vegetables and queso and ice cream.”

…And the internet went BONKERS.  This photo and accompanying quote has made it to ABC News, People magazine, Huffington Post, and even the Today Show.  Click here to read an article from the Lexington Herald Leader about Molly.  What’s amazing about Molly is that she is in love with her body.  She is comfortable with the fact her body changes as she moves through life.  And she is happy with that.  She loves who she is and her confidence is proof of that.

Is she what the mainstream media would call “sexiest woman alive?”  Probably not.  But that’s not the point.  She is beautiful in a real way,  a way that can be appreciated by anyone who has the luck to meet her or take one of her classes.  She has a personal training business, Girlsgonestrong.com, which  offers  strength training packages and an online coaching.  Her business works to teach girls to appreciate their bodies as they are, not as most magazine ads say they should be.

But what about the rest of us? Well, don’t be afraid to take charge of who you are and what you want your body to be. I work hard to eat well, exercise, and empower other women around me.  It’s not always easy, but nothing worth having is.  Will I ever become a supermodel? Umm, no.  But knowing that I’m the best version of myself can bring a level of confidence that unleashes my inner superhero!

So congrats on your achievements, Molly!  You are something that more women should aspire to be – confident, strong, and happy in your own skin!

Look AMAZING in Lingerie!

Lingerie_WebWanna know what one of my hottest selling items has been lately?  It may surprise you… Lingerie!  With a market saturated by large chains specializing in this product, you would imagine that my Pure Romance business wouldn’t do much lingerie volume.  Maybe it’s because us Pure Romance girls know how to make you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.  Read on for tips on how you can looks your best in your least…

Lingerie adds a fun and exciting element to any bedroom encounter- both for the person wearing it AND for the person enjoying the view.  If you really want to get your partner’s temperature to rise, you’ve got to build a closet of lingerie that not only makes you look good, but makes you feel good too.  You can’t just focus on being sexy on the outside, you’ve got to feel sexy and confident on the inside too!

  1. Functional can be FUN!  Unless you are only doing a photo shoot, lingerie needs to be comfortable.  The best pieces of lingerie will be comfortable AND pretty.  If the fit is right, you will look amazing without restricting your movement or breathing.  After all, movement is what you are going for, right?  Make sure that you are getting the right size.  You can use this chart to help figure out the best styles that will fit and flatter your body.  Once you’ve found the fit you love, look for shapes and colors that make you feel the best in your own skin.
  2. Compliment your Assets!  If you’ve ever tried on lingerie in a larger chain store, you know that not all lingerie works for all women.  We are all shaped differently.  And that’s a good thing!  Rest assured that there is a style of lingerie out there that is perfect for you.  Different styles draw attention to different areas of the body, so make sure that you choose a style that highlights the areas of your body that you find the sexiest.  Proud of your luscious curves? Babydoll gowns show off your bust and flatter just about any shape. Think you’ve got an amazing booty? Give your lover a peek of what’s to come with a form-fitting chemise. Considering a jaw-dropping striptease? A black garter slip, revealed after peeling away your everyday layers, can do no wrong. Take this as your lingerie rule of thumb: If you feel amazing, you’ll look amazing, and vice versa!
  3. Put YOURSELF first.  YOU wear the lingerie.  It does not wear you.  If you do not feel sexy and confident in your skimpies, then what is the point?  While it can be a great idea to shop with your significant other and keep their wants in mind, it is most important to please yourself first.  Buy what you love!
  4. CONFIDENT IS SEXY!  Whether you are a guy or a girl… confidence is sexy!  Nothing will boost your confidence like knowing that you look smoking hot in some new lingerie.  This is your time to let your partner know that they hit the jackpot when they met you.  It’s okay to be a little self-conscious, but don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone a bit to show yourself just how amazing you really are.
  5. Don’t make excuses- HAVE FUN!  Don’t talk yourself out of investing in lingerie that will add excitement to your sex life. Too often we hear people second-guess a decision to purchase lingerie because of a fear that it isn’t a wise purchase. Wrong! Good lingerie is an investment in yourself and your confidence … not to mention your sex life!

    Just remember, when you are shopping for lingerie, never forget who you are buying it for! Feeling sexy and confident in every situation is your own personal gift to yourself. Seductive lingerie can give you the chance to feel sexy and bring your wildest fantasies to life. So don’t skimp—allow yourself to treat yourself.

Of course, you could just see all of the Pure Romance line and have an amazing time with friends if you just book your very own Pure Romance party!  I am in the Lexington, Kentucky area and have a few open dates for the next couple of months.  Contact me asap to get your preferred date on the books.  Parties are free, fun, educational, and my hostesses earn some AWESOME rewards!  Who knows… you may even want to become your own boss and join my team.

Embracing Women’s Sexuality

women's desires

Is it just me, or has women’s sexuality been directly in the mainstream lately?  From the transformation of Caitlyn Jenner, to Fifty Shades of Grey and Magic Mike, to shows like Girl Code on MTV… it seems that anywhere you look, female sexuality is everywhere.  Inescapable.  But is that a bad thing?  Or is it about time that pop culture and the media recognize that women’s sexuality is a healthy subject and that women deserve pleasure?

You can probably guess where I stand on the issue.  As a Senior Consultant for Pure Romance, I have the honor of discussing female sexuality on a regular basis. Be it here in Lexington, KY, or in the surrounding cities in which I travel for in-home parties or consultant training. I think that the more human sexuality is discussed, the better.  There has always been a considerable imbalance in what the mainstream media has created for the different sexes.  Now the lines are beginning to blur a bit. The mainstream is realizing that women are empowered and that a MAJOR market is there, ready to be tapped. (No pun intended, HA!)

Films such as Fifty Shades of Grey and Magic Mike XXL are geared almost exclusively towards women.  If you haven’t seen either of these movies, you are missing out!  There aren’t many films out there that so unabashedly celebrate the desires of women.  I saw Magic Mike XXL in a private viewing before the national release with about 300 other women.  It was an AMAZING experience. The overarching messaging was: You deserve to be catered to. These men are here for you. We know what you want and can deliver it.

I’m not going to lie to you, this explosion in media directed towards women’s desires has been great for business.  Like, amazingly good for business.  I used to work a full-time high-pressure job as a project manager for a large advertising firm.  I quit that job to work for myself as a Pure Romance consultant.  I work when I want, as much as I want, and earn as much as I want.  And I cannot wait for more movies and more sequels directed towards women.  KEEP EM’ COMING!  (Again, no pun intended.)

Are you ready to be catered to?  Pure Romance is an entire company dedicated to educating, empowering, and entertaining women.  Let us cater to YOU.  It’s what we do and we do it well!    You can see lots of our amazing products AND have a fabulous time with your girlfriends when you host your very own girls’ night with Pure Romance!  I am in the Lexington, Kentucky area and have a few open dates for the next couple of months.  Contact me asap to get your preferred date on the books.  Parties are free, fun, educational, and my hostesses earn some AWESOME rewards!  Who knows… you may even want to become your own boss and join my team.

Why Choose Silicone for Sex Toys?

silicone sex toys

 

 

 

 

 
The toys you can bring into your bedroom are endless.  They vary greatly in shape, size, function, AND material.  While it can be fun to experiment with differing contours and textures and vibrations, the quality of your toys shouldn’t be left to chance.  Don’t overlook the material that your toys are made of. The material that you choose may make the difference between a toy that lasts and one that gets tossed as a quick fling.  Why choose silicone for sex toys?  Read on to find out.

As you browse through the awesome Pure Romance catalog, you may notice that many of the higher-priced items are made from silicone.  Silicone is the standard in our industry for high-end sex toy materials.  The science behind this material is vast and thorough.  While I could tell you about it’s inception in 1901, its official name polydiphenylsiloxane, or that it’s covalent bonding creates a hydrophobic waterproof coating, it may be more interesting to you why a silicone toy is well worth the extra money.

Silicone loves your body temperature.

Silicone toys quickly warm to match your body temperature, so anywhere they touch will feel just right. Silicone also maintains that temperature longer than other materials, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the moment.

Silicone is non-irritating.

Silicone is a prized hypoallergenic material. That’s one of the reasons why it is used in so many cosmetics and personal products.  This also makes it a great product for people with sensitive skin or allergies.  Silicone has very low toxicity, and low chemical reactivity, so you can enjoy your toys without fear of an allergic response.

Silicone is durable.

You want your investment to last. Silicone toys are made for the long haul.  And to ensure your toy can go the distance, use only water-based lubricants or Pure Romance’s specialty toy lubricant, Simply Silk.

Silicone is clean.

Silicone sex toys are perfect for good clean fun. That’s because their non-porous surfaces are easy to clean. Silicone creates watertight seals, repels water and liquids, and will not support microbial or bacterial growth. To keep your toys clean and functional, be sure to clean your toy before you use it and after.  Pure Romance even offers the perfect cleaning product for you – Come Clean.

Silicone is soft and smooth.

Silicone is a perfect material to come in contact with our most sensitive areas.  It is a very soft, smooth material.  It can even be described as velvety. This texture is perfect for transmitting vibration, making every pulse feel that much more thrilling.

But don’t take my word for it—try it for yourself!  If you have any questions about a Pure Romance product, CALL ME!  Of course, the best way to see all of the great products we offer is by booking your very own Pure Romance Party!  Click here to contact me NOW!  Or maybe you’ve been to a party before and want to become your own boss?  Click here to JOIN MY TEAM!
