Holiday Shopping…and the TRUE Meaning of Christmas!

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on November 18, 2011

For so many of us, the holidays are about giving, family and love. Holiday shopping is that time when we make purchases for our loved ones, friends, coworkers to show them our appreciation for all that they do. There are those who will argue with you and tell you that we’ve forgotten what Christmas is all about. Really? Yes, some of us certainly have. I suppose that in a way, that statement is and or can be true.

When I grew up it was all about family. Waking up on Christmas morning to a room filled with gifts wrapped by Santa. We were amazed when all that we asked for was under the tree. As kids, we had no idea how much time energy and cash was put into making memories, or what our parents had to do to get these gifts, nonetheless what it cost them. So many things we took for granted… Sure we did, we were kids. How many of you did it too? What I never realized though until I became a parent was the love that went into everything that led up to Christmas morning. Yes sure it was the birth of Christ and that is what is celebrated. We see it all wrong today because stores and money and obsession took over….but really, if you were raised in a household like I was where we were taught at a young age what the true meaning of Christmas really was…you would agree that love, kindness and compassion are and do still exist in many many households. I was so very fortunate to have a loving family that did everything in their power to make our life good. If sharing and caring was only for Christmas Day as some say it is, then it would have been Christmas everyday at our house.

My parents took us to church. I was raised Catholic and we attended mass weekly. I think that a lot of people can walk through the doors of a church and say that they went on Saturday, or Sunday…but did they get anything out of it or were they there to put in an appearance? Christmas is a time of year where we celebrate and we give. This holiday season, if you can afford to give to those who cannot…please do so. It will make you feel so good. There are adults and children that don’t have gifts to open on Christmas morning for a lot of reasons. I was a very fortunate child and blessed every holiday. Some people are not so lucky.

While you are out and about this holiday season, remember what Christmas is truly all about and donate your time or money to a charity that needs your help. Give generously to those in need. When my kids were younger and after my divorce I decided that they were going to learn what it was to truly give. Each year I took 2 gifts that they really wanted away from them and asked them to use the money that those gifts would have cost to select and shop for a child or family that was without.

At first my kids hated the fact that they had to give something up. Yes we spoil our kids and do too much for them sometimes…BUT my kids learned a very valuable lesson which was that love comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Until you see what so many people have so little of, you won’t or can’t possibly understand what I am saying here. We do take things for granted…but what about that family whose parent lost his/her job and they cannot afford a tree let alone gifts? Who is going to tell their kids that Santa skipped their house? Giving out of love is what kids need today.

Call your local churches and shelters and ask “HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?” You want to feel like a good person? Try this and I guarantee you…you’ll never let a family go hungry again at the holidays. My children learned because they saw the joy in other kids eyes when we dropped Christmas trees off in the inner city to those who couldn’t afford one. My kids learned that they didn’t need these material things at all. They learned to shop for kids whose lists consisted of tooth brushes and food. One year my daughter chose a girls name who was 9 years old and what did she want for Christmas? A blanket to keep her and her little sister warm at night. She didn’t ask for toys….but warmth.

Yes, while your spoiled kids, like mine were, sat at home playing the X Box or whatever else was popular asking for the latest games or toys, these kids wanted to stay warm and have food to eat. Teach your kids regardless of their age to do what I did. I can assure you that they will grow to teach others what they learned. It will also teach them great values and morals of life and love.

For the last several years, my daughter and son have continued to shop for less fortunate kids and families. My son who works in retail bought gifts of clothes for those who had very little. Coats, gloves, scarves, slippers, whatever was on his list he purchased because people requested these items. My daughter works for a large oil company and started a committee at the office to collect for families who needed assistance. Not only did she do this but she started a team to shop for children with cancer that were in the hospitals. They bought thousands of dollars worth of gifts for families who spent their holiday in the hospital with their children who probably wouldn’t be around next Christmas because these kids were so ill. Tell me now…why are we all so selfish? If everyone would pitch in and do what I raised my kids to do as a single mother…this world would be a much better place. In retrospect, it’s not at all about what you have, it’s about what you can give. Some of us celebrate the holidays differently according to religion. We should all respect that. Giving is something that we can all do regardless of religion, so giddy up!

I challenge all of you to do something for those less fortunate than you and I. Give the gift of love by giving back to those around you who can’t give themselves. Donate to a charity, feed the homeless for the holiday, buy someone a Christmas tree and decorations, make a family dinner, give a child something special to open on Christmas morning. Do these things out of love. I believe in Karma. There was one time when I couldn’t afford a lot but even then I taught my kids to share what we did have. When you crawl into your nice warm bed tonight, remember the little girl that my daughter bought for who only asked for a blanket for Christmas.

BTW- when my daughter read that, she balled like a baby. What did she do? She went to Target and bought one of every color blanket for this family so they would never be cold again. You will feel so good about what you did, and if you don’t I feel sorry for you, because love isn’t a Mercedes Benz with a red ribbon in the driveway, or a diamond necklace, or a bigger house,or the latest video games….love is giving to those unconditionally without cause. I challenge you this holiday season to go without something that you really want to give to those who “really need!” You want to do something with your money…share it this holiday season. Remember, Christmas is love, and peace on earth.

Is Marriage Just a Piece of Paper?

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on November 8, 2011

Before you ever get in a serious relationship, decide what you want. If you never want to get married, then great. Marriage may not be for every couple and that’s ok if that is what you both wish for….Many men say that marriage just isn’t for them, but I’m far more skeptical when it comes from a female. I ask all the time….What is marriage really? So many times in return men ask, what do women really want? Marriage is far more than just a piece of paper. At the very least, many women want to have their perfect wedding, to walk down the aisle and be the center of attention. We want to have that ring on our finger. To women, these ceremonies and gestures are important, more important than a piece of paper. We want a man to love us so much that he’s willing to give up the illusion of being single to commit to us.

To understand a man’s reluctance to get married, you have to think of marriage in terms of a contract. Being in a serious long-term relationship is the equivalent to signing a lease together. Yes, you have made a commitment to each other, but it is relatively easy to break the lease and move on if times get tough. Some one once told me when I asked them what they thought of marriage….they said, and I quote…” Signing a marriage license for a guy is like signing a 30-year-morgage.” What? Then he said …..Like the lease, the terms of this mortgage can be altered or the contract can be terminated, but not without a significant amount of strife. Ok, my thoughts were; with that attitude you won’t get very far, but then again, think about it, but in terms not so harsh as those. Marriage really is a legal contract between two people. My theory these days though is that not enough couples want to try to make it work…they give up, say it’s too much work and blame it on irreconcilable differences.

20+ yrs ago when I got married you didn’t hear of such terms…lets go back even further than that…my parents and grandparents didn’t give up. Marriage is harder than a full-time job as a CEO at a company. It takes hard work, dedication and so much determination, all of which these days couples have no desire or so it seems to do. Lets take recently the whole Kim Kardashian wedding. 72 days? Are you serious? I call these marriages a disaster. I haven’t heard of anything this ludicrous since Britney Spears married old high school flame and got it annulled 48 hours later. Is it the hype, a night of liquor and passion,or did they think they loved each other and didn’t? Why make the committment to tie the knot and put that much work into it if you aren’t sure or if this is where you end up? My suggestion is take it slow and think longggggggggg and hard over this one. It’s not as easy as it appears and more often than not, being in the public eye doesn’t help. To love is not as easy as one might think, and if you have never been in love, or married, you really have no right to judge what others do or how they live their life. Sure you can form opinions but love truly can cut like a knife.

Personally, I do believe that you don’t need a piece of paper to prove that you’re happy or compatible with a person. While I think it’s important to take the ole’ test drive …(and I am not speaking of taking it just around the block…take it out on the highway to see how that motor really reacts to induced heat) to determine your domestic compatibility with a partner, you shouldn’t make this leap until you have had a serious conversation about your future. In my opinion, sincerity is the most essential element of a marriage proposal. Remember, this is your life we’re talking about…and marriage isn’t just a piece of paper.

Dating Sites…Good or Bad?

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on November 4, 2011

What is the scoop on dating sites? Are they good or are they bad? Can you trust these sites? Do they screen their members? Who sets the rules? Does everyone follow the rules, or are their rule breakers? All I hear about online and around my friends is “Are you going to the fish event, or you should sign up for POF (plenty of fish), you should get a sugar daddy, or meet the man of your dreams or get 6 months free”….what most people don’t know is that I did try a dating site a few years back and met a nice guy who turned out to be married and deceiving and thought he had life by the balls …he was a resident in Michigan, but was working in Houston Texas, and… until I did a little digging only to learn that he was married and had two kids. He joined POF in Houston Texas, put up some old photos and said he was single. Why? Not sure, lonely, pathetic, or just wanted to score a piece of ass, unhappy marriage? What did this do to my emotions and well being? Well… I was crushed, mostly because I was so naive, and then I pondered the question…Why do men do this? Because they think that they can get away with it, or they have issues that can only be handled through therapy and counseling. Hey, listen, I’m not saying women don’t do the exact same thing on websites such as this and a variety of others because they do. I don’t want you to think that I am picking on one particular sex, because I am not. Both are guilty as charged.

Where am I going with this you ask? For years I have written about love and relationships. Recently I decided to check this out again so I rejoined under a new user name. I did this for a few reasons 1)out of mostly curiosity and 2) to see if the site made any changes? I joined Plenty of Fish otherwise knows as POF to see what kind of men were on the site and what their motives were. Shocking enough, as surprised as I thought I would be, I was angered and disappointed to say the least which now leads me to the question…Who exactly is running the show there and why is it that some people can get away with posting smutty photos while others including the profile that I created posted a terrific bio and photos that were…. lets just say, me, but perhaps a little provocative to some. What happened? I was scolded. I received the ole “You picture was in violation of our site, bla bla bla…”

Listen, they are not provocative to me in the least. I find them alluring sure, but most of them to be appealing in good taste, sensual and sexy. Why? I own a lingerie shop and sexy and sensual is a confidence that women need like we need air. There is nothing wrong with provocative photos. No I am not nor was I ever trying to use POF as an advertising stomping ground for free. I was there merely to get a look at what was going on with dating sites in general, and I chose them first because of all of the hype they get. Look at some of the women on POF and view their photos and their bios. In all honesty, what I saw…was flat-out and as plain as the nose on my face a stomping ground for whores looking for a quick fix. Ladies? well, actually I shouldn’t call you ladies, but what are you thinking?

If you are going to sell yourself for sex, grow a brain and don’t do it on a free site where men are not going to take you serious. How do I know this? So many men that befriended me on POF told me about the women and how quickly they wanted to meet up for sex only a few short hours after beginning conversation. Now I have heard everything…pimping yourself out on a FREE dating site. You know…There are sites to go to if you have the “package deal” that you can arrange a NSA kind of relationship where you both win and get allowances to do so. Are those sites discrete? You bet they are, and they are NOT free. In fact they are quite costly, but well worth the price. Isn’t your privacy worth a lot to you? When you join a site like POF and other sites for free and display yourself like a cold hearted tramp, you are making good normal women such as myself and so so many others look bad and we are now frowned upon ‘ no thanks’ to you!

Everything in my bio was true and 100% of who I am, and what I want from a man..no lies, no bending the truth..my age is my real age, my pictures are my pictures. I display a sincere and honest women…so where does that get you? Not far really. What was ever worse that how they tore my images apart almost on a daily basis were the other women and what they allow on this site. I mean, seriously is this a free dating site or a whore house gone public? Either someone doesn’t know how to run the show there or they pick and choose who they want to get the attention to drum them up new business then cut that individual off practically at the knees when others complain that they are not getting noticed.

My photos were deleted of me showing my back in a sundress walking up a sand dune on a beach, but put my photo up in a red hot bikini top and it stayed for hours. In the first 30 minutes I had 87 emails and men trying to IM me for conversation. Were these men really interested in me or are they horndogs? Who is behind all of this then, and why do my photos keep disappearing? Is it the jealous women who turn you in and click on the (if you don’t see an image of the face, report here?) or the outraged men that send you obscene gestures and email notes expecting to get a rise out of you and when you either A) don’t respond back, or B) delete them they get all pissy? Both,and or all of the above…is what I am guessing. Do dating sites use particular profiles as tools to better suit themselves? You bet they do.

How does a normal person succeed on a dating site when they only want to be themself? What a sad world it has become when you judge a person by their photo and not their inner beauties. I”’ tell you, I have a lot of friends who express their joys and sorrows regarding dating often and my heart aches for them because they’ll make the best partner for someone but they don’t want all the red tape to deal with either. I believe in fate, and paths crossing for reasons.

What is this doing to normal people like myself who is fully behind the dating scene and suggests to ALL of my friends to try a dating site? It’s putting a bad taste in my mouth. Think about it, it’s a free site, and my grandmother always did say that when it is free you get what you pay for. She also used to say “Michele, there are plenty of fish in the sea!” I don’t know what sea she was referring to but the one sea of fish that I just recently joined for free is not at all what I anticipated, and wow, did I learn more than I ever anticipated.

1) People Lie to you, yes FLAT OUT LIE!

2) They lie about their looks, age, and how ’bout this shocker..their marital status!

3) They post pictures that are 10-20 yrs old. Good Lord,…why?

4) They don’t know how to be genuine or honest.

Now, I am not at all saying that all men and women on that site act as such, BUT, we must be careful due to our ethics and especially or business practices, following, clients, vendors, and customer in my case, as well as what gets out via word of mouth. What are my thoughts? Your really don’t want to know. I do know that people are going to be petitioning congress and anyone else that will listen in the future to ask, no insist that companies like “Plenty of Fish” take more responsibility and step up to the plate to elevate these pain in the ass people on dating site who cannot be truthful,who are wronging all of us and tarnishing our good reputations. People go to these sites seeking possibly finding Mr/Ms Right. If you want a quick piece of ass, do yourself a big favor and go to the corner bar and pick someone up for a one night stand, don’t ruin it for the good people who deserve true happiness.

I am, at the moment however, standing up for POF because they deserve that much from me, and out of respect for them in what they are trying to do; I say that this POF could be a highly potential phenomenal dating site ranked up in that top 10, but it will never get there if they continue to display the actions that they do and allow things to happen as such. No they are not babysitters, nor can they keep an eye on everyone, but there has to be something that can be enforced here to keep people on the straight and narrow? 1) like most other sites, there should be a 24-48 hour hold so that someone can check out your bio and approve the photos BEFORE they get posted. 2) set stricter policies, 3) ba allowed to delete without notice if you get too many complaints.

Actually for all the hype that I got on POF I wondered why they can complain about anything… when they aren’t even ranked amongst the top 10 dating sites. Why? Well, look what happened to me, and you’ll get your answers. Who were the high ranking sites? Glad you asked?

1) Match.com (as if that was a big surprise) I used them way back in the day after my divorce and it was a good site, but even better now.

2) Eharmony

3) ZOOSK

4)Chemisty.com

5) SeniorPeopleMeet.com

6) SingleParentMeet.com

7) JDate.com (for Jewish people)

8) ChristianMingle.com

9) CatholicMatch.com

10)Matchmaker.com

In closing, in no way whatsoever am I stating NOT to try a dating site, in fact, as I stated earlier, I am all for this form of dating, especially in a society today where we are too busy to meet a man/woman the old fashion way, although as old fashion as I still am, I do believe that my prince is right around the corner….he either took a wrong turn and got lost, or he isn’t seeing the bigger picture and has not yet realized how badly he really does need a woman like me in his life. I just suggest that you are well guarded if you join a dating site online. Remember, you may just meet the man/woman of your dreams there! Just beware, there are freaks, and stalkers and worse. These people prey on us when we are weak, so be strong, and never, ever, ever give out personal information to anyone, especially your address. I’d love to hear your experiences with dating sites…so please share with me yours so that we can show so many readers/viewers that love is possible, and dating sites are and do really work! Your site you used may not be on the top 10, however, there are a ton of sites that have excellent reputations and are solid, far too many to list, but don’t be afraid to mention your site so others can see it in my cooments section. Please share with not only myself but with everyone.

Whoever said they have NO time to prepare a meal?

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on November 3, 2011

No time to cook? Poor excuse. Try this….Make a 30 minute or less meal, and it certainly beats the crap you buy at the drive thru at McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Burger King. No more lame excuses folks, this is better for you, healthier and so much better tasting. Take 30 minutes and try it…don’t be lazy, I worked 2 jobs and put 2 kids through college, and I still had time to come home and cook.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked egg noodles
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 cups chopped cooked chicken
3 cups grated sharp cheese, your choice, divided
1 (2 1/4-ounce) package slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup drained, chopped pimentos
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, toss together the noodles, soup, broth, and sherry. Add the chicken, 2 cups of the cheese, the almonds, pimento, mushrooms, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to a greased 13 by 9 by 2-inch casserole and top with the remaining cup of cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. This dish will melt in your mouth and you’ll got to bed later feeling much better than having that feeling like your tummy is full of gas from burgers and whatever else they put in their meals at those fast food restaurants. Take the time to cook, it’s the best thing for you and your mate, partner, lover, spouse and family will love it!

What does your coat say about YOU?

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on October 16, 2011

What’s your poison? In coats silly…we all have fashionable taste in our everyday attire, but what do you wear to accessorize and bundle up? The newest trends for the fall and winter 2011 season have been long set and now it’s time to make room for your coats in your wardrobe. Coats are definite the detail that will make all the difference this season as they are the most ‘out there’ piece of your outfit, so if you want to look uber-trendy make sure the following 2011-2012 Winter Coat that rock don’t miss from your wardrobe.

For many women, and men, our coats are a very large accessory and they are not to be taken lightly…In fact, your jacket says a lot about you who are, and what you like, both in style, class and sophistication. I happen to L-O-V-E my Michael Kors Double-breasted Houndstooth Coat. What you wear not only makes a fashion statement, rather it tells a story. How you dress says ‘this is me!’ It serves as a ‘trademark’ so to speak, and it expresses your vibrant basis for wanting to look simply smashing! I adore Michael Kors coats, and handbags, ….I even have a favorite ‘little black dress’ that is a product of Michael Kors. Regardless of who makes the coat, it’s how it looks and feels on you that assists you in choosing. It’s sort of like having an acquired taste. My kids and I love fashion. I happen to wear a lot of Michael Kors, www.mickaelkors.com and love my houndstooth coat which btw is vintage. My daughter on the other hand is a very big fan of Burberry, www.burberry.com and loves her black quilted trench coat. Currently she lives in Houston Texas and although it stay warm there throughout the year, she finds a few weeks in their winter months to go stylish with her savvy jacket! My son, an avid fan of Club Monaco, www.clubmonaco.com. Their fall and winter jackets and accessories this season are hot!

Find a coat based on not only its looks, rather how well it looks on YOU! What might look great on me might not look so well on you,…then what looks fabulous on YOU, might look awful on me. I have thighs and a big tush, therefore, I like a jacket that comes to my thighs or a little lower (somewhere between my knees and my thighs) and MUST cover the ass. Remember, fashion is about style, and how you look and feel. You don’t need to wear a big designer name to feel fashionable and get noticed. I have my winter coats that range anywhere from H&M www.hm.com $69.95 to Burberry and Michael Kors at $995. Keep in mind, wear a nice scarf that is stylish, and make sure that your boots or shoes compliment your jacket! You want to be noticed from head to toe!

Consider the weather in your area. If you live in an area that reaches sub-zero temperatures and has abundant snowfall you will need a coat that is well insulated and that is water-resistant. Forget about the cute little suede jackets that are designed for style and not warmth. These simply aren’t suitable as winter jackets in your area.
Purchase a coat that fits you well. Try it on and take a good look in the mirror. Be sure to view yourself from all angles. Raise your arms to see how it will look when you are active. If it pulls up and exposes your clothing, it won’t provide you with protection from the elements, unless you intend to stand around and look pretty all day. Don’t be afraid to try a larger, or smaller, size that you normally wear to see how it looks.
Consider what you will be wearing under this coat. If you intend to wear heavy sweaters during the winter, allow room for this.
Choose a color that complements your coloring and hair. Shocking pink may be all the rage, but if it makes you look pale and sickly, it’s not for you. Consider how well the jacket’s color and style will go with your usual attire. If you wear a lot of bright and patterned clothing, you may want a solid color for a jacket

According to a recent poll; The Top 5 Winter Coats:

Pea coats: Pea coats are versatile winter coats. They can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a casual day at work, school or running around town. If you’re looking for a casual coat that still looks sharp, you can’t go wrong with a sophisticated black or navy pea coat. If you’re interested in making a bold statement, you’ll be glad to see that pea coats are available in many different colors and patterns.
Trench coats: A classic women’s coat, trench coats are now available in more colors and fabrics than ever before. You can’t go wrong with a traditional black or khaki trench coat when you want a chic look, but you could also add some excitement to your wardrobe with a red or fuchsia trench coat.
Fashion coats: Are you thinking about something a bit more glamorous? Pay attention to the details and you’ll find a fashion coat that will give you the flair you want. Try luxurious fabrics, like faux fur or something with a metallic finish. Fun details — bold buttons, ruffled necklines, decorative zippers and belts — make all the difference and will really make heads turn.
Leather coats can be edgy — think motorcycle-inspired leather jackets that fit close to your body — or they can be classic — like a long leather topper. Whichever style you choose, you can rest assured that a leather coat will be extremely durable and a lot of fun.
Down coats are sure to keep you warm during the cold winter months. Many down coats are available with hoods, adding an extra bit of warmth. For comfort and warmth with a sporty attitude, down coats are the perfect women’s coats.

Remember, it’s not about what you pay for the attire, it’s how you wear it with confidence that keeps you warm, toasty and smiling!

Please Yourself First…How To Get Sexy!

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on October 12, 2011

We all want to look sexy. We want to tease and please. First, please yourself! Be happy with yourself and your body! We all have a variety of characteristics that support our girlie figures. What looks good on myself might not look good on you, and visa versa. When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror naked and felt sexy? Yikes does that sound scary. Quite frankly, this is becoming a problem and most people in our society go through when it comes to feeling sexy and good about themselves. We all see those sexy celebrities on television andwe always wish that we looked like them some day. Why? I don’t. Stop being a follower and set an example and show people that you are a leader! The fact is that why can’t you look like them?

What is it about you what makes you feel ashamed about your body? Do you know what you can become sexy within a matter of a few days if you just make small adjustments with your body? Read on to discover how to feel tremendously sexy in bed and achieve mind-blowing results. Sexy, on the contrary to what sooo many people think, is not at all about how hot you look. Most men who look beyond the looks wants to see a woman who has a sexy mind. What do I mean by this? They seek a woman who is independent, intelligent, and intriguing. It goes far beneath the surface gals, these days they want the whole package, but honestly, I find that men find you more appealing if you have the 3 “I’s” going for you!

Sexy isn’t just about wearing high heels and a low-cut blouse. Feeling sexy comes from within and when you truly feel sexy, you can exude it. In order to feel sexy about yourself, you must have self-esteem. When you feel beautiful you naturally boost your confidence. When you feel sexy you release endorphins that put you in a good mood. So go ahead and feel great about yourself and you’ll see a difference in all of the relationships in your life? Listen,…No matter what you are doing set your mind to believe that it is the sexiest and most intimate task you’ve ever done. Whether you’re making up a bed or applying make-up, don’t rush. Make every move deliberate and with the purpose of being seductive. Pay attention to what your body is doing and slow down your actions…yes you heard me, slowwwww themmmm downnnnn Slow movements can be very sexy. You want to catch a mans eye and give him something to want more of. If you breeze by him too quickly, he won’t give you a second glance.

Are you passionate about most things? If not, start acting like you are passionate about everything you’re doing. No one wants to hear someone complain about every menial task, so don’t. As you practice actually being the passionate person, you will eventually get into a habit of it and it will become second nature. It’s like taking baby steps. If you are not pron to do this, you’ll need some work, but you’ll get there. Passion helps you enjoy life and will put an incredible smile on your face that will draw everyone to you.

Did you know that smiling is probably one of the easiest and sexiest things you can do. It shows that you are happy, confident, and pleasant to be around. Everyone wants to be around someone who smiles. It’s also easy to talk to someone who is smiling as opposed to someone who has a frown on their face. Smiling can make you easy to approach and will have people flocking to be around you. They will also think you’re up to something, which can make you even more mysterious and intriguing, even if you don’t have a secret. Listen gals, you don’t have to spend a ton of money to feel sexy. You can be a sexy woman by just changing your attitude and outlook on life. Spending time to change your view of yourself is very rewarding and can make all of your relationships much more fun and enjoyable.

5 Tips for easy Getting Sexy Ways!

Step 1. Get half-naked. I’ve read a lot of advice on how to feel sexier and I always see the tip that you should walk around naked. Ok, first off, I wasn’t raised like that. Not at all! Sooo, Ummm, I don’t really support this. I often get really cold when I’m naked, and that’s not a sexy feeling. And then there’s the question of where I should sit down. Do I put a towel down or what? So I have a bit better suggestion than walking around with your ass hanging out — walk around with just your underwear on. It’s a slight distinction, but it does make a difference. The trick is to find super-flattering bottoms. www.SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com check out our 100s of matching bra and panty sets! Affordable and sexy! Boy shorts are fabulous and so is the wide selection of our intimate apparel.

Step 2. Put it in your mouth! (Good food, that is, gee get your mind out of the gutter!) To feel sexy, you have to feed your body. I can’t stress this enough. It doesn’t matter if you’re thin or heavy — when your diet is depressing, sex and feeling sexy is going to be the last thing on my mind. I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin and I didn’t want to be touched. When all you’re thinking about is your next meal and how pathetic it’s going to be because you’re on a terrible diet, you’re not going to feel sexy. Now I eat real food — butter, sausage, cashews, cheese, greasy pizza, and I drink vodka— all in all, I actually look and feel more like a real woman. I’m not a size 2 and I like how I look for the most part. My best friend has an eating disorder, and I’ve watched her struggle her whole life and in truth, I’d rather be a little heavier than live with her disorder.

Step 3. Work those hips, girl. A lot of people recommend working out to feel sexy, but sometimes following a workout, frankly…I wouldn’t do me. I am tired and I get cranky, not to mention feeling gross and sweaty. The kind of workout I recommend doing is something super body-conscious. Try any kind of dance class or even cardio striptease….it may feel silly and it may not even be the best workout ever, but it will make you feel sexy. I’m a terrible dancer, and I have two left feet, but you can buy a dancer pole at Simply Delicious Lingerie that comes with a tape and goodies and it will teach you to feel sexy and gather moves that make you knock his socks off. You don’t have to get down right kinky dirty, not at all. Most often, when you try something new, it makes a man feel like you are putting his needs first. Yes, you need to do it for yourself, BUT why not kill two birds with one stone and do something pleasurable for you both?

Step 4. Check out what others see? I’m a big fan of spending some time looking at yourself the way other people do. video tape yourself or simply look at photos that others have taken of you. Pick our what you like and what you do not like. You can make easy changes. These are all cosmetic changes you see, easy fixes in my opinion.

Step 5. Have some good sex. Yes, there’s something to be said for having good sex with someone who appreciates your body. If you’re with someone who makes you self-conscious about how you look, sound, taste, feel, smell, laugh, or cry, you need to make a run for it and find someone who appreciates you for you.

Does a Broken Heart Ever Mend?

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on October 12, 2011

The Bee Gees sang about it in the early 70s and now the question is still at hand? How can you mend a broken heart? When you suffer a break up whether it be a long marriage or a relationship gone south, how do you pick up the pieces and move forward? For some it is quite easy. I’ve watched friends, one in particular go from one boyfriend to another, over and over. She can never figure out what she is doing wrong and why he leaves? Hello…why buy the cow when he can get the milk for free? You’re new boobs are not going to make a difference. You need to change on the inside or no one will ever love you on the outside. The answer for everyone else is, it takes time.

Mending a Broken Heart. The Do’s & Don’ts

Even though it may seem impossible at this time, below are some tips to help you through this hard time. First understand that it’s the loosing of love that is excruciating, not the love itself. Gradually you have to pull away and come back to the real world. Don’t fall into the “poor me” trap. The truth is, people get dumped every day! Deal with it. When I say that I do mean it in the kindest way. Everyone has a sensory button within and all of us run on difference juice and energy. What works best for me, might not work effectively on you. Here are some things to try to help assist you in easing the pain…

Writing– buy a journal or type out everything that you are feeling. It can be random thoughts and feelings. Get it all out. Read through it to see if anything is missing and continue to add to it as needed…better yet, here’s a powerful thought…write a blog!

Relive your Relationship– write down all the good times and all the bad ones. No matter how heartbreaking it is to go through it again you need find out why the relationship went bad.

Make a List– list out your ex’s good qualities and bad ones. Make sure it’s a complete list down to the little things that drove you crazy. You’re crazy list will probably be real long now that you think about it and look back on the relationship with a new set of eyes.

Decide what you want– even though you may not be ready to date yet, write down all the qualities that you want in a partner and what you don’t want. Make sure that you are specific. Don’t settle. You want what you want…there is a happy meeting in the middle, yes, just don’t change who you are to appease them for goodness sakes.

Don’t be afraid to CRY and find something to take your aggression out on. A pillow, golf ball, racquetball or anything that isn’t living or breathing. You’ll feel much better! Save yourself the money of therapy. I went there after my divorce and for $150 an hour she gave me a Nerf bat and told me to smack stuff with it. How about I smack her until she gives me my money back!

Try taking the “I” out– rather than focusing on your feelings and needs you need to put yourself in your partner’s shoes and see what it would have been like to date you. Make a list of the things you would have done different or better. Was their needs met or did you have to high of expectations. Did you nag or degrade them? When you realize where you went wrong it can easily bring back all the heartbreaking memories

Don’t get Mad, Get Even! How you do is by proving that they were wrong about you. Did they think you were fat? In my opinion, that’s just cruel, but people can be real assholes. This is done by getting in the best shape you possibly can. I dont’ necessarily mean to shape up as in lose weight, I mean shape up and build your inner strengths that this partner knocked done time and time again. Exercise does wonders for your self-confidence; helps you take out pent-up aggression and will make your ex wonder what got into you and their heart will be breaking because they let you go..really? Who writes this crap? No…You do it for you and the heck with that old partner…vamoos! They are no longer your worries. Do not allow them to take up any more of your time. They are like an unwanted tenant living in your head not paying rent. Get rid of them! I can assure you that they are not worried about you at all, so DO NOT give them the satisfaction whatsoever! Take all that you got out of that relationship and use it for the future so that you don’t fall victim of a person like this again.

Get Out and LIVE!– go shopping and buy a new wardrobe. Get a makeover. Take care and pamper yourself. This is my favorite part of break ups! Finally you pamper YOU!

Put a beautiful smile on regardless of how your feeling, never let them know that they got to you. When they know that they are under your skin, they work harder to stay there. Do not allow this, not only are they being quite childish, it proves that you are weak. Don’t let them do this, you deserves far better!

Start talking– to everyone and anyone. Make new friends, just don’t bring up the ex. This is your new life without them in it. Remember you were a person before they came along.

Make a list of all your qualities and everything you have to offer. If you don’t love you then who will? If you want to sell yourself to a new person, you have to be the best at your game.

Make a list of your goals that you want to pursue. It can be anything from taking a cooking class, a new career or a dance class. Start working towards them. For me it was to start a business. If anyone would have told me 15 years ago that I would become a single mother of two, get educated and start a business I wouldn’t have believed them. YOU have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and giddy up to a new attitude! You can do anything you put your mind to. My grandmother told me once; “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door~” I built plenty and I will forever continue to build them.

Pack up the evidence and all of his other crap that leaves memories….of your relationship together. Put it in a box and set it in the garage or somewhere you don’t have to look at it until you are over your heart-break. Or do what I did…burn it. Why keep it around? Is it healthy, NO.

Stop the pain triggers that are heartbreaking. Change you ways, try new things and for goodness sakes, get out and mingle with new people! You have to enjoy life. Don’t let someone who never had the intentions of making you their priority steer wrong your new options.

Stop ALL of….the calls, emails and texts. If for some reason you absolutely have to communicate then keep it short and strictly business. NO PERSONAL STUFF. They will use it against you to keep you hanging on or make you feel bad by telling you what they are doing. DON’T DO IT! You need a break time, when you’re heartbreaking is done then you can become friendlier.

Flush out all of negative thoughts about everything. Think only positive things and you will attract more positive in your life. If you only think negative thoughts then you will attract more pain and negativity.

Start to mingle again…with the opposite sex and try flirting a little. You don’t need to jump into another relationship, but just start talking so you feel comfortable again. Too many people do this and it backfires most of the time. Give yourself time and space to heal, otherwise this person will be under your skin for a long time. You can’t begin to heal with a bad taste in your mouth, so buck up little cowboy and ride this horse into town at your own pace! This will give you the confidence for when you are ready to date. Just don’t talk about the ex….not only is that bad, it is quite unhealthy for you. Yes, broken hearts do mend, it just takes time.

Expectations in Marriage

Posted by SimplyDeliciousLingerie on October 11, 2011

In marriage, knowing what to expect is half the battle! So, here are some things you should expect in marriage. Now some of them may sound negative, but they aren’t meant to be. We just need to be prepared that challenges will likely arise. When they do, it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world, or your marriage.

1. Conflict….We’ll all go through this.

Conflict will happen, and that’s okay, don’t you expect it? I did. Figure out how to handle the situation, what steps to take, what to say, and certainly what “not to say!” If you handle these conflicts in a loving, mature way, it won’t seem so bad. Communication!! KEY!! Talk it out!!

2. Expect Delays

Planning for your future is a great thing to do as a couple, just understand that things don’t always arrive on schedule – not babies, not raises, not your health problems, not the sitter! Things are going to come up. Never fails in my family….it’s always something. When you expect delays, you won’t freak out when they happen.

Ex; when planning a get together, party, etc….tell your guest to arrive at 3pm when the party really starts at 3:30. If they are anything like my Ex’s family, they still showed up late..but oh how they were the life of the party when they did arrive!

3. Expect Disappointments

File this in the, “you’re both only human” category. Your spouse will not be the answer to all of your problems. Your spouse won’t be a mind reader or anticipate all of your needs. You need to tell your spouse what you want, and need…otherwise, how will they know?

4. Expect to be annoyed, pissed off, and out numbered from time to time

What was once appealing is now annoying. Why is this? Perhaps it was a habit that he/she had that you once thought was quite cute now irritates you? Be ready for that habit of his or hers you found so adorable while you were dating, to become annoying,..what’s worse is if you tell them it annoys you now and they keep doing it… But remember this, there are things you’re doing that are likely to be driving them nuts too. Cut them some slack and continually focus on their good qualities. If you just can’t overlook what’s bothering you, talk about it in a loving, kind way….don’t throw things at them, it won’t work, you’ll just end u repairing the hole you put in the drywall. How do I know this? I threw a bathroom scale once….Oh, it got his attention, and he sent me the repair bill for $95.00

5. You’ll find that you’re doing more…

You might feel like you’re Super Mom…. doing more dishes, more laundry, more bedtime reading with the kids, more yard work, more taking the garbage out. You get the idea. When you start feeling put out and put upon, take some time to assess the situation. Be verbal, and by this I mean chat about it, …..no screaming and yelling…. Instead of attacking your spouse and demanding more help, sit down and calmly express your desire to do your jobs well, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Maybe he doesn’t realize that you are getting burnt out?

6. Agree to disagree

Just because you are “one” in marriage, doesn’t mean you will agree on everything. You never will agree on everything, you may be the missing piece to his puzzle but your aren’t a miracle worker. You aren’t always going to be right……Even though the pieces match doesn’t mean the patterns do……but, guess what? That’s okay. Respect your spouse’s right to have a different opinion than you. Don’t shoot down ideas right then and there, think about the time that he put into this thought. There is more than one way to get the job done and believe me when I say,…arguing will only prolong it. You are both partners of respect, so give a little.

7. Not attracted to your spouse anymore?

This may never happen to you, BUT it does happen to a lot of couples. You might go through your entire marriage with the hots for your mate. But if, at some point, you’re just not that into your spouse, pray that you will have a loving heart, and talk about it, or seek counseling for guidance. Many things cause this, mid life crisis comes to mind….(been there done that, with my spouse) Also, look beyond the physical or lack of chemistry and fall in love with what’s good about your spouse. You might be missing something really great!

Marriages are a lot of work, and they are a two way street….you need to talk it out. Remember what brought you both together in the first place,…remember the wonderful times that you have shared over the years and be grateful for the time you have with your spouse. Nothing lasts forever, life is precious. Marriage is a loving bond that takes much nurturing….My parents are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary this October. I’ve never seen two people happier! Sure they argue, its fun to watch them do it, they both always think they are right…..but someone always caves in and lets the other win the argument. Communication, understanding, patience, and love for one another is why their marriage is so strong. My marriage didn’t last because I didn’t have what my folks have. Trust and communication….without it, your ship will sink.
