Questions to cover BEFORE you marry!!!

1) Do we truly listen to each other and fairly consider one another’s ideas and complaints?

2) Does each of us feel fully confident in the other’s commitment to the marriage and believe that the bond can survive whatever challenges we may face?

3) Are there some things that you and I are NOT prepared to give up in the marriage?

4) Do we have a detailed list of each other’s financial obligations and goals, and do our ideas about spending and saving mesh?

5) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?

6) Have you tried living together 1st, if so, what conclusions have you made that should be discussed.
7) Have we discussed our expectations for how the household will be maintained, and are we in agreement on who will manage the chores?

8) Have we reached a clear understanding of each other’s spiritual beliefs, and discussed when and how our children will be exposed to religious/moral education?

9) If you have a child(ren) and there significant does not. Have you come to an agreement on how and what your boundaries are disciplining his/her child.

10) Can we comfortably and openly discuss our sexual needs, preferences and fears? VERY IMPORTANT!

11) Is my partner affectionate to the degree that I expect?

12) What are the do’s/don’ts that will turn us off physically which can later lead to wandering eyes?

13) If one of us were to be offered a career opportunity in a location far from the family, are we prepared to move?

14) Do we value and respect each other’s parents, and is either of us concerned about whether the parents will interfere with the relationship?

15) What does my family do that annoys you?

16) Do you like Strip Clubs? If you want a honest answer deliver this question OPENLY as if you like them. I know too many married men that go to these behind their wife's back because she is not open enough and this is how lies start! NOT GOOD!

17) Do we like and respect each other’s friends?

18) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?

19) Are you both in agreement with a certain lifestyle you plan to have?

20) Will there be a prenup or any contracts?

Fantasy Parties

Girls Night In “Passion Party” Aiioohh

This is a new exciting venture that we can all learn and benefit from. With the cold weather here, I thought that it would be a great idea to activate that passion and turn up the heat. We are all beautiful hard working women that know how to take care of business and have another side to us, a WILD SIDE. So I was thinking we can bring more excitement into our homes and allow us to spend some quality time together.

Therefore, LET”S HAVE A PASSION/FANTASY/SEX PARTY whatever you want to call it.

I will host a party in the privacy of your own home, we can relax, drink, talk, and have fun; all while receiving tips on improving our sex life and building a stronger relationship with our partner(s <- lol ) from all of us. The one thing I would like to recommend, which I have noticed, is that it’s more exciting/interesting when you invite friends you don’t see a regular basis because everyone is catching up. It is a totally different atmosphere – keep in mind nothing is taboo or off limits as my products aren’t that limited <wink>

I was able to pick and choose a few things from different fetishes that range from $2. - $120., so if you have one in mind please let me know as I will order a couple samples for you (secretly) and everyone to see. One thing I am almost certain of is that you will NOT be able to beat my prices matched to the stores, because of my good nature I brought the price down tremendously and if you don’t believe it try to match it!

Also, the orders are private, so once I am done hosting, those who are shy can just give me their sale order sheet and enjoy the night. For those who have questions, I am open, so either way everyone will be comfortable. Best of all, once I figure out the total in sales you will have options to choose your one gift (or multiple gifts) depending on the total sale range.

So let's set a date... Don't leave Sunday afternoons out either ;)

LCN Nails

I had no idea what the big deal was UNTILL I had no other option but to get LCN done because in Brooklyn all the nails places near me do not use acrylic any more and I wish I would have done it sooner! The gel is a clear unlike the bubbles in acrylic and light coverage so it makes your nails look totally natural. It's pricey but last longer so it works out.

Here's some information so that you won't be alarmed of this transformation as I was.

Light Concept Nails (LCN) are a cosmetic fingernail product manufactured by German company Wilde Cosmetics. An alternative to acrylics, Light Concept Nails are made of a gel-like light cured resin. They are safer, more natural in appearance, and more durable than acrylic nail products and they are non-porous, so they protect the natural nail and do not discolor over time.

Enjoy looking fab!

BEFORE, DURING, & AFTER

Ladies – Pedicures are NOT only done in the summer! They should be done every 2 weeks, even if you do them yourself for the rest of your life, especially if you have that significant other.

No one want to see unkept toes, it’s not lady like and tells a lot about your high gene.

Now, unless you and your partner agree that it’s ok not to have your feet looking scrumptious then that’s your option – just one I would never recommend.

We have been labeled and chosen to be the face of beauty for all human kind. Therefore, it’s up us to live out those expectations, accept and deliver our sexiness!

NYC

Just because you live in NYC it does mean you get a pass to wear anything, trust me people are laughing and probably have an entire discussion over your ensamble.

If you are into shopping, fashion, and in-the-know there is no excuse to walk around with rainbow sneakers and army hat; come on now…

Why can’t some look somewhat put together?  You can be different and still look as if you have a mirror. Wearing anything you want is not an excuse to excuse your appearance.
