Sex Through Your Ages

A lot of people liken sex to riding a bike; that being, you never forget how. But sometimes it’s not an issue of forgetting, it’s that our bodies, needs, wants, and preferences change over the years.

Plan a Wedding: Book a Photographer

So you’ve got your venue all picked out, and you’ve decided to book a photographer for your wedding. Wise choice. Wedding photographers serve several important functions at a wedding, including:

Sex Talk

There is no universal way to talk to somebody about sex; there is the ideal and there is the reality. Ideally, you should feel empowered and confident enough to communicate with your partner about sex, including discussions about exclusivity, technique, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and birth control.

Talk Dirty

Okay, so you’re dying to add some sass and raunch to your nightly romps, but how will your partner feel if you suddenly appear in leather and sound like a porn star?

Feel More Comfortable Masturbating

How To Eat Like A Celeb

Jennifer Aniston follows The Zone, Beyoncé knocked off 20 lbs on The Master Cleanse and Jessica Biel fills up on mini meals with The 3-Hour diet. And let’s face it; they look pretty good. Shocking, since you’ve probably heard that fad diets don’t work. Nutrition guru and personal trainer, Marshall Tully, debunks that myth…well, kind of.

Sexy Comes From Within

Despite the impression that the fashion glossies give, the key to confidence actually has very little to do with a fabulous wardrobe, expensive makeup and a stick-insect body. “Being proud of yourself and the curves that you possess is the key to confidence,” says Carmen Puyo, one of the creators of Burst!, a workshop that empowers women through movement.

Book an All-Inclusive Vacation

There are vacations and then there are all-inclusive vacations. Both are enjoyable, but one often features pricey food, pricey drinks and sketchy hostels, while the other involves free food, free booze and decent accommodations.

How To Get Drunk With…

Getting sloshed is a big part of our society. It’s a rite of passage when you’re a teenager, and to be part of any old boy’s club, you’ve gotta down at least a little bit of scotch. I’m forever being invited out for drinks by friends, coworkers and family. And I wouldn’t want it any other way – it’s a great way to sit down and bond with people.

Live Like a Model

Just sit back and bask in the glamour of it all No offense, but you’re probably not model material—otherwise you’d be a model, wouldn’t you? If you’ve ever watched an episode of Top Model, 8th and Ocean, or even Project Runway, you know it’s not all pampering and primping and looking fierce.

Text with Class

It started with emails. It quickly snowballed into cell phones, Facebook, and instant messaging.

I mean, the worst that could happen to them is that someone broke up with them over the phone.

How To Buy Formal Wear

Every once in a while, we need to pull out all the stops and attend an event, whether it’s a wedding, fundraiser, or something work-related. While there are all kinds (black tie, formal, semi-formal, cocktail, etc), the only rule you really don’t want to break is showing up underdressed.
