Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is around the corner!  Decide to be positive and use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to have fun and possibly meet someone new.

MarriageMaterial.co is a dating site launched in early 2014 by female entrepreneur Dana Michel as an online solution exclusively for marriage-minded singles searching for true love as opposed to flings or casual hook-ups.

TOP TIPS FOR SINGLES TO STAYING SANE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

 # 1 Get a Wingman/Wingwoman

Get a friend to go out with you on Valentine’s Day. His/her job is to help you strike up conversations with interesting people. That person can be single or in a relationship; it doesn’t matter.

 ————————-

#2 Select an Ethnic Restaurant

Organize a Valentine’s dinner at an ethnic restaurant.  Authentic ethnic restaurants tend to have the least amount of Valentine’s Day decorations because the holiday does not exist in many places.  Ask each person to bring a single friend.

 ————————-

# 3 Be Open

Decide to talk to at least one new person a day between now and Valentine’s Day.   It can be as simple as making eye contact, smiling and saying “Hi, my name is Heidi”.  Don’t psyche yourself out!

 ————————-

#4 Attend a Valentine’s Day event just for singles

 There are a lot of events for singles right now. The objective is to mingle: make sure to look for events with themes that interest you, so that you can increase your chances of meeting a like-minded date.

 ————————-

#5 Love Yourself

You have two options – Go out or stay home. But being sad is out of the question. On the way home, stop by LeVadge Shop for a sex toy or two. Then, you should ready for a fabulous evening alone.

ABOUT DANA MICHEL:

Dana Michel, an Ivy League educated, single native New Yorker intends to change the dating landscape by offering marriage-minded singles, both straight and gay, a place to connect with others seeking a serious relationship. Michel states that the site implements a modern approach by ‘crowdsourcing’ love in much the same way as Facebook or Yelp. Her aim is to establish an online relationship community that reflects her life experience where people interact on a daily basis.

Michel’s “aha” moment occurred a year and a half ago when a friend told her that after a mere four dates, the guy she was seeing wanted to know if he was marriage material. He took their relationship seriously, and he didn’t want to waste his time if she felt differently. Boldly stated, Michel comments, “Why waste time? Men are very straightforward about what they are looking for. It’s seen as a positive; as being masculine. But when women do the same thing, they come across as shrews.”   With over a decade of digital experience, Dana Michel has worked in the advertising industry on premium accounts such as Pepsi, Cover Girl, Pantene and Viacom.

My Manetabolism Hair Review…

Hey Vadgesters! It may seem strange for me to be reviewing a hair product, but I truly like to promote elevated self-esteem. When you feel sexy, you look sexy and vice-versa, so working on self improvement is very important. I received a bottle of Manetabolism vitamins in exchange for my honest review – and here it is! My first three weeks so far have been interesting. Check out my new video for a full description.

What I experienced from using Manetabolism for three weeks:

• Stronger nails

• Faster growth in hair and nails

• Hair growth on my head

• Hair growth elsewhere…

• I have eyebrows now!

I didn’t mind the size of the pills, I have swallowed bigger with no problem. They went down smooth with a glass of water, and I continue to drink water throughout the day.

One thing I really like about Manetabolism is that the CEO uses her own products – and her hair is beautiful!

Next Up: The Ingredient List. What’s in it?

Have you tried Manetabolism before? Share your experience with me!

Ulysses Press was awesome enough to give me two copies of “Redeem for One Mediocre Shoulder Rub;” a cute, hand-made style coupon book for long-term couples. Anyone who has been with the same person for a few years knows how things are after a while. You get into your routines, have little quirks and pet peeves. This coupon book is perfect for you.

I have been leaving coupons in places for my husband to find for the past week. It’s fun to wait and see when I’ll get a coupon. The “One Free Chore” coupon is gonna be so clutch as I prepare to get back into graduate school and launch new changes in LeVadge Shop.

So far, I have managed to get full TV remote control and I’m hoping to see a few others show up around the house for me. I really want to sit back and sip a cold lemonade while watching him cook in an apron, lol. I’ll update you all on this as it happens…

Body Count: How Many Men is too Many to Sleep with?

As women we are often taught that our sexuality is something we lose. You lose your virginity; you lose your innocence and your purity. A woman’s sexuality and sexual behavior is often a taboo topic, however, I am a firm believer that your sexuality is not something you lose, but something you gain by owning it. Owning that you are a sexual-being and recognizing as well as accepting that you deserve to enjoy sex; as much as any man or anyone else in the world.

Now, lets talk about this magical number. In the pursuit of finding love or becoming comfortable in your own sexuality there will be some casualties.

So, how many men are too many?

My answer to this question is another question; how many men is too many men in your opinion?! The number of men you sleep with and being comfortable with that number is all a part of the process of owning your sexuality. So, before we go further into this discussion, let me first tell you that your number is nobody’s business. That is a number you can keep all to yourself. Some may say if you are truly comfortable with your sexuality you should not mind sharing your body count; however, your body count is like your salary. It is no one’s business how much you make if they are not paying your bills. It is no one’s business how many men you sleep or have slept with unless you are having sex with them. Even then, it is on a need to know bases.

So, while I can say there is no limit for how many men you can sleep with; I think it is important to look at the time frame you are sleeping with people and the reasons behind you sleeping with them. If you are sleeping with ten different men within a few weeks, I recommend that you take a moment and ask yourself, “What am I looking for by sleeping with so many different men? Is my quest for sexual pleasure interfering with other areas of my life?” Lets get real. We all only have 24 hours in a day. So, there is a line between keeping your feet wet and addiction.

Now, lets talk about the reasons behind you sleeping with someone. Many people will try to say that women are too emotional and cannot separate sex from the emotional aspects of the encounter. Now, I do not believe this to be true for every woman. Some women are very emotional, but others are not. However, if you are one of those emotional women looking for the one and are sleeping with everyone you meet, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

“Good sex” and “good p*ssy” will not keep a man! Read that line again. If you are trying to keep a man by putting it down – sex alone will not keep him. I have asked around to various men and they all agree, no it will not keep them in a relationship. They may return to have sex with you, but it will not make them want to be in a relationship with you; nor will it keep them in a relationship with you. Loneliness is not a state of being with someone else, instead it is a state of mind. You can be lonely in the wrong relationship. So before you go to bed with someone new ask yourself, “Why am I doing this? What am I expecting to gain from this experience?” and is whatever you are expecting, something you can gain by yourself?

The reasons behind why you are having sex with a person, I think is very important. It is especially important for women, who have survived sexual abuse or violence in the past. If you have been sexually abused, sexually assaulted and/or sexually mistreated, as an adult or young child, your views of sex and your sexuality has been violated and distorted by another person. It is highly recommended that you talk to a professional about these experiences; so you can work on how those experiences impact your life. It is not your fault and you are a survivor.

Overall, it is important to keep in mind that with every sexual encounter you put yourself at risk for a sexually transmitted disease. In fact, every time you sleep with someone you are also sleeping with everybody they had sex with. So it is vital that you use condoms and good judgment.

The topic of squirting has been flying around all my social media pages. On Facebook, we debate if it’s pee or not. On Instagram, guys profess their love for the art and on Twitter – it’s a free for all. Today, class – we’re going to do a little experiment. Can you actually squirt?

Before we start the lesson – understand one simple fact; not everyone can squirt. So far, the general consensus is that female ejaculate comes from the Skene’s gland, located near the urethra. Scientists are still trying to understand the phenomenon, and many say that the gland may not be located inside of every woman (similar to the g-spot).

But, is squirting pee?

The short answer is no. I’ll spare you the boring anatomy details, but to date, studies show that the Skene’s gland is located near the urethra. It appears to drain its fluids into the urethra – which is why some believe that what comes out is urine. If and when you get the pleasure of squirting, a simple sniff (or taste) test will reveal that it is in fact not pee.

So – how do I squirt?

Squirting is not a simple flick of a switch; there are techniques that need to be used for some women. One technique, which tends to be easiest, is done in the missionary position. This gives your partner leverage when trying to locate the g-spot, where stimulation often leads to ejaculation (cum). Let’s walk through a few steps, shall we?

1. Make sure your environment is clean.

There’s nothing more annoying than sleeping on the wet spot. Consider laying down an extra blanket or a towel before starting your experiment. Your partner’s nails should be clean and neatly manicured. I don’t have to tell you what can happen if they aren’t.

2. Use lots of lubrication.

Whether you make your own wetness or use your favorite brand, it is crucial to be very wet for this experiment. I always suggest good quality water based lubricant (unless bases are necessary). Foreplay is helpful for this part.

3. Lay on your back.

Have your partner gently place his/her hand on your lower abdomen, right above the vagina. Take the other hand, insert the index and middle finger. Make a slight hook shape with the two fingers. Tell your partner to:

· Feel for the g-spot (if applicable). It is a spongy, somewhat textured little knob inside the vaginal cavity. It may take some time to stimulate this area, take your time and enjoy yourself.

· Gently, rub the two fingers back and forth over the g-spot, gradually picking up speed and intensity.

· As speed and intensity increase, so should sensation. Keep going until orgasm is achieved.

· Note: At no point should this activity feel painful or uncomfortable. Stop and reposition if it does, and consider adding more lubrication.

Using this method appears to be the most effective in finding and stimulating the correct area, but can be done in other positions, too. Don’t be afraid to switch up and try something else.

Hey Vadgesters!  Today, I want to answer your questions about Apple Cider Vinegar. It has so many uses – who knew it could cleanse your vagina? Check out these tips, and an affiliate link to get your own ACV on Amazon.com. 

Not only does Apple Cider Vinegar help clear acne, de-grease your scalp and help you to lose weight – it can balance your pH in your vagina and entire system.

Here’s a great recipe I found via Bembu.com for a quick and easy ACV Cleanse:

• 2 glasses of water (15-30 oz.)
• 4 Tbsp. Bragg – Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother, the chunks of stuff floating in the jar)
• 4 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
• 4 Tbsp. honey (raw honey if possible)

Makes: 4-8 cups

Dissolve cinnamon, cayenne, honey, and lemon in hot water (stir well). Add apple cider vinegar to mixture. Consume right away for a hot tea, or cool and store in airtight jar for an iced detox beverage ready at any time. The beverage will be rather concentrated, so drink small cups or mix in water if it is too strong for your liking. Will last for up to a week in the refrigerator.

In my variation, I like to mix my detox drinks to meet the running around I’m always doing. I take 4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (any brand with the Mother) and add it to 16oz of water. After that, I put the fruit of choice for that week.

Fruit suggestions:

• Grapefruit

• Pineapple

• Strawberries

• Blueberries

• Oranges

• Lemon

Note: With any citrus or fruit with rind – please remember to take the skin off! That helps to eliminate the bitter bite that may come along with it.

I like to add ginger to mine for the anti-inflammatory benefits, but the possibilities are endless! Mixing Apple Cider Vinegar with fruit infused water combines the nutrient benefits of the ACV with those of the fresh fruit.

Now, it may seem silly to do all this (even though it only takes a few minutes to prepare) – so what are the benefits of the Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse? I’ll give you some of the ones that can affect your sex life:

• Balanced pH (reduces risks of UTI’s, Yeast Infections, Bacterial Vaginosis)
• Lightens the scent of sweat (including down there)
• Helps change the taste of ejaculation (cum)
• Clearer skin all over the body (helps with Acne, too)
• Aides in hair growth
• Much more

Overall, Apple Cider Vinegar helps to maintain the body’s good bacteria. When your good bacteria is up, it strengthens your immune system by making it more equipped to fight bad bacteria and infections. Adding it to your weekly regimen may give you the awesome sex (and sexy) that you’ve been looking for.

Hey Vadgesters!

It’s my last post of the year, and that means I’m re-capping some of the things we’ve learned before we ring in 2015. Feel free to add some more along the way – thank you so much for making this an amazing year!

1. Our Vagina, Our Rights – Right?

The government debated some hot topics in 2014 when it comes to Women’s rights. This included abortion, whether birth control will be covered by our employers and even who we can marry. No matter what side you’re on (or not on) politically, make it your duty to vote in 2015. The right we have earned helps dictate the rights we are provided – remember that.

——————————————————————————————

2. Your Favorite Rapper is Trifling.

If you listen close enough to the songs we jam to in the car – there’s some shady stuff going on. Take for example:

• Ty Dolla $ign – “Paranoid:” (“Two of my chicks in the club, and I know they know about each other…”) As fine as he may be, if you choose to share – be aware of your sexual surroundings. 
• Schoolboy Q – “Studio:” (“I can hit your type without the hat, put that p*%#y on the map…”) Hat = condom. Screening how you protect yourself based on a woman’s looks? If that doesn’t scare you – girl bye. 
• YG’s ex girlfriend/lover blasted him on Twitter this week for knowingly having herpes and not forewarning her. Whether this is verified or not – it’s definitely cause for alarm.
• The Eat a Booty Gang is spreading butt love across the nation, and rapper Kevin Gates says it cured him of Ebola. Know who you have going downtown on you ladies, because there may be a crew of them doing it to the neighborhood. 

What about the relationship issues our favorite celebrities had this year?

• Drake is the new “Mr. Steal Your Girl.” He’s been linked to so many women (some of which became famous because of it), I can’t even tag them all. Watch out for guys like him, ladies. Pretty sure he’s not just calling them over to cuddle.
• Karrueche + Breezy. Enough said.

 —————————————————————————–

3. Memes Will Make You Feel Like A Heaux

• First off, what is a meme?

   “Humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.” It comes from the “Greek mimēma ‘that which is imitated,’ on the pattern of gene (Google, 2014).”

  For example: This meme by Peniel Enchil is all over the innernets being slaughtered. The original is meant to be uplifting to women and encouraging to those leaving old habits behind in the new year.

  

  The modified versions, not so much…

  

  In an effort to save space and keep viewers interested, these photo/text blasts are often super generalized and stereotypical. Even more often, they are the opinions of anonymous individuals or fame whores looking for likes, follows and shares. Chances are, the creators of  these memes were hurt by an ex or rejected by a love interest.

  Don’t get caught up in this trend, take them for what they are and laugh or shake your head and keep scrolling.

  Even if you are a heaux, that is YOUR business. Own it, and do it safely. 

   

   
  Kimi’s Tip: Don’t be afraid to take an occasional social media break and link up with people in real life.

  ————————————————————

   

  4. Because Grapefruit.

  While many of us were fascinated by Sexologist Auntie Angel’s skills – it was the sound that got me the most. Women all over the country were running to their local Whole Foods Market to pick up the sweetest grapefruit they could find. Why, you ask? Just. Watch…

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaKLD3ugJYA

5. BDSM is Cool Now…

6. Sex Toys Come in All Different Shapes and Sizes

7. For The Last Time – Douching is Bad!!

8. Lubrication Makes Everything Better

9. Toys Are Not Just for Women.

10. Kegels Work!

Thank you so much for rocking with me – I hope it has been as awesome for you as it is for me. Please show love and sign up for my mailing list to stay up to date with all things sex and health. May 2015 bring you happiness, good health and prosperity!

 The 1o Relationship Myths: By Dr. John Demartini

We have all read about happily ever after and other misleading
fantasies in story books. Most people continue to buy into these
childhood ideas, even in adulthood.  However, believing in these
common myths will keep you from fully experiencing the riches that every relationship has to offer.

Here are the top ten relationship myths:

MYTH 1:  A New Relationship Will Make Me Happy

During the initial infatuation phase of a relationship, you see mostly the positive side
of the person.  There is a strong attraction, positive traits and
potential for lasting happiness.  However, that is just a delusion.
Regardless of how well a relationship begins, you will eventually
experience both sides of the person with as many challenges as
support. A relationship will not change this natural experience of human emotions.

MYTH 2:  When I Find My Soul Mate, I Will Feel Complete

Living as if your soul mate will complete you will only lead to heartbreak.  The
illusions that you project onto your soul mate will inevitably fall
apart when they sometimes behave in a manner that is not supporting
you. A soul mate can be one person or several people in your life that
fully compliment you and help you find your own wholeness.

MYTH 3:  The Right Relationship Will Last Forever

For every relationship beginning, there is another one ending.  So the idea of
forever is an unrealistic expectation. A relationship lasts as long as
both people communicate in each others highest values or priorities.

MYTH 4:  Once We Get Past These Rough Waters, It Will Be Smooth Sailing

Relationships are not static and no one remedy will eliminate
all your supposed troubles.  As I mentioned above, life involves a
balance of difficulty and ease; of liberty and constraint.

MYTH 5:  A Good Relationship Requires Sacrifice

Sacrifice tends to breed resentment.  Anytime you do something you do not want to do, or
see no benefit to yourself in doing it, then you will become
resentful.  This may happen immediately, or unconsciously. It is wiser
to master the art of communicating in each others values.

MYTH 6: Great Sex Happens Only at the Beginning of a Relationship

Both lust and intimate lovemaking can continue to grow and evolve
throughout a relationship as long as you understand and disable any
unrealistic expectations that might shut it down.  This includes the myths listed here.

MYTH 7: In the Right Relationship, I Will Not Have to Work at It

Many people hang on to the idea that being with someone should happen naturally.
However, a fulfilling relationship requires concentration,
organisation, effort and skill.

MYTH 8:  If I am Not Involved with Someone I Will Be Lonely

People can feel lonely in a crowded room.  Loneliness is a function of how you
perceive yourself relative to your environment.  You can sleep right
next to someone and yet feel a thousand miles distant or be a thousand
miles distant but feel as if they are close.

MYTH 9: Children Complete a Marriage

Children are unlikely to complete a union just as romantic partners

are unlikely to complete each other.

MYTH 10:  Opposites Attract

There is no true opposite only an apparent opposite.  Every human has
the same potential for love, anger, greatness, hope, despair etc.
What you see in a romantic partner is also present in you.  It is just
expressed in a different way.

How Much Time Should You Take Between Relationships – By E.B. Davis

“You need half the time you were in a relationship to bounce back from a relationship” – unknown

If this is true then if you were in a 10-year relationship, that means you would need 5 years to get over that relationship.  Wow, 5 years that could be a long time or too short of time to bounce back from a relationship, depending on who you ask.  At any rate, there is no real timeframe for how long a woman should take between relationships.  More importantly, there is no set timeframe for how long it will take you to get over a relationship.  Every relationship is unique and each person in the relationship is a unique individual.

With this in mind, it is important not to focus on the amount of time between relationships; yet, the quality of time between relationships.  After breaking-up it is normal for women to feel a little lost and a little uneasy about taking the journey of life alone.  However, being alone does not equal loneliness!  In fact, there is something to say about a person, who truly enjoys the company of their self.

I see women who go from one relationship to another.  You see them one day and the next day they have someone new.  They are living with each other and playing house.  Sometimes they even take it to the next level and get married and have children.  However, if you find yourself bouncing from one relationship to another, I suggest that you stop and ask yourself, “What is it that I am looking for? What am I hoping to get from this relationship? What is the purpose of me entering this relationship?”

A relationship cannot make you whole and it will not complete you.  A relationship can only bring out the best or the worst of the two people, who are in it.  It cannot magically change people.  More importantly, if you are doing more breaking up then being in a relationship I think you need to take a step back and look at the equation.  You are the only common denominator in each relationship.  So maybe these on and off again relationships are telling you something, which is you need to work on yourself.

Working on yourself means that you are gaining awareness, understanding and love for yourself, which is not dependent on you having a man in your life.  I suggest that you take time after every relationship to think about the lessons learned from the relationship, the mistakes you made in the relationship, what worked well in the relationship, and how you are going to utilize the lessons from your last relationship to make a better relationship with someone new.  This reflection process will not happen over night; instead it will require you to be honest with yourself about the nature of the events, which unfolded, and your role in those events.  It is hoped by taking the time to reflect that you become aware of your own issues.  So you will not unknowingly bring baggage into your new relationship.

Read “2014 – The Year of Self-Love”

The only way you are going to be able to figure out what you truly want from a relationship is by dating and not entering back into a serious relationship.  So date and explore life on your own.  Take a class, check something off your bucket list, spend time with your friends and family or even make new friends.  Men like women, who are individuals but at the same time can be in a relationship.  Get to know yourself, so that you are more than just a woman in a relationship.

On another note, I think it is important for women to examine, especially those who have children, the type of relationships they are entering into just to have someone around.  Relationships are often taken lightly in this modern age; however, people are not replaceable, just the roles they held in your life are replaceable.  So be mindful of the people and the types of relationships you are getting involved in, because children learn from their parents.  Taking a timeout to leave a position open is not a failure.  In fact, a timeout can show you how to better fill that position in the future.
