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…

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.

Many men and women are on the constant quest for natural remedies for low libido (sex drive), and the name “Peanut Punch” rings bells for lots of people. It is a very popular sexual energy remedy in the Caribbean, where every island puts their special twist on the blend.  Today I decided to put my own spin on the recipe to add a healthy kick for anyone trying to rev it up in the bedroom.

** Note: This post includes affiliate links to help you with the ingredient list – thank me later! **

Check out an Original  Jamaican Peanut Punch Recipe

Unlike the original recipe, I have added a few other elements to this Peanut Punch Mix:

Strawberries: 

• Known in provincial France as an aphrodisiac.
• Increases good cholesterol (HDL)
• Lower’s blood pressure (makes better blood flow to genitals)
• Among the top 20 antioxidant fruits
• Rich in manganese and potassium
• Packed with Vitamin C (more than an orange!)

Note: The chocolate swirl on top of my frozen strawberries is actually cocoa powder and avocado puree. Avocado also lowers blood pressure…

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder:

• Contains phenethylamine  (known as a mood elevator and antidepressant)
• May boost serotonin

Hemp Protein Powder:

• Anti-Fatigue Properties

• Ground Flaxseed

• Reduces hypertension = stronger erections
• Lowers Cholesterol
• Fights Prostate Cancer
• Read more about Flaxseed here.

• 
  

  Of Course, Peanuts

• Helps clear arteries = better blood flow to genitals

It tastes best if the strawberries are frozen when you blend the mixture, it gives off the vibe of a smoothie. You can also leave out the fruit and get straight to the main ingredients. If you’re going for the “Ital” or  vegan option, I suggest unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk to give you the smooth consistency. I’m actually tempted to go make one right now before my husband gets home from work…

Note: Kimi LeVadge is not responsible for the pregnancies that may result as a consequence of drinking Peanut Punch.

#KeepYourSelfTidy

Interview with Dirty Panty Pocket’s Owner – Latisha Gallagher:

What inspired You to Start DPP?

As mentioned in my letter, it was an inside joke about where I put my panties. I was a european runway model, nyc it girl, all around globe trotting gal about town. So…it’s safe to say i can live out of my purse for a month. Ha! i food that there are compartments for everything BUT the morning after. And I always had a dirty panty pocket section in my purse or jacket or whathaveyou. It dawned on me that this might help out other ladyfriends too!

Tell Us the DPP Story:

 It involves a certain ginger haired gentleman, a restaurant bathroom, and a very long taxi ride to somewhere in Long Island, and a private jet to vegas. But I was prepared! And that’s all I’m  saying about that. 🙂

Why is sex ed important?

So people know what they’re doing, duh. That pertains to all areas! Many a life has taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque due to unawareness.

What are your goals for DPP:

I want DPP to be more than just a handbag company. It will be a lifestyle. I have a bag for every possible eventuality. Going out tonight hosting you own version of America’s Got Talent? The Dirty Stay Out clutch. Stuck in an airport? The Passport Pocket zippered clutch. You know that brunch is going to be the usual all day affair? The #daydrunk Bag – it can fit a 6 pack of beers. Met a sexy man last night an now you’re on his plane? The Lost Weekend. Each and every one will have everything you need from toothbrush to linger to snacks to liquor to beachwear, clothing for the stride o’pride, sunglasses and shoes! I’m even devising one for music festivals. That is definitely a place you want to #keepyourselftidy. Dirty Panty Pocket is truly for the lady who is unapologetic about being a woman. The kind of gal that wears her Broad badge with pride. Dirty Panty Pocket will truly be the California Closets of Debauchery.

The Weeknd Thursday – Are You His Thursday Girl?

In this podcast, we’re chatting quickly about The Weeknd’s super popular underground song “Thursday,” and the meaning behind being that girl. If you’ve been side-eyeing your lover lately, this post is for you…

My Thursday Girl Story…

I was on the rebound. My ex and I had broken up for the last damn time, and I had been experiencing a serious dry spell. When you’re a hopeless romantic like me, there’s only so long you can usually go before the loneliness sets in. I tried dating guys that approached me on the street or at the mall, and failed miserably. When you spend most of your life being someone’s girlfriend, you kind of forget how to date and be single. It was a sad sight to see.

This guy was a mutual friend of one of my good friends, and seemed like a good guy. He lived out of town, but I’m no stranger to long distance relationships (my ex lived in New York). We’d Skype, text, and chat on the phone – but he couldn’t talk much because he was working a lot. Or so I thought.

When I’d go OT to see him, I’d always get put up in a nice hotel room because he was going to be at work and I could utilize the gym and other amenities without needing a car to get me around. Once again, so I thought. We did this for a while, and finally he told me that he had a girlfriend. A live-in girlfriend.

Go figure. 

Now, things came into perspective. I thought that we could only see each other on certain days because of his days off – but it was because of her days off. I felt like an idiot for months when I realize how I got suckered into being a side piece. Then, I resolved to stop dating for a while and spend time focusing on myself.

The moral of this story is – pay attention. When you realize that you’re not getting the attention you deserve – it’s time to pack up and move the show on the road. Of course, you give benefit of the doubt and discuss the issue with this potential beau before ending things. However, if you are feeling misled – chances are you are being misled. It is easy to ignore the telltale signs until you’re caught up in a situationship and don’t know how to get out. Or – you can be wise and get out before titles get thrown around.

Now, I’m no relationship coach – but the likelihood of contracting a sexually transmitted disease increases with the amount of partners you are sharing with this individual. Unprotected sex is a surefire way to catch an STD, and condoms don’t protect from every single communicable disease. Being with someone who wants to be with you exclusively can minimize your risk of infection – even if there’s no boyfriend or girlfriend title.

We have to protect ourselves – I hope my story can be of assistance to you. Today’s a perfect day to make sure your next Thursday is better.

Be safe. Be smart.
