History has shown us that severe weather often causes baby booms. I mean, inclement weather and two people cooped up in an enclosed space can inspire some questionable decisions. I love you guys, so I’ve prepared a list of things that should be in your cart, next to the carton of Parmalat.
**I’ve included some affiliate links to help your shopping list**

1. Condoms.
Do I really need to explain this? I will anyway. One of the best ways to prevent that ” I’m late” text after a storm is to wrap it up. Contraceptives are 99% effective in avoiding pregnancy and far more efficient than the ” pull- out” method.
Condoms also make for easier clean up after intercourse. There may not be running/ warm water for a ” warm rag” and shower, so make it as easy on yourself as possible.

2. Wipes
They’re for kids in more ways than one. Clean yourself and your partner up while you wait for power to be restored. It’s no substitute to an actual shower, but we’re making due in not-so-sexy scenarios.
Tip: Go for unscented wipes when possible, to avoid vaginal irritation. If you have time to ball out, order disposable washcloths and upgrade the hurricane kit.

3. Candles
Not just for romantic purposes, candles tend to be more practical than flashlights. Since we don’t want to be stumbling over each other in the dark, it would be nice to have some soft lighting placed around the room.
Any local botanica or multi purpose store should offer glass pillar candles (I call them “Money, House, Blessing” or santeria candles) for a few dollars each. Skip the fancy candles this go round.
Note: Candles should only be lit in the room you are in. Leaving them unattended is never a smart idea.

4. A Weekender Bag
Sometimes, you want to do it and dash, but storms don’t always offer that option. Hurricane Matthew sounds like the kind of guy who wants you to stay a night or two, so make sure you’re prepared. Pack a weekender bag with your favorite toiletries, comfy clothes and undies – just in case.
[divider]
5. Power Bank
Technology is important, especially during storms like Hurricane Matthew. Charge up your power bank (it only takes a few minutes) and slip it into your overnight bag or purse. It never hurts to have backup power to keep yourself (and your lover) safe.
Now, you’re covered! What other items would you put in your Hurricane Matthew kit?

When I see a box from Adam & Eve on my doorstep, I know it’s about to be on. This week, I opened up my box (pun intended) to find the “La-O” Vibrating Massager. If you’re not into manual play, leave the room immediately. Everyone else, come closer…
For all my master-baiters, this is the ultimate bedtime buddy. It’s super ergonomic, and perfect for people like me who battle with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I don’t have to arch my hand in weird ways to achieve pleasure, which gives me the chance to focus more on enjoyment.
The La-O includes two AAA batteries in the package, and still surprisingly packs some powerful vibrations. I can use this right next to my sleeping husband and never have to disturb him. Or, I can wake him up for a little midnight buzz.
La-O is great for couples, but it’s perfect for singles. It’s not geared specifically towards women, so I was able to think of a few ways a man could utilize it for personal pleasure. Pairing it with a masturbation sleeve is actually a great option, as the slim design could allow for insertion into a sleeve. With three speeds and two pulsations, I’m sure you can find a few ways to use this gem.
Man, I can get pretty creative when my endorphins are flowing.
Did I mention that it’s made with medical-grade silicone AND it’s pthalate-free?
Your body will thank you…

I honestly love this toy so much, I want to share it with you guys. Some lucky reader is going to enjoy the La-O in the privacy of their own home. Remember, entries are totally anonymous – so go ahead and get it!

We love summer as much as you do, but all this heat and moisture isn’t always peachy for your vagina. Everyone knows, if you’re vagina isn’t happy, nobody is!
I’ve teamed up with Monistat this week to talk about the top 6 tips for a happy vagina:
**Note: I’ve also included affiliate links for your convenience**
1) Go Commando:
That’s right – take those panties off and let your vagina breathe! It needs fresh air just like the rest of us, so go bare and let your vagina “air out.”
2) Lace Your Vadge in Cotton:
Okay, you may not want to go commando all summer long so if you’re gonna wear panties, make sure they’re 100% cotton – cotton helps absorb moisture and keeps things dry down there. This is especially important in hot weather when sweat follows us everywhere.
3) Say No to Scented Soaps:
We all love a good summer-scented soap but they’re full of chemicals and perfume that can be drying and harsh on skin. Your vagina is a sensitive flower so there’s no need to use anything to make it smell like one!
Plus, our vaginas are self-cleaning so all you need is some warm water and unscented products, if you must. This is one of the best ways to avoid irritation and stay yeast-free.
4) Use Condoms:
Not only do condoms protect against STDs and unwanted pregnancy but they also help keep your vagina’s pH level in check so all of those good bacteria can live comfortably and do their jobs fighting off UTIs and yeast infections.
5) Remove Wet Bathing Suits:
Wearing a wet suit leaves residue of pool chemicals and bacteria from oceans and lakes, not to mention the moisture and heat that’s a breeding ground for yeast infections.
If you’re not drying off quickly from the sun, make sure you change into dry underwear or new bathing suit immediately.
6) Pay Attention To Your Vagina:
Yes, your vagina needs lots of TLC. And if something doesn’t feel right, address is quickly – don’t wait. Summer’s a big season for yeast infections, which you can easily treat with Monistat (it’s Over The Counter, so you can find it at any drug store).
If you’re unsure, you may need to see your doctor to check out what else is going on “down south.”
Monistat offers a lineup of products geared towards keeping the vagina happy and yeast-free. Check out some of their products below; and please consult with your doctor if you’re experiencing vaginal discomfort.

Inspired by Teyana Taylor’s hypnotizing feature in Kanye West’s “Fade” video, I want to chat with you about leveling up your sexy. Whether you’re single, taken, divorced or on the prowl – everyone deserves to feel their best. Here are 5 easy ways to do it now.
**Note: I’ve included a few affiliate links to help with your sexy experience **
1. Get Glammed.
[divider]
Even if you’re like me and aren’t into makeup, it’s undeniable that a “beat face” draws enamored gazes. Head to your local mall makeup counter (or call your favorite MUA) and let them have their way with you. Whether you’re in sweats or a dress, enjoy the stolen glances as you walk throughout the day. Feels nice, right?
PS – wash your face before you go.
Not a mall kind of girl? We got you covered with these awesome beauty bloggers:
This tip is often underrated when it comes to ways you can help yourself get sexier. The power of feeling intimate when no one can see is amazing and deserves our attention. Pull on a sexy bra while running out for coffee, wear garters under your office skirt or add some lacey panties with your favorite pair of jeans. Watching Teyana dance in those workout undies definitely can inspire sensuality. You deserve to feel delicate and strong simultaneously.

3. Try a pole dancing class.
Pole dancing may still be taboo, but it’s a great way to get sexier now. Not only does it provide a comfortable atmosphere to express your sexy self – it’s an actual workout! Enjoy the strengthening of your core while bringing out the inner vixen you know is hiding inside.
If you’re more of the private type, get your own pole and host a pole party at home.

4. Watch some sexy videos.
via ksfm.cbslocal.com
No, you don’t have to watch porn to enjoy sexy videos (but, you totally can). Watching a little (or a lot of) gyrating can help stimulate arousal in the mind. Not only can it help you get in the mood, you may find some empowerment in the strength of a fellow sexy woman.
Exercise releases endorphins – hormones that make your brain and body feel good. Taking a quick jog or brisk walk can help you work up a sweat and the urge to work up another sweat. Even if you’re not in the mood for sex, burning calories is always a good feel-good method. Losing bloat from water retention is a quick way to get sexier now, and you can do it almost any time of the day.
How Misogyny Can Get You Killed (No Matter Who You Are)
Honestly, I had a whole different post set up for today. It was all about feeling sexy and self-care. This weekend’s events and the death of Tiarah Poyau have completely changed my tune. I read her story over and over and realized I could have been her at multiple points in my life. I suppose this musing is about self-care in a way, because there’s a very strong lesson for us women and men to learn about Misogyny.
Misogyny (mi·sog·y·ny)- dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
As everyone knows, I’m a born and raised New Yorker. I spent my high school summers in the streets of NYC and gathered my homegirls annually to attend the Labor Day festivities on Eastern Parkway. We’d plan our outfits the week before, and I’d usually have a Dominican or Jamaican flag donned up into some sort of shirt contraption. My mother would always tell us to be safe and aware while on the road. At that age, I didn’t even consider predators or creeps being there – I just wanted to have a good time with my friends.
Beyond the occasional cat call, I can’t say I had any wild experiences out there. We were warned to stay away from the shadowed areas of the parkway, despite the fact that a group of us were walking in broad daylight. Deviants didn’t care about sunshine, all they needed was the cloak of shade. Nevertheless, I survived Eastern Parkway unscathed, and had a great time dancing and eating and singing with the masses.
Fast forward to 2005, and I migrated from the “Mother Country” of New York to Sunny South Florida. I landed a job at a swanky retail spot that was always teeming with creepy men (and sometimes women). I’d get approached almost daily by a wealthy regular or two who wanted to proposition their role as my sugar daddy. Each day was sprinkled with “I can take you outta here,” or “what if your tuition was paid in full this semester?” I’d laugh it off and politely decline. Even though I carried weaponry for the late night walks to my car (I’m still a New Yorker, after all), I still felt relatively safe.
It wasn’t until a year later, when this old man made a quiet advance at me that I started to feel concerned. I declined politely, reminded him that I was at work. He then began creeping through the aisles, watching me through the shelving spaces. This happened so frequently, I had to tell my manager. Immediately after the first instance, I drove to the local flea market and bought myself a taser. Violating store policy and all, I kept that thing in my apron every day. That same taser nearly saved my life one night, as a man tried to “holla” at me through my car window. When I declined, he asked for money, when I declined that – he stuck his body through my window. I set my taser to “stun,” and he scurried off into the shadows like vermin. Lord knows what he was about to try and do.
I tried venturing into Miami’s scene for Labor Day festivities, feeling like I’d try something new with my friends. Similar to New York, men and women flood the streets for music, dancing and drinking. While walking to my car to head home, we stepped through a mixed crowd of men. I felt a firm hand jam itself between my legs and squeeze my crotch. I yanked the arm as hard as I could, and the male it was attached to growled with anger. Instead of saying anything to me, he smelled his hand, smiled and kept walking.
Disgusting.
Stay away from the shadows…
Another story – fast forward a few more years, I’m out with my family for a cousin’s birthday celebration. We picked a night club that appealed to an older crowd, in hopes of having a mature time. We were almost in the clear, until an older male approached my cousin to dance. She ignored him and kept dancing with our group. He returned and made another attempt, then a third. After the fourth time, I intervened and politely stepped in between them. I’ve dealt with drunk men before and figured this would be easy. I smiled, put my hands on the probably drunk male and shook my head to indicate that she wasn’t interested. He forcefully grabbed my wrist, and I pulled it away with equal force. Do you know what he did next?
He struck me in my face.
What. The. F*ck.
The rage that consumed me was immeasurable. I came back with the strongest uppercut I could muster, and hit him with all my might. A scuffle ensued (yes, he continued to fight me), and the police ultimately escorted him out of the venue. They were nice enough to allow me to put on my shoes (I was really going in) – and even gave me the option to stay. The night was ruined, so we decided to go home – but not before I got one last hit in. He deserved it. The officers agreed.
Misogyny (and rape culture) is a thing. It’s a thing because society has grown a callous over its feelings towards women. Furthermore, women of color are barely a microcosm in this testosterone-addled universe. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” hidden_hashtags=”#Misogyny #SayHerName”] We’re degraded at home, abused in the streets and mistreated in the workplace.[/tweetthis] How discouraging are the feelings of danger that young women experience when they merely want to enjoy themselves? When they merely want to exist? Since when is it acceptable to violate anyone’s personal space, much less a woman you don’t know? I felt disgusted and disgusting in each of these instances, and there are countless more that I won’t bore you with. At any given time, one of these men could have pulled out a gun and killed me – all because I wasn’t interested.
Seems like there’s something about rejection (no matter how gentle or polite) that can trigger violent anger in the weakest of the male species. The deflation of their ego in front of peers is something that some males just cannot accept. It’s pitifully sad to witness in person, and disgusting to see via social media. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” remove_url=”true”]Memes and Worldstar have fueled fires of hate in the hearts of those who pine for bad bitches and long to be loved.[/tweetthis] All the while, males all over the world are realizing they’re doomed to be without both. This is a constant psychological battle for some, one that I don’t have time to become a punching bag or target for.
I’ve had times where I thought to myself, “self – what is the right way to decline?” How do we peacefully and amicably agree to disagree about a person’s decision to want us? Do we need hostage negotiators each time we want to say no to someone?
No.
Maybe it’s time for us to fix this misogyny bull. For friends to stop their “friends” from hassling women as they mind their business. Time for fathers to teach their sons that women aren’t just commodities to acquire like Monopoly game pieces. Mothers need to instill self-worth and confidence in their sons – so that our daughters can coexist with them. I left out the ethnicities of the men in my stories, because it doesn’t matter who you are. Whether you’re Black, Latino, White, Asian or anyone in between – you can learn how to respect the humans that inhabit the earth with you.
In conclusion, as a rape survivor, I shouldn’t have to worry about being attacked again when I walk the streets. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” hidden_hashtags=”#Misogyny #SayHerName”]Men shouldn’t be the things of nightmares when describing them to our daughters.[/tweetthis] [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” remove_url=”true”]Every male has at least one female loved one. Think about her the next time you decide to be a creep.[/tweetthis]
I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do to take my stand against this ridiculous trend – but I’ll be racking my brain until I do. Come join me at kimi@vforvadge.com
Sexual and physical wellness go hand in hand, right? It’s no wonder that many people feel their sex lives take a hit when they’ve been eating poorly and skipping exercise. The body requires proper nutrients and a good metabolism to work at full potential, and your sex organs are included. It’s not always easy to maintain a perfect dietary or fitness regimen, but what if there were a way to kick it back into gear?
Unboxing the 5 Day Fast Diet
I have had the chance to try Weight Loss Buddy’s “5 Day Fast Diet” this week, and it was surprisingly not torture. The diet tricks your body into fasting through small snacks and metabolism – boosting drinks.
**Note: I was not paid for this review, but I did receive the 5 Day Fast Diet kit in exchange for my honest feedback. I’m never scared to give that to you. **
About the 5 Day Fast Diet (via the5dayfastdiet.com):
“The 5-Day FAST Diet is a pre- measured, pre-calculated 5-day eating plan delivered to your door. You don’t have to make long term plans for what days you want to be on or off, you don’t have to bring out a scale to measure portions, you don’t even have to count calories by reading the backs of food boxes. Delicious food and teas are supplied in sealed packages, one for each day.”‘
On Day 1, I was a bit nervous because I’ve fasted before. The relief was that I actually got to eat this time around. It was awesome to be able to have a small snack and drink as much tea as I wanted.
Skinny Pop – yum.
Coupling the fast diet with exercise, I felt more energized in more aspects than one. It was great to make it through the entire work day without the afternoon slump.
After the 5th day, I had lost about 6 pounds. I felt lighter, and my stomach was flatter than when I started. The key with this diet is to stay hydrated, so the teas that were included came in very handy. Overall, I’d do it again, and I’m looking forward to this month’s 5 Day Fast Diet.

Summer is in full effect, and many of us are out on vacations, staycations or in our home pools. If you’re like any of the millions who shave their bikini line, you know the dread that can come with it. Razor bumps, irritation, hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) – who really has time for that?
I honestly prefer to wax, but when I’m short on time – I am not afraid to shave. I’ve mastered this art at home, and have built my own strategy through trial and error that has yet to fail me. I love giving away life hacks, so I’m ready to share it with you. Here are a few tips to keep your summer bikini line sexy…
– Cleanse.
No one should EVER shave dirty skin. Not only does it dull and dirty your blade/shaver, but it leaves your skin vulnerable to infection. Considering that the bikini line leads to one of our most precious organs – I think we should be taking special care. Not only should you clean your shaver with rubbing alcohol or Barbicide, you should clean yourself.
The Nectar cleanser is all natural and contains the anti-bacterial properties of raw honey. Not only does this help soothe your skin, but it helps avoid infection, should you accidentally nick yourself. Ancient clay absorbs oils and sweat, while castile soap and essential oils gently clean the skin.
Now that your special place is feeling squeaky clean, time to get started.
– Shave.
Make sure that your razor or shaver is clean before every use. I really enjoy using my Norelco shaver, because it gets really close without ever cutting the skin. When I say close, I mean labia close.
Philips Norelco Multigroom
I’m not an expert with the shape game, but I like to leave a little strip at the top. Do what you wish at this point.
– Exfoliate.
This part is important, because shaving doesn’t remove hair from the follicles. If you miss a hair or two, you’re at risk for ingrown hairs and irritation. Exfoliating works those potential missed hairs out of the skin, and allows the hairs to lay on top of the skin instead.

Try a gentle exfoliant, like our Honey Love masque. Not only does it exfoliate using sugars and spices, the raw honey is antibacterial. Perfect for after shave care. Rinse in the shower and pat dry.
–Soothe.
There are few things worse than an itchy, irritated crotch area. When the genital region is irritated, it stops being a vagina and starts being a crotch. Just, crude and unhappy. Using a soothing serum after shaving or waxing gives your body time to re-grow hair without agitating your entire bikini line and sex life.
The PrivateRx Soothing Serum is an intense super-moisturizing aftercare product to help prevent ingrown hair and irritation caused by shaving or waxing. Couple this with their Cooling Wipes, and you’ve got a cool breeze down there. I especially enjoy going commando after using this duo – it’s a real summer treat.

If you follow these simple tips, your bikini line is gonna be its sexiest yet, all summer 16…
If you’re looking for a “Baecation” beach getaway that won’t break the bank, San Juan Puerto Rico is the place for you. It’s absolutely one of my favorite “countries” to visit, and I’m honored to share it with you.
Open scene: A warm, soothing breeze flows over your skin. You turn your face towards the sun and feel the kiss of its rays on your cheek. Open your eyes, and beautiful waves splash at your feet. No, this is not a dream – this is San Juan.
The island is just overflowing with beautiful landscape and sea breeze. This trip, we stayed in Condado, walking distance from San Juan’s popular beaches…

We visit at the same time every year, during the “Noche de San Juan” festivities. The holiday is of religious origin, but has since become a Pride weekend of sorts. People from all over the island and the world come together to dance, swim and enjoy good company. It’s a great vibe, and a wonderful trip for a couple looking to enjoy island travel without a passport.
That’s right – no passport is needed for Puerto Rico!

Visiting (Castillo San Felipe) del Morro is such a necessary part of going to San Juan. Not only is it a beautiful sight, but it’s super affordable. You can check out the rates here, but I must warn you – it’s ridiculously inexpensive.

Most of San Juan is walk-able, so it’s a great place to explore with your significant other, or even your family. San Juan, Puerto Rico is definitely a Caribbean gem that seems to go unnoticed as a US territory.

When I say inexpensive travel – I mean it!
Everyone deserves to take a vacation once in a while, no matter your budget. Puerto Rico is one of the most ideal locations that I’ve encountered in my travels. So, what are you waiting for?
It is a strange but real truth about men that, from the peak period of sexuality until your genitals are laid to rest with your other organs at life’s end, they undergo no visual change. While your other organs degenerate—skin wrinkles, waistline expands, hair grays—your sexual organ undergoes virtually no change in size or appearance as you age.
What does change is how this body part behaves—erections are more difficult to achieve, ejaculation is less explosive, and more recovery time is needed between sexual encounters. These changes do not mean a man must stop enjoying sex; rather, understanding these changes can help a man maintain sexual longevity for a lifetime.
Older men first notice that it takes longer to get an erection. This begins to happen to men in their twenties, but so gradually that most men don’t notice until they approach middle age. Much depends on the kinds of relationships they have and the frequency of sexual activity. Once your testosterone levels diminish with age, fantasies are no longer enough; the mere sight of a sexy body or heated foreplay might not do it. Many older men can only get an erection from the vacuum effect of oral sex and the psychological aspects associated with that sexual act.
You might also notice that sometimes your erections as you age are only half-hard or semi-rigid until added stimulation hopefully brings them to full strength. This, too, is normal, but men often panic, recalling the days when they spent half their time concealing their erections.
The same is true of the refractory period. The amount of time it takes to recover after an ejaculation increases and the volume of the ejaculate decreases in proportion to a man’s age. When a man reaches his fifties and sixties, the refractory period might be as long as twenty-four hours, even with direct stimulation. At eighty, it might be one week.
Men also notice that the ejaculation itself feels less and less explosive as they age; the semen leaks out rather than being forcefully expelled. Orgasms might feel less intense. All this is a normal part of the aging process. The good news is that with age comes increased experience, wisdom, and seasoning, which should be a boon to your sex life.
As you age, not only do you naturally acquire greater ejaculatory control, but also you should have learned a great deal about pleasing a partner in general, and your partner in particular. You should have learned tricks for arousing and satisfying the person with whom you share your bed.
As you reach your sixties and seventies, you may have to adjust your style of lovemaking. You might have more control over when you ejaculate, but your arms might not be strong enough to support you for as long as they used to do. The muscles in your back and legs might tire quickly, and your joints and ligaments might not be as flexible. This may mean you have to rest or change positions more often. You might have to try different positions. And you’ll want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, making it a priority to have a healthy diet and a vigorous exercise regimen.
Another truth about men that should be viewed as a bonus: it takes longer to reach orgasm. If your partner is a woman, she may get more pleasure as a result of this change because bringing a woman to orgasm is usually easier with prolonged intercourse, and the more satisfied your partner is, the more aroused you will be.
As you age, your body may not be as flexible, your sex drive may diminish, and your erections may not be as firm, but you can use your wisdom and sexual insight to your advantage. You and your partner can enjoy the extra foreplay required to get you ready. Focus your attention on getting the absolute most out of the intercourse you can handle.
Do not be let down if your ejaculations are not as volcanic as they once were—you can still enjoy the pleasure of orgasm well into old age.
