It's Okay Thursday




This is what Thursday's will be dedicated to; not being perfect!

* It's Okay that I have 2 days worth of DVR recordings and feel way behind on my shows!

* It's Okay to wear the same, neutral makeup look because I like to sleep an extra 30 minutes in the morning.

* It's okay that I only have one Christmas present bought and won't have most of my shopping done until Black Friday.

* It's okay to sometimes turn the cell off so people don't keep sending you texts and so you can have some peace and quiet!

* It's okay to have cheat days on your diet and eat whatever you want.

*It's okay that we've ate chicken for supper 2 nights in a row this week.

* It's okay to put off going to the doctor sometimes because you think you can treat your own problems sometimes.

* It's okay to be jealous of everyone around you having babies.

* It's okay to constantly debate on whether or not to cut your hair off because you're sick of it.

*It's okay to constantly be on the search for the holy grail of beauty products. I am wanting to buy a whole new hair care line :)

*It's okay to call your spouse by pet names more than you use their real name.

*It's okay to miss your sisters and want to spend a weekend with them.

*It's okay to stay in your p.j.'s all day on days off.

Tunes Tuesday!

To continue my daily blog themes (I know, I missed Monday, but will get it next week! :)). I am devoting Tuesdays to Tunes Tuesday. What is Tune Tuesdays you ask? I will be posting a favorite song, along with lyrics and what the song means to me. Sounds fun huh?

For today, the song is....

One and Only by Adele

You've been on my mind,
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time,
Just thinking of your face,
God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go,
You're the only one that I want,

I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forget your past and simply be mine,

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
Promise I'm worth it,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me the chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

If I've been on your mind,
You hang on every word I say,
Lose yourself in time,
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close,
And have you tell me whichever road I choose, you'll go?

I don't know why I'm scared,
'Cause I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forget your past and simply be mine,

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worth it, mmm,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me the chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worth it,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me the chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

Come on and give me the chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts.

First off, I ADORE Adele, that voice, she's absolutely gorgeous!!!! I think Adele may write songs based on my life, a lot of her lyrics are things I've experienced in my life. To me, this song is what I felt when Josh and I first started dating- both of us had just came out of terrible relationships and we both were scared to get serious. It took some faith and overcoming boundaries, and it was sooo worth it. I have the most amazing husband by my side and support me in everything I do.

Do you love Adele too?

Review: EdensFantasy Shots Toys- Vibrating Egg

Warning: This post is meant for mature, adult readers only. If you are easily offended by sex and sex bedroom accessories, now is the time to exit this post. We're all adults here (or if not, please exit this post and move along :)).

Anywho...
I recently had the opportunity to review another amazing product from EdensFantasy. The lovely Maria at EdensFantasy and offered a chance to review a product of my choice from their website, then write about my experiences. This time I decided to take a risk and try out a toy to enhance the play in the bedroom. I went with the Vibrating 10 Speed Remote Controlled Egg by Shots Toys. If you want more info, the link is here: Vibrating Egg

How Was the shipping/packaging?
As it was the last time I was sent a product to review, very professional and confidential! My item arrived in a regular, USPS Flat Rate box with no indication of what was inside; which I LOVED! All my packages arrive at my P.O. box so it was nice that the box appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary for me. The item was packaged very nicely and arrived in perfect shape. My item also arrived very quickly (I want to say 3 business days). The egg was wrapped nice and secure with lots of brown paper so it wouldn't slide around in the box during it's transit and risk being damaged. A+ all the way with fast shipping and the confidentiality!






What is The Vibrating 10- Speed Remote Controlled Egg by Shots Toys and what does it include?
The Vibrating 10- Speed Remote Controlled Egg is a small, plastic egg with a velvet coating that includes a remote control to offer partner play in the bedroom or anywhere you feel like playing. The egg can do 10 different speed variations, all controlled by the wireless remote. Here's what eden's fantasy has to say about it:

"The vibrating egg features ten unique functions, ranging from low to high and seven different patterns of pulses. This toy is pretty powerful, yet runs only on two AAA batteries (included). It's also compatible with any type of lubricant and is easily cleaned after use. Both the egg and the control are easy to use in one hand, leaving the other hand free for other parts of the body."



The egg comes in a box about the size of a desk calender and features the following items:
*Wireless Vibrating Egg- (available in your choice of colors, I picked pink :))
*Wireless Remote Controlled Keychain
*A Shot Toys products insert
*2 AA batteries




What did you think of the products?
I really loved this product. Well, we both loved it! Hubby liked to be the toy controller with the wireless remote and let me test on the product. We simply inserted the egg into undies like a bullet and let it do it's job, and trust me, it did a great job! Hubby started to then, get creative and walked through differnet parts of the house testing the wireless; and it still worked! It was a fun and easy alternative to the vibrator usually used in the bedroom. For such a small toy, it packs a strong punch!

Overall, would you buy this product? Would you buy it?
I think this product is a great toy for beginners who want to add toys to their bedroom routine, or for couples who like to get naughty in public. I would say, it may not be the best idea to do it in a quiet, public place- like a restaurant or movie theater- because the vibrations are/can get pretty loud. It retails for $19.99 and is a great deal. It would make a PERFECT holiday stocking stuffer or present too and would be loved by everyone. I would for sure buy it personally and recommend it to others. The one thing I think could be improved, is the remote. It took us a while to figure out which button was the on and which was the off and which button increased/changed the speed, and which slowed it down. Just simply having it labeled, would be great!

How was your experience with EdensFantasy?
Great! I love the professionalism of the company and the class of the website. I will definitely be order more things for the bedroom from this as well. The website is very user friendly and has something for everyone; no matter what you're looking for. Go and check it out, you won't be disappointed!!!! Go on over to:EdenFantasys
