Aloe Cadabra

I was sent this wonderful product called Aloe Cadabra. Aloe is everywhere, from lipstick to lotions. Bet you never thought you'd be able to get this personal with it. Anytime you get a personal lubricant, you feel it between your fingers to see how smooth it is. Or at least I do. This is a really smooth feeling lubricant. Since it is aloe you dont have to worry about irritation because the ingredients are natural (photo below). With a lot of personal lubrications you find yourself becoming dry during sex and that makes for an very uncomfortable experience. And even with silicone, while it does stay wet, it is not a natural product. With Aloe Cadabra, this is not something you need to worry about. I am very happy I was sent this product as was my hubby. You feel comfortable, and sexual. Things move like they are suppose too and that's ALWAYS a good thing.

This product will give you a new way to look at sex. If you thought you would always have dryness or never be able to enjoy sex, this is the product for you.  I really do recommend Aloe Cadabra. The retail on Aloe Cadabra is only $9.95 and comes in Lavender, Natural Aloe and Tahitian Vanilla. $10 for a sex life changing experience is well worth it and you will be ordering more and recommending it to your friends.

Look, I know you have probably tried everthing known to man. But believe me when I tell you, you havent tried this. You dont have to take my word for it, visit Aloe Cadabra's website and click on My Magic Moment to read testimonials from other satisfied customers.

Glamour: Olivia Wilder

You know her as "13" from Fox's hit show "House", but Olivia Wilde is gearing up for a wonderful summer. Two new movies about to drop, her divorce behind her, things are about to get wild. Olivia graces Glamour's June cover wearing an Enza Costa navy and white striped tee over a Eres Paris red bikini, a gold link Cartier bracelet and Barbara D'Oro bangle.

Inside the issue, Olivia is shown in a MK red gown and a Charlotte Bjorlin Delia gold and silver cuff. She is also wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs red and white striped bikini under a white Dior peacoat and a nautical themed dress by Junya Watanaber Comme des Garcons. This issue is now available on stands and will be available digitally(iPad and B&N Nook Color) on May 16.


Olivia Wilde on what she learned from her mother...
“She’s gorgeous, and she taught me that a real feminist doesn’t apologize for her beauty. You can be a sexy, beautiful woman and be the smartest person in the room.”

Olivia Wilde on growing up around movie stars...
“I remember Mick Jagger [talking] politics with my parents.... At 13 I came to L.A. for a press junket, and it was this magical land of palm trees and George Clooney. But [then] I saw George talking to my dad about politics, and I thought what makes these people special is that they’re not just actors…. I saw people being valued for their intelligence and their interests as opposed to their stardom. It was instilled in us that stardom is meaningless.”

Olivia Wilde on her relationship with ex-husband Tao Ruspoli...
“The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily—that’s the tragedy.”

“We got engaged at Burning Man and married on a school bus. We were not conventional.”

Olivia Wilde on dating again...
“I’m opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It’s funny—my friends would always come to me for romantic advice, [but] I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I’m really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.”
“I wish I could play the field. But it’s so not me. I go 100 percent into everything. And I’m a really good girlfriend.”

Victory Is Ours

So we were @ Wal-Mart last night picking up a friend from work when I happen to walk by Woodforest Bank and noticed the headlines read Usama (Osama) Bin Laden was DEAD! What! Victory is ours! How great is this for the United States of America. How great is it for the families of 9/11. I think major props need to go out to the Navy Seals for carrying out the mission and also to our leader President Barack Obama. I know that the capture and killing of Bin Laden puts the US on high alert, but it does give us hope that maybe troops will come home and gas prices will go down. We shall see.

Love Nails

I am off today from work, not feeling to well, so I have decided to do a swatch. I am doing a blog sale and I am going through my polishes to see which ones I want to do without. The color is by Sinful Colors it is called Love Nails. The color attracted me because I love shimmers and metallics and glitter polishes. This polish is a blue, my husband thinks teal. I dont like it. I think it looks Avitar. I used three coats, it is so sheer. I am putting this one up in the blog sale. Here are the photos.

I used my webcam camera. It takes better pics then my BB. Sinful Colors are available at Walgreens, they cost about $1.99 here where I live. Again, I don't like it as much as I thought I would.
