Filed Under Blog, Life | 1 Comment
I don’t know what it is about these little chocolates, but I can’t stop eating them. There is something very satisfying in them. Maybe it’s the Chinese herbs that are meant to passionately arouse you or maybe it’s that chocolate releases the same chemical in your body that intense pleasure does.
Whatever the reason, these little goodies are the result of the women at Flurtz Chocolate wanting to find the most powerful way to experience a whole new level of arousal and pleasure for themselves and women everywhere. The combination of herbs used in these chocolate sensations can create the ability to generate a higher level of blood flow to the pelvis area and create a warming sensation that can intensify your sexual pleasure.
Curious, aren’t you? These tasty treats are dark chocolate, but they have a slightly sweeter taste than bitter dark chocolate and taste great when nibbled and sipped with your favorite Pinot Noir.
To see if this treat tantalizes your fancy, create an intimate evening with your romantic partner…taste two chocolates with your favorite red wine…wait one hour…and find out what its like to have your inner flirt released.

Stress: It’s Impact and Creating a Stress Free Environment
Filed Under Blog, Health, Life, Well Being | 2 Comments
Are you stressed? We live such hectic lives today, especially as women, we expect ourselves to have a high powered career, raise a family, be well educated, nurture our relationships, and keep our skin and bodies looking fit and beautiful. No wonder we can get stressed during the normal course of a day! Being stressed can actually become a habit and thereby be something you start to do without even noticing it. Ever ask yourself, why are my neck muscles so tight? Why am I exhausted? Stress effects us in many ways, it doesn’t only affect our muscles and mood, it actually affects how we eat and how our bodies heal.
When you are stressed there is a hormone called “cortisol” that is released in your body. Cortisol impacts your body in two main ways: first it prevents your skin from healing quickly by preventing cytokines, chemicals that bring white blood cells to a wound to help it heal, from doing their job. In addition to this cortisol also triggers cravings for high-fat and high-calorie foods, which if you’ve ever experienced wanting to eat a lot when you’re stressed, now you know why. Being stressed can also cause your heart rate to variate causing you to not be able to sleep deeply at night. No wonder you’re exhausted when you’re stressed!
Well, just as easily as you can make a habit of being stressed you can also make a habit of building a life that nurtures and relaxes you. It is important to surround yourself with things that remind you to relax, this reinforces the habit of relaxing rather than the habit of stressing. One way of doing this is by using scents as a type of aromatherapy treatment. When you are at home you can light candles with relaxing beautiful smells that remind you of things or places you love. At the office use an electric diffuser, these wonderful little gadgets just plug into the wall and disperse you favorite oil into the air around you. The Body Shop has an excellent selection of diffusers, they even have one for your car! When using aromatherapy scents that are very relaxing and stress relieving are lavender, jasmine, rose, and chamomile. But you don’t just have to use those, pick a scent that you love, maybe something that reminds you of your favorite vacation spot or your favorite flower.
When buying candles make sure that you buy candles that are made from high quality soy wax and high quality essential oils, remember, you breath in whatever you put in the air. Pacifica has an extensive and wonderful selection of soy candles made with high quality essentail oils.
Other stress relieving activities your can add into your life are practicing yoga, go to a spa or create your own, and eating foods high in antioxidants like white and green tea and fruits and vegetables that have a high color content, red and yellow peppers are a great choice!
The most effective stress relieving activity is actually all up to you, when you’re upset about something get in communication with someone about it. If you’re angry try giving up being angry, choose how you want your day to go and then if it starts to go a different way just stop, take a deep breath and realize that it’s just life. Right now you have one life that you are living, do you really want to spend it stressed over the little things? Or would you rather enjoy your life and spend it doing the things you love and with the people you care the most about?
Relax, chill! and enjoy the ride! For more about how stress affects you and stress relieving tips visit Skyn Iceland’s Solutions For Stressed Skin Center. They even have a test section to help you determine if you’re stressed and what might be stressing you out.

Beauty In Genius Form
Filed Under Blog, Life | Leave a Comment
I was scanning the beauty blogs today and, while on Jack & Hill, I ran across a quote by one of my favorite authors, Oscar Wilde. Being that it so pertains to this site and, in more ways than one, incorporates who we are as women on the whole - I thought I would share it with you.
“Beauty is a form of genius.” - Oscar Wilde
Kudos to Jack & Hill for their excellent taste in playwrites, and thoroughly inspiring taste in quotes.
How To Fix A Flat, Without Breaking A Nail
Filed Under Blog, Life | Leave a Comment
Sometimes on the road of life, you get a flat. As a woman, what you don’t want when you get a flat is to be caught at night on the side of the road or to be in your beautiful clothes down on your knees changing to your spare. What you do want is a nice easy way to get what you want fast, back on the road with grace and ease. That’s why, as I was fixing my own flat tire the other day, I realized that every woman should have a can of Fix-A-Flat in her trunk. This stuff is great, you just screw it onto the air nozzle of the tire, press a button and it fills your tire with liquid foam. Then you drive two to four miles, the foam settles into the hole in your tire, hardens, and presto - your good to go where ever you were headed in the first place. Quick, easy, actually works, and a really great tool for both your safety and peace of mind (it will save your clothes and nails too).
