The Proper Table Etiquette.....

How to use your silverware and dinnerware:


How many times have you gone out to dinner on a date, with co-workers, friends? How many times have you attended  a dinner party and not known which fork was which? How many times have you sat and waited praying that the person across the table would take the lead so that you could follow them and not look or feel like an idiot? Most of us have at one time. I'm here to help.....

Simply Delicious Lingerie isn't just about lingerie, we're also about bringing out the confidence in "you" so that you're appealing both inside and out. Here's the "how to's" brushing up on etiquette...

Use the silverware farthest from your plate first.

Here's the Silverware and dinnerware rule:

Eat to your left, drink to your right. Any food dish to the left is yours, and any glass to the right is yours.Starting with the knife, fork, or spoon that is farthest from your plate, work your way in, using one utensil for each course. The salad fork is on your outermost left, followed by your dinner fork. Your soup spoon is on your outermost right, followed by your beverage spoon, salad knife and dinner knife. Your dessert spoon and fork are above your plate or brought out with dessert. If you remember the rule to work from the outside in, you'll be fine. 


Stay tuned for social and dining etiquette rules.

Regrets and Changes

My goal was not to wake up in my mid 40’s with the bitter realization that I had wasted my entire life on something that I hated.  I wanted to be the bleak percentage of the population that had no regrets, and although I am quite happy with my life, my only regret was not having found love after divorce until now. If I died tomorrow and I tell my kids this all the time…..I would die a happy woman who enjoyed life, although sometimes rougher than I anticipated, nevertheless, fought tooth and nail for all that I believed in, followed my dreams and made my goals my realities. I couldn’t have asked for a better family. I have always considered myself the “black sheep” of our family, and most every family has one, or so it seems and I always felt like I brought new mix to the pot. Life is never dull with me around and more often than not, I have my family and friends wondering “What is she going to do next?” I am the adventurous one who isn’t afraid to take the bull by the horns, or to take a stance if I believe in something or someone even if it means standing alone, the one who says yes when others say no.

I truly believe that when something strikes, such as cancer did for me, and not just once, but four times in the last ten years you tend to take a better perspective on life and you certainly learn that the things you may have taken for granted you take no more. I see the world and my life as if I were wearing “magic glasses” and the things that I didn’t do, or that I was doing all wrong, I fixed. I changed my ways with things that I was doing that I didn’t like. I guess you can say that I did a little house cleaning within myself.

In a recent study, about 44 per cent of the women interviewed listed romance being their #1 regret, while only 19 per cent of men did. Many of the romantic regrets were about 'the one that got away, a missed opportunity or someone you knew in college with whom it didn't quite work out,' The second-most common regret centered around family issues, such as a desire to have been kinder to a loved one. Others regretted not going to college or not divorcing sooner, or choosing money over a life's passion. My suggestion would be for you to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror….are you happy with who you are and how your life turned out? If you are, that is terrific! It you aren’t, it’s never too late to have a “re-do” and fix it.

Mistakes are something in which we all learn from. You wouldn’t have learned anything throughout life had you not made the mistakes that you did along the way. Mistakes can be corrected; regrets often cannot, because most often people think that it is too late to change. There is no better time than the present. Life is a gift, accept it, appreciate it and enjoy it, for tomorrow you may not have the chance. Strip down to the naked truth, determine who you are by reading the book of life as if it were written all about you. Figure out what you can do, how you can make your life better, regret free, and do it.

The Last First Kiss.....

There isn't a right or a wrong way to determine how to kiss perfectly, in fact, I suggest working really hard at this difficult task to learn how to master the technique whole heartily....you know what they say, "Practice Makes Perfect!!" Remember, atmosphere surrounds the kissers. It's about that few perfect seconds where for a slight minute you're at a loss for words, you stumble to find the right thing to say because you are so nervous, and then you lean in toward your partner. Now, if any of you have seen the Will Smith movie "Hitch" which happens to be one of my all time favorite romantic comedies, you'll remember that he said you lean in, you go 90% and make them come the other 10% of the way....

Here are a few tips to ensure that this kiss will be a good beginning, because if you are just starting to date this man/woman and you want to make a good impression, and you really like him/her you'll want to be the one that they remember, not the one that you went out with once....it has to be so good that it could possibly be their last first kiss.

We're not all born good smoochers, some are gifted naturally, others,....not so much. Practice makes perfect. Remember, a romantic kiss is being able to kiss someone and see and feel their senses magnify.

Here are the 5 things to watch for; Senses include smell, sight, taste,sound, and touch.

Splash on some perfume ladies, you're going to want him to smell your scent for hours, and long after you're gone.....make sure that you look very attractive, bring plenty of breath mints, and for goodness sake, don't be noisy kisser....that could be the deal breaker! However, if the moment is hot, then you won't be hearing any noises, you'll be focusing on this enchanting. Stay away from the sucking, popping and slurping sounds that put images of saliva and spit into the kissers minds. When your lips first touch a spark that should start your hearts. So...how does one set the mood? Teasing is the best way to lead to a romantic kiss. Kiss the neck, the shoulder, the cheek, the ear, anything and everything but the lips. Smell her, nibble on her ear, touch her face softly, caress her hands softly rubbing her palm. Get the body tingling first, so that when the lips finally connect, energy explodes in your mouth, chill run up your spine, and fire works go off like it's the 4th of July! .......Now that's what I call sexy!

Have you had your last first kiss?

Sooooo Delicious!

de.li.cious (di lish es') adjective

1)very enjoyable; delightful:

2) very pleasing to the senses, esp. to taste or smell

Total Time: 10 min

Prep:10 min 

Directions;
Here's  something that will make you wanting to come back for more....,sandwich a scoop of softened praline or butter pecan ice cream and a spoonful of caramel sauce between chocolate wafers. Run a knife around the edge to smooth, then roll in chopped pecans, if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

When you really think about what the word delicious means, you'll come up with several words that describe it. Whether its dessert or a new romance that you are trying to pursue, they'll both leave much to be desired. Appetizing, delectable, enticing, exquisite, fit for a king, luscious, lush, savory. tasty, tempting, sweet, scrumptious, and yummy....these are all words to describe something that you can only understand if you taste the product,....that's right ladies, take him out for a test drive.....it's no different than making a new dessert and eating it first before you decide to serve it to your guests......
He's got the sweets, but you can be the icing on the cake!

I'll Have What She's Having......

Perhaps there is nothing to celebrate,....but women always love their partners to be a little romantic. It's those little things that make women fall in love and they make such a big difference in a relationship if you remember to do it once in a while. Keep the passion alive and that fire burning, or it could all go up in smoke! Some men think that after being with a woman for a period of time that they are done with the courtship,dating, and excitement.....they forget about the flowers, the dinner dates, weekend trips together. Bue women sure don't forget them. Even those little gestures (the one's that may not matter so much to you,) certainly do matter to the women. Being appreciated and complimented is a very big deal.
 
To make the relationship full of life, it's not only the guys who should reach out and make the effort find romantic ideas. For men, it may be really difficult to be romantic, why, I have no idea, unless he's just not that into her, or they may find it cheesy, but there are things that you may think are just too simple but it could already be very romantic for women.

1)  Remember the important dates, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Simply Delicious Lingerie offers 20% off for birthay purchases.
2) Take time to let her know that you are thinking of her during the day. You can send her a simple text message, or you can tell her all about your day when you cuddle at night.
3)Don't forget the small things. Listen to her needs through her voice as well as her body language. Women love to be touched. It's a gentle gesture that says you care.
4)Spend Quality Time with Her! If you want to do something more special, you can take her out to a romantic dinner, or get her tickets to a romantic or a funny movie, plan trip out of town together to share those special moments and laughs. Always remember to keep the romance in your relationhip, more often than not it's the little things that mean the most.

I'll Have What She's Having!

 

I've Got Crabs.....

.....Crab Cakes that is.....Geez, get your mind out of the gutter and into the kitchen for some good cooking!

Crab Cakes are my favorite treat, not cheap, but then again, aren't we worth what we put in our mouths?

I wanted to share this recipe because while most people are grilling out for the summer...I still find this recipe one of my favorites!
It's easy to whip up, it's tasty and mouth watering....

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Men are like Martinis

In a sense, finding  a good man is like mixing the perfect martini. One chosen from a combination of several varieties of mixers yet he prominently stands out in the crowd  leaving you desiring and craving more. Mouth watering, luscious to taste, exquisite to admire from afar, sensuous, seductive, gratifying, pleasurable in every way, and so stimulating to the mind that you can't stop from yearning for more to fill your sexual appetite. We all have different choices of flavors to savor and when it comes to smooth. You want a mouthful of stimulation....richly appealing to the senses, (0ur 3 "E's" and essential sources of Vitamin E which,... btw fight as antioxidant defenses in the liver.) exhilarating, energizing, and enticing!

Here's the recipe for my favorite apple martini.
‎1 part vodka 1 1/2 sour apple pucker 1/2 triple second 1/2 sprite 1/2 sour mix!!!

Easy Bedroom Etiquette!

Manners, don't leave home without them!

Saying please and thank you and keeping our elbows off the dinner table were manners in which were instilled upon us at a young age....and if we learned them, there really wouldn't be anything else to learn, right? Wrong! It turns out; manners actually apply to the bedroom and are imperative for great sex. Before you crack that whip ladies, I’m about to give you a brief run down, the 411 on everything you need to know about good sex etiquette. Simply Delicious Lingerie wants to share our thoughts so we'll start with a few simple ones and progress throughout  this blog in other articles. 

What can you do if his moves are a turn-off?
This happens to all of us sometimes. Talk about awkward! He’s doing something that’s really not working for you, but you don’t want to be harsh and tell him not to do it. The clock is ticking...Poof! You just lost your mojo...and there's no telling when it's coming back!

How long should you wait to get naked? .....Only you can decide this, just remember, if you do it too quickly he thinks you’re a "Hoe" and if it take you too long he may not stick around, or he will and he'll turn out to have been quite the gentleman who wants to take it slow with you and build a foundation of possibilities. If you wait, what does that decision spell for your sex life? Some women will hold back until their wedding; others will throw the rules right out the window for an 11th-hour booty call. Exactly when do you choose to get down and dirty with your date heavily influences the type of sex you’ll have together—now and later. Think about it...do you really want to be known as the gal with the loose caboose?

 
“Just how long do you need to wait to get out of bed after it's all been said and done?“You definitely don’t want to interrupt the mood for the first five minutes or so after orgasm. The first five minutes are really the stay connected zone, then after that you can do whatever you want,” You also don’t want to do anything that might suggest  that this was just a wham-bam-thank-you-M’am, so whatever you do guys.... turning on ESPN right afterwards, or getting up to leave  is a No-no! Shame on you! Some people like to cuddle, some like to fall asleep in your arms afterward for hours, but listen to me ladies, for those of you whom are really naive; if he goes straight to the shower and then says that something came up, or that he got a page and has to leave....he's married or in a relationship with someone and he just washed off your scent so the wifey/girlfriend doesn't find out! This is what I call a lying cheating bastard and a real piece of work!
Kick Him to the Curb, ....Don't Look Back! 

Has Society Sucked You In?

Lets talk for a minute, just for the health of it about something; enhancements? The dictionary says that this an improvement, an exaggeration....... I ponder the question most often, why? Why do people go under the knife to change?

Why do people get enhancements? Sure as we get older things being to sag, bag, and droop, and after having a baby or two or five, women tend to droop in ways that they never imagined, Hey that wasn't in the 'what to expect when your expecting/having a baby book!' …..I get that, and maybe it is nice to get that quick fix to raise ones spirits. I understand that enhancements often are because of deformities, accidents that on has sustained, I get that too...but what I don't get is why someone with a beautiful shape or exquisite features already goes under the knife to change his or her image that was created just for you? No, we weren't all perfectly designed, but who we are defines us. I am a perpetual believer in thinking things through., you should be too.

You are alluring, attractive, adventurous, optimistic, grateful, classy, witty, perhaps even; exciting, intoxicating, innocent, spunky, amorous,vivacious, vociferous, stellar, meticulous. These are characteristics that are in you, and people love you for these traits. They individualize you. These are your invisible branding. I see beauty in so many people and now I find myself looking at those enhanced and wondering why? Why did they do it, why did they want it? Is it because reality has changed the world so much that we feel that if we don't stay one step ahead of the game we lack something? Is it because we are trying to compare ourselves to someone else? Is it because we are trying to stand out and be noticed, and if so, what for?

 My grandmother used to always say, "Stop trying to fit in, when you were born to stand out." I know, sounds like something out of a Lady Gaga song.....which touches on another note....for years people thought that they had to look better, act differently so that they'd fit in. There were times that I felt I never fit in, even with my family I have been the black sheep. Society says enhance., I say insecurities cause this as well as low self-esteem. No more, and gone are the days when getting bullied or taunted belittle you. Please do not misconstrue what I am trying to say. I'm not condemning what you choose to do to your body, afterall it is yours not mine. I'm simply trying to understand why? Beauty is only skin deep, yet below the exterior there is a hidden treasure in each and every one of us. 

I guess my question here is simple; are you doing it for health reasons, aging reasons, childbirth issues, or just to stand out because you think big boobs are great or to earn a few more bucks in your career, get a better partner that loves a perfect body and wants a trophy rather than a real woman? Personally, my overview is that you feel tied to this certain need, this particular notion that this will get you noticed, or make you more popular,....are you a prisoner of your own body? Are you one of those people that drag the ball and chain around with you because you let society suck you in? 

You are my Drug, I Have an Addiction

Is happily ever after so once upon a time? It's not very often that we find something, or someone that seems to fit so perfectly in our life that we become compelled to want more of it. Every month, week, day and hour we become dependent on this one thing a little more than the last time and we become the addict. It gets to be like a craving that needs fed constantly. There are various forms of addictions....drug addiction, sexual addictions, gambling addictions, alcohol addictions, etc. Like most of these, I'm not that kind of addict. It's something far more than that.....Imagine a runaway train.... My heart, my mind, my thoughts, have been saturated. In a sense you are my drug, and I have an addiction.

 I am not at all the type of woman to let a man creep under my skin. Most men I can read from a mile away. My radar goes off and more often than not,I begin seeing red flags and I fear hearing all of their empty promises. Then one day, when I least expected it, someone from my past comes back into my life and since that day, life has been eccentric, and everything that I knew, has changed. Imagine living in a world where your existence remained the same and then one day, your life is like that of  Alice in Wonderland.....you feel like you're living in a place of make believe,  where all your thoughts escape to, and you're just waiting for that dream to end.....How can someone  make you feel the things that you feel and feed your addictions? That adoration, hunger,…is incredible and knowing that so many women hope for a man like this, I find myself in a world of self-indulgence. The more I hear his voice, the more I want him. Somehow, I feel like I've been given a second chance to start a new chapter in my life. Having learned from so many of my past mistakes, I move forward with caution and wonder into chapter one of new beginnings.

A few things occur.....We can try to fight this feeling and fail miserably, or we can give in to it and as Robert Palmer once said ......you're gonna have to face it you're "addicted to love." Does love really exist and how can you tell if you have these feelings? My feelings have been dormant for so long that I feel disabled at times. His voice enduring, captures my heart. What are the coincidences of finding that one right person that makes you so vulnerable that you begin to wonder if fate has finally stepped in or if this is your destiny calling? I've always been the one to take the path less traveled, and for a few reasons, 1) I am not at all like everyone else, and 2) I prefer the scenic route where things are pure and somewhat undiscovered. To find love would be like an eccentricity of my ordinary common life. There is no being halfhearted. Give this all that you have, for once upon a time may be the only chance you get!



Men are like fine Wine....

In comparison, "Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with." Finding a good man with exquisite qualities is quite rare, as is searching for that particular bottle in a wine cellar...Extraordinary to say the least, delicate to taste on ones lips, pleasurable to endure and most illuminating to the mind.

If you're looking for a way to show him/or her your romantic side and aren't quite how to pull it off, try this....
as seen below in Exhibit A. There is nothing as seductive, erotic, and spontaneous as walking in the door to a vision of beauty......a woman waiting for you.

Where's your Danger Zone?

Lingerie is designed with the preference that gives all women a sexual appeal by highlighting on their beautiful curves and disguising the parts that seem to be what I call the danger zones. Ladies, we all weren’t born models with tooth pick shapes and we don’t all weigh 100 pounds. If you fit this description, and you were blessed with a girlie figure, if you don’t eat healthy, don't have to count calories, and rarely exercise to keep your shape without having to work hard for it, I’ve got a voodoo doll in my nightstand with your name on it. (Just joking!) Some of us just want to "be normal." Some of us have flaws, cottage cheese, saggy boobs, flabby arms, baggy love handles, big belly- We're all proportioned differently. I have a few of my own, so I know more than anyone what it’s like to see something that you really want only to try it.....look in the mirror and want to cry because it makes you look like you have 3 asses. Some pieces look good on one but not on another. This causes such disappointment. As we age we see our bodies differently and we go through a variety of changes.

The eye is attracted to particulars. Sexy lingerie sells. Women love sexy matching sets and lingerie that is classy, yet flirty. At Simply Delicious Lingerie we're here to help you to find out what areas to enhance and with what type of lingerie according to your figure. When our eyes catch a peek at something they like, we envision how it might accentuate us. We’ll begin to share with you in articles to come why more often than not it’s not only difficult finding the right pieces of lingerie, but discouraging to say the least! Don’t give up!! Finding various styles and designs for the short, too tall, big build, too small, petite woman, pregnant woman, big bust, no bust, big caboose, no caboose, etc., can be time consuming, and depressing! There are some women who may be more voluptuous that others, some may be very busty, some between sizes and just wrongly proportioned. What’s a gal to do? Try to stay positive, dig down deep and find that self esteem and make it your mission to find what lineaments reveal the best "you!"

Our goals are to teach you how to look for lingerie that shows sexual appeal. We’ll emphasize on different features of women of all sizes. Whatever your figure may be, remember, we are here to give you quality care with respect, confidentiality, and personal service.

Give your Romance a Splash!

Planning an important evening with your lover is probably one of the most romantic and fantasizing things that  you can do.We're under paid, over worked, and exhausted because your 40 hour salary job just turned into 60+ ....so what happens? Your exhistence becomes a pattern.

You get so caught up in the everyday hustle and bustle that you lose perspective of the things that really matter, yet actually so easy to obtain because you get caught up in the go go go swirl of life. The every day routines become your reality, proof that you're losing track of what is important, and before you know it, too much time has passed and you find yourself like hundreds of other feeling alone, unwanted, or undesired.

Hold on, and apply brakes NOW! Don't let this happen to you!! We get so busy that by the time we get home at night all we can think about is watching our favorite show, or sporting event, grabbing a quick bite which is generally something unhealthy and includes the words "happy hour" because we're too tired to actually stand up in our own kitchen and cook something. While we are doing all of this we are visualizing the thought of sleep and the moment we get to our bed and our head hits the pillow.... "Wham"....and like that old 1976 vintage Pat Travers Bands sang..." Boom Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights!"

This cannot be....learn how to set the mood! If you want to see the fizzle come out of a relationship or marrige, this is the pattern that you need to learn how to stay out of. Don't become that  statistics called "boring couples syndrome" that so many are labeled. Be the couple that makes the time to share together a few hours at least once a week if nothing more....No, I'm not talking about getting a "quickie" either! Some people choose a night out for dinner at their favorite restaurant, some go to the movies. It's that connection, the touch of his/her hand touching yours, rubbing your neck, or giving you that soft kiss......

I want to be pampered at home with candles, soft music, a glass of wine, simply delicious chocolate covered strawberries, a home cooked meal, and hot bubble bubble bath to unwind, relax, and endulge. There is nothing more romantic than a couple that gets reacquainted in the tub after a long week of work and stress....passion and desire build, hormones start working overtime and before you know it  they take the romance straight to the bedroom where there is ground stomping, head board knocking, biting, spanking and everything that goes on in between! Make the choice to make your partner your number one priority....my guess is that she or he will prefer quality over quantity any day.

Masquerading your Identity

I've been called  defiant, energetic,exuberant, even sarcastic. It has been said by many that I am like that of the girl next door meets vixen. A bit chaste... every now and then risque! I'd say I was misconstrued by those who don't really know me.

I'm fun, out going, lively, caring, and giving, and on the other hand; sensual, sexy, alluring, adventurous, classy,charismatic. I have the flair to do most anything I set out to do. I am proficient, and talented. I can conquer the most impossible of tasks with an uncanny ability to succeed. So can you! My past is written proof of this. I learned quite quickly after my divorce that I had to juggle parenthood, a full time job, and two kids in their early teens...did I mention that I was responsible for teaching them to drive? If that didn't make me age 10 years nothing will.

Quite magnetic that of two identities in masquerade but under it all a perspicuous woman waiting to be discovered, sought out and pampered by the right man. I am here to tell you that we all feel like we are split down the center at times. No job is harder that that of a women who is being pulled in five different directions. We stress out, cry, and sometime throw things to release tension or anger. You're not alone....there are many others just like you. Whether you are in a relationship, dating, or married, this can apply to all of you. You can still be a savvy business woman, a mother, a care giver, etc., in public, but in private and behind closed doors the mask comes off and you can be erotic, exotic intoxicating stellar woman and Simply Delicious Lingerie is here to make sure you not only look sexy but feel sexy! Find your happy medium, balance your lifestyle and enjoy every day! Don't ever be afraid to hide being your mask at times, it is your shield that protects you, but it's your self esteem and confidence that allows you to rise above! Don't be afraid to unlease the wild woman every once in a while...

Desire or Destruction?

What is Desire?

de·sire 
 Here is what the dictionary says:
tr.v. de·sired, de·sir·ing, de·sires

1. To wish or long for; want.

2. To express a wish for; request.

n.

1. A wish or longing.

2. A request or petition.

3. The object of longing:

4. Sexual appetite; passion

While some women, or men have few wants and or needs, others have many. There are various forms of desire;  feelings of ambition, temptation, craving, wishing, yearning, thirstiness, arousal, passion, urge, longing, here's one my grandmother used to say "hankering"....however we choose to see it we have it. Then there are sexual desires; physical attractions. erotic love, sensuality, sensualness, sexiness, fetish. lustfulness, the "hots" or how 'bout this.....nymphomania? At Simply Delicious Lingerie, we want to help you become acquainted with your inner desires and assist you with making the right selections of intimate apparel.

All of the great achievers throughout history have one thing in common. They have all been dreamers or desirers. If anyone is to achieve their goals in life then the first thing they need to do is establish what their desires are. That's what makes people who are highly successful different from the rest - they know exactly what they want in life....however, many people lack self confidence and are unwilling to set their aims higher through fear of failing. This sometimes develops due to people close to them. They send out discouraging negative signals, and they feel they are unrealistic with their goals and life choices. Make a list; Yes, you heard me, "make a list" of the pro's and con's of what you desire in a man, a woman, sexual relationship, job and life?

There's no substitute for the trial and error nor is it predictable and effortless, ...what you desire sets the pace for how your life will play out. You’ll begin checking the list items off one by one and while doing this you'll learn more about yourself along the way. You'll also learn to respect yourself more. On the relationship side of it; Jealousy is the dragon in paradise, you don't want to breathe fire on your man and chase him away, you want to ignite his flame so that he'll want to surrender himself to you. Wise up ladies, although that saying holds true that there are a lot of fish in the sea, once you find the one that interests you and makes you all giddy, hang on to him, and for goodness sake,... BE POSITIVE...because if you don't, there are a lot of piranhas that are waiting and they are hungry with desire and would not think twice to gulp your man right up! The 3 words a man never wants to hear a woman utter are " Don't Leave Me!"

Don't let any insecurities show! Believe me when I say.... nothing sends a man running without his feet hitting the floor faster are insecurities and jealousy. This is where the man feels like he always has to walk on eggshells, hence the fact  that this will cause any chance of a true relationship to literally self destruct!

 In order to desire someone else you have to love yourself first! You have to Be True to YOU!

Who is the fairest of them all?

Meet Queen Ophelia, some say that women rule and that we wear the pants in the family, or household...but who wears the tiara?...... Queen Ophelia does, that's who. Why?....because she can, and she has real mean looking teeth!

For years women have allowed others to walk all over them and they just kept taking it. My grandmothers really didn't have a very big say so in the decision making like the modern day woman does today. Things have changed a great deal. Today we are treated almost equally. We stand up for what we believe in, fight for morals, values, and our sense of pride.

We love men and they are our other half so to speak,.....but OH WHEN THEY DO WRONG....
When men screw up, we tend to put them in the dog house and quite frankly, they could be there a while before we decide to let them out. We find ourselves calling the shots, being responsible and doing the
"I told you so" dance from time to time! Instead of leaving them out all night to suffer and think over what they did, throw them a bone and show them some love! In addition to to this, compliment them, apologize and smile...it feeds them. We sometimes need to camouflage our feelings, our hormones rage, our temperature rises, and we say things that by all rights should be edited in several countries. Sometimes we embellish the truth a little,...why? We love a challenge, we hate to lose, and it sounds so damn good at the time....but truth be told, when push comes to shove, we bring on the poker face and try to dominate because that's our built in defense mechanism. Show your pup some love....he'll be so surprised and quite happy not to still be in that dog house....nonetheless, he won't know what's going, and will most likely question your motives....this is called "having him right where you want him"...how does it feel?
 Simply Delicious Lingerie can help you turn anger into sultry...we've got the right piece for you!

Rule #2 ....Men love when we stroke their Egos! Sooooo give them what they want.
We still wear the jewels, but we make them believe that they are the king!

Find the Perfect Fit!

On the contrary to what many define a modern day princess....I am your not so typical Cinderella type seeking her Prince....I am a hard worker, and a dedicated woman who generally puts the needs of others before my own true happiness. Anyone who knows me, truly knows me...will agree. So what is it that I seek? Well, would it be too improbable to state that I want a man who can "show me the magic!" Unlike so many women, I'm "not" searching for a man with deep pockets, ultimately it's not the monetary value I'm after. What I'm in search of is true chemistry and companionship. Sure I want the refined fairy tale....but without all of the red tape. My glass slipper can only be found on high end avenues, or so I thought...then I met this guy...

My "wishes" - have always been to find a genuine man I can communicate with, share laughs. Where is the man who can't wait to see me at the end of the day and the one who is thrilled to see me when he awakens? A man who can understand me well enough to read me like a book, who can look deep into my eyes and read my thoughts, to finish my sentences. I want many things that most women seek and desire, however, I won't settle, nor should you ladies.... I wish to be courted because I am old fashion in many ways and I want a true gentleman. ladies...I demand respect, and you should too. A life full of joy, happiness and everlasting love....isn't that all that women really want?

While some call me a mystery, others call me a real handful. Like the gameboard I can be TROUBLE! That be as it may, my character has been defined as both sexy and sensual. I'm confident, classy, educated, sexy, witty, charming, spunky. Insistent, persistent, intriguing, enthusiastic, influential, independent, skeptical, well rounded, not at all easily intimidated. My unprofessional advice for you? Find what defines you, and explore your possibilities. Beware of the man with the fast tongue and empty promises. If you believe this is love, you must have fallen off the turnip truck too hard and smacked your nugget on the pavement.

What took me years to learn, but I understand now...and that is that you can have the best of both worlds. When you find your missing piece to the puzzle, finally everything connects, and your life changes for the better, simply because he is in it. Don't stop searching ladies until you find the right one,  be a true connoisseur of romance in search of her one in a million. We have various intimate pieces at our online boutique suitable for any type of Cinderella. Affordable prices can be found at  Simply Delicious Lingerie.

I've learned throughout life's difficult lessons to be true to yourself because your words and your actions speak loud and first impressions are everything. On the contrary to what so many may think,...I don't seek glitter and glamour, rather a simple lifestyle made for two people that are happy just being who they are....I wait for that one man who will sweep me off my feet, and make all of my dreams come true......Never give up, he's out there.....and the thing is....he has probably been waiting a life time to meet you! Search for your perfect fit, your glass slipper, whatever the brand or type may be.....

Do we really need the icing?

Makeup is only the icing on the cake - it doesn't create your personality or your being. How many women do you know of that wake up an hour early in the morning to shower, have their coffee and put on their face? I know several...not me, No Sir!! I was raised the old fashion way. I wasn't allowed to put a stitch of make up on before I was 16 and if I got caught with it on, my mother punished me. She said it covered the real me. She taught me to let the "unique me" as she called it, shine through.....

I'm not saying that women who wear make up are bad, on the contrary, most are quite beautiful!

I wear it....but what I am trying to say is that I just don't think you need to apply it so carefully that it takes hours to complete, or wear so much that you need 5 different creams and another hour at night to take it off! Try going the less complicated route.... make up, curlers,..... glamorous? Yes, but lots of work. Ladies, take back some of your time! A light cream foundation, a splash of mascara, and some gloss on your lips is all you need!

Make up is far too much work for me....give me 10 mintues in the morning and 10 minutes at night and I am out the door or under the covers long before you've even stripped off the first few layers. Eye care remover, facial scrub, toners, astrigents, gels, anti-aging creams, anti-wrinkle crap...what next? I'm 47 and I use good old fashion soap and water! H&B companies probably hate women like me, however, less make up is less harsh on my skin and I want to still look like I'm in my 40s when I'm in my 60s!

 Try this; look in the mirror and tell yourself: I am the icing on the cake! I'm classy and sassy! Your inner beauty is just as sexy as what so many try to enhance on the outside. A man wants to see the real you, ...so ask yourself this..."Will he like what he sees when he wakes up next to me?" The less make up you wear, and the more "you" he'll see, and love! Most men don't like high maintenance...so keep it simple!

Badda boom badda bing!

Simply Delicious Lingerie asks.....What is SEXY?

What is SEXY?

Here is what the dictionary says:

sex·y  – adjective, sex·i·er, sex·i·est

1) sexually interesting or exciting

2)excitingly appealing, glamorous, seductive

3)being erotically attractive to another

Here are some sassy synomyms I found related with "sexy"

appealing, arousing, attractive, beautiful, charming, captivating, cute, darling, delectable, delightful, desirable, erotic, hot, luscious, passionate, seductive, steamy, suave, sultry, vivacious, voluptuous

Individually the traits in and of themselves might not account for someone being sexy, but when combined, they may very well result in a "sexy woman". For example, the fact that someone is simply "suave" might not necessarily make them sexy, but being suave & attractive & vivacious could easily do the trick (where "vivacious" is defined as "full of life", and "suave" is defined as "charming").

Becoming a sexier woman is one way to step it up a notch...and if you're not exactly sure how to do this, here are a few simply delicious tips to get you on your way;

First of all, think about how other people see you? They see your body, your clothing, and the way you carry yourself,..... they see your personality. Let's start with that.

It's important to understand that much of being "sexy" is atttitude!!! Every girl has it, you just may not know how to use it. We'll get back to this one in a later article. Are you upbeat & enthusiastic? or are you constantly miserable & unhappy? Do you have self-confidence, or do you just blend in? Obviously it's more enjoyable to be around someone who is full of life and pep, as opposed to someone who is always down, (lets call her Negative Nancy) so right there you can be more appealing simply by presenting yourself as someone who is a ton of fun to be around. Your reflection will rub off! When people are put in surroundings with happy people, they become happier. You can be silly, goofy and smart all at the same time...and if someone says you can't ...they haven't a clue on how to multi-task!

So step #1 on the path to being more sexy is to be a confident, charming & optimistic person. Listen,... a good personality is not all it takes -- you have to look good too! It would be great to have the heavenly body, but reality, in most cases says we don't. For me, in my mid 40s I have to work harder, and keeping in shape, exercising and eating healthy isn't something I enjoy doing everyday.....

2-3 days a week I pop in my favorite DVD Yoga Booty Ballet and work out for 15-20 minutes. If you are a newbie to this type of work out and it seems easy,...PLEASE don't over do it. I was one of those women who watched it and thought, "Hmmm piece of cake...I'll do it twice and get a better work out!" Wrong, wrong wrong....oh it felt good then but two days later when I couldn't get out of my sunken bath tub without feeling pain as all of my muscles ached, I learned real quickly that this was a NO NO! My grandmother used to say, "Rome wasn't built over night" in a sense, we don't pack on extra weight in one day, it comes over time, so don't try to get rid of it in one or two fast work outs. Make sure that regardless of how others look or feel, you need to take care of you! Eat more fruits, veggies, yogurts, and whole wheat breads (they have more fiber and vitamins)...speaking of, take vitamins!! Our body needs it!

Where am I going with this? You don't have to be a hot sexy goddess.... BE YOURSELF! Instead of comparing yourself to others, be the best that you can be, because if you want to be sexy, you must first be happy with yourself. This is essential! After that, trust me, everything else will begin to fall into place.

Stay tuned for Step #2.....

Rule # 1: Never Kiss & Tell

How To Be The Woman He Wants

Girls....We all like to play hard to get from time to time, and tease a man, but these are just playful ways to show that you can be sassy and sometimes aggressive. Play a little hard to get, but don't scare the poor guy away! On the contrary, a man needs to know you like him, but - and here's the clincher - he needs to know that you value your own life. A wonderful way to do this is to be open to other men. Knowing that your options are open will raise your self esteem. And when your self esteem goes up, you become more attractive to lots of men.

......Then another magical thing happens: Either a man will step up his game to frazzle the competition, or he'll get lost in the shuffle.....and this is how you make room for the real Mr. Right to show up. Why settle for Hersheys when you can have Godiva? Never limit yourself, and always show confidence. If you're feeling a little hesitant don't....buck up sister! Time to get your game on!  For our step-by-step guidance in raising your self esteem and being open to men in a way that will make them compete for your time and attention, ......stay tuned! Follow the new columns on our new Simply Delicious Lingerie web site where journalists and professionals comment on Q&As about love, fashion, and food!
