Excellent Customer Service for the Holidays and Everyday...

I enjoy shopping for loved ones, family members, friends and coworkers. What makes it even a better experience is when you find someone that goes that extra mile for you to really seal the deal, whereas that customer service representative will go over and above what many others would do. Why? Because they love to mingle with people and they know how to provide excellent customer service. I'm about to share with you superb customer care I received today that I felt needed to be spoken of.

When I grew up my parents raised myself and my siblings to treat others as we would wish to be treated. Those are powerful words and the best advice anyone could have given me as a child and young adult. Here's why...as I got older and matured, I married and started a family and raised my children to treat others with dignity and respect just as I did. When you do this, people take notice. Giving to those who cannot do for themselves is one of the best gifts. We don't about what we do, we just do it. We aren't ever looking for praise, we do it out of love.

 It is much better to give than to receive. With this time being the holidays we look for great deals and what we love even more so is when we come in contact with a salesperson/customer service representative who has style, class and above all, a terrific personality. When you have these there things you can sell a product to anyone even if they don't need it. Why? Because these people give us a sense of security with these products. My grandmother always used to say, "If you can't stand behind your words, you have no right trying to sell the product!" She was quite a wise woman. She raised me to believe in karma. Do I? You bet I do!

I want to talk to you about a company that I have been using for a few years and one that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE! It's called Restaurant.com and you can find it on the web at; http://www.restaurant.com/. They have an A+ rating with the BBB and they are an SSL site, which means they are secure so your information and credit card info is safe with them!

Generally, I go to this site to buy gift cards for restaurants and its as easy as 1,2 3. Their specials are GREAT! A few days ago I learned of a sale through my son, a  holiday sale where you could buy a $25 gift card for only $1.00! Imagine that? These restaurants are pretty much giving you food for free to frequent them. If you've never heard of this place before for goodness sakes, check them out now. This special is going on through Christmas Eve and when you enter the code: JOY at checkout it changes your prices to $1.00 per $25. See the coupon below.

Listen,...guys and gals take advantage of this right away! Make sure that you read the rules and stipulations for each restaurant as they do have rules. Some can't be used on weekends, some on holidays, generally this does not include alcohol, etc. However, they are the way to go with gifts! Everyone loves to go out to eat and try new places. A few months back I went to NYC in Manhattan (Upper East Side) to visit my son and took a bunch of these gift cards. We had great food and service. I did the same for my daughter who lives in Houston Texas and we tried a number of great places there too! In both cases, we went to places that one might never think of to go at any other time. Listen...I love trying new places, and I am NOT knocking chain restaurants...BUT step outside of the box/your comfort zone if you've not yet and do yourself a favor and try new places! You'll love them and you'll be so happy that you did!

My story to you today is about an extraordinary young man who works for a company called Restaurant.com named Miguel Lara. When I ran into trouble with my order, I called and was directed to him to assist me. This man is amazing and had all the answered. He assured me that I would have time to purchase my certificates until Christmas Eve. (Apparently, so many people are trying to buy these that the servers are busy and if it kicks you out, you have to start over trying again at a later time) This had never happened to me before ever, but then again I've never seen a sale such as this.

Miguel was upbeat, friendly and quite outgoing. He first asked me my name, and my email address to check my account. He chuckled when I said Michele@SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com. I told him "I own a lingerie shop and that I am building a new one for plus sizes." I love what I do! I gave him my website; http://www.simplydeliciouslingerie.com/ He immediately started a friendly conversation about my business all the while discussing the various perks for Reataurant.com. He reminded me a lot of myself and the customer service skills that I have and I was extremely  impressed with his actions!

 I gave Miguel this information about me for one specific reason. I have a blog on my website at the top left of the homepage and I write about a variety of things. I was so intrigued by his pleasant personality and his willingness to go above and beyond to help a gal out that I wanted everyone to know that there are wonderful people that care about you and who love servicing you! Miguel treated me with great respect. He was  admirable , ambitious and fabulous! Any company would be blessed to have such a salesperson working for them. Because of Miguel, I will tell friends and share blogs and continue to patronize http://www.restaurant.com/ in the future! Thank you Miguel so much for making my day one to remember and for allowing me to write about you today. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Sexy Lingerie Gives Women a Boost of Confidence!

Thinking you need a boost...a pick me up, something to up the ante and make you stand out amongst other woman so that your partner,mate, lover, or spouse does a double take? Well, here's a thought,...If you want to spice up your personal life, consider sexy lingerie. Consider Simply Delicious Lingerie. Men love it, and women feel confident in the perfect piece. Confidence is key ladies!!

Lets face it...for many of us, where we live depends on what our mood is like. Take me for instance...I grew up outside of Cleveland Ohio where the snow belt sent inches of snow onto us at the drop of a hat. Then I married and moved to west Michigan off the lake shore where we had snow dumped on us even more so. During these times, we bundle up and thinking of getting sexy and frisky may not always be the way to go. Says who? I say this should be the time that you kick it into high gear and really get risque for your mate. Are you caught in a rut? If so then now is probably a good time to consider sexy lingerie. Sexy lingerie is a fast and effective way to rev things up in the bedroom. Sexy lingerie tells your partner that you still care about them. It can either be racy or risqué or slightly more demure in style but either way it is sending a loud and clear message.  Whether it is a sexy weekend planned or you are snowed in for the weekend, sexy lingerie is sure to put some spice back into your life and it offers romance that will make everyone involved happy.

Remember, your choice of lingerie is important whatever the season is. The secret to feeling sexy whatever you're wearing on top is what you're actually wearing underneath! So read on and learn about the best types of lingerie to wear during winter. Some women love the sexy matching sets, or bra and panty sets. For lingerie to wear underneath your going out clothes, a nice corset will do the trick.

Think about it, for as long as I cn remember, corsets have always been sexy, both in the eyes of the observer and in the eyes of the wearer. Since corsets enclose the middle torso, it also gives you this seductive look as it pushes your chest up and sculpts the shape of your waist. There's also enough coverage to keep you warm which makes it perfect for winter! Corsets are perfect for every body type, even if you're a plus size as these are adjustable and we offer a variety of sizes.

Dress Sexy, Talk Sexy...Put On Those Bedroom Eyes!

Dress Sexy!

I say this all the time...what you wear and how you look are key. No need to over do it. A classy woman knows just how to entice a man and she certainly doesn't have to get slutty to do so. A true gentleman wants a woman that has her act together; a woman who he could be proud to be with and a woman who looks sexy, not smutty. This should go without saying when you are figuring out how to turn a man on. While most girls already know that men get turned on by what they see, few understand just how powerfully it turns guys on. How many times have you been walking down the street and your man has turned his head to see a girl wearing something very sexy? 1) If this happens and you are with a man, you aren't doing the right thing and you certainly haven't impressed him much or he would be focusing ALL of his attention on YOU! 2) Use this to your advantage to turn your boyfriend on. Men love foreplay, seduction and a sophisticated woman. Here I go again....wear your LBD (little black dress) it works like a charm ALL THE TIME and it is CLASSY if worn right and dressed with the proper accessories!

Talk Sexy!
The next part to turning a guy on is by talking sexy. You may feel a little uncomfortable talking sexy at first, but this is really key if you want to learn how to turn a guy on. To make yourself feel more comfortable, start with baby steps until you get your confidence. You can try saying things like, “I was thinking about you last night” or “Sometimes I think about you at night” or “I can’t stop thinking about what I want to do to you”. Saying these kinds of things isn’t that hard, and are a sure fire way to turn him on.

However once you are comfortable talking sexy, you can ramp it up. You can start saying things like, “I want you baby” or “I keep wondering what you would look like if you were naked” or “I want you so bad”.  Personally, I don't like being called baby. That's my personal opinion. Use your choice of words wisely, otherwise you'll be left all alone. There are a few key things to remember when talking sexy if you are trying to turn a guy on. Firstly you must always start out slowly and build it up. Next you must remember that whispering it into his ear is much better at turning him on than by saying it loudly. Last, you only need to say one or 2 sexy things to truly turn him on, there’s no need to overdo it.

 Aren't Surprises Fun!

One technique many girls leave out when learning how to turn on a guy is using surprise to your advantage. Many guys get bored easily. Hello...so do we! Why else do you see them turning their heads at every other girl when they are walking down the street with you? OK, so not all guys do this, but  many do. To stop him from getting bored and to turn him on, try surprising him instead. This could be something like calling him over to help you fix the toaster, but when he arrives, open the door dressed in lingerie. Try this... you could do something different instead, like calling over to his house and telling him you have something to show him in the bedroom, then initiating a sexy seduction with him!



Hey Sticky Fingers...Get Touchy Feely

This next part is super important when learning how to turn a guy on. Touching him may not seem like the most sexy thing ever. But when combined with talking sexy and dressing sexy, it will be amplified very strongly. If you touch him in a boring way, like on the shoulder or elbow, then most likely it will have little effect. But if you grab him around the waist or if you touch his hand, neck or face then he will definitely get turned on by it. Go slow, whats the hurry?....Go nice and easy. There is no fire to put out. Take your time, and enjoy!

Try Taking Control In The Bedroom

Let’s be honest ladies: most guys are in charge in the bedroom? Right? Nope, not always.... However something that will help you to turn a guy on is to take the lead when you are in bed together. ‘Taking Control’ can be something as simple as being on top during sex or talking a little dirty. However once you are comfortable doing this, you can take more of a lead. You can tell him what to do or what not to do. Just use commands like, “Lie Down” or “Shut Up”. However you may not be entirely comfortable doing this. If that doesn't work, use my specialty tip; handcuffs and reddi whip! Always a win/win!

Our Pets and the Holidays

Winter can be a magical time of year for family, friends, and furry companions alike. Holidays are such a joyous occasion to decorate and get festive! I love my cats and like most pet owners, we treat them like part of the family. It seems many pet owners have accepted that our pets are like children, so of course we enjoy indulging them more than ever. To keep everyone happy and safe, consider which holiday traditions might be potential hazards for your pet and please take proper precautions— before the season begins, but what about the decorations you put out specifically for the holiday season? Do pets get into these things? Oh you bet they do. They are mischievous just like children are except generally when a child takes something we find it in their room or toy box. What did you do when things turn up missing and your pet gets caught in the act as the thief? My mother has cats and they get into everything at the holidays.


Let me share a funny story with you...things turn up missing at mom and dads house all the time, this year, we had a good laugh over our nativity set. Mom has it under the Christmas tree. Nothing ever bothers it. Year after year they put it out and then pack it away for next holiday. One night mom was sitting on the couch and noticed one of the three kings and baby Jesus were MIA? The king was found under the island in the kitchen and baby Jesus under the sofa in family room, both unharmed., thank goodness! The little baby Jesus is once again swaddled in the crib glued down, along with all others. Yes, those who were lost are once again found.
How can we be sure this will not happen again next year? The next morning I woke up to the stinky smell of hot melting glue. As I came around the corner, there was my mom was bending over the manger with glue gun in hand. Now,each of the 3 Kings, Mary, Joseph and Little Baby Jesus are safe and sound and they aren;t going anywhere!

Lets face it, pets get into things on a daily basis but at the holiday season, they tend to get into even more things...Keep close eye on them they could be allergic to ingredients in human perfumes, (we get a lot of these for gifts and tend to leave them boxed under the tree) also, air fresheners, oils and candles need to be watched...but there are pet-friendly versions of some scented products. People who use those might even find themselves wheezing less, my thought have always been, what's good for pets is good for people. NOT TRUE! My sister has a chocolate lab named Riley and she thinks she is a human,...oh she'll try to eat everything in sight and she's been caught on her hind legs pulling things off the kitchen counter top. There are foods that cats and dogs simply cannot have that can be quite harmful to them, so please, although you might want to sneak the critters something yummy, ask first or you may be handed a very expensive vet bill. No chocolate, raisins or onions for doggies! These are s deadly for them.


Jingling bells and other holiday decorations can offer a host of new toys for pets to play with or explore, which may put them in danger.Pets are curious and observant.They can find things you may not even notice.

Therefore, decorate with safety in mind:

Place ornaments higher on the tree, away from playful cats or dogs.
Move surface decorations that pose a choking hazard out of reach. Bite-sized adornments, or nativity scene pieces, may cause severe internal injury if ingested.
Tie back or tape down electrical cords so animals who love to chew won’t nibble and get a jolt. Loose cords can also tangle around a pet, posing a risk of strangulation or possibly capsizing heavy decorations, such as a Christmas tree.Keep open flames inaccessible. Open chimney fires, menorahs, and other flame sources can burn animals or cause a house fire if disturbed.

Remember; During holiday feasting, pets should not participate in the gluttony. Feeding a pet scraps can cause serious stomach and intestinal upset from overfeeding or more severe illnesses if the foods are toxic to animals. Pets hanging around the kitchen should be kept away from any alcohol, chocolate, macadamia nuts, or raisins that may have been left out. For a more comprehensive list of toxic foods and poisonous house plants, visit the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center’s website at  www.aspca.org/ apcc.

Holidays,...For Some they are Merry...Others, Quite Difficult.

Do you feel that the holidays get more and more stressful each year? What to do? Take a bottle of wine (like I do) and go hit the bubbly..and by that I mean the tub! Relax and embrace the warmth penetrating down to your bones. Baths are not just for babies and toddlers anymore. Take a nice long bath in lavender. Studies have shown that not only is lavender calming, but it also reduces feeling of anger. Lavender is not just masking feelings of anger and resentment with a false sense of calm, but it can change our mood. Moreover, baths are relaxing, what can be more happy- inducing than that and a good bottle pino grigio, really?

No one wants Mr. or Ms. Crabby Pants...so please, go visit Mr. Sandman for heaven sakes! You can't possibly keep going, and going, and going...eventually it will catch up to you. Sleep, enough sleep is conducive to being happy. One more hour a week is enough to brighten eyes and pep up moods. Imagine if you can allow yourself one extra hour of sleep a night-why you will be the one singing all the Christmas carols around the office and smiling at everyone. The holidays are upon us once again. For many people, life can get in the way of our plans for a perfect celebration. Illness, death, job loss are all a part of the real world. The holidays come whether we feel like celebrating or not.

What do the holidays do to people...how do they really make us feel? The truth is that not everyone feels joyous at this time of year. It would be great if we all could but we are human. During this time of year, it is normal to think about loved ones we have lost or remember happier times in our lives. Being depressed during the holiday season is not uncommon.

The truth is...the media starts to bombard us before Halloween with the upcoming holiday season. Some people begin to panic and feel the pressure of having to create a perfect holiday atmosphere. The reason for the season is often forgotten and especially for those who suffer from depression, the holiday circus can push you further into darkness.

Remember, no one has a perfect life. Especially in this day with many people being unemployed, the economy has changed how much money people spend on the holidays. This can be an extremely tough time for them, so don't go rubbing in all the fa'la'la'la'la stuff...so NOT COOL! This can be good because it can redirect the focus of the holidays to what it should be. If you have a family, be grateful. Now we all have issues with our family from time to time but ultimately, would you rather be alone?

Being part of a family is not always easy. It definitely is something that most of us take for granted. Life can be short and that difficult person in your life will not always be a part of it. Decide for yourself whether you are going to allow them to bring you down at the holidays or whether your attitude is going to be one of accepting people for who they are.

Why is it that people act so phony at the holidays? Everyone has to put on an act. We show up at a family members home with our kids dressed nice and we look decked to the 9's but what is really going on? I'll tell you...in 5 cases out of 10 they are miserable people. They fight and yell at one another all year long, cheat, beat, drink and steal...then that one day a year they act as one happy family so everyone thinks that they have such a perfect life. Forgive me for saying this but I feel so sorry for all of you that have to do this. Why? Lets just say that I too have been down that road and if you want my opinion? Run like hell, take what you can and leave. Start over even if it means with nothing at all, at least then, you will have your honor, integrity and most especially your pride back where it belongs. Holidays are for love and family. If you can't act truly like one and be good to those around you that are actually happy,..stay the hell home and don't ruin everyone elses day!

What about if you are alone for the holidays? Well, the thought of it makes you sad, you can do something different this year. Look into the idea of volunteering at a shelter or soup kitchen for the holiday. You will not be alone and the gift of your time to help someone less fortunate can be a gift to yourself also. Having a purpose can do a lot for feeling sad during the holidays. It beats sitting home alone in front of the television or computer, or getting your ass kicked by your spouse whose had one to many bourbon and eggnog's. There are so many things to do for Christmas and other holidays that you will enjoy doing. After a while you'll wonder why you waited so long. Go to church if you feel alone. There is nowhere else others would want to be than near people who are blessed and who have the right holiday spirit.

What about for those of you are grieving the loss of a loved one? I am sorry for you loss....please, try to hold on to your memories of happy times you spent together. Feel joy that you have the memories but try to turn your focus away from wishing you would have had more time. Try not to isolate yourself during the holidays but surround yourself with supportive friends and relatives. If you need to cry, then cry. Grief is unique to each individual who go through it. There is no appropriate timetable and especially during the holidays it can be difficult, and all you can do is reach out to them and be their friend, share the love. They may not realize what you are doing at the time, but they will. It's Christmas for heaven sakes, be happy, be grateful for all that you do have, and enjoy for it only comes once a year! Get your Fa'la'la'la'la on~!

Holiday Lingerie at Simply Delicious Lingerie

It's that time of the year again....When you think about the holidays and shopping...it can be stressful. We all know that  lingerie stores is that it can be quite expensive on the wallet, so with this in mind we must always plan ahead of time how much we'll spend on a sexy outfit especially in this current economic atmosphere where life and jobs seem so unstable,...we want something that won't break the bank, that is seductive...something that's sassy and sizzles. Something that says "Hey baby I'm yours!" Isn't part of being sexy teasing just a little?

 Now the problem with shopping for sexy lingerie at stores is that these lingerie stores usually have a high overhead and expenses to take on and they passed this overhead and expenses over on to you the consumer..so naturally the bottom line is what? YOU PAY MORE! Even though you can purchase your lingerie right on the spot this still will put a very big ding in your wallet. You can buy your lingerie outside or you can do what so many others have started to do during the recession and that is shop online for sexy lingerie. Hi, I'm Michele Savin, owner of Simply Delicious Lingerie and soon to be Simply Luscious Lingerie for plus size women launching in a few months. Here's the advantage to shopping online,....You see, it's quite simple actually...a sexy lingerie store is  the online lingerie website where one doesn't really have to pay for any more expenses but a few valuable employees, equipment, office products, and some storage space. I discovered that all I really needed was a good-looking website and super great people to work with me and with those in combination, everything is possible! At Simply Delicious Lingerie that is basically what you see when you are shopping online.

When you are shopping online for sexy lingerie you have the advantage of doing comparison shopping without actually having to use gas up in your car to travel from store to store. It's all done by the click of a mouse. Now whether you are shopping for sexy high heels, sexy costumes, sexy nightgowns or any other kind of sexy lingerie you can do this all online with the click of a mouse and your handy credit card ready to make the order. You are in the privacy of your own home, or office...and you can browse my boutique everyday and any day whatever time you wish...we're always open! Honestly... It can't get easier than that can it?

This is the time of year where naughty is celebrated! No need to be nice to get yummy exotic outfits in your stocking. Though, we can find the right selection for nice girls, too! And, for those girls teetering between naughty and nice how about this hot number, the Dreamgirl - 4 Piece North Pole Hottie Cami Set  in bright red, to bring out the provocative woman you know is lurking underneath? Why not get a little frisky tonight? After all, Christmas comes but once a year, but if you are naughty enough, your mate will make certain that you have items like this all year round!

After all, isn't Naughty or Nice about being a little bit of both? At our boutique we have something to suit your needs regardless of the season. Do we really need a season to wear something sexy for our mate, partner, lover, or spouse? No! When you shop at our store, pick out that naughty or nice piece to add a little zest to the holidays...it's like a spritzer, gives your appeal a little zing! Remember, whether its the holiday season or for simply 'no reason' confidence is worn with elegance and grace, so before you slip into the lingerie, make certain that it's the piece that makes you feel like a million bucks!

We're Giving You $20

What Do I Wear to the Holiday Party?

Not sure how to dress? First off, holiday parties are a time to be festive and bold...that means showing up looking festive in your holiday attire, NOT looking like someone decorated you for Christmas with flashy bold neon sparkling colors that hurt ones eyes. Knock off the party jitters and show up looking classy. Sure it’s a great excuse to break out of your normal wardrobe rut, but think about those around you..play it fun, and safe. Want my recommendation? I have one word for this holiday season: sequins! If the idea of sequins conjures up memories of cheesy, sparkly gowns from the 80’s, relax. Designers have revamped sequins, making them more muted, but still festive while looking current and chic. And they are everywhere this season, at every price point. Today,  sequins aren't dresses that are covered in sequins, they might have just an added touch to give an accent to the dress that will catch ones eye from a distance. Let’s break down some of the common party types and what you can wear to shine, in a good way.

Black Tie

A Black Tie invitation calls for formal attire. Men wear tuxedos, women wear cocktails, long dresses or dressy evening separates. A little black dress is completely appropriate for black tie functions.
Formal usually means the same as Black Tie, but in some trendier cities like New York or Los Angeles, it could mean a black shirt, no tie with a tux. Women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates.
A White Tie or Ultra-formal invitation requires men wear full dress, with white tie, vest, shirt. Women wear long gowns.
More about dressing

Semi-Formal

Semi-Formal or After Five means that tuxes are not required, nor are long dresses. An evening wedding (after 6 PM) would still dictate dark suits for him, and a cocktail dress for her. Daytime semi-formal events mean a suit for him and an appropriate short dress or dressy suit for her.

Business Formal is the same as Semi-Formal for him, but for women it suggests that women opt for more tailored dressy suits and dresses. The idea is to still be business appropriate -- which means nothing too sexy or slinky - but still dressed up.

Cocktail Attire

Cocktail Attire means short, elegant dresses for her and dark suits for him. The little black dress (my all time favorite) is the ultimate cocktail dress and appropriate for most special occasions.Wear it with very little accessories, a necklace and classy earrings that dangle a bit. Make sure that you have the heels to accent the dress as it seals the deal.

Informal

Informal is often interpreted as the same as Casual but it actually calls for the same dress as Semi-Formal - dark suits for him, short dresses for her -- especially when associated with a wedding or special event. Ladies, just know how short 'short' means? Don't got slutty to a party. Have some style. If you are single looking for a possible potential date or hook up, short and creepy is not going to win you the eye of a man who seeks style, class and a touch of sophistication. Men want extraordinary gals, not a tramp. If you are going to dress the part of class, you better be able to back it up. If you dress like a two bit whore, you'll attract the wrong kind of man and he certainly won't respect you.

Festive Attire

Festive Attire is usually seen around the holidays, with the mood of the party being Informal or Semi-Formal. For her, it means to choose looks with a bit of sparkle or holiday bent (i.e. a beaded sweater with black pants, a red silk blouse with a black skirt). Or a party dress/cocktail dress with sparkle and glitter that defines you and your classy look.

Casual

Dressy Casual calls for dressed-up versions of casual looks. For him, it could be trousers and a sportcoat, for her a dressy pants look. Jeans, shorts, T-shirts and other casual looks are not appropriate for Dressy Casual.
Casual generally means anything goes (including jeans, sneakers, etc.) If the host or hostess wants a more dressed-up approach, it would be dictated on the invite.
And when in doubt about what to wear, remember you can always ask the host or hostess what they expect party guests to wear.

Pole Dancing

To those of you who ask, what is Pole Dancing exactly? Allow us to share with you our findings and why it is that Simply Delicious Lingerie and Simply Luscious Lingerie is following this new wave to many.

Pole dance is a form of performing art, a combination of dance and gymnastics. It involves dancing and performing acrobatic tricks with a vertical pole and is an increasingly popular form of fitness and dance, practised by many enthusiasts in gyms or dedicated dance studios. A wide range of amateur and professional competitions are held in many countries around the world. We got to learn more about the true meaning of pole dancing and the art of it when Simply Delicious Lingerie owner Michele Savin decided to advertise in their magazine and get involved in selling private dancer poles and apparel for pole dancing.

Before the mid 2000s, pole dance mainly took place in strip clubs, and most people thought that it was something dirty found only in strip joints. No way...not at all. This is going to be something big and it is growing every day. Since then, promoters of pole dance fitness competitions have been trying to change peoples’ perception of pole dance and to promote it as a legitimate form of dance and acrobatics. Pole dance has furthermore been influenced by Chinese pole, a form of acrobatics that is performed in cabaret/circus and stage performances in a non-erotic environment. Pole dance in competitions is increasingly performed in a non-erotic way and is combined with a range of dance styles or gymnastics.

Pole dance requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance. In a strip club setting, pole dance is often performed less gymnastically and striptease, Go-Go,and/or lap dancing is a part of the performance. The pole dancer(s) may simply hold the pole or move around it without performing acrobatic tricks. Proper pole dance involves athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions. Upper body and core strength are required in order to attain proficiency, and rigorous training is necessary.

Pole dance is now regarded as a recognized form of exercise that women world wide take part in.

By removing the layers under which we hide, we force ourselves to be exposed.  All that is left is the basic element of our being.When I first entered the world of pole dancing, it was simply referred to as pole acrobatics.The outfit meant nothing – heels, no heels, clothes or no clothes. My identification with the pole was one of pure physical strength. I took my armor that I carried with me throughout my life and simply put it on the pole." READ THE REST OF HER STORY; http://www.verticalartandfitness.com/magazine/

We at Simply Delicious Lingerie sought out what true pole dancing was in a unique form of art; here's just a little bit of what we found. This is a true art and it takes skill and a lot of practice.

Sex Appeal

SEX appeal. What is it really? It is that much-desired special something that makes heads turn and hearts throb. That certain aura that emanates so strongly from a man that a woman gets weak-kneed, and that sensual femaleness that can make a guy forget his prior commitments.It's got power all right. That may be why you're reading this article. We all want to have sex appeal. We might not agree on exactly what the term means, but if someone accused us of having it, we wouldn't argue with them.When something is sexy, it has sexual connotations. This means that it stimulates sexual appetite or hunger. Sex appeal means that something has a physical attractiveness and attracts members of the opposing sex. Surely you've felt this before?

If you have sex appeal, it means there's something about you that makes persons of the opposite sex want to be as close to you as possible.  There is something so attractive about you that they want to bond with you.

But this is where we have to think very carefully. Clearly, we like the idea of persons of the opposite sex finding us so appealing that they want to become one with us. Wow! What a compliment! But what part of you do they want to become one with—just your body, or your body, mind, and soul?  In the larger scheme of things, our bodies are but a small part of the totality of us.

Our minds are thousands of times more complex and unique, and what we call our souls are the deepest parts of us, the parts that are so central to our being that their value to us is beyond words, beyond measurement. Most of us are just beginning to understand our souls a little bit. We have flashes of awareness of how unique our souls are, how they contain all the really precious parts about us, and we literally shudder at the idea of playing fast and loose with this unbelievably masterful part of our identity. We're the only person in the history of the world with the soul we have, and if we gained the whole world, but lost our soul, we would have lost everything.My personal opinion is that you must first love yourself, for if you do, then all else will fall into place.

I feel most importantly, that sex appeal isn't something to labor over. The hard work is done when you build your self-confidence, learn to love others for who they are, and find your purpose in this world. Sex appeal tends to exude as the fruit of your ongoing personal development. So the best advice after all this advice is to not try too hard to have sex appeal. Provided you've learned to love yourself and others well, it'll come naturally, just give it time. Get to know yourself and find out who you are and what it is that you seek? Find within yourself class, style and poise. Read up on current events and social society. That is a portion of sex appeal that most men find erotic and mind boggling...yes, every man wants a woman with intelligence and a sense of humor combined.

Advertise your Business for ADULTS ONLY!

Hello Everyone!  I  would like to take a few minutes to talk to you about a new company that I was recently introduced to  that benefits not only the adult consumer/buyer, rather also the business owner whose business is a little too risque’ for Groupon, Living Social Deals and so many others. I’m here to discuss a new company called ‘Rated R Deals.’

Meet  Allan Heath, owner of ‘Rated R Deals.’ Allan and I were connected through LinkedIn. Allen is a 32 year old internet marketing consultant from Toronto Canada. You may ask “Why did Allan start this business RatedRDeals.com?” That answer is quite simple actually… Allan, a business savvy gentleman a lot like myself would like to give the public what so many other companies refuse to allow for a variety of reasons…adult fun.


Allan got tired of opening emails day in and day out only to see the same ole’… same ole’ coupons for things he had absolutely no interest in. There was nothing exciting that really caught his eye so he created ‘Rated R Deals” with the idea in mind that he would be able to cater to every day adults and their individual needs. Currently his focus has been on products, services and content from the adult industry. Thus far this business has been based on products and content from the adult industry, however the original plan included creating deals with night clubs, head shops, online gaming/casino/poker, etc.

From there Allan built this business based on his knowledge and wit to create an image that would be designed entirely for the adult industry that was seeking a way of advertising and increasing exposure, growing their own businesses and developing business relationships in a network that is like that of no other, a one of a kind so to speak market. No longer are you scolded for owning a business that is designed for the adult world. Let this be your time to shine.

Simply Luscious Lingerie...We're Here and We're HOT!

Recently I asked...how do most women shop for lingerie? If you are anything like me, your answer will be the same as mine was...Some of you may be quite surprised BUT did you know that 72% of the women surveyed recently stated that they shopped online for all of their intimate woman's apparel needs. First, remember to find something that makes you feel confident. This feeling will stay with you for as long as you wear the lingerie, therefore do not opt for something too extravagant just because you want to try something new. If you do not feel comfortable in it, it is simply not worth it. For women that want to impress their partners through sexy lingerie take your time to discover what makes you feel the most confident and sexy!

Over the centuries, women have used lingerie in many different ways. Corsets were in fashion up until about 60 years ago and women would bind themselves into corsets to get what used to be called an "hourglass figure." It was desirable, in the early part of the 20th century, for women to have small waists. For this reason, girls were often put into corsets at a young age so that their waists would not get large. It was uncomfortable, unhealthy and restricting to say the least. Nowadays, women like lingerie for the way it feels on their skin as well as the way it makes them feel about themselves. Some people tend to choose special costumes to attract their lovers' attention. As a result, many adult lingerie kinds such as the sexy nurse outfit, Christmas lingerie and even the cop costumes are becoming popular.

Order online. Simply Delicious Lingerie and it's new sister company Simply Luscious Lingerie that launched later last spring 2012 spring is the lingerie stores to shop. We work with several customers and Tantalizing Tina has the Q&A Fashionista column where she responds daily to both women and men whose needs and concerns are viewed and addressed. Not every one wants to go into a shopping mall or store to shop for something that so many still find provocative and shy purchasing. We make it quite easy for you and we welcome your business. We run specials and supply our customer with coupons where they can save additional monies in comparison to all other lingerie boutiques. In my opinion, the easiest way to find plus size lingerie is to shop over the Internet.

First, find your size. Use your measurements to determine the size that you will order. On average, many plus size lingerie pieces will come in 1X - 4X. Accentuate the bust. Most plus size lingerie pieces will draw attention to the plus size woman's robust breasts. Make sure that the lingerie offers you adequate support as well. Choose flattering styles. Find lingerie that complements your figure and hides any flaws. Long silk gowns, cami sets, and cat suits are designs that look good on almost any body shape. Pick simple and sexy prints. Avoid the plus size lingerie that comes in floral prints. Instead opt for sexier designs, such as leopard and black lace.

 No longer will the plus size woman have to pay a fortune for their intimate apparels, nor will they have to sift through racks and racks to find plus size lingerie in a store designed for the moderate woman who wears a S.M.L. We at Simply Luscious Lingerie searched high and low for the right distributors to assist us in selecting the perfect lingerie to fit your every desire and need. Shop with us won't you and become out extended family in the future. Simply Luscious Lingerie...where we fulfill every woman's fantasy, on every man's budget! www.SimplyLusciousLingerie.com

Family, Stress, and the Holidays

The holidays are the time for giving and they present many opportunities to bond with family, and that's a good thing,...but this time of year can also present significant stress, particularly when family conflict arises. Some conflict can come from having to decide which relatives to see, if any. Here are some ways to divide up your time over the holidays and handle conflicts and holiday stress that may arise. So how do you 'de-stress' the holiday atmosphere?

The great thing about the holiday season...besides the gifts...is having the chance to spend valuable time with our loved ones, show our appreciation for one another and overall, give thanks.Holiday traditions are important in every family, regardless of religion or how you choose to observe the holiday season. They provide meaningful and cherished lifelong memories and more so, an opportunity to spend quality time together.Family traditions can be as simple as you make them, but even so, they can turn into stressful events, and they shouldn't. Here are some ways to relieve tension at the holidays and things you should expect; 

• Host Celebrations At Your House. If the stress of traveling each year is more than you'd like to handle, you may want to have family over to your home for the holidays. This is also a good solution when you have too many groups or relatives to take turns seeing: invite everyone to celebrate together, and you will get to see everyone more often. While this won't work in every situation, it can build bonds between groups of relatives that may not know one another very well.

• Take Turns with Relatives. If you and your spouse both want to celebrate with your families of origin, if you're dealing with a divorce situation where not everybody wants to celebrate together or if you just have a lot of family, it can be stressful deciding who to see, and when. Taking turns is an easy solution.Then you can eventually see everybody.

• Just Say No. If seeing family causes you great amounts of stress each year, it's OK to say no sometimes. Celebrating with just your partner or kids can be a wonderful alternative to seeing people who make you feel consistently stressed.

• Be Prepared to Encounter a Little Conflict. If you usually have conflict when you get together with your family, it's a good idea to be prepared for it. I'm not suggesting that you go looking for trouble, but rather, approach the situation with a sense of realism. If your mother always criticizes your appearance or your brother always makes rude jokes, don't expect them to change their habits; just have a sense of humor about it and remind yourself what you love about them.

If stress consumes too much of you and your holiday spirit, you need to re-evaluate things, because it's supposed to be the time of year to celebrate, not pull one an others hair out in grandmas kitchen drinking eggnog. Remember what the true meaning of this special holiday is and why we celebrate it.If you have forgotten my friend, you need to get back to the basics.

 Christmas and the holidays have a variety of meanings and depending on the family and their customs, we all celebrate a little differently. Regardless of your religion, or what holiday it is that you are celebrating, remember...family is what brings and keeps everyone together, so don't make it stressful.

Be happy, enjoy the season and be grateful for all that you have, for so many people don't have family and would give anything to be in your shoes right now. Be thankful and smile during the holidays and appreciate all that you have. What you have may seem like nothing to you, but for that one person that you may pass on the street, or in the employee cafeteria that you see everyday but never speak to, or that man or woman at church that doesn't have anyone to celebrate with and sits all alone year after year, that smile will mean the world to them. Give the gift that costs nothing, that doesn't need to be wrapped in fancy tissue or decorated boxes. Love one an other...for that my friend is a gift that is priceless.

Definitely Naughty!

Making the Perfect Martini

Apple Martinis are my favorite drink. For years my friends and I went to the club to enjoy one an others company, to relax, discuss our weekly schedules, family, personal lives and to have our favorite martini.
 A splash of dry vermouth, two shots of gin, an olive or two – and your classic Martini is ready to serve,...but we don't like simple, and we surely didn't like the same martinis. Each drink that one drinks quotes who you are by class. Sooo what class are you? Do you drink martinis? Drinking a cocktail doesn't make you classy, make certain that you can back it up. The martini epitomizes style and sophistication; it is the most glamorous of all cocktails. If you snap your gum and twirl your hair the martini is NOT a drink for you.

Making a mean Martini
A traditional martini is made with gin and dry white vermouth, topped with a crisp green olive. Gin is strong liquor flavored with juniper berries and is generally used as a base for making other drinks. Vermouth, the other key ingredient of a martini, is a fortified dry or sweet wine flavored with various herbs, seeds, and plants. The amount of vermouth used in the modern martini has become considerably less. Martini connoisseurs would know that the dryness of the martini is determined by the amount of vermouth added. The drier the martini, the lesser the vermouth used to make it.


The classic Martini
A classic martini is prepared with equal parts of gin and dry vermouth. The key to a well-made martini is to chill the bottle of gin, the cocktail glass, and the shaker in the freezer prior to mixing. Some prefer to use cold vermouth, but tradition calls for it to be kept at room temperature. Ice is often dismissed as insignificant while making a drink. However, it is intrinsic to a martini because it helps combine the gin and vermouth.

The ‘shaken, not stirred’ martini ordered by James Bond raked up a controversy as to whether the drink should be shaken or stirred. Martini purists claim that shaking the drink ‘bruises’ the liquor, as the ice melts quickly, making the martini slightly weak. Also, shaking the drink is said to make it cloudy instead of clear. Clear drinks are always subject to a gentle stirring, so you do not lose the original flavor and yet succeed in blending all the ingredients. The classics that goes into making a good martini are often overlooked. The long-stemmed martini glass, often called the “classic cocktail” glass, adds an elegant touch to the drink itself. An authentic martini glass will hold 900 milliliters of liquid. A good cocktail shaker or mixer is a necessary tool behind the bar. There are three types of cocktail shakers – Cobbler, Pitcher and Boston. The cocktail shaker serves not just to mix the drink, but also to cool it quickly.


Sprucing up the Martini
There are primarily two variations of the classic martini: the Sweet Martini in which one uses sweet red vermouth and the Perfect Martini prepared with equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth. Vodka has become a common substitute for gin although purists frown upon this practice. A vodka martini, however, is as enjoyable as a gin martini and is sometimes infused with various fruity flavors.

While there are hundreds of evolving recipes for martinis, there are a few that are frequently-ordered. The ‘dirty martini’ is a popular version wherein olive brine is added for that extra zing. A Gibson is a typical dry martini garnished with pickled onions instead of olives. A gin martini prepared without ice but by using chilled ingredients is known as ‘naked martini’. For an ‘in-and-out’ martini, a small amount of vermouth is poured into the glass, swirled around and the excess is disposed. The Cosmopolitan martini has a combination of various fruit juices, the most common ones being orange and cranberry.

The image conjured up by the word martini is incomplete without the quintessential green olive. It is the Spanish olive that is commonly used in a martini. Different martinis call for an assortment of unique garnishes like lime, lemon twist, orange, peppers, stuffed olives, anchovies, etc.


Martinis today have become a fusion of various liqueurs, fresh fruit juices, and enticing flavors. Thanks to experimental martini epicureans all across the world, we are exposed to a variety of zestful martinis. After all, who can refuse a delectable Chocolate Martini – a wishful blend of chocolate and liquor? You may keep your life private, but what you drink says a lot about who you are and tells all the naked truth...

How Do You Describe Yourself as Sexy?

sex·y [ séksee ]   

1. arousing desire: arousing or intended to arouse sexual desire
2. aroused: sexually aroused
3. appealing: appealing because of being new, interesting, or trendy

The dictionary says that sexy is described as all of the above. At Simply Delicious Lingerie we make the statement that you don't have to be thin or beautiful to be sexy. Women are beautiful in a variety of shapes, sizes and races. Sexy is described and perceived by many in moderation. The truth is, society has really customized what sexy should be when it fact society should be asking women "what makes you feel sexy?" There are a variety of definitions. Some people have other opinions, however, sexy can mean a lot of things. How do you describe yourself being sexy?

Sexing up your style is a great mood booster. Are you a sexy fashionista? If you feel down or depressed and need to spice up your look, consider the sexy route! You can also increase your sex appeal by changing your look for that special party or night out. Follow these steps to look sexy. Sexy isn't just about wearing high heels and a low-cut blouse. Sexy is pure confidence and then everything else follows. Feeling sexy comes from within and when you truly feel sexy, you can exude it. In order to feel sexy about yourself, you have to have self-esteem.

When you feel beautiful you naturally boost your confidence. When you feel sexy you release endorphins that put you in a good mood. So go ahead and feel great about yourself and you'll see a difference in all of the relationship in your life. If you were to look up sexy in the dictionary, you might see a celebrities picture by the definition. What makes this particular woman sexy? Not only is she gifted with great looks, she appears to know a secret that no one else does. Whats my theory? Simple is better.

When it comes to age we all seem to have a feeling as if we have lost our sexiness somewhere. Ladies, don't feel like this...sexy doesn't die. We think that as we get older we need to 'turn it off' when in fact, as we get older we should be turning up the heat. There are no age limits to sexy, and if there are someone should take a lookie at Jane Fonda, Raquel Welch, and Christie Brinkley, they know how to rock their age and their sex appeal. As we get older, we still tend to look for approval and question our appeal. It is something that women tend to dwell on and ask their significant others daily if they still look sexy, but why do we need someone else to tell us how sexy we are. There are some ways that we can do this in a tasteful manor that can make our sexiness soar.

Do you what to bring sexy back? On the contrary to what you may think, try these out for size:

Dress sexy
This does not mean that you have to be wearing a tiny mini skirt or a low cut shirt. No one wants a hoochie mama., and it's certainly not classy. There is still some clothes on the market that are sexy and they do not show off all your goodies. Instead think outside of your zone. Each women has a zone when it comes to clothing. There are things that we wear everyday and there are things that we say oh no I will not wear that. Instead you can go for the shirt that is a little tighter and not have to cover it up with a cardigan.You do not have to cover up your curves be proud of them no matter where they are located at. We are so worried about what people think of us through our clothing that we do not reach out and wear what we really want to wear. There is a line between sexy and trashy and so there is some wiggle room when it comes to dressing sexy. If it makes you feel good to wear it do not let anyone tell you differently. I've found that sometimes, by covering up more of you...it makes a man admire you all the more.


Wear Makeup
This does not mean that you have to put on so much makeup that you look like you might be ready to go stand on a corner. Personally, I prefer very little make up. No need to over do it. My grandmother used to always say " A man should be able to recognize a woman with or without makeup on. Adding a little makeup to you wardrobe can make all the difference on how you feel. Many women will find that their is a big difference from the way you feel when you are not wearing makeup to putting on a little during the day. It will give you the sense that you are going out or gives your that little feminine taste that you are looking for. Try and put on some eye shadow and mascara everyday and see how you feel afterwards.


Take Pictures
Taking pictures of yourself can be a fun way to make yourself sexy again. Do not pick out everything that is wrong with the picture, instead pick out all the good qualities. Look for your quality attributes. If you are feeling a little bit frisky it might be fun for you and your partner to take some special pictures alone at home. Make sure not to put these pictures were anyone can find them and also make sure that this is someone that you plan on being with for along time, so that they do not find their way onto the Internet, but this is a good way for you and your partner to do a little exploring on each other to make you feel sexy again.


Take A Compliment
When was the last time you were called pretty, or sexy? We love it when someone tells us we look pretty, or sexy. What woman doesn't? When someone says that you look nice, take that complement and run! Sometimes we have a tendency to shoot down anyone that says we look nice and in turn we are saying I do not feel good about myself and neither should you.Feeling sexy also comes from the inside and so if you do not feel sexy you will not let anyone say that you are.
