Lubricant Review and Giveaway! (Sponsored)

As you know I've been working with the amazing people at Zestra to tell you about their new line of products that make sex more pleasureable for women.

I already told you about Zestra Essential Arousal Oils - which REALLY spice up your nether regions (in a good way.)

And now I want to tell you about Zestra GLIDE - the new lubricant from Zestra.

It's designed to work with the Essential Arousal Oils or alone.

My husband and I tried it out this weekend and it was fantastic.  Some of our toys require a little help in the lubrication department and this worked wonders!

It even lasted long after we'd misplaced our toys and found each other.

If you're looking for a lubricant with all natural ingredients, I would encourage you to try Zestra GLIDE!

And now, 2 lucky readers can WIN their own bottle of Glide!

Just leave a comment answering the following question and you're automatically entered to win:

What is the most romantic place you would like to go to?

A few weeks ago I told you about a new product called Zestra.  It is a feminine arousal product that promises to bring back her enthusiasm between the sheets.

This weekend the husband and I had a chance to try it out and the following is my honest review:

We woke up Saturday morning after the kids had already gotten up and gone downstairs.

He got up to go to the bathroom and on his way back to bed I asked him to get the bottle of Zestra out of the top drawer of my dresser.  He handed it to me and I read the directions... "Dispense 3-4 pumps into your hand and apply to all of your girl bits.  Wait 5 minutes and prepare to have your head explode." (I may be paraphrasing.)

I dispensed.  I applied.  I told my husband we had to wait five minutes.  "You don't have 5 minutes." he answered back.

I waited, I concentrated, and I didn't feel anything.  Well, except for my husband trying to urge time forward at the 4 minute mark.

Still nothing significant at the 5 minute mark but my husband was beyond ready.  Maybe some of that lotion had splashed onto him?

Somewhere around the 6 minute mark I felt everything start to tingle.  I'm not talking about a slow burn like a certain "warming lotion" I've tried before.  This was a tingle that felt like there was a vibrator present - even though there wasn't.

It was a little distracting - what with the other BUSINESS that was happening - but we made a position switch that augmented the tingling sensation and eliminated the distraction.

So, did my head explode? Absolutely.  Was it entirely due to the Zestra?  The health of my marriage requires me to say, no, not entirely.

So what do I think?

I think that the lotion certainly gets the nerves in her sensitive areas firing on all cylinders.  I think that if she has time to really get into the sensation, it will definitely help put her in the mood.

I think that 10 minutes of foreplay will certainly give him plenty of time to become aroused.

I think that any time two people have an honest discussion about what they want, enter a bedroom looking forward to trying something new and spend ten minutes focused on her body, magical things happen.

I think that sometimes after having a baby or some other significant life change, we need a little help getting back into a groove in the bedroom.  We think that we don't need it and that we can live without it and that our marriage can live without it.

And maybe those things are all true, but we don't have to live without it.  And neither does our spouse.  There are lotions and potions and all sorts of things that we can try to rediscover intimacy.  They don't all have to work for us.  Some things will work for one couple and won't work for another.  The key is to keep trying to find the thing that works for you - and for your partner.

Do I think that Zestra is going to revolutionize sex for everyone? No. 

But it may enhance it for you.

 As a full time working mother trying to squeeze in workouts and blogging, I don't have a lot of extra time for pampering myself.  Let's be honest, I barely have time to brush my teeth and shower.  Drying my hair is a luxury reserved for weekends, date night and corporate meetings.

Barring that, I can usually be found wearing jeans, crocs, a ponytail and no makeup.

Until recently.

The other day I was picking my daughter up from school and I bumped into my friend.  She was telling me a story but I interupted her to say, "You look great!"

She laughed at me and said,  "I'm wearing eyeliner because I'm freaking exhausted and I figured it would distract from the dark, puffy circles under my eyes.  I guess that says how I normally look!"

She was right, it was the eyeliner. 

Since then I've been making an effort to wear eyeliner whenever I leave the house.  I typically don't wear eyeliner unless I wear shadow and mascara because they eyeliner looks too dark without shadow and shadow lightens my lashes so I need mascara... at least that's what I used to think.

The other day I bought a lighter brown shade of eyeliner that blends in better.  Now I can get away with a little eyeliner to bring out my eyes without spending 5 minutes "putting on my face."

It's made a huge difference in how I feel when I go out.

The other thing that I've been doing lately is making sure to put on lipstick whenever I get into my car.  It's not a big deal but it means that whenever I go out I have lipstick on and people have commented, "You look great!"

Besides, it makes me rub my lips together which helps me remember to smile - and really, that's the best accessory you can wear!

(Shown below: my GOTO lipstick, Clinique Black Honey - it's not a real shade, it just makes your lips POP!  Try it today!)

Tell My Mother I Died In My Sleep...

Growing up, I spent the summers with my grandparents at the beach.  The beach is great - most of the time - but when it's cold or rainy there isn't much to do so we would go to the library and take out lots of books.  When I was about 14 I found, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I know you're probably thinking, "Roald Dahl!  I LOVED Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!"

Well so did I, my friend, SO DID I.

I loved it so much that I went on to read Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator and then everything else I could find by Roald Dahl - including a grouping of 4 short stories called "Switch Bitch" that were originally written for Playboy. 

You might think that when I realized that these stories MAY not be appropriate for a girl of 14, that I returned the book, unread.

But then again, you probably know better.

One of the stories was about a doctor who was researching why pheromones caused immediate sexual responses in animals but not in humans. He thought that perhaps we had lost the ability to actually emit and process the appropriate human pheromone.  He hired young, able bodied assistants and tested his creations on them.  Finally, he discovered a pheromone that made them stop whatever they were working on to have mad, animalistic, sex.

Unfortunately, in the version I read, the doctor - the only one who knew the formula - was killed when he accidentally dropped a vial of the pheromone - which broke - causing him to attack his rather portly receptionish - much to her enjoyment and his ultimate demise (heart attack.)

Obviously 14 year old girls reading their first bit of smut are impressionable and this story stuck with me where, I confess, finer literature has not.

When I first heard about Zestra, this is what I thought about, that it was some miracle elixir that would have men and women expiring in bedrooms across the country.

And I thought that the LAST thing my mother needed to hear about me was that I died 'Doing it.'

Although I can't believe she would be surprised.  -  Jealous maybe.

In any case, Zestra is safe, and if you've been looking for something to help put you - or your wife - in the mood it may be just the thing.

Zestra is an oil that increases arousal, desire and satisfaction.  You can use it with a partner or alone.

It's hormone free and it's doing great things for a lot of couples.  So if you're unhappy with your sex life or if you're unhappy because your partner is unhappy with your sex life, why don't you give Zestra a try?

And now, for a limited time, you can get a discount.

Remember the Wasted Orgasm Theory?  Every orgasm you don't have is lost forever.  Isn't it worth a try?

And if you're such a firecracker that he DOES expire? At least he'll have a smile on his face.

Note: This post is sponsored by Zestra but that doesn't mean I think it's any less fabulous or that you don't deserve to have mind-blowing orgasms. Love, Kit.

You all know that I'm a Diet Coke addict.  I'm beyond hope because I know it's a problem and I don't even care.  On the day the doctor's tell me I have stomach cancer and 3 days to live I'll be all, "Well I guess I only have to buy 3, 12-paks this week then."

A guy I work with drinks coffee.  Community Dark Roast.  I didn't understand that "Community" is actually a brand name for the LONGEST time.  He did a HUGE favor for me at work and I repaid him by getting him a 12 month subscription to their coffee.  He did another huge favor for me so I'm thinking of getting him this Delonghi Coffee Machine.  Do any of you have it?  Thoughts?

And then another friend of mine bought a juicer.  He went through a lot of carrots but never turned orange (like I was hoping...)

Last year I was travelling with a man who was talking about buying a juicer.  We were on a plane and the woman beside us jumped in to tell us HOW MUCH SHE LOVED her juicer.  She was drinking parsley and some other nonsense juice every day for breakfast.  My friend started asking her tons of questions.  She raved about the juice, the results, and on and on and on until it came out that she'd only been on this regimen for 3 days and yes, she WAS actually getting sick of parsley.

I was going to post a link to the fruit juicer my friend ended up buying but then I found this site and OMG! Do you see the DONUT MAKER?  Can you say APPLE CIDER DONUTS?

The only thing that beats apple cider donuts is apple cider donuts with Diet Coke!
