HNT: Rhinestones
I love collars, but sometimes I like more of a choker. This one is black satin, with a rhinestone buckle, and I think it looks pretty nice. Let me know what you think!

Light, Natural, Moisturizing, and Great To Use
While I’ve found several lubricants that I enjoy and that work well, I love to try new ones to see if I’ll have a new favorite, or at least another option for an acceptable one. As natural as possible is always good, so I was happy to receive Blossom Organics Natural Moisturizing Lubricant from Good Vibrations to take for a test drive.
Blossom Organics comes in a purple and white cardboard box, along with a large card with more information on the product. The box also has this information. Inside the box is the tube of lubricant.
The 4 ounce tube is also purple and white, and cleanly designed. It looks like a tube of regular moisturizing lotion or hair care product. It’s suitable to keep in the medicine cabinet or out on the dresser – the logo is larger and towards the top of the tube, while the lubricant wording is smaller and farther down the tube.
I like this style of tube (although I admit I prefer pump tops), where the cap is actually on the bottom. This makes it easy to dispense when the product is running out, without having to squeeze or mangle the bottle to get the product out. The flip cap is easy to open and close.
This lubricant has no scent, and is also flavorless: two good properties. It’s pH balanced to mimic the natural chemistry of a woman, and it has no parabens, silicones, glycerin, petrochemicals, hormones, artificial dyes, flavorings, or fragrances. It’s also non-irritating (although if you experience any discomfort or irritation you should discontinue use) and latex friendly (so it’s safe to use with condoms).
The ingredients are: Organic aloe barbadensis leaf extract, sorbitol, hydroxyethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, organic stevia rebaudiana extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, organic extracts of paeonia albiflora (peony) root, passiflora incarnate flower.
I found it interesting that stevia was an ingredient – it seems that the sweetener I use in my coffee is showing up all over the place! I think this was probably added to make the taste this lube might have disappear.
While the packaging states that this is a water-based lubricant, water itself isn’t listed as one of the ingredients which I also found interesting.
The lube itself is thicker than a liquid, but runnier than a true gel. If you place a pea-sized drop on your finger it will slowly run down, but stays in place reasonably well. It’s not greasy or tacky and just has a wet feel. It stays wet a long time without getting really sticky, and it’s easy to clean up.
So, Did It Work? I liked this lube for vaginal use, whether with toys or with my partner. It added lubrication nicely, and I didn’t have to reapply it during a session. I liked that it didn’t have any scent, and also that it had no taste. I didn’t care for it for anal use, as I thought it was a bit too thin and didn’t seem to work as well as other lubes I have (that are thicker).
I like the flip top, and the fact that the cap is on the bottom. The only thing I didn’t care for is when you dispense it some of the lube ends up around the hole making it a bit messy, and I feel like I’m wasting some when it ends up being wiped off the cap.
Overall, I found this a good lubricant for vaginal use, and would recommend it.

Come On Baby, Light My Fire
February is the time for love, with Valentine’s Day a celebration of lovers, both new and old. As such, it was a fitting time to read the SexIs Naked Book Club selection Passion.
Passion (Erotic Romance for Women) is a collection of 20 stories revolving about the passion a man and woman can feel towards each other. Whether old or new, fresh or rekindled, the feelings are strong and overpowering.
This book is an oversized paperback with a glossy cover. Containing 226 pages, it was published in 2010 by Cleis press and is edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel. In addition to the stories, the book contains an introduction by Rachel where she talks about what passion can mean, an about the authors section, and a few pages about the editor.
Rachel is based in New York, and has edited over 30 books of erotica. Her stories have appeared in over 100 anthologies, including this collection. She’s a columnist for SexIs Magazine, the Senior editor at Penthouse Variations, and has written for publications including Playgirl, Penthouse, the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Post, Newsday, and the Huffington Post. She’s also appeared on television, on the Martha Stewart Show and Family Business. She writes a blog, and has been the host of the In the Flesh Erotic Reading Series since October 2005.
The stories here all embrace the passion two people can feel. Sometimes the passion is newfound and fresh, sometimes it’s ongoing, and sometimes it’s discovered anew and rekindled in long relationships. Both single couples and married couples (and even relative strangers) find intense encounters (and even a daydream) in the pages of this book. The stories are a mix between first and third person tellings, and some deal with different cultures and nationalities. All of the couples are heterosexual.
I enjoyed almost all of the stories in this collection, but several stood out from the others for me:
“Big Bed Sex” by Donna George Storey Staying at the Beverly Hills hotel for the first time, in a room her sister has splurged for while in town for a reading, she wishes her husband could be there. The room calls out for wild, passionate sex ,and they’ve always had hot and wild sex in hotel rooms. He’s tied up in business meetings in another town so she reminisces about past encounters in hotel beds. She sends him a picture of the Arabian love nest she finds herself in. He can’t resist, and joins her for a passionate romp (or two).
“Dear in the Headlights” by Angela Caperton It’s been five months since she and her husband have “done the dirty”, and she is ready to spend a well-thought out and passionate night with her overworked husband. Fate intervenes when he runs off the road on his way home and has to wait for 2 hours for the tow truck to arrive. Cass goes out to meet him and they have wild sex on his car before the tow arrives and they head to their planned rendezvous at the Hilton.
“Third Time’s the Charm” by Charlene Teglia Lynn and Nick have broken up but find themselves stuck in an elevator. The phone doesn’t work, and neither has a cell, but they find a way to rekindle the passion of their relationship in the dark confines of their trap. Is it fate that brought them together, or has Nick arranged this moment to bring them back together for another try?
My favorite story by far was “Five Senses” by Rachel Kramer Bussel. Sometimes familiarity brings rote sex and monotony, and the passion needs to be rekindled. They’re planning to celebrate her husband’s latest booking, but instead of going out, he tells her they’re going to stay in, and all of her senses come alive with the evening he has planned to relight the fire of their relationship.
This is a great collection, and one you’ll enjoy if you like erotica that deals with passionate loving couples (whether they’ve recently met or have been together for years). They may even inspire you with ways to add some extra passion in your own love life. This February selection of the SexIs Naked Reader Book Club was discussed on the EdenFantasys forum, and can be picked up at EdenFantasys by clicking the widget below. Watch for the next Book Club meeting coming soon!

I Just Want Your Extra Time and Your Kiss
Can a girl have enough vibrators? I can’t. I love trying out new ones to see if I’ll stumble upon a new favorite. As part of the Cal Exotics Sexpert program, I get to try a new one about every month, and this month I received the Sweetheart Vibe Pleasure Kiss to review.
The Pleasure Kiss comes in an easy to open plastic case. The toy is visible through the front, and the back (on the insert) has a picture of the product as well as information on the features and use. Inside the case is the vibrator and a small sheet on general battery insertion.
This vibrator is a medium pink color, the shade of bubble gum. It’s accented with a matte silver band above and around the buttons. The insertable portion and the buttons are made out of TPR, while the base is made of plastic. The vibrator has no smell or taste, and is hypoallergenic and phthalates-free. The tip and shaft are matte and have a bit of drag when you run your finger down them. A faint seam runs up the sides, but it’s barely visible and can’t be felt by either your finger or when in use.
The Pleasure Kiss is 8” long, with about 4 1/2" insertable. The tip is curved for g-spot stimulation. On the underside of the tip is a pad about 1 1/4" tall and 1” wide, which is slightly indented and filled with raised, soft nubs for extra stimulation. The shaft features 4 rings that stand out from the shaft for added stimulation during thrusting. At its widest, the shaft is 1 1/2" in diameter, so it’s not too thin to be effective. The shaft is mostly firm, but has just a bit of flex to it. The tip also flexes, but not a lot.
The plastic base matches the shade of the TPR and has a shine to it, although the silver accents are dull. On the front are two heart shaped buttons. The top one, which is upside down, is the on/off button, and has the standard power logo in its center. The bottom button has a lightning bolt and allows you to cycle through the vibration patterns. Both buttons are easy to push. The bottom of the base has a curve and a hole that goes in it. While you can’t stand the Pleasure Kiss up, you could thread a rope or cord through the bottom if you wanted to hang this.
The battery compartment is accessed by twisting the bottom of the base about 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Two AA batteries go in + side first. There’s a clear plastic “tube” inserted in the compartment, which makes the Pleasure Kiss quiet, but also really holds on to the batteries. They aren’t hard to insert, but you’ll have to give it a few good whacks to get the batteries to protrude from the bottom so you can pull them out. The compartment seals fairly tightly, and keeps water out fine in the shower, but when used in the tub it didn’t keep water from getting into the battery compartment. Even though the packaging states waterproof, it’s really a splashproof vibe.
The Pleasure Kiss has 8 patterns of vibration, and interestingly, none of them are steady. This is one of the few vibrators I’ve ever had that didn’t have a steady mode. The patterns are:
- reverberation from low to high
- faster reverberation from low to high
- even faster reverberation from low to high
- a shakier, deeper reverberation from low to high
- fast pulse
- longer fast pulse
- three fast pulses followed by 1 long pulse
- five fast pulses followed by 1 long pulse
The vibrations are fairly deep and throbby, and they are also decently strong.
One really cool feature with this vibrator is that it has a memory chip. Find the pattern you like, and hate to cycle through to find it? No problem. The Pleasure Kiss will restart on the pattern it was on when you shut it off.
Since it’s made of TPR and plastic the Pleasure Kiss is phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, and latex free, and also semi-porous. It’s easy to clean with antibacterial soap and warm water or your favorite toy cleaner. If cleaned right after use, the nubbies aren’t hard to clean at all, but if you wait for any length of time they will be more difficult, and you may want to use a soft bristled brush to clean around them. If you plan on sharing or want to make cleanup easier, a condom can be used. I wouldn’t recommend using this anally due to the lack of flared base combined with the short insertable length. Both silicone and water-based lubricants are safe to use.
So, Did It Work? I like this vibe. While I don’t notice the rings around the shaft, I did feel the nubs on the tip when I was using it, and they felt great when stimulating my g-spot. The Pleasure Kiss was easy to hang on to during use, and I didn’t have any problems pressing the buttons by mistake. This was long enough to hit my g-spot effectively.
I love that this has a memory feature! I hate having to cycle through patterns when I find the one I really like, and it’s great to be able to turn this vibe on and go with the pattern I enjoy the most. There are actually two patterns I like the best on this vibe, the 3 short 1 long pattern, and the 5 short 1 long pattern. Both of them really do the trick for me. I would have preferred this had a steady vibration pattern as well, however, as sometimes I need them steady. I did think the strength was decent, and I liked how the vibrations were more throbby than buzzy. I also liked how quiet this one was.
I wish this actually was waterproof, as I’d love to use this in the tub. Submerging it for just a short time got water in the battery compartment, and while I didn't damage it I'm not going to be trying that again. While it works fine in the shower since the base isn’t submerged, it’s too awkward to use as a g-spot vibrator standing up. It can be used in the shower for clitoral stimulation, but I have stronger shower toys for that and this works better internally than externally for me.
What I really don’t like is how hard it is to get the batteries out! The bottom one comes out with just one whack over my hand, but the top one really seats inside the vibrator, and it takes several whacks to get it low enough to get out.
Overall, this is a fun g-spot vibrator, and you’ll like it if you enjoy moderately strong vibrations, throbby vibrations, and different patterns to choose from, and you don't need a steady vibration setting to get you off.

I would have preferred this had a steady vibration pattern as well, however, as sometimes I need them steady. I did think the strength was decent, and I liked how the vibrations were more throbby than buzzy. I also liked how quiet this one was.I wish this actually was waterproof, as I’d love to use this in the tub. Submerging it for just a short time got water in the battery compartment, and while I didn't damage it I'm not going to be trying that again. While it works fine in the shower since the base isn’t submerged, it’s too awkward to use as a g-spot vibrator standing up. It can be used in the shower for clitoral stimulation, but I have stronger shower toys for that and this works better internally than externally for me.
What I really don’t like is how hard it is to get the batteries out! The bottom one comes out with just one whack over my hand, but the top one really seats inside the vibrator, and it takes several whacks to get it low enough to get out.
Overall, this is a fun g-spot vibrator, and you’ll like it if you enjoy moderately strong vibrations, throbby vibrations, and different patterns to choose from, and you don't need a steady vibration setting to get you off.
Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending this to me to review! If you’d like to try the Pleasure Kiss, you can pick it up from EdenFantasys by clicking here or on the widget below.

HNT: White and High
When I bought my Zombie and Camouflage shoes, I saw this cute little pair too. They're higher than I thought (although, I know, how many pictures have I actually posted of shoes that aren't high?) but they're pretty comfortable, and go with a lot of office wear as well as some of my funkier evening/lingerie. I hope you like them!

HNT: Camouflaged
I like nothing if not variety. I have ballet-style shoes in this pattern, as well as boots, but these heels just looked like fun. I think they're pretty versatile, and they actually go with a lot. I hope you like them!
