Buying a home can be an exciting new adventure! At times, it can feel a bit overwhelming as well. This is a huge decision that will impact every facet of your life, and there aren’t many other major life decisions that take require you take your past, present, and future into account.
If you have owned a home before, you may already have a list of requirements when searching for a new place to call your own. However, as a first time home buyer, you may have no idea where to even begin! Luckily for you, we have a comprehensive list that will set you on the right track.
When looking through these questions, jot down your answer. Later, it will be helpful to go back through and separate each item into one of two columns: Must Have or Would Like to Have. For example: Maybe you Must Have 3 bedrooms to accommodate you, your spouse, and the kids, but you Would Like to Have 4 bedrooms for the extra space it would provide. Starting the home buying process with a definitive list of want you need vs. what you want will help your Realtor find the perfect space for your family. Remember that there is a give and take when it comes to real estate. However, if you maintain an open mind and a bit of flexibility, you are sure to find your new dream home. Let the fun begin!
What are some other additions that are important to you? Laundry, spare room, office, fenced yard, patio/deck, fireplace?

Before 3:00 yesterday, I'd already used coconut oil in THREE different ways, so I want to share them with you! Let's start with the first...something you're already familiar with if you keep up with my posts.
If you haven't read my article on Oil Pulling yet, do so here. It's been about a month now since I've started this health/beauty regimen. Before I tell you an update of how it's been going, let me share with you a video from E! News this week...a segment on Oil Pulling!
It's so cool how such an ancient practice is making a 3,000 year comeback...in Hollywood! Two of my friends saw this on TV (one of them was my roommate Blakeley...check out her blog here!) and texted me immediately..."Oh my gosh, your gross swishy oil thing is on TV!" I've seen several news stations post articles about it recently, not just health and beauty blogs. I've had tons of family members, friends, and faithful blog readers tell me they've tried it now, too! This is the HOT thing right now...if you haven't taken part in it, you are behind.
-My skin has NEVER been so perfect! It's glowing, and it keeps getting better and better! I can't believe how soft, smooth, clear, and dewy it is. My friend, Melissa, actually said that she's been on medicine for her skin for 3 years, and 2 weeks of oil pulling is what cleared her skin up. Amazing.
-My morning breath is much less dragon-like. Sounds sooo disgusting, but I've always had bad morning breath. This has helped tremendously.
Still waiting on the teeth whitening thing to take off. It's helping, but I really want perfect pearly whites without paying for professional teeth whitening. I've been doing research to see when I'll notice this effect, and it seems to vary from person to person. We shall see!
Yesterday after coloring my hair (don't try that at home...I have professional products), I really needed some extra moisture. So I mixed up a hair mask of two spoonfuls of coconut oil, two spoonfuls of olive oil, a teaspoon of honey, and an egg! I shampooed the color out with Blonda by Unite to get rid of any brass, and then I left this mask on for 20 minutes. Rinsed it out, did a light shampoo with just plain baby shampoo (good for the pH of your hair) and voilà! Soft, smooth, and all natural. An easy quick fix for thirsty locks.
Not the prettiest picture, but this was my breakfast yesterday! Ok, I'm lying. My breakfast was leftover pizza. This was just a morning snack. An Advocare Spark drink...filled with vitamins...a glass of ice water, and a smoothie made with coconut oil! I love to experiment with my smoothies, but adding coconut oil, you're giving your metabolism the perfect energy boost! This particular smoothie was made with kale, blueberries, coconut oil, and Greek yogurt. So yummy and the perfect way to jumpstart my day (especially after that pizza...no shame, though!)
There are endless ways to use coconut oil for this, that, and the other. I love to keep learning about coconut oil and all of its benefits! What do you use it for?

I'd spoken with my wife about ordering one of these and she said you don't need it, so, after months of toying with the idea, I finally got one.
As soon as it arrived in its discreet packaging I felt more relaxed and eased. I showed my wife when home and she laughed. An hour later she would stop, asking if we could go play.
The growth was amazing. My head felt so big and swollen. I was even more surprised at how much it turned the wife on.
Will start off with the handheld masturbator. I have a Fleshlight, but this with the beads inside gave a whole new meaning to pleasurable. Need lube to get going, but then you literally don't want to let go - fantastic for those who want to get started.
The two cock rings come in two sizes, which is good, as they can be used for various pleasurable acts, to stay hard, or for added benefit, around the balls.
Now for the butt plug. I had never tried anal until this arrived. It has a good shape and feel to it. Was a bit daunting. But with lube it slide right in and the feeling was great. This combined with the egg, well all I can say this is an amazing feeling if you have never tried anal before.
Now the main attraction, the pump. Was sceptical at first. But went slow at first to see what it was all about. And was I amazed. With the clear cylinder you can see what is going on. And boy was I loving it. With the hand pump and the quick release valve, I have spent more time with this than anything else.
I was very excited to try out the STA-HARD pleasure kit, especially considering I had never before experienced a penis pump.
It's very simple to use. Little bit of lube around the entry and away you go. You can enter into whilst you are hard by pushing in. However, you can also do it when soft by using the pump to draw yourself into it using the vacuum pressure.
I was very impressed with the amount of suction that this pump is able to provide. It feels amazing.
My partner was thrilled with the vibrating egg. It's quite powerful, which provided her with some toe-curling vibrations. Battery and controller for this is on a wire so it can get in the way. The cable is quite long so it can be kept at a distance.
The included masturbator is also excellent and a quite splendid way to finish off after using the pump. It's very soft and easy to hold in one hand.
You definitely require some lube to use this, but once you're under way the feeling is great. Inside are rows of firm beads, which you can actual feel as you move the toy up and down.
