Another Anniversary Giveaway! A Toyfriend Mini Rebel from Babeland!
2012-05-19 06:08:00
 In honor of my and Hubby's seven year anniversary, and spanning through the one year anniversary of my domain purchase, I'm running lots of giveaways. This is one of them! Babeland is allowing me to give away a Toyfriend Mini Black Rebel. This is a perfect little travel vibe for your summer giveaways. I pulled the pic of all three mini Toyfriends that Babeland carries so you could see the side view of the Rebel (black) and I posted a front view of the Rebel below that so you can see the bulb-tip. The mini's are only about 5-6" tall if my memory serves me correctly, so they're small enough to tuck anywhere! Entering to win is very easy, using the Rafflecopter widget below. Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway Thanks, Babeland!

My blogging is my "Me Time" and EF helps it happen.
2012-05-19 05:42:00
Blogging is my "me time." I tend to review products that benefit me in some way. Y'know, bubble bath or other body stuff, sex toys for solo use, books to read...EdenFantasys helps make my "me time" worth it. Let me tell you how. Most of the time, I find products as part of the review program for free or at a 30% discount (also called a buy-out). Other times, I find something I want and get it using my points. Oh, yeah, you get points for things you do on their site. Search for something? Get points. Add it to a wishlist? Get points. Place an order? Get points. It's a nice cycle. By the way, you convert those points into gift cards. Also, I'm an affiliate of EdenFantasys. Which means, when you click over to EdenFantasys from my site, and you buy stuff, I get a little commission. Or, if you use my special code (TC3) you take off 15% of your purchase and I get 5%. That's what we call a win-win situation. You can also join the affiliate program, and we'll both make a little money...

Lelo Ella Giveaway Courtesy of Erotic Toy Town!
2012-05-19 03:43:00
I've always liked the look of the Lelo Ella. I received my very own Lelo Ella from EroticToyTown.com's great Lelo Toys collection just yesterday! Before I even start TESTING my Lelo Ella, I'm giving one away! In honor of my and Hubby's seven year anniversary, and spanning through the one year anniversary of my domain purchase, I'm running lots of giveaways. This is one of them! The Lelo Ella is a solid silicone dildo that is technically a double ended dildo. One end has a G-spot curve, while the other is a little more traditional smooth, tapered end. I'm really looking forward to testing this for my review, which is coming soon! Thanks, Erotic Toy Town! Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway

In honor of my and Hubby's seven year anniversary, and spanning through the one year anniversary of my domain purchase, I'm running lots of giveaways. This is one of them!

Babeland Satin Bondage Set
2012-05-16 02:33:00
I recently received a Babeland Satin Bondage Set in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. ? Photo of Satin Bondage Kit from Babeland.com ? I am starting to enjoy being a "little" tied up. This is a great set for that, since it only has two ties and a mask. I like that the mask is very adjustable, by having a generous satin strap (2.5') on each side of the mask that tie in the back. Sometimes with the elastic-backed masks, I find my eyes are in more bondage than I'd like. The Babeland (+)(-) logo is silkscreened on the top corner. The two additional satin ties (each one 5' long) can be used several ways. You could tie each hand separately to the headboard, together with one tie in the back and feet with one tie, or you can tie both feet to the footboard. I could also see it being conceivable to use them in a hog-tie situation by crossing the middles of each tie and tying all four limbs. I find that tying the ties...

Pipedreams Icicles No. 8 from Erotic Toy Town
2012-05-06 21:43:00
A while back, I received the Icicles No. 8 from Erotic Toy Town in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. Erotic Toy Town is a newer site that I hadn't heard of until they emailed me to see if I'd review for them. I saw that the Icicles No. 8 was an option for review, so I agreed. I have been wanting to add more glass toys to my stash for a while, and I really like the look of the No. 8. The Icicles No. 8 measures 7" long with an insertable length of 6", and a 1.5" girth. The dichroic glass is REALLY pretty. However, pretty doesn't matter if the toy is ineffective. And guess what: this one doesn't do it for me. It's a little slim for me. I like a little more girth. The grooves aren't pronounced enough to hang onto. I like to have something to grip in my vagina when I'm using a vibrator or hitachi on my clit. Sadly, this one just doesn't let me grip it. It flies out with that first contraction. I like my Icicles No. 2 much better...

Digital Delight Dildo from GoodVibes
2012-05-06 20:51:00
I recently received a Digital Delight Dildo from GoodVibes in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. I received the black version of the Wet for Her Two Silicone Dildo from GoodVibes for this review. I have issues with masturbating because my own fingers just don't do it for me. I have wanted to penetrate myself with fingers, but it's just not possible. I can't reach more than an inch or two into my vagina, much less get past the pubic bone and hit my G-Spot! Such are the problems of the short female with the long torso and high cervix. I'm just straight up built funny. I like that the package is something I can use to store this dildo between uses. It's a sturdy cardboard box with a foam insert that cradles the Two (called a Digital Delight Silicone Dildo on the GoodVibes site). The packaging isn't absurdly large, so it's not too much to keep. However, I'm getting too many things to keep all the boxes, so I'm deb...

Romantic Essentials Kit from SinFreeToys.com
2012-04-29 20:58:00
As you know, we've been going through some rough times in our marriage. We're living in two different places while we both work, so the time we're together is few and far between. Recently, a new site came on my radar: SinFreeToys.com. I checked out their site and immediately wanted to work with them. I asked if they needed another reviewer, and we went from there. A few days ago, I received a Romantic Essentials Kit for review. Included in this kit are two tealight candles, a mini suggestion guide, a little package of hot pink rose petals, tropical scented bubble bath, and tropical scented massage cream. All of these items are stored in a little clear, zippered, vinyl bag. The website says there are mints, too, but the packaging doesn't say it and they aren't included. ? This pic is from LoversChoice.tv which shows light pink petals, but the ones included from SinFreeToys.com are hot pink. ?What quickly impressed me is that it is very travel friendly. The two...

Jollies' (Chavez Dezignz) Jollet!
2012-04-19 02:56:00
I received a Jollet from ChavezDezigns.com in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. My first knowledge of the Jollet came from Epiphora's great review of the Jollet. I really wanted one, but was saddened by the fact that Jollies had stopped production. A few months ago, Epiphora mentioned that she had gotten in touch with ChavezDezignz and that they had resumed production of the Jollies line (or something to that effect). You know me, I will reach out and offer to review something I want! When they told me to go and pick something to review, I pretty much already knew what I wanted to start with. When I opened their webpage, I noticed a "now taking ideas for St. Pat's Day creations." I requested a Jollet, expecting to get whatever color they put in my package, and mentioned the colors of Ireland's flag. What did I get in my email saying my package had shipped?? A FREAKING IRISH PRIDE JOLLET!!! Made my day. The little puffball...

Seriously considering remodeling my closet
2012-04-19 01:48:00
95% of my clothes reside in drawers. Given that 100% of my sex blogger paraphernalia lives in the closet, I am strongly considering remodeling my little closet. It's pretty small, maybe 5 feet wide by 6 feet deep, with the water heater walled-in in the corner. I'm thinking about taking out the wire shelves and mounting some nice wooden shelving where the wire shelving is, and putting more shelves above that. I'll leave a bar on the short wall to hang what few hanging clothes I need to hang. That's just a handful of dresses and some lingerie. On the long wall, I'm probably going to put a shelf below the existing level, and then put those clear rolling drawers like Epiphora has below that. For the floor, there's going to have to be some high pile carpet and lots of good padding under it. That is, after I waterproof the underlying floor. Not sure what I'll have to do to make that happen, but I'd feel better if there was a water leak, I'd just have to rip up the carpet,...

Body Dew Pheromone After Bath Oil from TheAdultToyShoppe.com
2012-04-15 04:36:00
I received a bottle of Body Dew Pheromone After Bath Oil from TheAdultToyShoppe in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. Back in my sex toy consultant days, I had a Strawberries & Cream version of the Body Dew Pheromone After Bath Oil spray. I had never tried the Original scent, but I was looking for bath & body stuff to review a while back and saw this and decided I wanted to try it. I had already liked the skin-softening qualities of the body oil. I loved that I could spray it on rather than try to pour it into my hand and rub it over my body. I like how I can turn the shower off, shake off the water, and spray down with this and seal in the moisture. I love how it gently scents the skin without feeling heavy or being really greasy. Seeing as how I do tend toward oily skin, I have to be careful not to spray it on my face, neck, and back. I love it on my arms and legs, though, especially after shaving. Now, the difference betwee...

I Rub My Duckie from Babeland
2012-04-15 02:20:00
I received an Original "I Rub My Duckie" from Babeland in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. In my early days, playing with sex toys as a direct sales consultant, the I Rub My Duckie line was one of the things I always wanted for myself. When I saw this up for review at Babeland, I had to have it. The only thing better would have been if the Paris I Rub My Duckie was up for review. I'm quite a sucker for pink stuff. This is actually an updated version of the one I used to borrow from my sponsor to demo at parties. This one has three vibration modes as opposed to just one. This one is also much quieter, too. The I Rub My Duckie is made of phthalate-free and latex-free PVC. In a 5"x3" size, it's the same size as the little rubber ducks your kid has sitting on the tub. So it's completely inconspicuous if anyone sees it sitting on the side of your tub. He's also fully submersible. :) The ducky has a few different areas that provide ...

Orchid G from Babeland
2012-04-15 01:59:00
I received an Orchid G from Babeland in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. I also got this Orchid G G-spot vibrator from Babeland to review some time back and am just now getting around to the review. I've gotten a good bit of testing done on it though, as it's a pretty reliable vibe! The Orchid G is actually living in my shower/tub area. It is waterproof, so it's been nice to have a hideable G-Spot vibe in the bathroom. It's easy to tuck behind a couple bottles of shampoo and not worry about the toddler finding. The Orchid G is approx 8" long along the outer side of the curve, and is almost 1.5" wide at the fullest point of the bulbous tip. The slender shaft makes sliding the vibe in and out very easy. The ABS Plastic is easy to clean, and doesn't require lube as it is so slick. You can use it if you need to, though. The dial at the bottom goes from pretty weak gradually up to a pretty strong vibration. It's not a Hitachi, bu...

Deluxe G-Spotter attachment from Babeland
2012-04-15 01:24:00
I received a Deluxe G-Spotter attachment from Babeland in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. I LOVE my Hitachi. I was hoping to get some sort of attachment for it because I prefer penetration in addition to clitoral stimulation. When I saw this up for review, I had to have it. It's taken me a while to get to the review, but it's a wonderful attachment. The Deluxe G-Spotter Attachment is made from amazing flexible silicone. While it's very flexible, it's not TOO flexible. There's no difficulty in placing the attachment onto the wand since it's so flexible. This flexibility would make you think the G-spot shaft would be too flexible to do any good. That's not the case. The shaft provides a nice, filling experience and can be thrusted in and out, while a small nub provides direct stimulation to the clitoris, and vibrations are transmitted throughout the silicone. The Deluxe G-Spotter attachment is available from Babeland for $34...

28 days...
2012-04-13 03:05:00
...left of school. I love teaching, but between my effing stupid uterus (which is FINALLY letting me play again!) and teaching music and finishing my final college project...I am so ready for summer break! Not to mention I do Mary Kay part time also trying to do more than just pay the bills. It came in handy last month because my child spent the better part of the month going to doctor and ER visits before we found out what we were battling. Poor child...he did have an ear infection, he did have the flu, and he had a UTI from dealing with all the throwing up he was doing. Turns out the poor child had e. coli causing all the vomiting,  not just fever from the other stuff. He's finally better and for the most part the bills are paid, but wow. If you need a Mary Kay lady, please let me know. I'm going for Star Team Builder before summer break and then for my first car this summer. I'm seriously considering whether I can do blogging and Mary Kay only very soon and make as much...

i know i've been MIA. i need to rant here for a minute. if you dont wanna hear me bitch, go read another post. hubby spent a week in our local mental health facility last month. had a nervous breakdown because his "supportive" family discouraged him from seeking proper help for depression. pisses me off. then, i'm having the period from hell (one month and counting!) and cant get in to see my GYN til middle of march! this is why i havent posted any reviews. cant test anything, so i cant review it accurately! and to top that off, my child has been sick for two weeks, been in and out of the dr's office, and now has the fucking flu. i just cannot catch a break! i hate seeing my child miserable and i cant do a damn thing. poor child has had a double ear infection, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, and now the flu & constipation from not drinking! OMG i wanna scream!! the only positive thing right now is that i have found a car that i was able to pay cash for out of income tax refund....

Doc Johnson Teardrop Vibe from Good Vibrations
2011-12-27 08:41:00
I received a Doc Johnson Teardrop vibrator from GoodVibrations.com in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. A while back, I received a Teardrop vibe from GoodVibrations. It's been a while since I got it, and I got swamped with school and student teaching. Now that I'm back, I'm getting caught up on reviews. I was upset to think I'd waited to review something til it was out of stock, but I'm assured it's only temporarily out of stock. So if you click the link and it "doesn't exist," rest assured, it'll be back. I'll even check on it and update this post when it's back in stock. The package is a smallish plastic box. It would be very easy to gift by taping down the top hanging flap and wrapping the perfectly rectangle box. It's not an odd shape, and it's not flimsy packaging. However, there are no instructions in the package. The outside of the package says the unit is waterproof, uses 2-AAA batteries, is multispeed, ...

Don't stop to smell this rose! Sensuous Beauty Amber Rose Botanical Body Mi
2011-12-27 06:50:00
I recently received a bottle of Sensuous Beauty Amber Rose Botanical Body Mist from EdenFantasys in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. The next product up for review tonight is Sensuous Beauty Amber Rose Botanical Body Mist. Alright, so it's botanical. I like that. The ingredients are as follows: pure imported rose water, brandy, amber, rose otto and pure essential oil of cedarwood. Alright, I like the sound of that, too. Here's hoping I like the smell of that. I don't. I am picky about my rose scents. This one is one I can definitely live without. The brandy and amber, to me, overpower the rose, making it sickeningly dark-sweet. I do not like this scent. That said, there are a lot of other scents to choose from, one of them I might like! Gypsy Jasmine or Sweet Woods, perhaps. What I did like is that the scent stays around for a long time. I figured it would wear off after an hour or two, but six hours later I finally just had to ...

Pipedream Strapless Strap-On with Anal Stimulator
2011-12-27 06:13:00
I recently received a Pipedream Strapless Strap-On with Anal Stimulator from FunWares in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't required to give it a positive review. I saw that this item was eligible for review and was perplexed by it. I'd seen something very similar to it mentioned in an e-book I was reading on my Kindle app. I had to get it. I didn't notice that it was made of jelly. Oops! Oh well, I promised to review it, didn't I? So I'm finally reviewing it. This Strapless Strap-On is from the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Series. I've had a few accessories from the series that I've liked, and this is the first toy I've gotten from the series. The design is quite interesting. There's a 7" ribbed shaft, a G-spot stimulator that holds the unit in place, and an anal bead stimulator. It's made of jelly, so be aware that it might smell (mine did a little), it should definitely not be shared with multiple partners, and must be carefully cleaned. Using condoms is highly r...

Under the Bed Restraint System from TheAdultToyShoppe.com
2011-12-27 05:48:00
I recently received an Under the Bed Restraint System from TheAdultToyShoppe.com in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. Since I have the bed completely stripped, I figured there's no better time to set up the Under the Bed Restraint System by Sportsheets that I received from TheAdultToyShoppe.com. Wouldn't you agree? Included in the set are four Wrist/Ankle Cuffs made of the same Velboa material in the Velvet Harness, polyester webbing, velcro, metal o-rings, and swivel hooks. They will fit a wide variety of wrist and ankle sizes and are very soft and comfortable. There are four 60" restraint straps that are connected to a 60" strap under the mattress. These straps are made of polyester webbing, metal d- and o-rings, and metal swivel hooks. The 60" connector strap is designed to run vertically down the center of the box springs under the mattress, with two restraint straps connected to the top and two to the bottom using a d-ring. Th...

Velvet Harness from Good Vibes
2011-12-27 05:36:00
I recently received a Velvet Harness from Good Vibrations in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give it a positive review. I've been away from reviewing for quite a while. I hate that. Things got so busy at the end of August and didn't stop til a few days ago. I've finally got some similance of internet at home, only to have my trusty camera quit on me. Joy! Hubby's going to get me a new battery; according to what I found online about the problem, that should fix it. Today is the day after Christmas. All the batteries I had stashed have been confiscated for the kid's toys. So, to start with my catching up, I'm working on the things that don't need batteries or that came with their own batteries. Starting with the Velvet Harness from GoodVibes. The Velvet Harness from Good Vibes is actually the Sportsheets Vibrating Velvet Strap-On. Didn't know if you knew, but Sportsheets is one of my favorite companies. They tend to make good quality higher end bedro...
