Woman’s Mojo – Confidence IS Sexy!

January 19, 2012 1 comment

Before you can “be sexy” – you need to “be confident”!  It’s critical to anything you will do as you move forward in this Mojo recreation of you!

It’s important that you look in the mirror and see the beauty everyone else sees.  Your eyes – Your smile – The way your nose crinkles when you smile – That little dimple on your cheek…Whatever it is YOU have something that is incredibly beautiful to people when they see you.  There are ways to emphasize those little (or big) assets.

A great way to find them is to make a trip to a department store or a makeup salon like MAC Cosmetics. I actually know a gal who, when she has a big event, will go in to a makeup store and have them help her apply her makeup for the event!  Just a small purchase of one of their products and you walk out with a GREAT look for the evening!  How cool is that?

When you put on your makeup – don’t just do the “go-to-the-office” makeup…really think it through – need help on a technique? Here’s a great website with step-by-step tutorials:  Makeup 101 – They have wonderful tutorials on everything from the basics to the WOW factor.

Now that your makeup is ready and your face is awesome, you need to see and love the rest of you too.  Your neck, collarbone, shoulders, bust, tummy (yes tummy), buns and legs.  Everything that makes you who you are is what is makes you sexy and beautiful.

Think of that breath on your neck from a lover, or that kiss on your shoulder from someone special?  Doesn’t that feel “sexy”?  It is – we all have erogenous zones that make our whole body react to just the simplest touch.

Your bust is you and whether it is large, small or somewhere in between, it is beautiful.  Want a larger bust – try tricks like wearing 2 bras instead of just one – try pulling the straps together at the back and safety-pin them for a more voluptuous cleavage.  Here’s a YouTube video that shares some more tricks for that special look!

Your tummy, whether it’s tight and firm, rounded, tight waist or that cute little pooch – it’s all about you loving you.  Remember – when you love yourself, others will see that and love you for you too!

Buns – well, there are a billion (make that 7 billion) different buns on this planet, so your buns are unique and no one will ever have one exactly like yours.  Remember – confidence – loving you. Here’s a quick 4 minute video that shares great Booty Workout to get you going for that booty you want!

And, last but NOT least are your legs.  Short, medium or long legs can all benefit by a couple of tricks.  Wearing nude color heels with nude hose helps make a continuous line from toe to waist and here are two more videos that share quick “How-To’s” to make your legs appear longer.  Just by pushing up the sleeves of your top will draw the eye up, watch this to see the how/why! And, here’s a video to show how to shop for the right shoe!

So, now you’re ready for that next step – keep following and we’ll be sure to share more tips on how to do continue that magical makeover to a sexier you!

Women – Get Out Of The Mojo “Funk”…

January 3, 2012 Leave a comment

It’s a brand new year and this is the year you come out and WOW the world with the new you.  Some of the “on-purpose” secrets you can use to get out of the Mojofunk” are pretty simple, but they are “on-purpose” – so they do require you to think and remember how and when these will really work for you day-to-day.

Girlfriends

Never forget your girlfriends!

Funk #1 – Feeling blue and just a little “down”

Cure #1 – Turn on “happy” music, watch a movie you enjoy, call a friend for a cup of coffee OR the easiest way is to “smile” – that’s really it – you can instantly feel your mood change – even if you’re forcing yourself to smile.  It’s a trick your brain uses to get out of that down mood.

Funk #2 – Getting into a fight with your lover

Cure #2 – Get out of the house – take a walk, go away for a cup of coffee…do something that will take you out of the moment, pump up your endorphines and provide you with a clear head for better communications when you return.

Every Woman Is Beautiful!

You ARE Beautiful!

Funk #3 – Letting someone else provide your “worth” and making you feel unappreciated

Cure #3 – Get out that little Post-It note pad and start writing out ALL the things that are good about you! Here are a couple for your desk, your mirror at home, your car dashboard: “I will not let someone else determine my self-worth or take away my power!” “I am beautiful” “I have value”.  These are just a few to get you going.

Funk #4 – You’ve had an argument with a friend

Cure #4 – Give your relationship some breathing room.  Step back and let cooler heads prevail – you are both adults and just trust that your value in each other is worth going back to.  Call and arrange a meeting place that is private and don’t forget the healing touch of a hug!

Funk #5 – Your stress level is through the roof

Cure #5 – Coffee with a friend, bubble baths, and even taking an hour out of the day to read a good book are all ways that for just a little while you can step back from the stress and just remember – “Breathe”…the worries of today will take care of themselves or they will still be there for you to handle tomorrow when you’ve had some down-time to relax.

The Art of Seduction – Part 4 – The Forgotten Art of Listening…

October 26, 2011 1 comment

Elizabeth Taylor - from Harley RoadKing Rider

And, I mean really listening to what your partner has to say. It is more a turn off than any other, to realize that when you are speaking from your heart and soul that the other person isn’t listening and has no intention of listening.

As human beings, we all want to be heard – we want someone else to validate our thoughts and ideas. No matter how simple or far-out they are, our thoughts tell more about who we are and we all want that “special person” to really and truly know us. We are not isolationist by nature. Humans are social creatures – how else can a social media site such as Facebook have more than 600 million members?

There is an art to listening – it takes an effort on the part of the seducer…it’s a critical step in seduction. You have to WANT to know the person you’re attracted to. Otherwise, you become just another non-entity that has the potential to become known as a “player” or worse, a “stalker/loser”.

We have a tendency to talk so much that we forget to listen – when that special someone in your life wants to talk you must stop talking and listen – really listen to what they’re saying.

  • Wipe out of your mind the thoughts of the day (and why what you have to say is so much more important).
  • Look the person in the eye.
  • Watch for body language.
  • Hold their hand if that is what feels right.
  • Ask questions – but then stop and wait; truly hear the answers.
  • Show them that you really care what about what they are saying.

By showing you are able and willing to hear them, you will succeed in the forgotten art of listening!


Health in the Bedroom!

Over the years, all women experience times when we don’t feel their best. Whether it’s a few pounds we’ve put on or lost (it works both ways) or work and pressure at the office to “perform” – no not sexually, I hope, but still put on a show and be at the top of our game.  Then, too often we go home to dirty laundry, dishes, hungry husband or kids and once again, have to perform. Does this start to feel like women are trained seals – maybe…Women are made different from our male counterparts. It’s just the way it is.  But we all want to feel sexy, and loved, and desired…that’s a part of what makes us women!

We see hundreds of advertisements all addressing male erectile dysfunction but women are left out of the equation in all but a few instances – they’re just a model in the commercial.  There are many reasons a woman may be unresponsive, in addition to the reasons shown above and over the course of the next few articles I hope to be able to address some of them.

One that rises to the top of the list, according to WebMD  is actual inhibited sexual desire.  This one men may not understand, but we as women need to educate them.  Whether we’re ashamed of something about our bodies, too tired, or just don’t know why – there are times when we are not interested in sex.  But, when you see the incredible benefits to a healthy sexual experience you can look at sex in an entirely new light.

Here are five benefits in having a healthy sex life!

  1. Sex relieves stress – and here you were TOO stressed to think about sex!
  2. Sex reduces pain!
  3. Sex helps you sleep better!
  4. Sex boosts self-esteem!
  5. AND – we all know that Sex burns calories!
So, go burn some calories, relieve stress and sleep like a baby.

My Friends: Rob and Amber Grimshaw – A story that has to be shared!

July 5, 2011 3 comments

Some of you know that I grew up in Las Vegas. My next door neighbor was a young man named Rob Grimshaw. Over the years, we have stayed in touch – he married his high school sweetheart, Amber and they have 2 beautiful little girls (8 & 2) – storybook life, right? Not quite! I recently learned that this dear friend of mine has developed an extremely rare form of cancer, only 8 cases in the U.S. in the last 15 years. Through all of this, he has remained hopeful that there will be a cure found and is currently following many different forms of treatment. However, due to the rarity of this cancer, oncologists do not know how to treat this cancer specifically.

The cancer has a name that is terrifying – it is Epitheliod Sarcoma Cancer. The tumors have broken through the skin of his arms and have spread over much of his body – the initial treatment was a radiation that because of a misdiagnosis actually made the tumors grow in size, increase in number and spread to his lungs. His story can be found at Rob Grimshaw.blogspot.com with a link to “Donate” to his family and his care. I hope you will take a few minutes today to read his story, and find it in your heart to help him and his family. Because this is such a rare form of cancer the research in to a cure is minimal but what we can do is reach out to Rob, Amber and their beautiful daughters through support; financially, emotionally and through prayer to help them remain in their home so Amber can stay with him to take care of him in his days of pain and challenge and his days of hope and victory.

We often hear the phrase “I am my brother’s keeper”.  It is not too often that we have the opportunity to live it and experience it.  In the case of Rob Grimshaw, “I am my brother’s keeper” and I hope you will be too. By going to his blog

Rob Grimshaw.blogspot.com – you can help him financially through the “Donation” link, as well as in comments that will encourage the entire family to keep fighting!

Thank you for your time today in reading this post.

The Passionate One
