Now, we are certainly not knocking the Valentine who is thoughtful enough to buy flowers to express his undying love on Cupid’s holiday, but we are saying that there’s more to February 14th than thorny roses with a short shelf life and boring boxes of mediocre chocolate.

A Super Bowl party is definitely a long one, and I like to keep cocktails interesting for our guests without having to go overboard when setting up the bar. We call this simple cocktail, The Belvedere Bowl. Everyone can customize it to their

I have been dreaming about having sex with another man for a long time. I started fantasizing two years into my marriage. Now that my kids are older and life is less stressful, I find myself thinking about wanting sex much more often. But not sex with my husband. I want hot, lustful, first-date sex.
