Years ago a funny movie came out called “Going South” which depicted what many small towns after the civil war experienced (shortage of men) and how one town had dealt with this issue.
In the movie a woman could “buy” a man which was sentenced to death and marry them. Often these women had no clue what kind of man they were getting as the men were often dragged into town by some law official.

Reddish tones like pearly pinks, peaches and corals contrast the blue in your eyes and really brighten your color. Apply the shadow from your lashline to the crease, but not under your eyes. Too much pink can make the whites of your eyes look red.

The G-spot: What is it?
The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot was discovered by Ernst Gräfenberg a German gynecologist who first described it as “an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation.” The area the G-spot occupies is called the urethral sponge and it is tissue that surrounds the urethra (the tube we pee out of) that swells with fluid during sexual arousal. It is associated with the prostate gland in men and is made up of a complex system of erectile tissue, secretion glands (the Skene’s gland), the internal pelvic nerve and muscles that engage with one another during the arousal cycle. In most women it is sensitive to pressure and stimulation which can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. The existence of a G-spot has been widely accepted and most popular sexology books treat it as fact. In one study of female ejaculation, 84% of the approximately 1300 professional women who responded reported a sensitive area in the vagina, and this was correlated with those who also reported ejaculation.

Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

I've been fighting breakouts and blotchy, dull skin for the past two years. I've spent about a gajillion dollars on miracle creams and face washes from the drugstore to Sephora and Ulta. A couple weeks ago, I saw this scrub at Target and decided for $3.59, it was worth a shot.
