Angela's Christmas Wish List plus a GIVEAWAY!

I get so excited to share gifts I love with others! These are actual items on my Wish List this year. I am known for my practical picks (as you will see by desire for gym clothes).  However, I've also been known to request a couple of "splurge" items.  Let me know what your favorite item is on my list and I will personally select a random reader to receive an Essie Sweet Mini 4 Pack (pictured below):

Nordstrom
Essie Sweet Mini 4 Pack
Colors:
Lollipop, Rock Candy and Mint Candy Apple nail & 3-Way Glaze nail treatment
Apple
$69.99 (Apple is offering free shipping on this item)

I adore my iPad, and this little accessory will be such a great addition to my Apple family!


Saks
Sale Price $ 82.50


This is perfect for those who do not want to deal with the "fixed" Apple iPad case, which has to be removed when using the Apple Dock station.

Lucy
$98.00

$88.00


$28.00
Burberry
$450.00

So chic and versatile. This was the "splurge gift" on my list this year!

Layla Grace
$ 52.00


This is an amazing product! You design your own case to your taste. With three different font options and countless colors to choose from, you can't go wrong. This is an exceptional gift for the Preppy person in your life! Did I mention you can order cases for the following products: iPhone 3G & 4G, iPod Touch, Blackberry Bold and Curve!

Sephora
Orgasm Lust Lip and Cheek Set
$30.00
I have yet to meet a Fashionista who can't wear this shade!

Bobbi Brown
$75.00


I'm a loyal Bobbi Brown user. I rarely stray from her products. This little pallet is perfect for girls on the go!

Bath and Body Works
$19.50



My ALL-time favorite scent is Creamy Nutmeg. I stock up when they run their promotion,  2 for $20. These also make terrific Hostess gifts!

Michael Kors
$ 318.00

This bag looks chic, but doesn't carry the hefty price tag. By the appearance, I imagine the inspiration for this handbag came from the Hermès Birkin and the quilting of Chanel.

Saving the Best for Last:

Neiman Marcus
$1,450


We have so many people to buy for (and to be honest, I would rather give, than receive) so the Yurman bracelet is most defintely a wish...wishful thinking!

Happy Holidays!!!
Angela

Seni Mengawali dan Memulai Hubungan Seks


ANDA yang ingin merasakan sensasi kenikmatan seksual yang menyenangkan, kenapa tidak mengawalinya dengan sebuah pembicaraan berbau porno (dirty talks) saat Anda bersanding dengan pasangan. Siapa tahu pasangan menjadi lebih agresif mengeksplorasikan setiap fantasi seksualnya.

Nah, agar aksi Anda berhasil dengan baik, Anda terlebih dahulu memahami prinsip dasar dari dirty talks berikut ini.

Ceritakanlah masalah seputar seks

Anda mungkin tidak terbiasa melontarkan kata-kata yang berbau porno kepada pasangan. Tapi jangan berpikir bahwa wanita tidak menyukai hal itu, apalagi jika Anda melontarkannya saat berdua di ranjang. Wanita mengganggap obrolan seputar seks mampu membangkitkan gairah seksualnya menjadi lebih menggebu-gebu.

Bicarakanlah dengan bahasa yang berbeda

Anda sebaiknya mempunyai banyak perbendaharaan kata seputar masalah seks, agar pasangan semakin bergairah ketika bercinta dengan Anda. Anda pun bisa memancing rasa penasaran pasangan ketika Anda menggunakan kata-kata yang tidak biasa Anda lontarkan kepadanya saat di ranjang.

Ranjang adalah pilihan yang tepat

Anda jangan sekali-sekali membicarakan masalah seputar seksualitas di lokasi yang membuat wanita kurang nyaman, seperti di meja makan. Hal ini bisa mengurangi selera makannya, dan pasangan pun mengganggap tindakan Anda sangatlah memalukan.

Cobalah Anda memilih tempat tidur sebagai lokasi favorit untuk mengungkapkan kata-kata cinta. Saat itu Anda bisa sekaligus mendiskusikan masa depan hubungan Anda sampai gaya dan posisi bercinta yang pasangan suka.
Ranjang adalah pilihan yang tepat

MORE ON SETTING THE TONE TO A DISCUSSION – pie charts







PIE CHARTS THAT WOULD KNOCK THE AIR OUT OF ANY TEAHADIST-REPUBLICAN

Deprive them of oxygen…that is what I say. When you are faced with a nasty fire caused by a pyromaniac and there are those who will still pour gasoline into it; the thing to do is to deprive it of oxygen and it will be put out. It may not be easy because some of these conflagrations burn very hot and vigorously but it is possible to do.

Yesterday I wrote that “The whole country is allowing the Teahadist-Republicans to set the pace, lay down the standards to any and all discussions and we are at this point and time considering totally absurd ideas that a few years back would have been considered truly insane. This radical move to the right in America has had some very negative consequences. We see how open xenophobia, homophobia and racism are a totally accepted stance; even the encouragement of using “2nd amendment options. This would have been unthinkable just two years ago.”

As selective reasoning is a very pervasive tradition among these right-wing fanatics it is difficult to even talk to them. But once in a while there would be a relative or friend to one of them who will send them an anonymous e-mail with some facts and then they go into instant apoplexy. What I am hoping is that out of the two or three thousand followers I have at least one or two will do this and confront some right wing nut with the facts.

I ran into these very telling pie charts that explain beautifully where America stands on the issues. I think that if any Teahadist-Republican was to receive this they would be angry at first; “how dare somebody send me crap like this?” But eventually they will have to read it and it is hard, almost impossible to “REFUDIATE”and they will think about it and eventually will have to face the truth.

The reason that some of these people are so adamant and arrogant; perhaps a perfect example is a Sharon Angle or a Christine O’Donnell is that they surround themselves with people who agree with them and will not even give interviews…that is a good way to avoid reality and the facts.

HERE ARE THE INTERESTING PIE CHARTS COURTESY OF Richard (RJ) Eskow

You see, if your friend or acquaintance only watches Fox and listens to Beck and Rush then they are not getting the true picture. These are but voices of lies and exaggeration, of fear and distrust. Fox , Beck, Rush and the other peripheral pundits have a lot of opinions and no facts, it is ideology without substance, it is criticism without solutions.

We have let them get away with all their lies and setting the tone of the discussion for far too long…it is time we start e-mailing these to them and see how they will “REFUDIATE” them.
