Chocolate Eclair Pie


Share/Bookmark



This pie is fantastic! My dad was first served a slice of this rich desert at a religious meeting he attended. The woman who made the desert gave him the recipe. Now he makes it for any event he can. I'm not complaining, it's delicious! It's so good that it's almost hard to believe that it is made with such simple ingredients:
a box of Graham crackers
2 Jello's vanilla pudding packets
a tub of chocolate icing
crushed pecans.
The graham crackers are crushed to make a crust. Two packets of Jello's vanilla pudding are prepared and layered over the crust. More graham crackers are layered over the pudding. The second layer of vanilla pudding is stacked above that. Chocolate icing is stacked over all of that deliciousness. For a final touch, crushed pecans are sprinkled over the layer of icing.
Pop this baby in the fridge for a simple, chilled desert for any occasion. I have some in my fridge right now. Despite my "diet" I think I'm going to go have a slice... or two ;). I can't resist chocolate, especially when it tastes like a chocolate eclair!

8 Flexible Sex Positions That Will Blow Your Mind!


Share/Bookmark



For those of you who enjoy yoga, kama sutra, or just want to explore, this article is for you. Warning: these positions may make you sore. These positions and many more can be found on the iVillage, Sex and Relationships, and Cosmopolitan websites.

  1. Have you and your partner sit down facing each other with your legs parted upward over his shoulders and his legs on the ground by your hands. Balance yourself with your hands as you scoot your bottom into him in a swinging motion. Strong arms and great balance are needed to pull this one off. The tension from balancing will tighten your vagina. The visual of your tits bouncing in the air and your head tilted back will make the experience a fantasy he'll remember. If you want some added difficulty and excitement, try this on a chair. You can let your body dangle backward, like before, with your hands on the floor behind you OR you can hold your ankles and thrust into him with the same motion described above. The former allows for more visual while the latter allows for more tension.
  2. Lay down sideways and have your boyfriend, husband, or play mate lift your top leg over his shoulder. With you remaining on your side, have him insert himself and rock into you, pushing your leg higher up on his shoulder. In this position, the man has extra leverage. Because you are sideways, he can push himself up and down as well as in and out.
  3. Lay in opposite directions facing upward. Have him cross his legs underneath your back to lift you up. Cross your legs under his. Grab each others arms and start tugging. As you tug, you are grinding into each other, swirling around, and feeling every bit of your partner.
  4. As you lay your man down, get on top of him. Place one leg on each side of him. Place your hands on each side of his legs and force your chest upward in an arch. The site of you being so flexible, your hair hitting off of his legs, and your jugs shaking will drive him mad. An alternative to this is to have him sit up, place your elbows on the bed/floor, and push your back into an arch with your hands.
  5. Place a pillow on the floor. Rest your head and forearms on the pillow. As your man lifts your legs, have him hold your ankles by his side, forcing your ass in the air. He has a lovely view of your ass, back, and head. As gravity brings the blood rushing to your head, you give him full control of your motions.
  6. Rest your head on a pillow. Have him kneel in front of you. Place both legs above his shoulders. Make sure your whole body in mid air or on him except for your head and neck on your pillow. This position gives him control over the thrusting and allows you and your partner to make eye contact, though I think his eyes will be on your full body shakes.
  7. As your man stands, lay down on the ground. Have him lift your waist to meet his. Allow only the top of your head and hands touch the ground. Since your waist and stomach are nearest to him, he can stimulate your clit or rub your sides. As with many of the other positions mentioned here, let gravity take it's tole and enjoy the ride ;).
  8. I have saved the horniest position for last! When you and your mate are feeling crazy, have him turn on the dryer or washer or place you on a counter. Lift both feet above his shoulders and go at it. If you are flexible enough, have him hold you close so that your tits can easily hit off his chest. If you decide upon a dryer or washer, the vibrations will drive you both insane and make this passionate, impulsive position even more steamy.

Chocolate Wine... What Heaven Is Made Of


Share/Bookmark


Chocolate wine?? Yes, the perfect combination of comfort and love has merged into this divine work! Chocolate wine is extremely hard to find unless you are shopping online. The reason such wine is so rare is because chocolate is difficult to temper and flavor better yet to add it to a wine. Chocolate can be added to zinfandel, merlot, syrah, orange, berry wines, and other wines. It is merged most often with zinfandel, merlot, and orange wines.
There are not many brands of chocolate wines as it is fairly difficult to sell on a large scale. Some popular brands that provide chocolate wine include
Chocovine, Rosenblum Cellars, and Wilson Creek. On Google Shopping, prices range from $10 to 26, but prices can be as high as $36 if bought directly from the manufacturer without being a member of their exclusive clubs.
If you don't want to wait to have the wines shipped to you or if you have an elegant date that night, you can opt to make the wine yourself. The Food Network website has an easier alternative to making chocolate wine that anyone can do :D.

Ingredients include:
1 bottle Zinfandel wine,
1 1/2 cups whole milk,
1-ounce quality milk chocolate (finely chopped),
cocoa powder (to garnish).

Directions:
"In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat boil the wine until reduced by half. Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil. Place the chocolate in a small mixing bowl and pour the reduced wine over the top and whisk making sure all of the chocolate is melted. Pour half of the hot milk into the chocolate mixture and whisk to blend. With the remaining milk, froth with a hand blender or a milk frother. Pour the chocolate wine mixture into small cups and spoon some of the milk froth over the top, garnish with cocoa powder and serve hot."

I hope you decide to try this for a wedding, party, or hot date. You can't be disappointed with this sensual treat ;P.

Confidence Will Get You Everywhere


Share/Bookmark


This little .GIF image from The Office probably made you feel good didn't it? Well, that's what a combination of comedy and compliments will do for ya. You see, in order to feel good about yourself you don't need this deep, life-altering experience or revelation. You can prepare for that big date or interview by taking little steps throughout the day to help boost your confidence.

  • Do a good deed every day.
  • Dress to impress.
  • Look in the mirror and note all the things you like about yourself
  • When you begin feeling nervous or anxious, think about your goal whether that be getting that chick or landing that job.
  • Accept compliments and say thank you.
  • Practice smiling. Even if it looks stupid, if you smile even when you aren't happy, you'll begin to feel happy because of others' reactions to your glow.
  • Develop your skills and learn something new.
  • Push your shoulders back. Raise your shoulders to your ears slowly and tightly; hold them there and them drop your shoulders back. You will feel relaxed and look confident.
  • Take deep, long breaths when under pressure. Close your eyes if you need to.
  • Uncross your arms and stand tall. This will better show off your body and make you appear confident.
  • Spend time with yourself. Get to know yourself. Once you develop interests that you can do by yourself and begin to not need someone with you at all times, you will learn to love yourself and cherish the time you spend with you. If you don't have fun with you, how can you expect others to?
  • Begin approaching attractive strangers. Strike up a conversation and realize that good friends and relationships are never out of your reach.
  • Try something new that you never thought you could do. Attempt it and practice. If you suck at math, work at it. If you always wanted to run a marathon but never thought you had the endurance, practice.
  • Break your own boundaries, challenge yourself and you will know that you are capable of doing whatever you want.
No one is stopping you but YOU. Love yourself and you can do anything.
Here are some things you might want to look up that will help you in gaining self-confidence:
1. Neuro Linguistic Programming: This is a powerful and highly influential form of behavioral psychology that can be used to both manipulate others and change yourself for the better. It involves very subtle trigger words and body movements as well as simple marketing techniques. It teaches you how to both read and use motions, words, and imagery to change yourself and others behaviorally. This, like everything, can be used for good and for bad. Please do not manipulate others. This can hurt them permanently if used incorrectly. Politicians, marketers, and news anchors make adequate use of this tool... so this is very helpful to know for other reasons too.
2. The Law of Attraction: Although this has been linked to the New Age movement, it has roots in psychology and ancient philosophy. The theory says that everything is attracted to us by our thoughts. As crazy as this may sound, think of it in a non-religious way. If thoughts carry a frequency and our body language also portrays how we feel about ourselves, then people will react to that. If we change our body image and concentrate on positive affirmations and feel gratitude and self-love, people will respond to those vibes. There are many tips and suggestions on various websites on how to best change your outlook and thus what you attract into your life.
3. Meditation: This has many benefits including encouraging blood flow, calming the mind, relaxation, increased concentration, and self-realization. There are may meditation techniques from around the world. Find and follow your own bliss. When you are true to what you love and seek in life, you will be happy and confident.

Once you realize that happiness comes from within, you will feel like you don't need that job or person because you already have all you really need. That confidence and drive will attract that someone and land you that job or whatever you seek. The awesome meter never lies... now YOU must see the awesomeness within.
According to Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs, you need that feeling of love and acceptance before you can reach self-actualization... so believe in yourself; it's your key to happiness. You CAN find that special someone, just believe in yourself.

"Whether You Believe You Can, Or You Can't, You Are Right."

5 Effective Flirting Tools + Video


Share/Bookmark


Have you ever gone to a bar or night club, saw a girl that you liked, but missed your chance because you didn't know how to approach her? Have you ever been friends with a girl you secretly wanted? If you have experienced either or both problems, the following advice might prove helpful.
Tip no. 1: Listen and Learn- When a girl talks, listen to her. Don't cut her off or call her stupid for her opinion. Be honest, but not cruel; after all, you are after her heart, not an ego boost. Ask her about herself. Listen attentively and ask questions or make comments where appropriate. Make sure that you are talking one on one. If you are in a group, single her out and turn toward her when talking. This way she knows that your attention is on her. Be sincere and ask about what you want to know about. It sucks to find out when a guy isn't sincere and she will stop speaking to you if you do that. Finding out about her is helpful in figuring out whether or not you want to pursue anything more, so it's in your best interest to take this advice.
Tip no. 2: Smile and Be Playful- Girls like a guy with a sense of humor. After you find out what interests her you can gauge as to what will make her laugh. Be playful and fun. Girls are just as laid back as guys when they feel comfortable. Laughter and a smile WILL encourage comfort and attraction. For you guys who have a great sense of humor, she might not know you are flirting unless you display it more. Try to smile when glancing at her. Don't stare but catch her eye. Make sure she sees you look at her: her hair, her eyes, her mouth, her hands, anything that isn't her breasts or ass, lol! Letting your guard down to tell a joke or smile will demonstrate confidence, make her feel more comfortable, and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Don't give her mixed signals by backing off after a good conversation due to lack of confidence. If you DO have to go, tell her good bye and give her a hug. Never just walk off.
Tip no. 3: Shine Through- Be yourself! When taking the above advice, don't pretend to be who you are not. Practice smiling and dressing up prior to your date if you need to feel more comfortable.
Wearing an outfit that will make you feel comfortable or more confident will also help. Also meet her in a place that you know well or that makes you feel at home. Find the little things that will help boost your confidence. Accept compliments and say thanks instead of "That's not true." Let her know that you believe in yourself, so that she can believe in you too. Talk to her about your interests, but make sure to ask about her too. If you only talk about yourself only, you could come off as being arrogant. Feel confident and stick to your guns though. Girls want someone who will be dependable, down to earth, and real.
Tip no. 4: Close the Space Between You- When you are talking, getting to know her, and making her smile, catch her glance and move on in. Don't grope her, lol. Since girls are subtle in flirting, you should be too. Instead of groping her, tickle her, move your leg close to her, lean toward her, sit closer, and/or rest your hand by her side or by her hand. When you do these things, act natural by continuing your conversation with her. Don't grab her hand or put your arm around her unless you gauge that it is okay to do so. NEVER GROPE HER, even as a joke! If you want to smell her or feel more of her, hug her at the end of your meeting. Make sure it is a proper two armed hug. If you had fun then make it a funny hug, but display your wanting to feel her by holding her firmly. Never shake her hand at the end or fist pump.
Tip no. 5: Know When to Back Off- If a girl does not respond or responds negatively, recognize her gestures and back off. Don't try another technique on her, just continue your conversation and don't make any physical gestures to her for the rest of the evening. One thing I have noticed though is that sometimes weird girls play hard to get. You can gauge if that's what she is doing by pulling back more so by turning away when in a group, leaving to talk to your friends then coming back, talking to others and acknowledging her less, etc. I would suggest against this though unless you are looking for a lay because she is an attention whore. It's safer to just back off.
For more help, I have posted this hilarious flirtation advice video from Youtube. In the video, the guy over exaggerates and has fun with it... so don't over exaggerate like in the video but take the advice. Try to let your personality shine through whatever you do, like how this guy tries to be funny when re-enacting a date circumstance.
Happy Hunting :D



How To Know When A Girl Is Into You (Tips + Video)


Share/Bookmark


It actually isn't very difficult to tell if a girl is into you. Girls aren't as forward as guys would want them to be but trust me, we give hints and plenty of them. We display our emotions in various, subtle ways: the way we walk, talk, what we say, and body language. I never realized how much of a problem this was for guys until recently and so this is dedicated to three of my friends who apparently have no idea when a girl actually likes them.
Tip no. 1: Girls rarely state their emotions due to fear of criticism. We tend to state how we feel through body language, jokes, and sarcasm. Read between the lines when talking to us. If you notice that the girl talks about relationships a lot, being lonely, or about how you make them feel, she might be interested. Be aware though that girls give a lot of compliments to their friends. Girls will typically look at you and smile or blush, or look away in a shy manner when paying you a compliment that is meant in a more than friendly way.
Tip no. 2: Girls flirt A LOT. They flirt with guys that they don't even have a real interest in. Girls flirt with guys for many reasons: the guy is cute, the guy is interesting, the guy has money, the guy is there, or the girl needs attention or affection. Try talking to her to determine which of these categories you fall into. Don't be offended if you aren't in the category you want to be in, just take it as a compliment and move on. Some girls are flirts in general and will hit on or hint at any guy or girl. Be aware of these girls and try to avoid them, even if they appear to have similar interests. Dating a flirt can be dangerous to the heart as trust will become an issue. If you decide to date a flirt, just be careful and encourage openness in your relationship.
Tip no. 3: Just because a girl likes you doesn't mean she wants to be with you. This may sound stupid and insane but it is true. Sometimes girls will like things about you or genuinely like you but something either in their own life or about your life might prevent them from pursuing anything more with you. Try to find out what the problem is and find a remedy if possible... if you really want the girl. If you don't think she is worth the hassle, don't dwell on it or get upset; move on.
Tip no. 4: I saved this for last because this is the most obvious and subtle of all hints: body language. All girls flirt differently but there are common themes. Girls will try to demonstrate either confidence or shyness to attract a guy. She might try to be one of the guys or more seductive. ALL girls will laugh, blush, smile, glance and look away, or fiddle. Here is a video I found that is helpful. I love these videos because they are so corny and over-exaggerated. The hints shown in this video do not apply to everyone. Watch the girl you like, her movements and behavior. She might notice that you are noticing her and take a more active interest ;).
