Hope Dies Last Giveaway

January 30, 2012

After the big break-up in the fall and some minor romantic set-backs in January, I’m finally starting to embrace my singleness. I haven’t been truly single in close to 7 years and even before that I was always dating some guy or another. Right now I’m working on getting to know myself better and trying to figure out what being single means [...]

Break it Off with Smoking. So I Don’t Have to Break it Off with You.

January 27, 2012

This post is sponsored by Break it Off  — a Canadian Cancer Society campaign designed to help young Canadians end their relationship with smoking for good. Today I’m going to talk about something I am passionate about: quitting smoking. “But Simone, I thought this blog was supposed to be about sex, dating, relationships and your obsession with shoes & overpriced hand bags?!” Smoking and [...]

The Luna Pleasure Bead System by Lelo.

January 23, 2012

Don’t get me wrong – I love trying out new sex toys but every so often, I get in the mood to try something “different” other than a vibrator. I was excited and intrigued to try the Luna Pleasure Bead system by Lelo. I’m sure some of you are looking at the photos below and wondering “What the hell are those?!” Let [...]

Fuck Broken Hearts. I’m Going to Vegas.

January 18, 2012

Following the big break-up this fall, my romantic interactions with the opposite sex have not proven to be successful. This post is just a small fraction of the whole story. There’s lots more. Too much to share on the blog at this point. I prefer to air my dirty laundry only once it has been hung out to dry for a long time [...]

Inside my Bag 2.0

January 13, 2012

I don’t know about you but I never get tired of seeing what’s inside people’s bags. I find it fascinating what people carry with them on a daily basis. Maybe I am just totally nosy… I did a post about what’s inside my bag two years ago so I decided it’s time for an update. Meet my purse. I’ve been carrying this [...]

Learning to Spend on the Right Things

January 11, 2012

I didn’t make any real New Years Resolutions this year (except for one: “Learn how to drive” – more on that later). I already have a long list of things I have been working on since November. One of the things I do want to focus on in 2012 is “spending money on the right things.” When I sat down in November [...]

Here’s to a Wetter & Better 2012

January 9, 2012

Thank you to Astroglide and Single Edition for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. My view on lube has changed over the years. When I was younger and having a lot of awkward sex, I’d often reach for the lube to help make the process smoother ie. when the guy was larger than normal, I wasn’t turned on enough* or [...]

What Do I Have to Do to Get Sexually Harrassed in this Town?!

January 3, 2012

A few days before New Years I was walking through Chapters, browsing books when the song “Seasons of Love” (from the musical Rent) come on the store’s stereo system. I started humming along to the song’s chorus: “Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes…” It’s a beautiful song and while listening to it I should have been having a misty-eyed moment about [...]
