VOL. 32

1, 3, 6, 11 these are numbers that correspond with the amount of times a week that couples have sex.

A close friend once confided in me that she once had 6 weeks of sexless frustration, which got me thinking, what to you do when the sex scale is on the slide?

A stale bed mate is like a beautiful sports car confined to the garage because it has no engine. How do you get the revs back in the bedroom and get the accelerator needle flickering with interest?

With all good doctors advising that we should have 1 hour of moderate excercise 3 times a week to maintain a healthier lifestyle, one must wonder, why should we go out for a jog, when so much more enjoyable exercise can be found a little closer to home (or a little closer to the bedroom........)   

VOL. 31

Impulse purchasing is a lot like impulse dating, in a moment of weakness we end up committing to an item or a person in which we would not usually.

Is it that we don’t think that we will ever have another chance to purchase or may not get another offer?

The instant satisfaction of the buy and the buzz of having plans are soon over come with an uneasiness that comes from a realisation that we know that we have made the wrong decision.

The item in which we hold no longer looks as shiny and appealing as it once did on display, and the man with whom you have a date no longer seems a must have.

The unfortunate side of an impulse date is that there is no receipt for a possible return.

In a world of now, now, now, I wonder is there such thing as “dating” buyers remorse?  

VOL. 30

A new relationship can be compared to the 2010 Christian Louboutin Miss Clichy 140 boots, the instant compulsion to attain them is almost unholy and can sometimes blindside even the most responsible of buyers.

But once the swipe of the card secures your very own, and the tissue paper has been removed, relationships like with any shoes worth their salt maintenance is key, leather shoes should be polished and protected, like a fledgling romance protection, nourishment and up keep will ensure years of enjoyment and comfort.

If we are supposed to walk a mile in our relationships, aren’t they the soles that are really worth saving?

VOL. 29

Wednesday the 2nd  of June was the dawn of the new sex and the city movie. 

Jetty and the sexettes rocked up in our finest to pay homage to the fab four whose fashion follies have sustained our sartorial subconscious so superbly. 

It was fashion, fun and Fahrenheit from start to fabulous end. 

And while man candy was on the menu, it was the wardrobes that got our pulses and our purses racing. 

My anticipation for the movie to start was quickly replaced by a wish for it never to end. Which goes to show that like I have been saying all along, SEX really is so so good for the soul .
