“Sperm pill” is a term that is commonly used to describe specific male enhancement products. Sperm pills are supplements that have been proven to increase ejaculation fluid, sperm activity, and sperm count during the ejaculation process. Typically, during an erection, sexual arousal causes increased blood flow through the arteries in the penis. These arteries expand, allowing for more blood to enter the penile region, while the veins that control the blood flowing out of the penis simultaneously contract. The hardening effect that this process has on the tissues of the penis is what causes an erection. At the peak of penile arousal, ejaculation occurs, in which the sperm is released from the penis. The larger the amount of fluid ejaculated, the more pleasurable the sexual experience, as well as the greater chance for increased sperm count.
Many men endure the frustrating experience of a decrease in their ability to experience full erections, suffer from premature ejaculation, or weak ejaculation with ineffective orgasms. All experiences can prohibit sperm count and decrease sperm activity. This is where sperm pills come in. A sperm pill not only greatly enhances the sexual experience in and of itself, but also the ejaculation process.
Male enhancement supplements containing a high level of amino acids assist the body in creating more ejaculation fluid. The benefits of using a sperm pill such as this are numerous. Not only is sperm count increased, but sperm activity is also magnified. Another major advantage is the effect of additional ejaculation fluid on the orgasmic experience, itself. Increased fluid prolongs the orgasm, allowing for a very intense and drawn out experience. Basically, what happens in this instance is the fluid pumps through the penis for a longer duration, which extends the peak of orgasm. Another benefit is that this causes more force behind the ejaculation process, allowing for more likelihood of sperm activity.
There are a few herbal supplements on the market today that have naturally high levels of amino acids as an ingredient. Not only are these remarkable products known to increase penis erection, size, stamina, desire, and performance, they have become leaders in the industry by providing increased ejaculation fluid production.

We’re positive that no matter how you see yourself — trendy, corporate or casual — your ultimate goal is to look “together” - to look beautiful and elegant in your poise and style of clothing and accessories. You spend hours looking for the right outfit and analyze it many times over to make sure it perfects and gives you that eye catching look. But do you give that same time and scrutiny to your accessories like your purse and handbag before throwing it over your shoulder and leaving the house?
You probably didn’t know that a purse can flatten your curves almost as much as the right pair of pants or shirt. Now that we have your attention read on to determine your shape and what type purse you should carry.
Try to choose a purse shape that is the opposite of your body type. While the shape should oppose your body type for maximum flattery, the size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure. If you are tall and thin, look for the large sloppy bags that lay against you to compliment your figure. If you’re short and voluptuous, play off opposites by choosing a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long and sleek.
Most women look great with a bag that hits mid-torso because it flatters the waist.
Take a look at the five basic body shapes and find the best purse for your shape:
• Narrow Top/Full Bottom
If you have full hips or tummy and small top, draw the eye up with accessories. You should carry a bag with short straps that fits snug under your arm.
• Full Top/Narrow Bottom
If the fullness you carry on top is unwanted (some do pay for it, you know) turn the area into a “no man’s land”. Nothing should cause the eye to linger so draw the eye downwards by carrying long slouching bags.
• Hour Glass
If you got it girl, flaunt it! This shape best describes a woman who is balanced on top and bottom with a defined waist and is considered the ideal body shape. You can carry off anythinglucky lady!!
• Narrow/Top to Bottom
If you are naturally thin, you have always faced the challenges that come with dressing this body shape. If you are unnaturally thin — by choice — you probably, prefer to show it off. The key is to add dimension to your profile. Don’t choose a bag that will hug the body too much. Think unstructured, bulky type purses. Try anything with horizontal detail in the patterns.
• WIDE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
In general, the rounder your figure, the more structured your purse should be. For this body type, shape and color is important. Colors should be muted, monochromatic is best and prints should be kept to a minimum. Draw the eye to the top or center of the torso with a mid-length strap.
Now you know the right purse for you! Always remember to try on the bagjust like you would clothing and shoes. Remember that where the purse touches your body, that part of your body is accentuated. For example, if the purse is under your arm against your breast, the eye is drawn up to the bag.
So take the time to look for the right purse for youit’s not always the same purse that your best friend carries. A purse should not only carry your personal belongings, it should add to your style and looks.

The capacity to lead is an extraordinary skill. Good leaders
learn to first recognize and then manage change. They inspire
others with their passion, creativity and the willingness to
listen.
Last month, a woman played in a Men’s Pro Golf Tournament. For
those of you who don’t follow the golfing world outside of Tiger
Woods, this was not only controversial, it drew new attention to
the differences between men and women in sport, and why a woman
would find it even remotely appropriate to play in a man’s
tournament. What effect would this have on a traditionally male
dominated sport and what’s wrong with playing in your own
sandbox?
A quick education on Women’s Golf: Annika Sorenstam is the
‘Tiger Woods’ of Women’s Golf. She is young, talented, and wins
just about every tournament she plays. So why would she pursue
something so unorthodox? Is it Ego, money, attention, or desire
to push beyond the traditional limits?
I bring this novel feat to your attention because it is not
about men vs. women, or can/should a woman play in a men’s
tournament. It is all about leadership and the value learned
from her experience. As a coach, the question of the day is:
• What is the impact for Annika by playing at the Colonial Golf
Tournament and how will this transform her course? Here’s how it
plays out for me.
The Top of the Mountain…. Imagine truly being at the top of your
game, regularly being ‘in the zone’, and you have nothing but
blue sky in front of you. You then stop to contemplate and ask
what more can I learn, where can I grow, is their more to my
game, and what would happen if I were able stretch just that
little bit more? Am I really at the top of my “own mountain”?
Admiration… How many of us are willing to risk everything we’ve
known— in Annika’s case her status as the top woman golfer in
the world, confidence, the role or position she has earned in
the golfing community, and her sense of self. She knowingly
subjected herself to intense media scrutiny that questioned her
motives, and was the target of other golfers who didn’t
appreciate her presence. Can you imagine what she must have been
feeling as she teed off that first day?
Choices…. My assessment of her choice to play at the Colonial is
that she could have have continued as the dominating woman’s on
the LPGA Tour. Instead she chose to ask ‘am I capable of more?
By expanding her universe, exposing her game for what it is and
what it is not requires courage, moxy, and ambition. She took
off the safety belt and dove in.
Annika is a role model for all of us and has shown us the value
of strengthand not allowing fear to put artificial limitations
on how we traditionally think. It’s about performance. To the
women golfers and other athletes, she has shown them that they
too are capable of more, can raise their game and become more
competitive. Take yourself back to a time when you were on top
of the world, and you had a moment to think about how you got
there. Now ask yourself if you are there today. If not consider
these questions: • What is the most important thing you want to
accomplish this year? • What is the most exciting thing
happening right now that you are not taking advantage of? • What
goal would really stretch you right now/? • How are you going to
do that?
Applying Leadership and Growth…. Requesting more of ourselves
vs. resting on our laurels can have a huge impact in our
companies and our personal lives. What we may find around the
corner is a renewed appreciation for ourselves/organizations and
new skills that allow us to raise our standards increase our
performance and amplify our contribution. When we are willing to
risk what we already are, we create new opportunities. The very
definition of ‘evolution’ and ‘entrepreneur’ starts with
challenging individual responsibility, creativity and risk.
Making the Stretch…. What are the qualities you most admire in
elite athletes and leaders and how do these qualities apply to
you? Some examples are: Focus - Discipline/dedication - Natural
talent/ability - Competitive nature/drive - Desire - Passion -
Mastery They exemplify what we value most. Where in your life
are you willing to find out what’s next, and what is possible?
Qualities of a Leader…. As I stated earlier, this is not a
battle between the sexes. It is about examining our own
abilities, and as leaders asking more of ourselves while being
open to growthwherever it comes from– breaking down
traditional barriers and pushing through to a new level.
How the story ends…. So how did Annika do? At the conclusion of
day 1 at the Colonial, she was at par, and on the second day
struggled and did not make the final cut. Since the Colonial,
she has one her last two tournaments. Quoting her after last
weekend’s playoff win: “At the Colonial it was the journey to
winning. Maybe with all that pressure I experienced then, that’s
what helped me to pull through today.”
Based on these results, do you think she is better off today for
taking the risk? I think she demonstrates living your best life.
I wish her great success, whatever that ends up being.

Taking care of your curly hair can be a challenge if you don’t
know what products and tools work best with this hair type. It
is essential to understand curly hair so that it’s easy for you
to manage and looks good.
Here Are Some Curly Hair Conditioning Tips: STEPS:
Give your curls a hot oil treatment every 2-3 weeks to add
moisture to the hair.
It is especially necessary to do
this during the colder months where hair can become dry and
brittle. It’s also important during warm months when swimming
and chlorine can wreck havok on curls. It’s best to counter it
with a hot oil treatment.
The heat opens up the inner
cortex and penetrates the hair shaft. You can find this at your
local drug store. A good hot oil treatment is Alberto VO5 Hot
oil treatment. Each tube is 14 ml. It claims that if used
regularly, it will lead to 55% stronger hair.
TIPS:
Trim the hair every 6-8 weeks to get rid of
stringy ends and keep the hair looking tapered.
Use
diluted essential oils on the hair for added manageability and
shine.
Warnings: If you are using essential oils,
always remember to dilute them first before using them on any
part of your body - whether hair or skin.
Remember, curly hair is a blessing not a curse. If you know the
tiny changes you can make to your daily styling routine, it
makes things so much easier. There will be little or no bad hair
days ahead and you’ll look that much more fabulous and feel that
much better about your curls.
Confidence is always an essential ingredient to looking
good!

What is laser hair removal and how does it work?
It is a relatively new treatment that makes use of lasers to
remove hair from the body.
The practitioner uses a hand held device that emits a laser that
penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair. Once absorbed
heat energy is produces in the hair which travels down the shaft
and destroys the root.
The laser uses a beam of light which penetrates the skin and is
absorbed by the pigment colour in the hair where it is converted
to heat.
Is it safe?
Yes. The laser settings are customised depending on your skin
and hair colour. There is very little risk of any damage to your
skin.
Will the laser hair removal treatment get rid of my hair
permanently?
Tiny hair re-growth is possible but comparing laser hair removal
with other methods of hair removal it produces the best long
term results. Hair grown after the treatment is usually very
thin and weak and can be easily treated.
Does it hurt?
Laser treatment is not completely painless, usually a slight
sting can be felt but it is no where near the pain experienced
when waxing or epilating. Most patients can bare it without the
need of anaesthesia. However patients with very low pain
thresholds can ask for a cream based anaesthesia to be applied
to the skin.
Can everyone get it done?
No. I am afraid it is not possible to treat very light shades of
hair such as white, grey, light blonde etc.
In addition to hair colour people with dark skin can only be
treated with very specialised lasers available at very few laser
hair removal clinics. Tanned people with light hair cannot be
treated.
The treatment works best on light skinned people with dark hair.
How long does the treatment take?
That depends solely on the size of the area being operated on.
It can take anywhere between 10 minutes, for parts such as the
chin to about 35 minutes for the back.
What areas can be treated?
Apart from parts very close to the eye all other areas such as
legs, back, arms, bikini line, chest etc can be treated.
How much does it cost?
Laser hair removal treatment is not cheap. That depends on the
size of the area being treated. Usually it costs about 200
dollars per session of small areas such as the upper lip/chin
rising to 500 for large areas such as the back and the legs.
How many sessions are required?
Many factors come into play and it varies from patient to
patient but usually anywhere between three and six are needed
for the best results.
What should I expect after the laser hair removal treatment?
The laser treatment area goes pink after the treatment, like
sunburn, and stays that way for about one to two days. Minor
discomfort will be felt during this period. The laser treated
hair falls off by itself within a few days.

Ok, so maybe you started smoking thinking it looked cool and that it might affect your sex life to look cool, or be grown up or rebellious or whatever.
You are of course totally correct in assuming that smoking affects your sex life. In fact, several recent studies have looked at exactly this question in regard to male impotence and found that there is a link between smoking and difficulties having an erection. Now tell me how cool is that? That is surely far too grown up, that is as grown up as your aged grandfather!
Smoking has been linked to coronary artery blockage, but now we know that arteries in the penis are damaged by smoking, too. In a study of men with penile artery blockage (average age 35), the smokers were significantly more blocked than non-smokers. And the more they smoked, the more their arteries were blocked. Since erections are mainly caused by blood flowing into the penis through arteries, unclogged arteries are very important in enhancing one’s sex life.
Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it tightens blood vessels and restricts blood flow. In the long term, it has even been shown to cause permanent damage to arteries. Since a man’s erection depends on blood flow, researchers assumed smoking would affect erections. Studies have confirmed this time and again. In one study published in 1986 in Addiction Behavior, it was shown that just two cigarettes could cause softer erections in male smokers. Results are corroborated by a definitive study published in June 2001 that looked at all studies done on impotent men over the last two decades. The research showed that 40 percent of men affected by impotence were smokers, as opposed to 28 percent of the general male population. Interesting eh?
So what does all this discussion about impotence mean for women? During sexual arousal, the labia, clitoris, and vagina also swell up with blood, similar to a man’s penis, enhancing sensation and arousal. If nicotine can restrict blood flow and cause erectile dysfunction in men, it can be assumed that blood flow is restricted in women as well, and may have a negative effect on sensation.
In the British Medical Associations report: “Smoking and Reproductive Life”, the report states that Women who smoke take longer to conceive. Among smokers, the chances of conceiving fall by 10 - 40 per cent per cycle. The greater the quantity of cigarettes smoked, the longer a woman is likely to take to achieve pregnancy.
Cigarette smoking can also affect male fertility: smoking reduces the quality of semen. Men who smoke have a lower sperm count than non-smokers, and their semen contains a higher proportion of malformed sperm. By-products of nicotine present in semen of smokers have been found to reduce the mobility of sperm.
Of course, quitting smoking would also eliminate stained teeth, unhealthy skin, rapid accumulation of wrinkles on the face, and clothing, hair, and breath that stink of smoke. That might improve one’s sex life. Decreasing your risk of cancer and heart disease which also do tend to have negative effects on one’s sex life can also be sexy in the long run.
Smokers may have enjoyed a sexy image in the past, but research tells us that they are not “doing it” as often as non-smokers. Studies show that men between 25 and 40 years who smoked one or more packs per day had sex less often than non-smoking men of the same age. Another study suggested that carbon monoxide in the blood caused by smoking inhibits the production of testosterone (a hormone that creates sex drive).
Lastly, smoking affects fertility. Smokers’ sperm come in many sizes and shapes - many of them not normal. Some have two tails or two heads, others have giant or tiny heads, and some have split tails. The more a man smokes, the worse the damage. Nicotine essentially poisons the sperm and its ability to fertilize an egg.
Smoking isn’t good for your lungs or heart as is very well documented, and it certainly isn’t good for your sex life. It is no longer cool. Are you sleeping with an inactive ashtray? Is your libido being smoked away?

Now since the ancient days of the traveling mistral or
fireside Shaman, every culture around the world had storytellers
that instructed youths and adults on how to find happiness when
it seemed to be lost. Knowing that people sometimes can not
bring ownership to their problems or just will be simply bored
with allot of technical jargon. So they invented fabulous
stories to captivate our imaginations using the symbols that
resonate deep within our minds from a time before language was
ever created. The same place in a baby turtle on Galapagos
Island knows to run to the ocean as fast as possible and zag or
zig when it sees a shadow from above without ever seeing a hawk
or gull before. Allot of tales have to do with helping a child
to follow its instinct’s when a care giver or parent is
insufficient in his roles as a teacher or becomes just down
right abusive. Under harrowing circumstances, how can a child
retain what it knows to be true in its heart under such
constructs. Or reshape them in the future to save their lives?
As Carl Jung and the women that proceeded him; Woodman, Pinkola
Estes, Von Franz; they found these stories of regained truth in
the fairy Tales and Myths of the world. For your listening
pleasure, I have encapsulated one as an example.
Bluebeard
Three daughters were raised amongst their mother and father,
plus two brothers. But before the youngest daughter reached
puberty the father and the two brothers were sent off to war.
Not to return for many years.
So it came to the time that the youngest daughter was itching
for a mate. So her and her two sisters were riding in the
commons on Sunday as the finest men and women paraded out and
about on horseback in all their finery. When the youngest of
them spied a man with a blue beard. The older sisters were taken
a a back by his appearance. “Look at that Blue beard, how
revolting!” said the oldest with the second oldest consented
with a guffaw. But the youngest remarked he was quite striking.
The sisters stared in disbelief at their sibling. The second
oldest mentioned he was rumored to have been married several
times. The oldest concurred and added his wives have never been
heard from again. ” But he is quite cute!” said the youngest as
she rode off to make his acquaintance.
Within the month the youngest was married and living in his
castle. Now the castle with its moat is the symbol of the
subconscious’s. It represents the journey from your skull across
the water barrier to your brain. This is where all the fun
happens, if you like it or not. Because the drawbridge slams
shut once you enter..
One day after a week of marriage, Bluebeard announced that he
must go on a prolonged journey to pay for her luxurious room and
board. A normal occurrence that happens even today, making the
woman feel like she is married to a stranger. He handed her the
keys to all the rooms of the castle including one small key.
This was to the room she was to never enter upon. Unless
desiring serious consequences to her well being. So he left and
she of course checked out all the rooms. Especially the one with
the little key!
When she opened that door she was taken back by a mass of
congealed blood on the floor that had leaked and splattered out
by all the corpses she now found lying upon the floor and nailed
to the walls. Arms to the right and the heads stacked to the
left. Here was all his past wives. This represents the skeletons
in the closet we all have/ the problems, obstacles, and
challenges we must face to get to a better life. But like she
did, we find it easier just to close that door as quick as we
found it. We always think we can clean out the cobwebs of the
closet another day. But like Daffy Duck, every time we put
things off, we get the closet emptying onto our head. Like an
avalanche.
Now the woman tries to hide the key in a cupboard. But it leaks
blood onto the floor. She hides it in a pantry, but the blood
gives up its location. No matter where she hid it, the blood
soon gave it up. This represents the time when we see where
change is needed in our lives, we can not escape or deny it. We
must face it to bring change. If we do not… Bluebeard enters
once again and asks for the keys. Now the cost of our mistakes
get higher, and eventually may lead to death if we do not answer
them. She gives him all but the one. He knows right off the bat
she has been in the room. He now represents the man who is
afraid of us seeing him for what he is, who wants to blind us to
the truth about his abuse. For he fears change the most. He has
to admit to the abuse he has received in the past and feel the
guilt for the abuse he has given. If you change he must also. So
he becomes quite irate. On another level it is our own shadows
who will not let us rest until we bring the change necessary to
our lives. For this time it welcomes the danger into your home,
for all harm that comes to you, granted under great duress, you
invited in. It is the spanking that has been put off too long.
So Bluebeard chases her through the castle, our minds, with a
sword ready to kill her. Her sisters appear to help her and keep
a look out for her brothers coming back from war. Now since at
the age of puberty, the youngest daughter had no healthy male
figure in her life, she could not tell by his beard like her
sisters that he was dangerous. The oldest had the father and
brother to teach them what a loving man is. The youngest did
not. So the return of the brothers is the healthy animus
returning to save the youngest sister. So now in the distance
the smoke from the dust cloud of her brothers on horseback can
be seen. The sisters yell to them and they increase their pace
to a full gallop. Bluebeard is ascending after his wife
proclaiming ” I do not want to hurt you, I just want to bash
your brains in.” She is almost to the top steps where her
sisters sits, when the two brothers bust into the room and
dispatch the blue meanie. It is never too late to have healthy
men in your life to learn from. They will teach you as friends
how to find a healthy mate. For the brothers come in time to
slay the shadow Bluebeard and prepare the youth for a healthy
marriage in the future.
Now did you ever think a fairy tale could ever be that important?
Summary…. In our adolescence it is important to have a healthy
sex role model to shape our construct of what a loving male or
female is so we will be attracted to a healthy mate. Bluebeard
is a fairy tale about what happens when this does not happen by
absence or abuse by a sexual role model.
This is fairy tale interpretation. There is a story for
everyone. There is no mistake that you have made that has not
happened already without a story of how to solve the problem.
Come and see…

As we go through life, we are faced with many obstacles, and
sometimes we make the wrong decision, assumption, and sometimes
we just simply make mistakes. We are all human, we all make
mistakes and in reality we all can learn from them.
After making a mistake, its normal to feel bad about what we
did. We wonder how or why we made that mistake, regretting it,
and sometimes we may even dwell on it to the point of feeling
depressed. Of course its ok to feel bad about it, but don’t feel
bad for too long because life does go on.
Through the years I have learned to look at my mistakes and turn
them into a lesson for myself, a positive lesson. No matter what
the situation is, I learn and grow from it, and if ever put in
the same situation again, the outcome is a more positive one.
The next time you make a mistake, accept it, deal with it and
then think about the positive lesson you can learn from it. You
may be able to give someone great advice based on mistakes you
have made.
Mistakes are all a part of life; they are things we can call our
own. Learn from your mistakes because life is a never-ending
lesson.

Menopause is brought on by low levels of estrogen and progesterone and can cause symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, memory loss and difficulty concentrating, insomnia and fatigue, frequent urination, and mood swings. Many women going through the change of life opt for menopause natural remedies for various reasons. Most women choose menopause natural remedies because they are worried about the adverse-side effects of conventional medicine.
Women who experience vaginal dryness often use estrogen creams or Vitamin E. Vitamin E can be found abundantly in cucumbers, asparagus, mackerel, haddock, lamb, kale, liver, brown rice, safflower oil, sesame oil, almonds, and mangoes. Vitamin E is good in aiding vaginal dryness, but if you have rheumatic heart disease or a history of high blood pressure it should not be taken in excess.
Hot flashes are one of the main menopause symptoms and are present in nearly all women. Black cohosh imitates the effects of estrogen and can be used as a menopause natural remedy for hot flashes (can also be used to help reduce vaginal dryness, anxiety, and irritability). Black cohosh can be found in health stores and comes in the form of either tea or supplements.
Bioflavonoids are good menopause natural remedies and act as estrogen substitutes. They will help relieve symptoms of mood swings and hot flashes. Bioflavonoids are found in citrus fruits mostly. Vitamin B-Complex is one thing that can be lost due to the emotional stress that often accompanies menopause and can worsen symptoms, especially mood swings. Replacements of Vitamin B can be found abundantly in wheat germ or can be taken as supplements.
Women who notice an increase in urination or those who contract a urinary tract infection can take Echinacea or Vitamin C. Vitamin C is found in broccoli, cabbage, kale, collards, parsley, asparagus, tomatoes, salmon, and liver. Cranberry juice and water can also help with urinary tract infections.
Mood swings are horrible for both the person who has them as well as everyone else around. Fatty acids are a good menopause natural remedy that can help to regulate hormones and reduce mood swings. Examples of fatty acids are Omega 3 and Omega 6. Fatty acids can also be found in flaxseed, pumpkinseeds, mackerel, tuna, salmon, sunflower oil, sesame oil, and safflower oil.
A healthy diet, regular exercise program, and getting plenty of rest can even act as menopause natural remedies. Foods that should be eaten regularly during menopause include fresh fruits, vegetables, and, whole grains, such as brown rice, corn, barley, oatmeal, wild rice, nuts, and seeds. Soy (soymilk and tofu), oils (olive, sesame, sunflower, and canola), and fish and poultry are good foods to consume during menopause. Foods that should be eaten sparingly are salt, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods. Exercise is also a vital menopause natural remedy. Not only will it control weight and increase energy, it will also relieve some symptoms like anxiety, depression, and hot flashes.
Menopause natural remedies can help greatly in reducing menopausal symptoms and making the big change in life for women a much easier and more pleasant transition. Remember that it is always important to consult your physician before beginning any remedies to make sure they won’t harm your health nor have adverse effects.
