Rocket Balm is a balm containing a mixture of oils, but the main oil used that you can feel within seconds wherever applied is the peppermint oil.
On a man, its main recommended use is to be applied on the head of the penis and frenulum. Within just seconds, this balm sends a cooling sensation to the body and heightens arousal. It can be used for masturbatory purposes and also for foreplay. What may come as a shock is that when the initial foreplay is over and a woman moves down to give oral sex, she is pleasantly surprised that the Rocket Balm is also stimulating her lips and mouth but not numbing them, which is a nice change from many massage oils that are on the market that tend to numb whatever it is applied to within a few seconds. Because a lot of women find that when they have a little more going on for them, they are happy to go down on a man for a longer amount of time, Rocket Balm works phenomenally for just that. When the oral is finished, you may move on to intercourse and the worst thing you could do at this point is wash the Rocket Balm off of yourself before having sex.
Rocket Balm, when used during sex, is a sensation no one should ever miss out on; male or female! Because of the internal rubbing going on, the balm intensifies and because it is stimulating you, an orgasm comes a lot sooner than expected. This can also be used and equally as effective during anal sex; the sensation is intense and downright wonderful. After just a month or so of using it I’m going to have to get another container soon because I cannot get enough of it.
If you’re a single woman or just feel a little weird using something called Rocket Balm, check out the female version of this amazing balm–Flower Balm!
Bell peppers are great for you, yet not so many people eat them as much as they should. They contain high levels of vitamin C which can act as an anti-inflammatory to decrease symptoms of arthritis. They also contain carotenoid compounds, which may enhance vision and decrease the risk of cataracts.
So here is a recipe for a delicious pasta topping using three peppers to help your health.
You will need:
- one yellow, red and green bell peppers
- extra-virgin olive oil
- whole wheat pasta
Directions:
1. Cut yellow, red and green bell peppers into thin strips.
2. Saute 1 cup of peppers in 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
3. Toss peppers with cooked whole-wheat pasta (2 ounces dry).
Extra-virgin olive oil is rich in polyphenol compounds, which help increase good HDL-cholesterol levels and decrease bad LDL levels.
It is not always in our best interest to start a complete exercise program or diet program if we are not already used to working out. I went to a huge fair last weekend, walked around for over eight hours and for the next three days could barely move because my legs were so sore from walking so much; so if you’re like me, starting a diet/exercise program could possibly end up hurting you and that is something we definitely don’t want. However, there are very small, simple things we can do to take care of our bodies and keep them healthy; ‘healthy’ and ‘fit’ do not necessarily mean you have to be or get down to a size 4; you can be a size 12 to 16 and still be in great shape.
Firstly, do not be afraid of the stairs. Stairs can be your friend–Just look at the people buying portable steps to exercise on; if you have them in your house, don’t be afraid of making an extra trip up or down stairs and to top it off, it will give you some great calorie burning and muscle strengthening.
Go for a walk around the block, walk the dog or the kids to school or to the bus stop; again, the operative thing here is that you are simply just moving. It is important to take a walk, especially if it’s nice outside so you can enjoy the fresh air and your surroundings at least once, preferably twice a day, every day.
Plan activities. Activities can mean anything where you are again, moving. Plan a trip to the park, play softball, basketball, soccer; any type of sport where you can have fun with you friends and family and make it not seem so much as exercise, but just having a good time with the people you care about.
Yes, these tips sound painfully obvious, but the next time you look at the clock and realize you’ve been sitting at your compute for eight straight hours, perhaps you can recall reading this and get out and take a quick walk or jog around the block.
Most people go through that awkward acne stage; most people also go through the agonizing experience of trying every face wash, exfoliant, moisturizer, cleansing wipes and creams that will get rid of their acne. When it comes to acne treatment, it can really start to feel like you are grasping at straws trying to find a solution. I went through my own awkward acne stage along with a frustrating experience trying to find an acne treatment that would work for me.
It is hard to pinpoint the causes of acne, but in most people, they find that the one thing that is always there is stress. Whether it is stress from school, work, or even from breaking out, acne can easily turn into something you just can’t seem to get rid of. A great way to reduce the amount of breakouts you have is to simply relax. Relaxation and exercise can do wonders for your skin and can also even turn into a skin care regime; keeping your body and mind healthy helps keep your complexion healthy and looking great. However, no matter how healthy you are, you may end up with a case of acne if someone in your family, especially a parent, had acne or still experiences adult acne; genetics is a big determining factor.
There are countless products on the market today to help ease, get rid of and treat acne for good but when it comes to acne treatment, there are so many options to the point where there are too many and while you may feel like you’re in the dark when trying to pick a few to try, it is best to start reading reviews and see what has worked for the most amount of people.
An effective treatment for chronic acne that is completely natural and is said to work better than a run of the mill acne cream is Acnezine. Acnezine is a dual cream and pill that work together to completely rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.
Acenzine not only sounds like a miracle formula, but it has been tested and reviewed and is considered to be the most effective product on the market today.
It isn’t something that many people talk about or are comfortable talking about, but it happens. Considering the amount of women who are pregnant or who have experienced hemorrhoids while pregnant or those who have office jobs or who work at home on their computers for several hours a day, people frequently get hemorrhoids but not many people know the specific causes or ways to go about making sure that their bodies are in good health and treating it effectively.
While pregnant women and people who hold jobs that involve a lot of sitting do make up a great amount of people who get hemorrhoids, the number one cause is constipation and the number one cause of constipation is your diet. When it comes to your health, one thing directly affects another and so on and because of that, we really must start at the root of a problem. In this case, your diet is extremely important. It is best to eat foods that contain a good amount of fiber and if that isn’t possible, there are a great deal of different fiber supplements that are available and make it easier to have regular bowel movements. It is also very important to drink at least 6 glasses of water per day to keep you regular and in good health.
It is important not to wait to get this condition treated since they can become more and more painful over time and ultimately, if not treated, could result in surgery. There are several ways to go about treatment; because everyone’s body is a little different, it is important to do a little research and see what type and brand of hemorrhoids treatment is right for you.
Rated by hemorrhoid sufferers and professionals, the number one rated treatment for hemorrhoids is Venapro. Venapro is safe to use, works the fastest with a 97% success rate, is highly recommended by doctors and has no side-effects. Best of all, with Venapro you have the security of a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t work for you. To find out more about the number one rated hemorrhoid treatment, just check out the Venapro reviews.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have been photographed by paparazzi several (hundreds) of times and Lohan finally confirmed the public’s assumption that she and Samantha Ronson are an item. Not only that, but she and Ronson, a 31 year old DJ, are said to have been dating for “a very long time.”
Lohan confirmed this on Monday night during the syndicated radio program “Loveline.” Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, told The Associated Press on Monday that Lohan is not engaged to be married, as the tabloids have been publishing as of late.
All I can say is good for them! The pictures that have been coming out of the two of them show them having a great time and truly enjoying each other’s company and with that, you can want nothing more.

Teen pregnancies are popping up all over the place, but perhaps the two most notable of the year were 17 year old Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy and birth of daughter Maddie and 17 years old Bristol Palin, daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. But there is one, major difference between the two–Lynne Spears believes that Jamie Lynn was crucified by the public for her pregnancy while Bristol’s pregnancy is being celebrated while her mother, Sarah Palin, is continuously being congratulated and applauded.
Lynne Spears says:
“Every woman in the world has applauded her strength and her convictions and poor little old Jamie Lynn, you saw how she was crucified – everybody did, firsthand,” Lynne said. “I just feel like it’s been a very hypocritical situation.”
Lynne also speaks about how the public has accused Jamie Lynn of glamorizing teen pregnancy, which she says isn’t the case.
“We don’t want this said, ’cause this would be glamorizing, but I will tell you a secret: her baby does sleep all night,” Lynne explained. “What do you think about those apples?
“Maddie is the best baby I have ever seen,” Lynne added. “She is like a little angel. She’s so contented. She laughs and she coos and ahead of herself with her stages. But of course we can’t tell that because then we would just glamorize it more.”

The Rabbit Habit, made famous by the hit television show Sex and the City, is by far the ultimate sex toy for women.
With a shaft that moves in a circular motion, a collection of beads that rotate against your vaginal opening and a rabbit-shaped vibrator positioned a bit closer to the shaft than the original Rabbit Habit toy for clitoral stimulation that is more direct and aggressive than the original proves to be just the right combination of touches to stimulate an orgasm that you simply do not know is possible until you experience it.
In the show Sex and the City, Charlotte becomes obsessed with her Rabbit to the point where she cancels time out with the girls and basically everything else in her life and begins to treat her Rabbit Habit like a relationship based purely on sex. While some may snicker, laugh and make jokes about this, I can completely understand it as the Rabbit Habit is so good that you never want the enjoyment to stop–And as long as you stock up on AA batteries, it doesn’t. The Rabbit Habit is like that must-have-packed item if you’re going away for a few days; it is the item that sits right below pants on your checklist: “Okay so we have underwear, pants, Rabbit, toothbrush, check.”
The Elastomer Rabbit Habit from Babeland is a must-have sex toy for either yourself or something to add to a couple’s sex life. It is made of 100% premium Elastomer, a high-quality material that is both latex and phthalate free but still incredibly soft, well made and also very cute, which yes, is important even when it comes to sex toys. This toy is a nice shade of light purple and also has glitter which makes it super girly, attractive to look at and amazing to use.

Yep, I said it–Your vagina! Most women don’t think twice about using store-bought pads and tampons. In most cases, this is what most women were taught to use when they first got their period and so the cycle continues, in a matter of speaking. A lot of women aren’t aware that we do have choices when it comes to what period protection we use.
We all know about pads and tampons, but what a lot of people don’t know about them is that the biggest companies producing these products for women are run by men. It’s true! Men! What do men know about what really goes on in there? Well, apparently not too much since standard pads and tampons contain synthetic fibers and bleach; yes that’s right, bleach. If you look at a container of bleach it will tell you several times throughout the container that you should not drink it and if you do, to contact a poison control center. Bleach is made up of very harsh chemicals that if you drink it, it could very well be fatal, so why are we putting it up inside of ourselves? Sounds dangerous, doesn’t it? So dangerous that tampons also have a little warning you never paid much attention to that tells you about Toxic Shock Syndrome, which women under 21 years of age are most prone to getting.
When it comes to pads, we’re talking about the same ingredients here–Synthetic fibers and bleach. While we’re not shoving pads up inside of ourselves, the synthetic fibers and bleach that are in pads are rubbing up against us all day which is not good for our skin, especially considering that the skin ‘down there’ is very sensitive and makes up the beginning of our entire reproductive area. Women think that pads and tampons have been sterilized, when in fact, no feminine hygiene product has ever been sterilized; meaning we’re more than likely putting dirty synthetic fibers and bleach inside of us. So to recap, synthetic fibers and bleach are bad for us!
Moving on to the environment. There are approximately 85 million women in North America who are menstruating. After pads and tampons are used once, they are disposed of and add to environmental pollution.
According to the March-April article in E Magazine, 6.5 billion tampons and 13.5 billion pads and their packaging end up in landfills and even in sewer systems. That is a whole lot of waste that is clogging up the planet that could be avoided.
Avoided? How!?
If you are a woman who feels most comfortable using pads, Lunapads are reusable pads. With a life expectancy of 5 years, Lunapads is a pad alternative that is great for the environment. Made with a dual layer of 100% cotton flannel and an additional layer of ultra-thin, breathable nylon. They come in an array of different sizes, sure to fit any woman, if you’re a teen, in your 20s, 30s, or even middle-aged with five children under you belt. Best of all, they work with any type of menstrual flow and they are made of something that will not harm you or your reproductive organs in any way. To make it even better, Lunapads are amazingly cute and come in a myriad of different patterns.
If you are a woman who feels most comfortable using tampons, Lunapads also offers the Diva Cup, made of medical-grade silicone.
Both Lunapads and the Diva Cup are great alternatives to pads and tampons that are good for you to use and great for the environment.
