As you know, I am a thick girl. I have always fought with my size and what I thought it should be. I have had some serious setbacks with it. Just to say, I have been trying to live my life in clothes that are made for smaller sizes. Just because they offer sizes of my range doesn't mean they are going to fit right.
I have curves, I have shape, I need something that isn't going to cut into my curves and create a cliff. I want something that accents my curves and inspires touches and kisses, not tugs or shame. I want something that is going to give me confidence and not a cover up.
Honestly, I don't want to buy sexy lingerie with a robe to cover it up. I want to put on something that says "I am the queen of this room, I am going to make you submit". Really, what do you think when you get something sexy to wear? I know what I want.
I want my man's jaw to hit the floor and him be left speechless and smiling. Unless he says WOW, saying wow is totally acceptable when I try my hardest. That even fuels my ego some yes, more confidence. I want him to know that I am here! I require 100% of your attention! You are going to give it to me!!
When I first read about Curvy Girl Lingerie, I was instantly impressed and inspired to be bold. This is what I saw that caught my attention, what came next was even more impressive.
Curvy Girl Lingerie is the first lingerie store in the U.S. for plus-size women. With a “Sexy Isn’t a Size” motto, the store in San Jose, CA carries items in sizes 14-6x. Owner Chrystal Bougon created Curvy Girl because she believes all women deserve a safe place to shop, without judgment, where they can find sexy lingerie, panties and toys that fit well and make them feel good about themselves. She empowers customers daily to feel beautiful, unapologetic, empowered, and like sexual beings who love themselves now – not 50 less pounds from now.

We are working with Curvy Girl Lingerie and a few more companies I will get to in a bit.
These aren't just the run of the mill conversation hearts for Valentine's Day or any time of year. It's the start of an amazing conversation of the heart and other happy places.
We have to make our special time really count. So what we are going is taking a romantic little trip just the 2 of us, with a house sitter at the house. No excuses this time! We need to claim our time as grown up husband and wife, not just mom, and dad.
#1- Make a plan and stick to it!
Make a plan that you can keep. Without the excuses or persuasion of a little one saying "But Mom, But Dad....." Say NO, I love you but this is for mommy and daddy and it doesn't mean we love you less, it means we love each other as much as we love you. Or whatever crafty thing you can come up with. Get your stuff and go!!!#2 No itinerary! Destination King & Queen time!
It may be hard to do especially, if you don't get to go out much but, save the sight-seeing for another trip. Make this adventure for a couple, not parents. Don't plan the mile hikes to see the biggest ball of yarn or the wax museum of Star Wars. Save your energy! You're going to need it!#3 Stay close but unavailable.
Yes, it's nice to go to a lavish establishment and enjoy all of the amenities but, it's not necessary. You can get out of the house away from the responsibilities of kids, pets, and the ringing phone. Take the time, effort and attention you put into that and put it all on your significant other. Let them be a top priority. Meanwhile, staying 30 minutes or less from home will save in travel cost making the trip more affordable.
#4 Turn OFF the WiFi
The hardest one for us. Since I work from home, I am always connecting. BUT for this trip, Don't bother with the updates. You can create an awesome album when you get back if the shares are that important. Unless you are making a sex tape, leave the camera at home. Keep the post, tweet, snap, chop, hack, flips, and whatever out of this trip. Those few seconds that it takes to hold that pose can really ruin the mood.
#5 Do Not Disturb
Our friends and family don't need to check and see how our trip is going. We love you guys. We want to tell you all about it when we get back. If you don't know how to say it, try something like ~ I am not going against my own will, I am not being kidnapped, I will check in with you after I get back :) Remind them that at any moment they may be interrupting something that..... Well. you know.
Curvy Girl Lingerie sent me a very special package that inspired this post. Dreamgirl Sophie Teddy, CalExotics Lia Magic Wand, and Pjur this night is going to be interesting, to say the least!
It's ok to be adventurous. Some things don't always have to be the same way. We are in our 30's and trying to keep the spark alive. This is definitely the way to do it! Little surprises and adventures are making it happen!
The Magic Wand is a WATERPROOF 10 function toy. The texture is so life like. It's battery operated and easy to use. The lubricant is a scentless and tasteless silicone. It's not irritating even in the most sensitive areas.
The Sophie Teddy is beautiful and fits so good. It has a very deep "V" in the front and halter tie top. I usually don't like that kind of top because of the weight of my chest but this really works.
The open back is very flattering. Since I am being very painfully honest in this post, I am going all in. I like a thong when I am dressing up because I don't like panty lines. When it comes to nighty's I am very self-conscious of how my butt looks and I will walk backward if I have to avoid the back view. Not that it's a bad view, I just worry that it is. BUT, this is SO CUTE!
There are 2 extra straps that come off of the crotch and attach at the back to make by butt have a heart shape. WOW. My butt has the optical illusion of being a heart shape and it works without me standing or laying in a certain position. I can be in any place walking forward or backward and my butt is STILL a heart! It doesn't creep up on me or scoot, It's so awesome. It makes being a bigger girl ok!

ReplyDeleteThese are all so lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these musts for Valentine's Day. I am at the point that I feel like the day might be close to being buried at least until all the kids are out of the house. Small houses and romance can be a little difficult at times.
ReplyDeleteGood advice
