Exxxotica: A Sex Writer's Experience
If you've read my work, you already know I'm a sex writer. I've written for Pucker Mob, Bolde, YourTango, and a bunch of other names in the industry. I've done my fair share of wild stuff in the past, but nothing was quite like attending Exxxotica — one of the biggest adult industry conventions in America.

5 Problems I Never Expected in My Thirties
We all know I suffer from P.P.S. (Peter Pan Syndrome) but even so, I have never denied the inevitable. The fact that as time goes on and I grow older, everything changes. Not just my skin and body but decisions, beliefs, and desires, too. Don't get me wrong, years ago I remember hearing the age 34 and thinking, EW that's old, like Monica Gellar old, but I honestly thought my active life and youthful attitude would keep me young forever, or at least longer than other people. I didn't expect at this age to not be able to get out of bed without a groan and moan from a herniated disc. I also would have laughed in your face if you told me that I would be worried about crows feet and laugh lines. I thought that crap happened at 50, not 34! Yet here I am, Googling Groupon Botox deals and doing modified gym routines so I don't aggravate my lower back. Now that I think about it, maybe it was my active life and youthful attitude that caused half of these issues. Perhaps, I had too much fun and all my years of wide smiles and loud laughter have been too much for my face to handle, and maybe the years spent dancing till dawn wore my body down before it should have. Regardless of the cause, for some issues it’s too late or not without a hefty price tag. So just go on without me because I might as well get myself a walker and adult diaper now.

Healing From a Toxic Parent
A toxic parent, by definition, is someone whose negative behaviour inflicts emotional damage on a child's sense of self. This negative behaviour can come in many forms (emotional, physical, ect...) but regardless of how the behaviour manifests itself, it can go on to affect a child throughout their entire life.

Basic Rules of Soccer Every Beginner Should Know
A complete guide to understanding soccer is a challenge to grasp in of itself. Not everyone may know the rules and regulations behind the game. I would raise the argument that the only people in the world who truly know them at their deepest and most fundamental are the referees, and still I'm sure many would disagree with me. Still, it is an important concept that everyone willing to appreciate the sport, or learn it better, must follow if they want to play at their best. Integrating more of these rules into some of their best Xbox One games is just one way EA Sports intends on revolutionizing fitness and health to provide superior benefits to eSports.

What Soccer Means to the World and Why Basketball Should Follow Its Lead
The impact of globalization will continue to impact our world. American cultures and customs that once dominated in influence have seen a decline. Reports indicate that the United States has fallen to third behind France and the United Kingdom in regard to soft power. This decrease means that certain strongholds and cultural aspects are dispersed throughout the world. Culture as an element of soft power is important to global relevancy and the impact a nation can have tactfully on the world stage. Governments rely on social and cultural capital to resolve conflicts diplomatically. With that said, global interspersion is not particularly new. However, with an isolationist administration in the White House, the continued dispersion would likely decelerate until an inevitable change in leadership. There is a flip side. As influence stalls under a new regime, sports and culture serve as the subversive arm to that impediment. Sports remain an important force that unites nations. A steeper decline would mean that we become influenced by culture as opposed to remaining at the forefront.

Fastest Players in Barcelona History
This isn't the NFL Quarterly Awards; this is FIFA we're talking about; the original football. La Liga's FC Barcelona, otherwise called 'Barca' by most diehard fans, tends to play a variety of different types of on-pitch fieldwork. They've been known to utilize and advance the quickest players in the game over the years, and their program has evolved into a global image with various suitors at the helm. For instance, the modern foot-king for the team is Lionel Messi, an Argentinian forward who is as stoic as he is a God at finesse on the pitch. He can not only play the most advanced defensive posts, but he can also attack with the force of a shotgun, his goals tearing goalies apart each and every try.

Best Makeup Brushes You Can Get on Amazon
Oh, I know just how pricy makeup brushes can be. And if you're aiming for the best quality, just like most of us, then they're no doubt going to empty your wallet. Buying makeup brushes straight from stores can be super expensive. But I'm not talking about sets of brushes — just one single brush can be about $20 - $50. I'm serious; there are solo brushes that are $50, possibly more. Do you know how many good quality brushes you can buy with $50? You don't need to drop that much on just one brush.

The Ordinary: Worth the Hype?
It is an understatement to say that The Ordinary skincare range has caused a bit of a stir in the blogosphere as of late. Not all of the feedback has been good, with some criticisms that the strength of the active ingredients may be compromised by the affordable packaging and that the simple formulations are not as sophisticated as even marginally more expensive products.

How to Look Good on No Sleep
Women are good at faking it, we all know this. We fake confidence, we fake “having it all together” and of course, on occasion, we fake it in the bedroom. That’s not where the pretending ends though, after a night of no sleep, whether it be from a cranky baby or a late booze-filled night, we are sometimes forced to fake a well rested and motivated game face.

Best Curling Irons That Won't Damage Your Hair
Every girl has a love-hate relationship with their curling iron. They love the finished product, but hate the way it feels after continuous use of heat on dead ends. Sure, there are products that say they can save your hair from damage, but who has the time or money to be working so hard, just for mediocre hair?

Best Gifts for Craft Beer Lovers
Craft beer, along with other types of alcohol, is certainly looked at as a form of art. And those who are huge fans of craft beer can certainly agree with me here. There's a lot when it comes to craft beer from both taste to presentation. Those who are very articulate in the field know how to appreciate different types of craft beer. These type of people certainly deserve the best gifts to feed their passion about beer. I'm not talking about buying them a six pack, I'm talking about gifting them handy beer gadgets that they can always use.

My First Car Was Destroyed In a Flood
My first car was a brand new 2010 Subaru Forester X Premium. I loved everything about it: the cloth seats, the huge sunroof, the bright headlights, the killer sound system (after I added a small preamp unit, of course), the shiny black paint, the way it revved when I pressed the gas pedal just beyond that special point. It was a beaut, and it was my beaut.
