Condoms ~ The Importance of Using a Condom

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

 

 

Pretty much since puberty I learned the birds and the bees from my older sis­ters and my close friends. Talk­ing to my mom about this embar­rass­ing sit­u­a­tion (as it was back then) was not even an option. I just did not feel com­fort­able dis­cussing these kind of top­ics with my par­ents at all, holy awkward!!

Today, it’s of upmost impor­tance talk­ing with your ‘tweens’ or teens about all of the STD’s out there and how to pre­vent con­tract­ing them, as well as the prob­lem of unwanted pregnancies.

 

 

Yes I am fully aware that STD’s existed in the 80’s when I was a teeny-bopper and extremely promis­cu­ous! I also knew the dan­gers of unwanted preg­nan­cies and how eas­ily get­ting preg­nant was, but I was totally invin­ci­ble back then and did not use no pre­cau­tions at all, despite it being my worst fear!! Young, naive, stu­pid. That was me to a tee!

For­tu­nately, I made it through my teenage years with­out get­ting preg­nant, nor did I get any STD’s which are so easy to get when not using pro­tec­tion such as that of a con­dom!! Like myself, I know of some of my friends were weren’t as for­tu­nate as I, and wound up either being stricken by an STD, or preg­nant. So young, gullible, une­d­u­cated. Yes, they were still babies and hav­ing their own babies.

 

 

 

Using a con­dom is VERY impor­tant for those hav­ing sex, period. Unless you are mar­ried and trust your part­ner 100%, a con­dom is totally necessary!

Sex­u­ally trans­mit­ted dis­eases (STDs) are infec­tious con­di­tions trans­mit­ted through sex­ual activ­ity — vagi­nal, oral or anal. Some of the STDs can be eas­ily treated but unfor­tu­nately there is no cure for many of them, and these incur­able STDs tend to be the most com­mon and longest last­ing. Some, for exam­ple HIV and hepati­tis B, can have seri­ous health con­se­quences. Also, using a con­dom (sheik, rub­ber as oth­ers may call them) helps pre­vent any unwanted pregnancies.

A per­son can have any of the STDs with­out any symp­toms. They may there­fore be unaware that they have an infec­tion and may be pass­ing it on each time they have sex. I shud­der at that thought!!

 

 

 

At EdenFantasys.com you will find an exten­sive array of many dif­fer­ent types of condoms.

Eden­fan­ta­sys car­ries lubri­cated con­doms, non lubri­cated con­doms, vivid stud­ded con­doms, ultra ribbed con­doms, extra thin con­doms, extra sen­si­tive con­doms, and so many more for your com­plete plea­sure and added protection!

They are all very rea­son­ably priced, and order­ing these con­doms from the Eden­fan­ta­sys web­site is a extremely easy as every prod­uct that they sell is so neatly cat­e­go­rized to make shop­ping from the pri­vacy of your own home a com­plete snap! Dis­cre­tion is also 100% assured when deliv­ered to your home also so rest easy know­ing this.

 

 

 

As per blackcap.ca, Con­doms should be stored in a cool, dry, place. Don’t place con­doms where they can be in con­tact with direct sun­light, or other tem­per­a­ture extremes such cold.

Do Not Place Con­doms in your Back-pocket or Wallet.

If there are con­doms in your back pocket and they’ve been there for more than a day or so, toss them out. Never carry a con­dom in your wal­let, pocket or purse for longer than a night. The fric­tion and/or body heat, or even expo­sure to win­ter cold over time will make latex con­doms weaker. As a result, the con­dom may not actu­ally break dur­ing sex, but there could be lit­tle breaks large enough to let HIV/AIDS, STIs and even sperm to squeeze through.

 

Make EdenFantasys.com your one-stop sex shop for awe­some high qual­ity sex toys and more, outstanding cus­tomer ser­vice skills, and extremely speedy delivery!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Jo Totes Camera bags for Women Review & Giveaway!!

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

 

 

Ok ladies. I know that a lot of you are just like me and can usu­ally do 10 things all at once with­out thought. But how many times have you been on vaca­tion and just sim­ply throw your cam­era into your beach bag (that is sim­ply not big enough to hold every­thing) along with other per­sonal nec­ces­si­ties (includ­ing your own purse, money, sun­tan lotion, keys, towels) while scat­ter­ing around try­ing to get every­one ready for an out­ing? Yeah, I thought many of you would relate! But since I was intro­duced to Jo Totes, there is no need to worry any longer about a tote that will hold every­thing that you need! Along with your belong­ings, you can have one big styl­ish roomy bag that will most impor­tantly pro­tect your camera!

They are so trendy and fun! These cam­era bags are a must have for any­one who car­ries their cam­era or even a video cam­era around.  I bring my cam­era every­where  (so not to miss an impor­tant pic­ture) but always hated tot­ing around the plain black cam­era bag.  I wanted some­thing both excit­ing and fem­i­nine to tuck my cam­era into!

 

 

All of the Jo Totes are fully lined with cool and awe­some fab­rics! I was so excited to be able to review the Betsy Cam­era Bag in Black and was even more ecsta­tic when I actu­ally saw it up close and in per­son! I was amazed at the look of this styl­ish cam­era bag, and it is hon­estly the best cam­era bag that I have ever seen in my life!

 

Betsy — Black

With her slim design, numer­ous pock­ets, and choice of either cross-body or shoul­der strap, Betsy is the per­fect bag for both photo shoots and day trips.

Details
  • Exte­rior mate­r­ial: soft, top qual­ity faux leather in black
  • Inte­rior fab­ric: bright blue cotton
  • Pro­tec­tive foam sewn into the lin­ing of all four sides and the bot­tom of the bag
  • Three adjustable inte­rior pads
  • Remov­able shoul­der strap
  • Remov­able and adjustable cross-body strap
  • Remov­able shoul­der pad
  • Main com­part­ment closes with a zipper
  • Exte­rior: zip­pered front flap; large zip­pered back pocket (will fit an iPad); two front pock­ets with hid­den mag­netic closures
  • Size: 11″ high x 15.5″ wide x 4″ deep

 

Just look at the inside as to how much this awe­some tote actu­ally can fit!

 

 

This bag is hon­estly phe­nom­e­nal and I love it soooooo much! Here is a look at the out­side of the actual Betsy Bag:

 

 

The Betsy Cam­era bag is also avail­able in the colours Choco­late and Mustard! This bag is com­pletely fash­ion­able and func­tional! All that you need is a match­ing pair of shoes, and voila! It IS that gorgeous!!

 

 

Check out all of the won­der­ful cam­era bags at Jo Totes, there is def­i­nitely one there for you!! Jo Totes gets a huge Kudos, and I rec­om­mend this great com­pany to everyone!

Their cus­tomer ser­vice skills as well as deliv­ery time were also beyond outstanding!

CoolCanucks Review of DecalGirl Skins for your Electronic Devices!!

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

 

 

I recently found Decal­Girl on the inter­net when search­ing for the best skins for my iPad. Decal­Girl offers a very exten­sive array of “skins” for elec­tron­ics devices. Their selec­tion includes every­thing from iPhone to iPads to iPods, Kin­dles, lap­tops, mobile phones, and even gam­ing devices!!

 

 

Decal­Girl allows you to instantly makeover your devices with cool skins of rel­a­tively any design and colour!

Skins and decals are the newest trend, and I have seen many peo­ple with their skinned lap­top, net­book and note­books, cell phones, and so many other devices!

I was really excited to be able to review one of DecalGirl’s skins for my iPad! When it got here I was excited to try it out! DecalGirl’s skins are an excel­lent way to add pizazze to your elec­tron­ics devices while offer­ing it pro­tec­tion from scuffs and scratches at the same time. I chose the “Apoc­a­lypse Vio­let” to review, and I hon­estly LOVE it!!

 

 

 

With a whack of art styles to choose from, you’re almost cer­tain to find a Decal­Girl skin design that directly suits your tastes!

The high gloss makes it easy to clean, and it looks like it was always there. Best of all, if I get tired of the design I can just remove the skin and apply another one!!

I give this com­pany a huge thumbs up, and absolutely rec­om­mend that you turn to Decal­Girl for all of the newest skins for your elec­tronic devices!!

 

 

Be sure to ‘like’ Decal­Girl on Face­book, and/or fol­low @DecalGirl on twitter!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ 100th Birthday Limited Edition Oreo Cookie Review & Giveaway

Monday, February 27th, 2012

 

 

When some­one men­tions Oreo Cook­ies, I am in. Being an Oreo addict from way back, I choose Oreo Cook­ies first before any other brand of cookie.

Oreo is a trade­mark for a pop­u­lar cookie sand­wich by the Nabisco Divi­sion of Kraft Foods. The cur­rent design con­sists of a sweet, white fill­ing com­monly referred to as ‘cream’, sand­wiched between two cir­cu­lar choco­late or golden cookie pieces. And to com­plete my favorite oreo cookie is a huge glass of cold milk. Over 491 bil­lion Oreo cook­ies have been sold since they were first intro­duced, mak­ing them the best sell­ing cookie of the 20th century.

 

 

 

Oreo in Greek means “Beau­ti­ful”, and that is what I see when I plop down a mound of Oreo’s to enjoy! Mmm­mmm ~ absolute goodness!!

How do you eat your Oreo? Per­son­ally, I eat them whole, bite after lus­cious bite.

While doing a lit­tle research on how oth­ers eat their Oreo’s, I came across a web­site called www.myfoodmaps.com and here is what they had to say:

 

Oreos:  An Inter­ac­tive Food

“One of the keys to Oreo’s suc­cess is its inter­ac­tiv­ity.  Think about it – you don’t just eat it — you can dunk it, bite it, or twist it apart.  Oreo lovers, psy­chol­o­gists, and food writ­ers have all spec­u­lated about whether the way some­one eats their Oreo indi­cates a per­son­al­ity type.

Accord­ing to a History.com video, in 2004, Kraft (Nabisco is now a Kraft brand), sur­veyed over 2000 Oreo eaters and found that they are divided into three cat­e­gories:
 •Dunkers tend to be ener­getic, adven­tur­ous, and extremely social. 87% of dunkers say milk is their liq­uid of choice for dunk­ing.
 •Twisters — and who hasn’t twisted an Oreo – (I per­son­ally think it makes the Oreo last longer ‘cause you get two cook­ies) – tend to be emo­tional, sen­si­tive, artis­tic, and trendy.
 •Biters are easy going, self-confident, and optimistic.

The sur­vey also dis­cov­ered that more women tend to be dunkers while men tend to be biters.  And, Democ­rats tend to twist, Repub­li­cans tend to dunk!”

 

 

 

 

Happy Birth­day Oreo!

 

An Icon for All Ages:

Oreo Cookie Cel­e­brates its 100th Birthday!!

 

It’s time to raise your glass of milk because the world’s favourite cookie is turn­ing 100!  That’s right!  Oreo – the cookie made famous for its “twist, lick and dunk” – marks its 100th birth­day on March 6th, 2012.

 

·               100 years ago, Oreo was cre­ated in a bak­ery in Chelsea, New York. This same year, Canada’s pop­u­la­tion was around 7.2 mil­lion peo­ple; the Cal­gary Stam­pede wel­comed its first cow­boys; and the Grey Cup was established.

 

·               Oreo cook­ies were orig­i­nally sold in bulk for 30 cents a pound.

 

·               Now avail­able in 100 coun­tries, more than $1.5 bil­lion of Oreo cook­ies are sold every year.  Canada is the fourth biggest Oreo mar­ket in the world, fol­low­ing the United States, China, and Venezuela.

 

·               Today, the Cana­dian Oreo bak­ery on Viau Street in Mon­treal bakes more than 1.1 mil­lion Oreo cook­ies in an eight hour shift.

 

·               There are more than 23 mil­lion Oreo Face­book fans in 183 coun­tries, includ­ing 40 in Vat­i­can City and 850,000 in Canada.

 

·               Twist, Lick and Dunk is a part of our psy­che with 50 per cent of all Oreo eaters pulling apart their cook­ies before eat­ing.  Women twist them open more often than men.

 

 

The Oreo 100th Birth­day cel­e­bra­tion is tak­ing place in more than 20 coun­tries around the world, includ­ing Canada.  And all Cana­di­ans can bring the cel­e­bra­tion home with a spe­cial, limited-edition Birth­day Cake Oreo cookie, avail­able at the end of February.

 

Make sure go to Oreo100.ca and see this awe­some 100th Birth­day story! Also, Visit Oreo on Face­book to help cel­e­brate 100 years of Oreo by upload­ing your favourite, fun-filled Oreo moments.
