Few things can be more fun than getting down and dirty with some edible massage oil. Whether you cook this up on your own as a surprise, or involve your partner in the prep work, you can easily make your own edible massage oil. One clear benefit is that you can control the flavor yourself. Some people don’t really like the taste of most edible massage oils available in stores.

This edible massage oil is also latex friendly, and can therefore be used as a personal lubricant as well.

How to make your own massage oil

It all starts with a basic recipe. Flavor and other properties can be adjusted ‘to taste’. A basic massage oil recipe involves glycerine as a main ingredient. Glycerine you should easily be able to find in most pharmacies.

Here is the complete list of ingredients you will need:

• 1/4 cup glycerine
• 1/4 tsp. honey
• 1/4 tsp. clear vanilla extract (not brown vanilla)
• 1/4 tsp. flavoring (or to taste)

In addition, you can also add a drop of food coloring if you would like. This isn’t necessary, and just depends on how colorful you would like your massage oil to be. Careful not to add too much though, as it could stain sheets or clothes.

To make your edible massage oil, just mix all ingredients together.

This massage oil is:

• Water soluble
• Latex friendly
• It heats up when you blow on it

Nobody is a stranger to video chatting these days, but most applications provide a scratchy, bad quality image. video conferencing products can give a more realistic image without any interference.

If the going gets tough and the miles between you and your favorite person in the world are some too many, high def video communication over a broadband connection can bring more life to your video communication.

Technically, LifeSize caters to businesses, but who says clients cannot use products in ways they were not intended? If you have the means, and the drive, bring your love’s onto your big screen TV with a higher quality alternative to conventional video chat.

OK…. uhm….. I am a big believer in LOVE….BUT. big BUT…. some people who are abusive should just rather stay off the market. Or, if you are lucky, show their true colors right away. Some people you have to get to know for years before you get to see their true character. When someone is truly crazy though, at least you get to see it up front and right away. I’d say this an advantage because you can get out before getting anything started. However, some of the truly psychopathic or insane are very good at hiding their dark sides. To get to know someone, introduce a crisis, go on a vacation with the person and get exposed to as many different situations as possible. Dinner and a movie doesn’t cut it; most people manage to stay nice.

Some, however, can’t even really sit through the making of their own dating video: The man in this dating video starts off nicely, he means well… he is just a nice guy looking for love… it’s pleasantly unattractive in a sort of desperate and clueless way, until he slips into absolute psychotic behavior.

Watch and enjoy this one, and ladies… stay away from the crazy boys!

Ah, people have always had trouble finding a mate. Some just have hopeless people skills, others have terribly body odor or other unfortunate physical attributes. When you’re dating, or trying to, you are ’selling yourself’ as a package. You are both a product and your own salesman. I’m sorry to say, but people do look at ‘the whole package’. They always have, and always will.
After all, that is how we see whether we are compatible or not; do we love this person all around?

Here are some really funny old dating videos. The person who put it together called it ‘dating losers’, but I think that is harsh. Most of these people just need a little coaching in the dating and presentation areas. Some are just so innocent and have no clue how they present themselves… watch and learn!

Do not attempt at home, being a social failure is not funny, but seeing others make mistakes allows you to (hopefully) learn from them!

[tag]Valentines day[/tag] is approaching fast. A little too fast for my taste!
To make Valentines Day taste a little better this year, this may be a great and original alternative to the bouquet of [tag]roses[/tag]: organic, edible Organic Chocolate Massage Oil.

Massage has proven not only to relax (of course!), but has serious health benefits. Couples who frequently touch each other actually have stronger immune systems, live longer and are healthier in general. They also tend to catch cold less often, don’t suffer as long when they do get sick and tend to be happier. But do we really need so many convincing reasons for touching?

To make sure the [tag]massaging[/tag] never gets boring, playing around with different scents and edible [tag]massage oils[/tag] keeps things extra interesting. Frankly I’d give up [tag]chocolate[/tag] for a good massage any day, but combining the two is like – to quote a famous cartoon figure – “And oooorgasm of flavour in my mouth”.

El Polo Loco is calling for video submissions for their contest: “where’s the flame grill”. Here is a Dating SOS attempt at grilling chicken! But we need to work on getting a more professional grill.

Nobody can really reproduce professionally grilled chicken, but it is fun to see people try. Who knows.. maybe making chicken, or making a movie about making chicken, could actually be a cool date idea!

The gist is that people will vote for the best video, and the winner will get $1500 in cash and prizes…

No candles were harmed in the making of this movie, and the chicken was in fact already dead…

Slip into these reflexology massage socks for a not-so-subtle hint to your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/massage therapist, etc..

The sole has illustrations printed on them of pressure points used in reflexology that relate to other body parts. What we’d love to see is another version of these socks for lovers, showing erogenous zones instead of my kidneys and colon! Whether or not you believe nerves from your foot are directly connected to your sex organs, most people like a foot rub! Some more than others (think foot fetish vs. foot-phoob), but a good foot rub can put most in (at the very least) a relaxed mood. And we all know what potential lies ahead from there…!

So, who will make me a pair of sock that will clearly guide my partner to the right spots? After all, sometimes men just have trouble finding it…

The more you touch, the more fun it gets, and I’m not talking about the bedroom. I’m talking about your other new fling: the [tag]iPod Touch[/tag]. Although from the looks of it, the Touch has enough potential to become the love of your life.

Whoever thinks it is nicer to touch, than to be touched can definitely use this iPod as an argument for that concept. Equipped with the usual capacity for thousands of songs, pictures and video, the iPod Touch spreads your visual media files across its entire surface. Being approximately the same size as the classic iPod, the Touch is just one big screen. Move between songs, movies and pictures with just a swift motion. Rotating, zooming and flipping is literally at your fingertips.

With so much to caress, this toy was made to be loved. Although it was released a little while ago, Apple has now brought out some new software updates that make it even more seductive than it already was. Now an email application and widgets, including the ability to see live stock quotes, were added to the arsenal. I love the option of seeing my Apple stock price on my iPod, and get excited at the thought of carrying my emails with me in my pocket. Honestly, who needs a blackberry if you can bite into a fresh new Apple idea?

There are two memory options for the iPod Touch: an 8GB at $299, and for merely an additional $100 you can double to size to 16GB. Not surprisingly, Apple has finally also adjusted its pricing in Canada to account for the weakening dollar. In the great white north the iPod Touch will set you back $319 or $419 for the 8GB and 16GB respectively.

One warning though: if this might be something you’ll consider as a [tag]Valentines Day gift[/tag], keep in mind you will be competing with the iPod to be touched…

Having said that though, to me nothing says touch me like this shiny little wonder. Now all I have to do is justify adding a third [tag]iPod[/tag] to my growing [tag]Apple[/tag] family.

It’s been a good year for me in terms of gadgets! I got an iPod video back in February, then bought a MacBook in March. Now, Santa brought me an iPod nano for me to use with my Nike+ system, as well as an iPod clock radio.
Now, owning to many i-products, I’m a little concerned about losing any, or having my bag pick-pocketed. A friend of mine recently got her Nike+ stolen in the gym, and a few years ago someone stole her iPod with all her work related files on it. Aside from the i-loss, losing the files was reason for a major freak-out.

So, how to protect your “i”?
Although short of handcuffing the iPod or iPhone to your wrist, there isn’t much you can do to keep it from getting stolen if you are not too careful with it. However, you can protect it from what happened to my iPod video; preventing it from getting all scratched up and scuffed by chosing the right ipod accessories.

There are many ipod accessories that help keep iPods and iPhones scratch free. Personally, I think the silicone skins that go around the entire iPod are best. I bought a leather case for my iPod video, but the case is somewhat open at the top, which allows small dirt to get in, which in turns seems to scratch the back of the iPod when it is taken out and put into the case.
