In COVID-19, 'CO' stands for 'corona,' 'VI' for 'virus,' and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV”. There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses.

SEX Foods(Aphrodisiac)

2011-12-28T16:16:00.002-05:00

An aphrodisiac is a substance that increases sexual desire.

Foods to enhance your libido

Almond - A symbol of fertility throughout the ages. The aroma is thought to induce passion in a female. Try serving Marzipan (almond paste) in the shapes of fruits for a special after-dinner treat.

Asparagus - Given it's phallic shape, asparagus is frequently enjoyed as an aphrodisiac food. Feed your lover boiled or steamed spears for a sensuous experience. The Vegetarian Society suggests "eating asparagus for three days for the most powerful affect".

Avacodo - The Aztecs called the avocado tree "Ahuacuatl which translated means "testicle tree". The ancients thought the fruit hanging in pairs on the tree resembled the male's testicles. This is a delicious fruit with a sensuous texture. Serve in slices with a small amount of Balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper.

Bannana - The banana flower has a marvelous phallic shape and is partially responsible for popularity of the banana as an aphrodisiac food. An Islamic myth tells the tale that after Adam and Eve succumbed to the "Apple" they started covering their "nudity" with banana leaves rather than fig. From a more practical standpoint bananas are rich in potassium and B vitamins, necessities for sex hormone production.

Chocolate - The Aztecs referred to chocolate "nourishment of the Gods". Chocolate contains chemicals thought to effect neurotransmitters in the brain and a related substance to caffeine called theobromine. Chocolate contains more antioxidant (cancer preventing enzymes) than does red wine. The secret for passion is to combine the two. Try a glass of Cabernet with a bit of dark chocolate for a sensuous treat.

Carrots - Another good reason to eat carrots--believed to be a stimulant to the male. The phallus shaped carrot has been associated with stimulation since ancient times and was used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid seduction. High vitamins and beta-carotene.

Coffee** - Caffeine is a well-know stimulant but remember, too much and it becomes a depressant. Serve small amounts of rich dark coffee in special little demitasse cups. Coffee stimulates both the body and the mind so partake of a little in preparation for an "all-nighter".

Garlic - The 'heat' in garlic is said to stir sexual desires. Make sure you and your partner share it together. Garlic has been used for centuries to cure everything from the common cold to heart ailments. This is a good time for moderation. Enjoy a pasta with a lightly garlicky sauce and it and lead up to something spicy in the bedroom later.

Strawberries - Perfect food for hand feeding your lover. "Berries invite love and are described in erotic literature as fruit nipples" Berries are high in vitamin C and make a sweet light dessert.

Honey - Many medicines in Egyptian times were based on honey including cures for sterility and impotence. Medieval seducers plied their partners with Mead, a fermented drink made from honey. Lovers on their "Honeymoon" drank mead and it was thought to "sweeten" the marriage.

Oysters - Oysters were documented as a aphrodisiac food by the Romans in the second century A.D as mentioned in a satire by Juvenal. He described the wanton ways of women after ingesting wine and eating "giant oysters". An additional hypotheses is that the oyster resembles the "female" genitals. In reality oysters are a very nutritious and high in protein.

Pine Nuts - Zinc is a key mineral necessary to maintain male potency and pine nuts are rich in zinc. Pine nuts have been used to stimulate the libido as far back as Medieval times. Serve pine nut cookies with a dark espresso for a stimulating dessert.

Pineapple** - Rich in vitamin C and is used in the homeopathic treatment for impotence. Fresh pineapple juice is especially good for purifying the male sperm which can enhance the taste. Add a spear to a sweet Rum drink for a tasty prelude to an evening of passion.

Sushi - According to Greek mythology, all fruits of the sea are the
children of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Sushi can take many forms but what we eat in the Western World begins with vinegared rice and generally incorporates seaweed or fish/shellfish or both. Both fish and seaweed boast nutritional attributes that add to their aphrodisiac powers. Oily fish provide mood-elevating Omega-3’s and many seafoods offer zinc not to mention the protein needed for sustained energy. Seaweed, the wrapper used on sushi rolls, is an excellent source of Vitamin E, also known as the “sex vitamin.”

Vanilla - The scent and flavor of vanilla is believed to increase lust. According to the Australian Orchid Society, "Old Totonac lore has it that Xanat, the young daughter of the Mexican fertility goddess, loved a Totonac youth. Unable to marry him due to her divine nature, she transformed herself into a plant that would provide pleasure and happiness." Fill tall Champagne glasses to the rim and add a vanilla bean for a heady, bubbly treat

Wine - A glass or two of wine can greatly enhance a romantic interlude. Wine relaxes and helps to stimulate our senses. Drinking wine can be an erotic experience. Let your eyes feast on the color of the liquid. Caress the glass, savor the taste on your lips. Do remember that excessive alcohol will make you too drowsy for the after-dinner romance. A moderate amount of wine has been said to "arouse" but much more than that amount with have the reverse affect. *Reminder* Any type of alcohol thins your blood and weakens your ammune system, which makes you more at risk for infections, STDs, etc while having unprotected sex.

BAD Hair Days!

2011-12-27T11:44:00.001-05:00

We all have them ladies. In this post I'll be giving tips and tricks on how to avoid them, an all around solution when you have them and DOs & Don'ts to prevent them from happening.

Working in a hair salon I come across all types of damaged hair and every client has the same question... Why?
Damage is caused by different things depending on the individual, there hair type and what he/she has or has not done to it.

Heat damage can cause breakage due to not taking the proper steps before applying heat (I.e. Heat Protection Product). Dry and/or Itchy scalps are not only annoying and cause flakes but is a key sign of a problem of some sort. A healthy scalp promotes healthy hair. Shampooing and deep conditioning are very important things to be done on a regular, depending on the person's hair type.
Styling your hair should be fun. Try not to over analyze every detail and always remember that What looks good on someone else may NOT look good on you. If all else fails a classic ponytail always works (Rubberbands are a 'No No" because it pulls the hair out). Knowing your face shape, complextion (when coloring) and hair type are critical when selecting a hair style.
Over processed hair from chemicals (Dye, Perm, Relaxer, Bleach etc.) show, and the results are never pretty. Bald spots, split ends, color change and longterm hair loss are just a few outcomes to avoid by keeping your hair in its natural state as long as possible.
Weaves have many pros and cons but if done correctlly, it will save a lot of time and headaches. Do not expect a big glamorous result from a $10 hair weave. You get what you pay for. When buying hair, you have to look at the type of hair (Remy, Indian, Human, Synthetic etc) and that should give you an idea of how long the hair will last, if or how much it sheds and if you can or can not style with heat, color or glue or sew it in. Those are all things to take into consideration before purchasing hair weave.

A woman's job is never done... even in her sleep

Maintain your hairstyle at night by wrapping it up, pin curling, rolling it with rollers or rods and if done correctly everything should still be in tact.
Remember if your ever unsure about anything to consult with a professional.
