Lingerie and Passion-Bra Care

There is definitely some steps we can take to ensuring we get the most out of our Lingerie That is washing it properly I never recommend machine washing any wired bras. But I did take the time to see what some experts thought about bra care.- - - - - - - - Now since the average woman owns nine bras but only wears six of them regularly, it obvious that extending the longevity of your lingerie is probably a good idea -- especially as those undergarments can get quite pricey Most of us have never been schooled in how to take care of our bras,- - - ---------- Although this depends on your personal lifestyle and levels of hygiene, the experts recommend that women wash any bra after wearing it twice. Of course, if it's a sports bra, you should at least rinse it out in cool water (cold water helps a bra maintain its elasticity) after each use to get rid of the perspiration on it so that the fabric itself isn't damaged. You don't want to destroy the fibers in the sports bra that cause it to wick moisture.- - ----- Each and every expert I spoke to said that hand washing your bras with gentle soap and cool water is the best way to prolong the life of your bras. This suggestion becomes especially important if you're caring for lingerie that's nicer than your average t-shirt bra. When it comes to underwire or more sturdy bras, always handwash,- - ------ In order to protect your bra's elasticity and fabric, you don't want to use any harsh detergents when you wash it. Bleach is especially terrible for your bra's shelf life. This is important to remember even if you choose to hand wash your garments, even popular hand-washing detergents such as Woolite can contain bleach. - - ----- SORT your Colors! Although this rule holds for all laundry, it's especially important when it comes to your lingerie. You must sort your colors. Be very careful when you're washing undergarments because they contain synthetics, [which means that] they have a great propensity to pick up dyes from the washload. Only clean whites with whites. So that brand new lacy red bra? You most likely shouldn't throw it in with your crisp, white t-shirt bra -- unless you really love pink.- - ----- Although the experts were willing to stray from the "always hand wash" rule, they insisted that hang drying your bras is the ONLY way to go. Never ever put a bra in the dryer, the extreme heat, which is used in a mechanical dryer, is a major problem when it comes to caring for delicate items. Instead, hang dry your bras by the strap or lay them to dry on a towel, cups facing up (i.e. nipples facing up). And make sure that your bras are properly reshaped before you dry them. If your bra cup gets dented while being washed, just take your fingers and gently smooth it out so that it looks like a cup again. Take these steps for caring for your bras and you will enjoy your bras for a lot longer :)

Lingerie and Passion

So this week has been insanely busy!  I was interviewed my local paper. They are doing an article on local Etsy artisans and they contacted me Monday  asked me to be included. :)
So Tuesday I was interviewed over the phone and the journalist Natalie Paddon also arranged to come with a photographer to my Voluptuously Hip studio on Friday to take photos for the article and also do a quick video for the newspapers website.
I was also contacted on monday by Crave Handmade. Its an online magazine that is everything handmade. I was asked to contribute to a giveaway. The giveaway is for brides.
So I created a beautiful three piece lingerie set
I used beautiful high quality lace. The three pieces consists of a Lace Bandeau Bra, Lace Booty panties, and a matching garter. And the lucky winner will be able to choose the size they want, sizes available in xs-xl
The lingerie set is valued at $60.00

I'm not sure yet when the giveaway begins. But I will be sure to post it when I find out. I will also post the link to the article in the local paper when it is available.

Passion and Lingerie

My new lingerie studio is bright and spacious. I finally have taken the time to set it up the way I want. Showcasing my in stock items that are ready to ship. Both machines set up on the same table so I can fluently go from one machine to the other. I now have a separate area for my storage room, which is where I have my cutting table, my closet with all business paperwork, and nearly a dozen clear plastic bins with all my fabric inside. I love the clear plastic bins for stashing my fabric. So I can easily see what fabric I have to work with. It also keeps it nice and safe til I'm ready to use it.
Instead of sewing lately, I have been busy organizing my studio, and working on advertising for my Voluptuously Hip shop.
I am going to be featured along with other etsians in my local news paper. I am also preparing a giveaway for a wedding blog
;)
Ill b back sewing some new beautiful lingerie

Happy Days

Passion less today :(

So today I had an off day. Wasn't really able to create or be creative at all. And didn't have the ambition to play with any new toys or products. Do you ever have those days? The weather was great and it should have been the perfect day, but it really wasn't. Kinda sad really. And I have so much to do. I should say I have sew much to do. LOL I have 2 bras in a size H38 to make and sew, and then a night gown to finish and ship off to Texas. But things just got in the way and brought me down. I try to always have a happy positive outlook, I hate being down. Tomorrow is another day. So hopefully a better day. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow now, and hopefully I feel up to it. Nothing worse than trying to create something and you are just not feeling the groove. Well tomorrow I will take pics of the start to finish of bra making Just for something a little different :) Happy Days

Passion and Fun Times

I have been writing daily about the different sensual products that are available, because unless you step inside a sex toy shop often you may not know that there is an amazing array of products out there to Bring more Passion and Fun times into the bedroom. So today I wanted to have a very romantic sensual evening and test out a few products. I started the evening off getting Ready for Romance by using a very special shaving duo For skin like velvet. Duo includes Soft & Silky Shaving Creme (available in four fragrances) and Soft & Silky After Shave Protection Mist. After I was freshly shaved and showered I made sure I applied my daily dab of pure satisfaction.This is definitely a product you want to use daily. Seriously! It gets better and batter every day! :) I slipped into some sexy Lingerie From Voluptuously Hip My Boyfriend loves the sexy one of a kind custom Lingerie that I make but he likes it even better when I make it for me to wear.

Passion and Lingerie

So it is an interesting life designing and creating Lingerie and selling bed room toys.
It definitely makes for some interesting conversation.
And yesterday I talked about some of the different lotions and potions that enhance the bedroom experience.
I talked about a fantastic intimacy gel, well today I would like to discuss another great product. Nibblers. It is available in watermelon, strawberry,  raspberry and grape flavors. It contain Shea butter and beeswax so its great for moisturizer. And nibblers is mainly for your NIPPLES. There is no doubt that nipple stimulation can get u in the mood and get the juices flowing in all the right spots ;)
So u put some nibblers on your nipples and it gets a lil tingling but it also tastes great and is edible. But nibblers also makes a great lip balm. Makes ur lips feel a lil plumper as well.
It is definitely a fun and tasty addition to your sensual selection.
There are lots of interesting sensual products available check out my selection at
