No olives & a Giveaway

I love a martini. Not the ones with olives and vodka. Nope, I love girlie martinis. The fruitier (or chocolately) the better! Maybe it's just the way then then stem of the martini glass feels between my fingers. Maybe it's how sexy I feel balancing the fragile glass while sipping such sweet nectar.

My favorite martini is definitely the Appletini. However, maybe it's time I branch out. However, there are requisites. It has to look sexy and taste good!

Chocolate Martini
Don't forget to rim the glass with some cocoa powder or even better, chopped chocolate bits.

• 2 oz vodka
• 1 1/2 oz Godiva Chocolate liquer
  
• powdered cocoa for rimming

1. Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
2. Shake vigorously.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with cocoa.

Doesn't that sound delicious? I'll have to pick up some Godiva Liquer for our next happy hour.

I know it's a reality show, but

Okay, my tastes in reality shows usually runs with Top Chef or Project Runway. Once upon a time I even watched Survivor. Okay, sometimes late at night while I'm up working, I watch The Deadliest Catch. But I do not watch anything on E!

Guess what? I will be this Sunday, specifically Denise Richards' reality show. Normally I could care less what celebraties are doing (hey, they're people too--they need a life). HOWEVER, Ms. Richards is going to get some sex ed, Passion Parties-style! Our very on president, Pat Davis (and author of The Passion Parties Guide to Great Sex) is giving Ms. Richards and her friends their first foray into toy parties. Yep, you heard it! Check out the video preview.

It looks like an interesting episode! So I'm going to Tivo it so I can fast-forward through a the whiney parts.

You don't have to be Denise Richards to host your own Passion Party! Just email me to host a June or July party and you'll get $175 FREE in party sales!

Giveaway Winners!

I had a glass of wine with dinner Monday night and for some reason, after that, I lost my voice! Okay, it was kinda raspy and hoarse and I sounded mostly normal in the morning. It wasn't even a sexy raspy, just freakish.

What are you doing to pamper yourself? I have always believe in taking time for yourself, more so now that I'm a mom. Are do you just fall into bed every night exhausted? Take 20 minutes and read that bodice ripper you've been hiding in your nightstand. Or you can have that glass of wine and some chocolate after everyone has gone to bed. My favorite is to fill up the tub with some bath salts and grab that stack of magazines I haven't had a chance to read all week. I trying not to read any parenting magazines while I'm relaxing.

Do you give yourself pamper time or me time? What do you do?

Okay, now for the giveaway winners. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to announce them. Drumroll, please. Will Justice Fergie, Jessica, and Gasa please send me your mailing address? Send me an email to kim (at) kimstoys (dot) com and I'll send your Valentine's goody bags with Passion Parties samples in them!

Passion Diva Tip #87

Heighten your senses during foreplay. Blindfold your partner and tease them with everyday objects: silk scarves, a feather tickler (or makeup brush), an ice cube, or a soft whip! We depend on our sense of sight so heavily that a blindfold will make every touch new and exciting. You can even make a game of it and ask your partner to guess the object. Or rent the movie Nine and a Half Weeks for some sensual inspiration!

Things are super busy right now and I apologize for no Sophia update this time--but soon, I promise! So I send you a quick tip to add more Passion in your life! I also have two specials running until Sept 26th! To redeem, visit my website.

• Receive a free feather tickler with your order of $50 or more (after discounts and before shipping and taxes). Just enter Feather Tickler in the comments section on check out!
• 12% OFF Online Promo Code: TICKLE
  Enter "Feather Tickler" in comments for free Tickler with order of $50+
  (Minimum total is before shipping and taxes. This offer is not combineable with any other offer or discount; nor can it be used towards an order for a party)

I have a last minute cancellation. If you want to host a Passion Party on Oct 5th and you're in MD, DC, or Northern VA, you can earn DOUBLE Hostess Credit! For details contact me here.
