Vajazzles!

The other evening my mother called me in to her room where she was watching television and asked “what’s a vajazzle?”

Sharp intake of breath and gulping so as not to laugh too much from your truly, and a reply of “jewelling your lady garden mum.”

She didn’t believe me, so I had to google what it was for her!

After which there was I explaining to a near septuagenarian that to be vajazzled meant that after having a Brazilian/Hollywood wax, crystals were stuck around the lady garden area.

Seriously, does anyone else have these conversations with their mothers?

And on another point, is vajazzling common-place these days? Does everyone do it? And, more importantly why would anyone do it?

Now, I’m all up for a Hollywood, but sticking crystals around the nether regions could be asking for trouble.

What if one fell off and managed to work its way inside – shudders – doesn’t even bear thinking about.

Now that would be an interesting conversation with the doctor 😉

 

What Does Romance Mean to you?

… after years of Disney, fairy stories and Hollywood movies where the girls always get a ‘happy-ever-after’ I thought that romance meant there was a knight in shining armour, or Prince Charming, with big romantic gestures ready to sweep a girl off her feet and ride off into the sunset of ‘happy-ever-afters’.

But you know what?

I don’t want sunbursts and marble halls – to quote Anne of Green Gables.

The most romantic thing for me is the most precious commodity anybody owns … time!

Just spending time with that special someone is worth more than any amount of a flash extravagance.

And when you are spending time with someone – even if it’s just a few hours, you can almost make time stop, so it feels like for ever.

It’s the simple things that mean the most.

– Thoughtfulness.

– Kindness.

– Long kisses.

– Talking about anything and everything.

– Walks at sunset.

– Cuddling.

– Spooning.

– Holding hands so that you don’t know where your hand ends and theirs starts.

– Listening to music in the candlelight.

Romance doesn’t have to cost the earth.

Sometimes the simplest things have a way of making you feel like everything is … magic 😉
