The 50 Shade of Grey Frinzy

The Essence of the Fifty Shades Trilogy & Why Women Love It.

I recently read the first two books in the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy (have the third one on hold), and it was easy to see what the big fuss was about when it comes to these books. Some people think its the crazy hot sex scenes, but come on now, we can seriously read/ watch/ imagine/ see that in lots of other places too and masses of women aren't swooning to that stuff. Personally, I found the writing of the sex scenes annoying, referring to her womanhood (trying to keep this at least PG lol) as "her sex" just totally irked me for some reason and put me off of those scenes completely.

What I think the underlying draw to this story really is, is that it hits on so many women's primal desire to "fix" broken men. Well that and to find a man who is an actual man... not a wimp who has no idea what he's doing in life or in the bedroom. I do think it pushes that to an extreme with Christian's "stalking" tendencies, but at the same time, from the right man, sometimes being a little overprotective can be a little hot.

I think another thing these books show, that draws women in, is a man willing to change for love, which is kinda what a lot of women hope will happen when they find a guy... but it rarely does in the real world.

These basic concepts are concepts women swoon over, because they are little things that a lot of us have tried and failed at in our lives, so we love the idea that it could work out that way.... That these people could grow together and be happy... because in reality it rarely ever happens. Of course I haven't read the third book, so I don't know how it ends for Ana and Christian, but I can wait to find out! :)

Aspira Pura - Pure Joy Bottled

I had the great joy of randomly bumping into this company on Instagram, where they offered to send me a few free bottles of their water to see how I liked it. I must say I absolutely love it, it's like pure joy bottled! Aspira Pura is an amazingly crisp water that I just couldn't get enough of. Which is most likely due to the reverse osmosis process that adds the minerals and electrolytes, which regular purified water doesn't have, including Calcium Chloride, Potassium Bicarbonate, and Magnesium Chloride. Another great feature of Aspira Pura is the bottles, which are BPA free. I've found through trial and error that this means that even when they are shipped in the heat your water won't get that plastic taste... if you drink cheap Wal-mart water you know what I'm talking about. Depending where you look, this water will run you about the same price / mL as Icelandic Glacial or LIFEWTR, but that's because you're getting the same great minerals, electr

VigLink - for my bloggers!

VigLink is a way for blogs to make money, especially when google is messing up your AdSense (like they're doing to me for some reason). From what I understand they create hyperlinks on thing within your blog that you have talked about, but may not have thought to link to the company's site, because maybe they weren't your main focus. Then they give you $ for the traffic that those links (and some that you have already made) get. In 2015 I made over $700 with VigLink, mainly due to a few of my Christmas shopping posts. So they are totally legit! And you can make way more money than with AdSense (or at least I have in the past). Plus you can use both at the same time, so you can earn money from VigLink's links and from the ads that AdSense puts up. Win - Win!
