10 reasons to get some.
No matter whether you talk about it openly or the act remains behind closed doors, sex happens ... if you're lucky. And if you're not getting lucky, you should! Besides the obvious reasons, did you know it's healthy for you?
Oh YES.
Here are 10 health benefits of sex, according to Kathleen Doheny and reviewed by Louise Chang, M.D., for WebMD.
1. Sex relieves stress by lowering blood pressure. I know it puts me in a good mood.
2. Sex boosts your immune system. Having sex regularly has been linked with higher levels of an antibody, IgA, which can prevent colds and other infections.
3. Sex burns calories. Thirty minutes of sex burns at least 85 calories. That means you can drop a pound in 21 hours' worth of sex! I bet that puts you in the mood.
4. Sex improves heart health, with evidence of this in men. Men who have sex at least once a week reduced their risk of fatal heart attacks by half.
5. Sex reduces cancer risk, with evidence of this in men as well. Regular ejaculation may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
6. Sex boosts self-esteem. Who wouldn't feel sexy knowing that the person you wanted to get naked with wanted to get naked with you too? And if it's lovemaking, there's the added confidence you get when you know that someone you love feels the same way.
7. Sex increases the love hormone. Sex increases the level of oxytocin in your body, which actually builds a bond of trust and nurturing.
8. Sex reduces pain. As the love hormone flows through your body, endorphins are released. And endorphins reduce physical pain.
9. Sex strengthens pelvic-floor muscles. Ever seen the Sex and the City episode where Samantha talks about working out her Kegel muscles? Those are the ones. And, ladies, if you don't know how to use them, it's time to learn. Not only do they provide sexual pleasure for you and your partner, but strengthening those muscles reduces the risk of incontinence later in life. You tighten your muscles at the bottom of your pelvis and release. Go ahead and try it. No one will even be able to tell.
10. And last, but definitely not least, sex eases sleep. The love hormone also helps you get enough sleep, which has been linked to lower blood pressure and maintaining a healthy weight.
So go on and get some. Just do it ... for your health!

Ten Rules for Being Human
by Cherie Carter-Scott
1. | You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period. |
2. | You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life." |
3. | There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work." |
4. | Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. |
5. | Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned. |
6. | "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here." |
7. | Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. |
8. | What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. |
9. | Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust. |
10. | You will forget all this. |

“Though the primary focus of the Vans Warped Tour is about having fun, the presence of organizations such as Keep A Breast gives our fans a chance to learn something that could eventually save their lives,” said festival founder Kevin Lyman.
As the Pit Reporter from Vans Warped Tour, Caruso was up close and personal with the bands on the road. From her photo sessions this summer, she has donated over 45 images to the Keep A Breast Foundation. Unite the United will facilitate an online auction of images from the exhibition alongside music memorabilia and celebrity breast casts including Katy Perry beginning November 26 - December 6th. 100% of the proceeds generated from the touring exhibition and the online auction will be donated to the Keep A Breast Foundation’s youth awareness and outreach efforts.

Vampires....
xo
Erica
holidays and me.
I don't want to be home nor do I want to be in Colorado with family over the holidays.
What I would really like to do is go on vacation. I'm down to go by myself...but I would much rather spend the time over the holidays with some friends. I want to go to Paris, but I am defiantly not opposed to going to a beautiful and tropical location. I happen to really enjoy lounging on the beach and sipping pina coladas. :)
and what better way to do that than with some friends.
so if you want to come on an adventure...lazy or exciting....Paris, Jamaica, whatever...
I'm into it. let me know.

e
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.
