Book Event with Mary Blocksma & Her Dog

Calling all dog lovers, would-be and could-be dog adopters, and supporters of Michigan artists!

      

Please come help writer/artist, Mary Blocksma and Gracie celebrate their new memoir that describes their awkward early adventures and relationship. Both of them, largely untrained, had a lot to learn, but they found ways to adjust to each other. 

The book is dedicated to all persons who help abandoned animals and, in particular, to Shawna Guiett of Amazing Grace Animal Rescue, (also on FaceBook) where Gracie and Mary found each other.

Drop by any time between 2:00 and 7:00 p.m. 

(maybe even later)

Please come meet Gracie, check out thr book.

View the original art Mary did for the book and more.   

You can even gift your pride and joy (or someone else's) with a handmade dog coat (Mary loves to make dog coats, but please don't bring your dog--just his or her measurements!) 

If you live too far to party in Bay City, you can find the book or order a custom-fit coat on Mary Blocksma's Beaver Island Arts Etsy page.

I have been a fan of Mary Blocksma for years.  I've been lucky to visit her studio, hold inspirational conversations and even party with her! 

Many of her watercolors of Lake Michigan and Michigan wild life grace my walls. She is a wonderful writer, a talented artist and a beautiful person.

#ThursdayThirteen - 13 Fun Sex Facts

While searching the internet for some fun stuff to feature on Monday Mojo, I found these fun facts I had to share. I admit to trying a few... not telling which though.

1.  Snuggle with him while watching TV at night. Couples who cuddle regularly are eight times less likely to get depressed than those who kiss only during intercourse.

2. Athletic women say their sexual performance is better...

3.  ...and maybe that’s because female pro athletes have both better clitoral blood flow and higher sexual satisfaction than women who don’t exercise.

4.  Furthermore, one study found that just 20 minutes of exercise before going at it will improve your sexual response.

5.  Take time to really figure out your feelings—it could help you in the bedroom. See, women with high emotional intelligence experience more orgasms.

6.  Almost 53 percent of women have used external stimulation. If you haven’t tried it, start with a small one that won’t overwhelm you.

7.  A study of college students found that over a two-year period, both men and women had twice as many hook-ups as first dates.

8.  Worldwide, only 30 percent of men are circumcised. Dating an uncut guy? Keep in mind that the tip of his penis may be more sensitive because it’s not always exposed. So you may need to use a slightly more gentle touch.

9.  Having sex once a week can improve your immune function by 30 percent.

10.  A woman has a better shot at climaxing during sex if the walls of her vaginal canal are stimulated. A study found that penis length doesn’t help accomplish this—girth does. Make him feel girthier by keeping your legs together during sex. It creates more friction.

11.  Still, that doesn’t stop men from seeking out enhancements. A handful of new gadgets on the market claim to help men add length and possibly girth to their penis.

12.  If that doesn’t work, he can try dropping a few kilos. For every 16 kilos an overweight man loses, his penis appears to grow one inch.

13.  Scientists believe that some women have a more active G-spot than others. Trying various positions, like leaning back while you’re on top, may help him stimulate it if yours isn’t as active.

#HumpDayHottie

Taming Rachel is currently in edits. As soon as I get a cover I'll share. In the meantime, enjoy a nice view of Dustin Stiles. He's a larger than life hottie who uses a blindfold and a silk scarft to convince his lady to take a chance on love... forever.

Monday Must Be A Man...

Wrap Me In Choclate

Hi, My name is Mary. I'm a chocoholic.

Do you love chocolate so much you'd bathe in it?

Here's your chance.

Warm 1/2 cup of honey in a microwave then stir in 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened cocoa until it dissolves. If the mixture cools, reheat it, but don't let it get hot. Now spread the mudlike spaste evenly over your body. 

Wrap your legs, arms and torso in plastic wrap to seal in the paste and sit or lie for 20 minutes. 

Once done, peel of the wrap and wsh away the paste in a warm shower. 

Your skin should feel silky smooth.

There are hydrating and revitalizing antioxidants in cocoa and honey.
