Night one - My beautiful, young skin approach!


Olive Oil, Olive oil, Olive oil! 

Tonight is my first night starting this whole EVO thing. I’ve decided to try the olive oil on my face for tonight and will continue for a few weeks and see how it goes! Why? Well, apparently EVO is the ultimate beauty solution. Yep, that’s right! I’ve been doing tons of research and I’m just curious enough to see for myself. From what I gather, Extra Virgin Olive Oil will keep your skin looking young and supposedly beautiful. Now, I need all the EVO I can get! 

You can use “EVO” (sorry, but using EVO is much quicker than typing it out. It’s my lazy day!) on your cuticles, hair, body, face, ingest it, etc. It’s an everything in one kind of deal I guess. 

I don’t have time to soak my hands in EVO, but if it’s as amazing and miraculous as I hear, I’m happy to try it on my face every night.

NIGHT ONE:
I’ve had the EVO on my face for about an hour and a half. OK, OK, you caught me. I’m lying, I didn’t use EVO because I didn’t have any so I ued DHC’s Olive Oil stuff for the face. So sue me! Anyways, I figure it’s good enough, right?

I’ve had it on for a while and I’ve used it before, but didn’t repeat it til’ now. The thing is, I hate the feeling of the oil on my face! It itches! I guess those tiny little peach fuzzies soaked in olive oil make things itchy. After a few minutes if I don’t touch my face, it doesn’t bother me. Now since it’s so anti-aging, I smothered the areas around my eyes (even my lids!) in the stuff. (Hey, If I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it good!) and that was a mistake. I’ve had watery, itchy as hell eyes for the past hour because the stuff runs in them! Tomorrow night, the eyelids stay oil-free! It’s also contributed to my killer headache. 
I thought I’d share my new beauty adventure with you guys, but I want to hear your beauty regime! Anybody else use this EVO solution? Care to share? Any tips would be very welcome as well!

I’m off to do my school assignment and then bed. If I happen to wake up and be stunningly gorgeous, I will report back ASAP! Tomorrow I’ll be adding the oil to my bath. I just hope it doesn’t make me greasy and I also hope I don’t forget to do it! Ha. Ha.

Sugar... for the ladies!



  Sugar is from EvolvedNovelties’ Short and Sweet line.  An outstanding toy for couple or solo play, Sugar is a one of a kind, high quality dual action vibrator also known as “rabbit style vibrator.” The textured, short shaft works internally while the clitoral attachment vibrates over the clitoris. You can see in the photo that the clitoral stimulator, unlike other dual action vibe’s attachment, is long and has rippled texture like its shaft. This makes Sugar stand out from other dual action vibrators because I’ve never came across one that had a clitoral attachment with a tip shaped to conform to your body and that was bendable to better fit your shape. Most consist only of rabbit ears or a small bullet. The funny bean like shape means that Sugar will provide pin point stimulation to the clitoris. If you’ve ever owned a “rabbit style” that just didn’t reach your clitoris like it was supposed to, then you’ll understand why the curved tip and longer attachment is so rave-worthy.

SPECS:
-Sugar has 4" dedicated to insertion.
Sugar measures 6 ¾” total.
-Circumference: 4 1/2"
-Diameter: 1 3/8"
-Made of hygienic medical-grade TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber)
-Phthalates free
- Waterproof
-The non-animal shaped attachment is a little over 4” long from tip to butt.

Sugar’s slick and short TPR material makes it easy and painless to use. TPR is somewhat similar to jelly toys, but is safer for your body and doesn’t contain that acrid odor or oozing greasy stuff. A great alternative to jelly, TPR feels similar too, but is slightly less forgiving/firmer, in my opinion. 

The clitoral attachment is bendable and when turned on, it jiggles, promising strong vibrations.
The sleek, smoothness and no-drag material makes it glide well. The “shaft” also has ridges to it. They are nice, not overwhelming.  Like the attachment, the tip of the shaft also has a bean like shape which can be used for G-spotting or clitoral stimulation. It works wonderfully at finding the right spot without being too intense. The ease of use and perfect size make this a perfect first dual action toy.

Sugar has 2 bullet vibrators, another thing that sets her apart from other dual actions. Visible through the beautiful, pink transparent TPR, you can see a bullet located in the attachment and one in the tip of the vibrator. The bullets were perfectly placed. They carry equally strong vibrations throughout the entire toy. While inserted, the bullet in the tip can add vibrations to the G-spot or other internal spots while the bullet in the attachment will vibrate the clitoris. Also, the bullet being located in the tip makes this good for pin point stimulation. You can use the curved tip externally to hit just the spot you want.

With 3 steady, deep and rumbly vibrations, Sugar is one of my go-to toy (next to Flutter!) 3 settings sounds like little to choose from, but I actually enjoy all 3. The lowest setting is nice for a tease, but strong enough to feel them well. The second setting will work well for those who don’t have a clit o’ steel and need earth shattering vibrations. I am one of the luckies who can use all settings. The third would more than likely work well even for a clit o’ steel! Instead of buzzy, high pitched, numbing vibrations, Sugar has powerful, penetrative, high quality vibrations.
The settings are easy. You have a push button on the end of the toy where the battery cap is. Push it for powering on/off and to cycle through the speeds. The only thing about the button is the location. It tends to be in the same place I hold it making it accidentally turn setting or turn off during use. It happened and I just re-adjusted my hand. Simple.

HOW TO USE SUGAR   Sugar isn’t your average rabbit vibrator with pearls that jam, tangly cords and tons of batteries. Sugar only needs 2AAA batteries. No cords, no finicky extras.
With a safe O-ring to seal out water, you can Sugar in the water worry-free! It works wonderfully in the water. Not a drop of water found inside after use. Being waterproof also makes Sugar an ideal choice for those like me, who want to keep their toys clean.  Just make sure the cap is on well.

Warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner is all you need to clean it well.


Sugar, as well as many other Evolved Novelties’ toys comes in their own metal tins and they’re absolutely gorgeous! Perfect for long term storage, they look nice and are perfect for gift-giving! It has a durable plastic lid that locks in place by two metal clasps at the top and bottom. The metal tin has beautiful text on it describing the toy (in cleanly chosen words) and the back contains loads of useful info about it. Everything you need right there! There’s a plastic insert to hold the toy in, but it can be removed. I kept mine in.


TIPS:
-Always remove batteries when the toy is not in use! I have ruined 2 toys just by leaving the batteries in. Real bummer so  I ain’t  taking any chances with Sugar!
-Make sure the cap is on well before using in water.
-Do NOT store this in direct contact with other toys. You should keep toys from touching each other because they can ruin. Some materials have a reaction and will melt and turn gummy, ruining the toys. Thankfully, Evolved has such amazing containers that a lot of their toys come in. They’re super nice and beautiful and you can store your toy in it for the long term.

PROS
Waterproof.
Nice, safe material.
Sugar is compatible with both silicone and water based lubricants! Yay! Some toys will degrade or ruin when used with silicone or oil based lubricants so always be sure to find out before using a lube with your toys. Sugar is safe though! I love the options you have with it
Beautiful
Strong motors. High quality vibrations.
Ease of use.
Makes a wonderful toy for couple play (the male using on female.)
Will more than likely meet your expectations for both couple and solo play.
Non-intimidating features. Nothing to overwhelm someone who’s just venturing into the world of dual action toys.
Comes with metal tin for storage/gift giving. Tin takes up little space.
Size is perfect for me and will work for a variety of anatomies.
Simple enough for beginners and plenty for an advanced user as well.
Comes with 1 year warranty.

I have no “cons” with Sugar. The placement of the button may be awkward for some, but I was able to get around it.  Sugar made it to the very top of my toy box immediately. This is actually a vibrator that I would recommend to about every woman I know. Gladly! 

PS: Sugar also comes in a purple and a non-textured style! I definitely recommend checking Evolved Novelties out!
