To all my fellow dieters out there this one is for you. Who likes pizza express? Who thinks that you can’t eat it because it’s going to make you fat? Well they have created a pizza that contains only 500 calories.

Today was my son and sisters birthdays so after seeing the advert for the new  Leggeras we decided to treat ourselves to a pizza. The kids had the fat ones and we thought we would get the slim ones. So we went online to have a look at which ones they had to offer. I chose Gustosa Leggera and my sister got Padana Leggera. When we got them home and opened the box they smelt and looked absolutely delicious with an added extra of rocket salad on top, or so we thought. The rocket salad was actually trying to disguise the fact the pizza doesn’t contain a middle. So instead of being a whole pizza it’s actually in fact a pizza the shape of the letter O. No wonder its half the calories because it is actually half the pizza. It was entirely satisfying to the mouth but not quite to the stomach, as I was still a little hungry. I personally thick they need to advertise their products a little better so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

Girls this is one for you. I want to make all women aware of the seriousness of having your regular smear tests. I want to make this aware because last September I went to the doctors as I was having problems down below; these issues were pain during intercourse, bleeding after intercourse and various bleeding throughout the month. The nurse at my surgery gave me a smear test, which I had heard horror stories about, and I can promise you it really doesn’t hurt and takes a matter of minutes if that. She said it would take up to two weeks to get the results. The wait was awful as I just wanted to know what was wrong with me, I can sometimes think the worst in everything and was thinking “oh no I have cancer, who’s gonna look after my kids”,  I can also say that all the drama was putting a strain on mine and my partners relationship. The final result was that I had severe abnormal cells, I was seen pretty quickly after that and had to have aColposcopy – This is a close examination of your cervix. It involves the use of a speculum (an instrument inserted into the vagina to allow the consultant to see the neck of the womb or cervix). Your consultant gynaecologist will then examine your cervix through a magnifying glass (colposcope). If abnormal cells are found a sample (biopsy) may be taken for further testing to see if the abnormal cells have spread into the lower layers of tissue in your cervix.  I then had to wait to for the results of the biopsy, it felt like I had to wait forever when in fairness it was only a matter of weeks. The consultant had written that he had cleared the bad cells and that I would have to have regular smears (every 6 months) to monitor whether they have come back. The reason I have chose to write this now is because it has been 4 months and for the past 3 months I have had all the same symptoms as before, they are gradually getting worse so I am booking another smear.  Wish me luck girlies.

The cause of cervical cancer is currently not fully understood. Human papilloma virus (HPV) leads to nearly all cases of cervical cancer, but it is not clear why some women develop HPV and others don’t, or why some women with HPV develop cervical cancer and others don’t.          

Here are some of the causes;

Many sexual partners – HPV can be passed through intercourse, so the greater your or your partner’s number of sexual partners, the greater the risk for developing HPV. 

Early sexual activity (before the age of 17) – immature cells are more vulnerable to HPV. 

Long term use of the contraceptive pill – this may reduce the use of barrier methods of contraception that safeguard against HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. 

Smoking – tobacco use is linked with the development of cervical cancer. 

Weak immune system – if you have HPV and a weak immune system caused by another condition such as HIV or rheumatoid arthritis, you are more likely to develop cervical cancer

As everybody knows I am a mum of three beautiful little rug rats, what you didn’t know is that my middle child is a brittle asthmatic, which can sometimes make our family life very difficult as to what exercise we can do. The one thing she absolutely loves is the swimming pool, which is fantastic as swimming is a great exercise for asthmatics. So every Tuesday my little beauty and I go to the local swimming baths. I am in desperate need of a new swim suit as all mine are a little too over the top for the local pools but great for the beaches of Ibiza. Just because I have three children doesn’t mean I have to slip on my granny pants but I wanted something that was more sophisticated rather than really sexy. So I found the perfect 1950’s pin up girl style bikini, its under wired and slightly padded which is awesome as my boobs are not exactly fully facing north anymore. It has wide halter neck straps which are perfect for covering that little crease of fat near your underarm that some people (me) hate on show. So that’s the sophisticated look, but it can be made sexy by wrapping the halter neck straps round the back and having it strapless style. Wearing it strapless in the sun means less tan lines. It comes in crisp white or black and white micro dot, bikini or tankini. Visit www.bouxavenue.com

Ann Summers and Relate the relationship people have joined together to bring you the first Uk national sex census. Just go to http://www.yoursexcensus.com/?cm_mmc=emv-_-20120113fr-_-category-_-Census and do the questionnaire. Ann Summers will give you 10% off your next order and one lucky winner will get £500. It was quick to do and made me think more about my sex life and what I won’t to gain from it.

 I am a mum of three and I really do not have the perfect body I am a size 12 and could definitely do with getting to the gym and toning up, but juggling house work and school runs and everything else that comes with being a mother, it’s hard to find the time. As you all know I try products and write about them and I am quite confident in what I wear, but like any women I have my hang ups, when I look through the Ann summers catalogue and see these beautiful girls with the “perfect” bodies, I often think would I look as good as her in that product. Well Ann Summers recently set out to find the new face of Ann Summers; people voted in their thousands and chose Lucy Moore.  She is a criminal justice student who entered the model search competition, not knowing that she would ever get as far as she had. I bet there are lots of girls that are not the “typical” model image that believe that is it only the “typical” model image that will get the modelling jobs.  Lucy has shown that you don’t have to be the “typical” slim girl with the fake boobs, and I for one have been given that extra confidence boost and can’t wait to see her in Ann summers products. She is sexy and strong and a perfect role model for all women young and old. I think it’s about time that girls like Lucy get to show the world what women really look like. Especially when the average size women in the UK is a size 14. Well done Lucy I can’t wait to see you modelling the products I love so much to buy.

Lucy Moore and the two runners up, you go girl!

Whether it is his birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, anniversary or even a present for just being the perfect partner, give him you! What better present could a man asked for than his girl all wrapped in a 12-foot long sexy, soft, cerise satin bow. I haven’t actually purchased this myself but I have tried it on in the Ann Summers store, I found it a little difficult to get the bow like the packaging, but I do believe that you can go on youtube.com and get demonstrations on how to get the perfect bow. When I have looked this product up it’s advised that you apply lingerie tape to keep your acquired bow in place. Once you have been unwrapped and revealed, try new things with it, like blind folding each other or tying each other up. The list is endless; just let your imagination run wild.

My boyfriend loves lace and I only realised this when I met up with him one night and was wearing flower pattern lacy tights, when we got home he couldn’t control himself. In a previous blog I wrote about our naughty little weekend away, well this was another item on my list of Ann summers products; if I am going to be truthful I didn’t actually get to wear it whilst we was away. So one night he was out and I thought I would surprise him when he got home, so I dressed up in this irresistible, sexy, seductive boding stocking, it was very flattering and the material was very soft. It has a black silky ribbon down the front so you can tighten or loosen as you please. I teamed it up with a black patent pair of classic court shoes. I felt sexier in this Collette body stocking then I have felt in most underwear. So I have written the positives but I have two negative things to say, the first is that my boyfriend ended up with a much bruised penis as the crotch less crotch wasn’t big enough and rubbed on him and me, the second is that after it was washed, the elastic in the material started to fray.

Back in September I had a regular smear and found out that I had to undergo some treatment for abnormal cells. After the treatment I had to wait four to six weeks before I could get down and dirty with the boyfriend again. So we booked a naughty little weekend away and as a top costumer of Ann Summers I was on the website ordering things before the deposit was even paid for the hotel. On my list was this Euphoric vibrating cock ring in black, it contains four little bullets, (just cause I use the word little, does not mean that the intensity of the vibrating is little, it really is not) around the edge of a stretchy, luxurious, silicone cock ring. Each bullet can be turned on or off with a little switch. So you can choose which areas you want stimulated. My boyfriend and I had never used a cock ring before and I would definitely advise any couple to try this one, I give it a 10 out of 10 and I’m pretty sure from his reaction my boyfriend does too. This is only part of the IN2U sex toy collection that has been designed by the sexperts at Ann Summers to boost or enhance the sex that couples share together.

Combining art and sex, the glass dildo is the new sex toy that is already proving popular with people round the world. I found this one on www.lovehoney.com . My inspiration for choosing this particular hand-blown dildo by Icicles was my 25th birthday. My boyfriend sent me my very first bunch of flowers by interflora, he reckons every girl should be sent flowers at least once in their lives, I definitely know that will not just be the first bunch I receive. So I thought about the all those ladies that don’t have that man in their life to send flowers,  it would be a bit peculiar if you started sending yourself flowers so why not send yourself this beautifully crafted dildo that will survive longer than any other rose bought will survive. With 7.5 inches of length and a maximum 4.75inches of girth, why settle for the average garden bloom. The rose tip is the largest of the four shapely bulbs. The nodules and ridges will give you the ultimate satisfaction, so go send yourself a rose ladies.

I absolutely love this long sleeve chemise, I found it on www.lovehoney.co.uk. There are so many jumpers and cardigans out at the moment that have the same crotchet-style pattern, just this one reveals a lot more flesh than it hides

 I actually think for the more daring women, this could be worn out, well if Abby Clancy can walk out wearing practically nothing even though I have to say she looks amazing with it, then why can’t we average women.

The only thing is, you don’t won’t to do a Lady gaga and flash everything to everyone so make sure you have appropriate underwear or slip underneath. It really isn’t very attractive.

Then again you can take the sheer experience to the bedroom and go completely commando, with a low-cut scoop at the front and vagina skimming length; he will be like putty in your hands. Add a little “Only Way Is Essex” and give yourself a vagazzle to glitz it up even more.
