Can I Use Backyard Aloe As a Personal Lubricant?

April 23rd, 2010

Well, we believe the better question is how much fun would it be to have sex on your hammock in the backyard? Or on your swing set? Or under the stars with a warm blanket and some good wine? Those questions withstanding, many people have used raw aloe as a personal lubricant. In fact, that’s how we discovered the magic of aloe and experienced our first of many magic moments! We picked it right from our fields, filleted it and used it as not only a lubricant, but also a moisturizer. It worked unbelievably well. But, it was a bit runny, was difficult to work with and took away the spontaneity (who wants to fillet an aloe stalk when they’re ready for something more)? And, you of course need to be careful to make sure you get all the dirt off, don’t leave any of the prickly skin or have any bugs. As with anything you put on or in your body, you should make sure you aren’t allergic and if you feel any discomfort, immediately stop using it.

Raw aloe can be sensual, slippery fun and potentially healing (the healing properties of Aloe have been known for some time). But why go through the hassle of filleting the aloe, keeping it cool, delicately insuring it there’s no dirt or bugs in it, when you can get the same effect with out it, in a ready to use bottle that also includes incredible fragrances from organic essential oils? When trying to figure out which lubricant to choose, a lubricant with a lot of aloe is great for you, so more can be better! Be sure to read the label carefully; many tout having aloe vera or other great things like Vitamin E, but when you get down to it, there isn’t much of it in the bottle. So, read the label carefully and always look for a product like Aloe Cadabra, which has more than 95% organic aloe vera, along with some incredible other food grade ingredients that help provide thickness, lubricity, sensual aromas and other great qualities that make it fantastic for you and your partner or by yourself. So, use that aloe in your backyard. Better yet, use Aloe Cadabra while in your backyard…under the stars!

Yes! Help for Vaginal Dryness is Here

April 19th, 2010

The topic of vaginal dryness is so common among women particularly between the ages of 40 and 60 that it is often a topic to be shared when the “girls” get together. Yes, it is a problem that forms a common bond, and has a definite effect on the sex life. Check out the facts below.

A healthy vagina, which is made up of many layers of cells, stays lubricated with clear fluid, which keeps the vagina healthy, elastic and noticeable when you are aroused. How much lubrication occurs is determined and affected by different factors such as: low estrogen, menopause, stress, fatigue, chemo therapy, medications, allergies, pregnancy, childbirth, drying and chemically based soaps, and of course emotional stress.

Dryness can cause irritation, itching and burning, avoidance of sexual intercourse, and lack of libido, thinning and drying of the vaginal wall. Emotional stress can be a huge factor in dryness. Many women believe and have heard that sexual drive/libido is supposed to go away during menopause. Literature and studies have shown, however, that sex drive is not automatically assumed to be a factor in menopause.

Some 80% of women report symptoms of vaginal dryness during perimenopause and menopause. Other studies indicate that 95% of women report some occasional vaginal dryness.

OK…those are some facts. Now let’s deal with some solutions and create healthy ways to have a relationship between the body, and sexual experiences. What can YOU do?

1. Drink plenty of water (not soda) to ensure that the body is well hydrated. Balance the diet. Add some nutritional supplements if needed.

2. Be careful about using harsh chemicals, soaps, douches and other products containing allergens, dyes and fragrances.

3. Exercise to increase the “chi” or chi energy and breath moving through the body.

4. Stimulate your sexual organs. Lubrication may take a bit longer, but it is still there. Spend time self pleasuring. With a partner, slow down, take your time.

5. Use some personal lubricant that is natural, and will help to restore your own vaginal moisture. Aloe Cadabra is a magical gel that is 95% organic aloe.

6. Affirm you! You may be getting older, but certainly sexual activity can be joyous and exciting. Keep the juices flowing.

Vaginal Dryness: Mission Possible for Women!

April 13th, 2010

stressWe need regular sexual activity to “keep the juices flowing.” Studies show that natural lubrication helps keep our organs in good working order.

But… what about our “emotional body?” We need that emotional connection, that exhilarating feeling of looking and really SEEING into our partner’s eyes, embracing the mind, body, spirit. We need to feel loved, wanted, and language that matches the loving heartfelt spirit. We need to have patience with allowing the natural lubrication to flow like a river of ecstasy. We need to create time, have space, and have an emotionally healthy connection….and then the magic happens. To have this connection means that we may also invite our natural juices to flow on their own. Often, we may add the gift of an all natural personal lubricant to join in this ecstatic journey. Aloe Cadabra with three scents of Natural Aloe, French Lavender, and Tahitian Vanilla, enhances the moment and deepens communication about what we like.

Stress in life…..do we need to name the main stressors we face daily? We suggest a few: financial strain, job stress, health concerns, relationship difficulties, and of course the kids. These stressors stop our bodies from feeling fluid (and fluidity in the mind, body, and spirit creates fluidity in natural lubrication of the physical and sexual body). We may not realize how much these stressors affect us until we try to do too much, and adding the pressure of sexual expression to the list of “I must and I should and I have to.” STOP, in the Name of Love,(as sung by the Supremes.)  Our Super woman or Superman uniform becomes our life as we run to try to catch up (and we never do).  Vaginal dryness is a HUGE factor in how we respond to stress. Choose to change this pattern NOW.

Intimate Lubricant with Organic Ingredients

April 7th, 2010

Go Green Street’s “Green Tara” knows that her body is no place for antifreeze and other harsh chemicals!:

A part of the “green” movement is eliminating harmful chemicals from our life and working to get them removed from person care items. Propylparaben Propylene Glycol if often used as a chemical in many personal lubricants that is also used as an antifreeze. Sorry but, anything that is uses as an antifreeze, is not going to be used on me!

We all look for “green” products, and Aloe Cadabra is a product that can be used to “GREEN YOUR BEDROOM ROUTINE“. This silky lubricant is free from Glycerine, Parabens, Alcohol, Hormones and other harsh chemical substances. It truly is an eco-friendly “between the sheets” product!

Aloe Personal Lubricant: Highly Recommended

March 31st, 2010

wet-blueJulie’s Journal was skeptical…now they’re just slippery!

Quite honestly, when I received the Aloe Cadabra samples I didn’t have much faith in them. They had the same nice scent, and the smooth feeling we were use to, but I just knew in the back of my mind, they would break down and become sticky. WOW! Were we ever proven wrong! Not only did it last, but it never, ever became sticky and gross. We’re sold!

We also like the fact that the ingredients in Aloe Cadabra are all natural. Have you read the ingredients labels of some personal lubricants on the market? Chlorhexidine? Methylparaben? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not put that stuff on my body, thankyouverymuch. So make sure to try out the all natural Aloe Cadabra lubricant. I highly recommend it!

Safer Lubricant Alternatives

March 29th, 2010

Safemama.com bills itself as a “one-stop safe beauty, health, and eco-gorgeous resource”, and according to author Statia, Aloe Cadabra definitely fits that bill!:

What a cute name.  Like magic lube!  Aloe Cadabra is a little different from the few others that I’ve found.  The ingredients are food grade, so if you would happen to ingest it (and I won’t ask how you would, because what you do behind closed doors is your business), it’s perfectly safe.

I have to admit, that when I saw that it was mainly aloe vera gel, I was concerned that it might dry out or get sticky during use, unlike oil based lubricants, but it held up pretty well.  On top of that, aloe, as most people know, has magical healing properties.   And as a girl, you know that your girly parts can get aggravated easily.  So this is a nice change.  Maybe this is where the magic comes in.

Natural Lubricant Perfect For Skin

March 17th, 2010

Kristin at OurOrdinaryLife.com likes Aloe Cadabra for being usable as a natural, biologically-sound skin lotion!

Aloe works in a number of ways. Mucopolysaccharides, one of the ingredients that are in aloe vera, create a thin protective covering. It’s the chemical makeup that does this, not some added synthetic chemical. It’s this natural chemical that helps to support a healthy migration of nutrition and waste on a cellular level. This helps to protect against infection; one of the reasons why aloe vera is so healing. Another chemical – choline – is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to soothe and heal skin by using the bodies own natural processes.

Organic Bedroom Products: Lubricant Review

March 15th, 2010

girl-in-bedCher over at Mama’s Money Savers reviews Aloe Cadabra, which she says was a hit in her bedroom!

Aloe Cadabra is no ordinary personal lubricant, it is a smooth smelling and organic product made with 95% organic Aloe! It is actually a natural food grade gel that soothes your most sensitive tissues and enhances intimate encounters.

So no more petroleum based lubricants or other crazy chemicals that companies throw in. It is time to take care of yourself (and your husband, no pun intended) and use something “all-natural” and safe.

I am packing for a long awaited vacation…a cruise with my honey. Check List; Sex toys, my favorite vibrator, feathers, bubbles, erotic books, sexy love making nightwear, call the cruise ship and find out if they have plenty of fruit (strawberries and chocolate), AND my favorite lube, Aloe Cadabra in my very favorite scent in the sexy purple bag…French Lavender.
