As I was saying

Summary: You recently found out that you’re pregnant and Henry is being all sorts of over-protective and annoying about it and won’t shut up about what you should or shouldn’t eat. So you find a creative way to shut him up...

Pairing: Henry Cavill x Reader (no description of body type or ethnicity thought it’s mention that Henry is taller)

Word count: 1.8k

Warnings: 18+, RPF, fluff to smut, early pregnancy, blow job, bodily fluids, slight FemDom/SubMale, My overuse of poetic sex metaphors, cottagecore!

*No permission is given for reposting my work, copying it, or parts from it.

A/N: This story was born out of a convo I had with my sweet @the-soot-sprite about the photo above. Many thanks to @agniavateira my solid rock who betas all my work and to @firefly-graphics for the dividers

Please comment and reblog if you enjoyed my story. I work hard on each one of them and your validation means the world to me. 🖤

As I was Saying

Henry’s velvety voice carried through the cottage like seductive vapours of honey liqueur. It wasn’t often that he'd sing a blissful tune so casually out of the blue—after earth-shattering sex perhaps, which indeed you had the night before. However, this morning, his chants were laced with a new flavour of sugary bliss.

Two little pink stripes. That's all it took for his eyes to shimmer the way precious cobalt is kissed by a moonlight glow.

Sneaking about in the mien of a curious little mouse, you trod after the pleasant tune of his voice, which was now accompanied by a soft rustle. Wander laved your face once you leaned against the kitchen door frame, peering at the prodigious man who stood in front of the open fridge.

Preoccupied, he appeared to be ransacking through the shelves with the song ‘Cheek to Cheek’ thrumming on his tongue.

“Heaven... I'm in heaven…”

Fingers clutching at the edge of the wall, you pressed into the chilled surface with a relaxed smirk, lingering on the irresistible view when your ease of mind faded with a blink of an eye — while methodically rummaging through the fridge, Henry threw fresh food straight into an open trash can.

“What are you doing?” you asked, your voice rising to a high-pitched yip.

Henry made a soft flex; the muscles of his back rippled in a tidal motion. Though acknowledging your presence, he proceeded to hover a finger over different products.

“Cleaning up the fridge," he answered absentmindedly.

With a soft shove, there went your French cheese.

“That’s brand new!” you protested and rushed toward him, alarmed.

Towering over the trash can, you considered diving in to salvage the precious bulk of cheese from the dreary pit. Henry glanced at you from the corner of his eyes, testing your resolve while his claw grabbed some papaya salad leftovers and pushed it over the edge of the shelf, joining the rest of the discarded meals.

“It is,” he nodded and closed the refrigerator door, carrying on to the high cabinets. With a slight wrinkle between his brows and a hand scratching the stubbles of his dimpled chin, he narrowed his eyes to scrutinise the items carefully. “I'm pregnant-proofing the kitchen. I called Hanna while you were asleep. She created a proper daily menu for you with the dos and don’ts: less sugar, more veggies and protein.”

It took you a moment to process his words, your eyes narrowing while asking, “Hanna? As in Hanna, your nutritionist?”

Henry nodded at your question, a faint crease lining his cheek. “That’s the one. Don't worry, princess, she specialises with pregnant women.”

Unwittingly, a somewhat inhuman growl sounded in your chest. You were only getting used to the idea of developing another person inside you, and here stood your husband, already seeing fit to dictate your diet. Slithering into the narrow space between the heavy man and the counter, you tilted your chin to meet his stare while your fists pressed into your hips assertively.

“Listen here, Cavill! You might have jizzed me one too many and succeeded in putting a baby in there, but this is still my body. I can take care of my own pregnancy diet.”

With an arm stretched above your head, Henry offered a charming display of pearly whites to pacify your strained nerves. His dimples nearly managed to beguile your senses when your eyes flared at the sight of what was held between his long fingers.

“No! Henry, no! Not the coffee!”

“Oh, I’m afraid so, my love. You shouldn’t have any caffeine at your current state.” Despite his argument, the tenderness of his gaze stroked upon your face like a warm ray of sunlight piercing through heavy clouds. Lazily it dropped to your belly, the cascading heat cradling your unborn child.

Words of protest left you for a sliver of a moment, too in awe of the dreamy grin on his face.

Thoughts of how beautiful you’d look rounded and full with his child illuminated him that you swore his skin developed a glow over the night. Didn’t they always say women are radiant when they are pregnant? Well, it seemed that in your case, it applied to your husband as well.

The charming haze of bliss almost swallowed you up; but you quickly slapped yourself back into reality, reaching a hand in an attempt to stop Henry from throwing away your delicacy. Though taller, Henry held his hand far out of reach, a hint of a smugness stretching his lips.

“A pregnant woman is allowed to have a little bit of caffeine!” You muttered and sent both hands in an attempt to retrieve the box while Henry teased you by throwing it from one hand to the other, further fueling your annoyance.

Vexed to the point of frustration, you stood still and sighed, “you know what else is bad for the baby?”

Henry paused his foolish games and tilted his head as he waited to hear your answer.

“His father at the morgue after I’ll kill him. Now stop that and hand it over! A pregnant woman can have a cup a day, according to Google.”

“Nope,” Henry clicked his tongue, his laughter replaced with a severe stare. “Love, I know they say it’s okay to have a teeny bit, but I’ve been doing some research while you were asleep, and it’s not recommended. Caffeine increases heart rate and blood pressure, which is not good for you nor for the baby. It also increases urination, which may cause dehydration.”

Clenching your jaw at the onslaught of information he bestowed, you watched his lips move while none of his words registered. Preoccupied with the rules of a “healthy” pregnancy, Henry was set on being the practical one, completely forgetting to enjoy the moment. And damn, it was the moment to celebrate. All you wanted right now was to stay in bed for a day, ride your handsome husband to hell and back and eat as much ice cream as possible.

“Everything you eat from now on goes to our baby,” Henry proceeded to lecture on a thing you were perfectly aware of.

Ire found you within seconds, embroiled with pregnancy hormones which made him further intolerable at the moment— intolerable

... and delicious.

Soaked with hunger, your eyes raked his sight: the thickness of his muscles was apparent beneath a plain black t-shirt and those good old grey sweats outlined the source of your current predicament. Your fingers twitched just from thinking about it, mimicking the sensation of squeezing its girth and eliciting those low groans that made your heart flutter.

But his chatter still interrupted your sultry thoughts. If only there was a way to get him to shut up, you mused. Then your eyes focused on the soft bulge that winked back at your hungry glare.

Unaware, Henry turned toward the table to grab a bulk of informative documents he printed earlier in order to educate you of your pregnancy, he licked his thumb and began to read through, “As I was saying….”

Hastily, you exploited his lack of attention and took a step forward, your fingers latching around the hem of his sweats. With one swift movement, you fell to your knees and tugged his trousers along.

Lost in his passionate speech, Henry was still muttering nonsense when your hand seized him; but as the lushness of your tongue bedded his soft cock without warning, all that could be heard in the kitchen was a husky gasp.

Feeling the warm silky flesh swell and harden within your mouth, you sent your eyes up to peer at him, admiring the sight. Nothing spoke of your power better than the wrinkle between his shut eyes and his mouth agape with all air draining from his lungs. There you were, lowered to your knees with a maw full of his cock and yet, he was the one who lost his ability to speak and had his legs quaking of need.

Unable to help yourself, you sent one palm to feel the tremor that ran through the muscles of his thighs while the other cradled his heavy sac.

“Uh……” he finally managed to utter, a groan of bemused bliss pushing itself between his parted lips. “What… what are you doing?”

You crooked an eyebrow in response and answered by dragging your mouth along the length of his shaft. Your pillowy lips ran across ridges and thrumming veins, your jaw loosening until you felt him deep in the back of your throat.

Locked in the cavernous cage of your maw, he tightened his gut and shuddered with pleasure. Though, the low unbridled groans that sputtered from his chest fueled your enticement just as so; memories of how the same thick girth that brimmed your mouth would split open your narrow canal made both your eyes and abandoned cunt tear of desperation.

It always beguiled you how much arousal could be found in bringing him to his rapture without touching yourself. The harder he throbbed on your velvety serpent, the more you soaked.

With fervent strokes, you feasted on the briny flavour of his cock; the tendons vibrated with bliss while your tongue twirled and pushed around them. You pulled, sucked, and pumped him in your warm mouth, milking the senses of a man infinitely stronger—a man who succeeded in conquering your womb yet now crumbled to nothing at the touch of your tongue.

“Fuck…. Babe… keep going,” Henry breathed out a plea. The documents held by his hand slipped between his fingers as he pressed his palm to the cabinet with a thud, and began to rock his hips back and forth to fuck back into your mouth. Like feathers, the white slips floated around you, landing onto the ground while you worked him to his ecstasy.

His other hand found your head, caressing lovingly and trying to take control: yet his strength waned and his head fell back with a moan. Faster, harder, you sucked your husband to the point of submission while hums of admiration laced around his rigid length. Your eyes beamed as you watched his resolve shatter. Your fingertips toyed with the coarse hair at the apex of his thighs, your thumb seeking the tendon at the base of his cock and pressing into it, urging him to spill his gift down your throat.

“I’m going to… I’m going to…. In your throat… fuck.”

With a guttural grunt, he thickened against your tongue; the overflow of salty-sweet cream glazed your mouth and then flowed down your flaring throat.

The room thrummed with the buzz of the refrigerator, Henry’s heavy exhales - these were the sounds of your triumph. Wiping your lips with the back of your hand, you cracked a smile and neatly pulled his trousers back on before you rose to stand straight.

Overwhelmed and drenched in sweat, your husband scrutinised you while you reached for the box of capsules and tilted your head.

“You were saying?”

What causes cellulite?

Another option for using apple cider vinegar is to mix some with some lavender oil. The best thing about this is that it will not burn your skin. The reason why this is better than rubbing the garlic is because of the garlic's sensitivity to burning. To use this method, just apply a thin layer of the mixture over the entire tag and let it soak overnight. For the best results, you should do this on a regular basis.

Why are my thighs so flabby?

Saggy skin may be caused by aging and significant or rapid weight loss. If you want to get rid of the loose thigh skin, you should include the exercises that focus on your thighs into your workout routine.

Fertility drugs are one of the most commonly used in infertility treatments. Fertility drugs can work very well when taken together with natural fertility products such as a demand treatment. The natural fertility product will help increase your chances of becoming pregnant and will also provide you with a healthier body during pregnancy.

If you want to have more than one child, you should try to get pregnant using a regular menstrual cycle. In other words, you should get your period every month or even several times a month. Your doctor may give you some advice on how to get to this point.

The last tip is to talk to your doctor about a femiwand treatment, if you want to increase your chances of conceiving. There are many different ways that your doctor can help you to increase your chances of conceiving. and this includes things like getting to ovulate on time and taking fertility drugs. If you have any questions, it's important that you talk to your doctor.

youtube

You can also look into removing skin tags by using some home remedies, which you can purchase over the counter or even at a drug store. If you do not want to try one of these methods, there are a number of surgical procedures available. and most of these can be done in a hospital setting.

youtube

Skin tags can be a nuisance that has been plaguing people for generations, but if you are looking to get them removed there are several methods that you can use to get the job done. All of the options discussed below are completely safe, easy to use, and effective.

My bariatric doctor sent me a ton of information, including this:

Weight Loss Shopping list: Having the proper food on hand and ready to go is very important in losing weight. Everybody has their own preferences/tastes so modify this list as you need but the following are foods that have been found to be helpful in following a calorie restricted diet. If you are a person that doesn't "like to eat my vegetables", I recommend making smoothies and throwing the veggies into the blender with some fruit and protein powder.

Fruits: Generally limit to 2-3 whole fruits a day. Do not buy Juice. We depend on the fiber and chewing to slow us down and get phytonutrients/antioxidants available in the skins of fruits for health benefits. Chewing also signals our stomach to send less hunger signals to our brains: Apples (1-2 daily), Bananas (no more than one full banana a day), Grapes (2 handfuls a day), Clementines/oranges (one daily), berries (blue/rasp/straw: 2 handfuls a day). Watermelon (cubed for easy access, small bowl).

Vegetables: Eating raw gets most nutrient and fiber benefits but cooked veggies are fine as well, using frozen for cooking or in smoothies is fine as well. The more chewing/crunchiness the better the hunger control. No limit to how many a day, but you should at least get 4 handfuls a day or more minimum. Wash and cut up your vegetables into easy to carry, on the go sizes that are easy to put in plastic bags/pyrex and carry to work/school/etc. Frozen veggies are just fine as well. Broccoli, Carrots (no more than 3 a day large carrots or 2 handfuls of baby carrots, as they are very sweet), celery, cucumbers, green peppers, green beans (canned or fresh/frozen), Lettuce(all types), Beets(for roasting, will likely turn urine and stool a bit purple), asparagus. Go crazy with the veggies, just wash well prior to eating.

Protein: Women need at least 60-100 grams of protein a day and men at least 80-130 grams a day, more is fine. Protein is our "brain food" and hunger suppressor and getting enough ensures maintenance of muscle mass during weight loss. Vegetarians should look to balance their protein intake to get all essential amino acids and discuss with dietician if help is needed (mix of beans/soy/etc). Protein powders or drinks count and can be a great way to control appetite during the day and easy to grab and go/carry to work/etc.Premier Protein, BiPro, TarasWhey are all brands with high quality whey protein. For whey sensitive people, rice protein is an option as well.

Canned tuna/sardines or anchovies. Fresh fish/salmon the day you plan to make it.Chicken breasts/thighs (skinless while losing weight), filet mignon steak (leaner but still tender) or marinade sirloin (wipe off before cooking). Eggs cooked in olive oil for breakfast is a good way to get protein and good fat in the a.m. (cook on low heat to prevent transformation of olive oil into less healthy fat).

Greek Yogurt with at least 20 grams of protein per serving and less than 11 grams of carbs/sugars.

String Cheese

Cottage Cheese: 2% or fat free per your preference.

Packaged Snacks Catch Up With the Keto Diet - CSPDailyNews.com

Photograph: Shutterstock

CHICAGO — You know a diet has reached the mainstream when it appears on Waffle House’s menu.

“I was in an Arkansas Waffle House on a business trip, and the term ‘keto’ appeared on menus to describe some food items,” says Vincent Kitirattragarn, CEO of Berkeley, Calif.-based Dang Foods, the maker of keto, plant-based and gluten-free Dang Bars.

Waffle House might not be a paragon of trendy, but it knows an opportunity when it sees one. Keto—short for ketogenic—has become king of the specialized diets, selected the most popular for 2019, according to more than 1,300 dietitians surveyed in the seventh annual What’s Trending in Nutrition survey from Today’s Dietitian magazine.

In the keto diet, dieters limit their calorie intake to a mix of approximately 70% fat, 20% protein and 5% each of simple carbohydrates and nonstarchy vegetables. This forces the body into a metabolic state known as ketosis, in which it reportedly burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.

Google searches for the word “keto” skyrocketed 300% in January, Kitirattragarn says, and snack makers such as Dang Foods are eager to convert web searches to transactions. The key is the proliferation of keto- friendly, portable products rolling out across multiple snack categories that makes it easy to induce trial. Dang Bar debuted last fall, exclusively on Amazon online, and today has gained distribution in 10,000 stores across grocery, mass and drug channels while taking “baby steps in the c-store channel,” says Kitirattragarn, who witnessed 40% year-over-year growth for the line dating back to September 2018.

New Snacking Profile

Asking the average consumer in 2017 about the keto diet likely would have resulted in a glazed-over expression. Kitirattragarn says that as recently as late 2018, he counted only four keto bars available in virtual aisles.

But rising healthcare costs and the popularity of making healthy choices, plus social media influences, are boosting keto’s profile. Rachel Krupa, a Southern California c-store retailer who operates The Goods Mart, is capitalizing on the trend. Such bars are a “gateway snack,” she says.

“I call them gateway snacks because they open a whole new world of healthy and flavorful snacks to core snack consumers,” she says. One variety she stocks is the Saigon Cinnamon Chocolate Dang Bar.

While some adopt a strict keto lifestyle, other consumers are just trying to eat right, says Krupa. “Most of our customers don’t ask for keto but seek clean, ‘free-from’ ingredients like nut butters, hard-boiled eggs and jerky,” says Krupa, who recently opened a second store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. “People tend to try some options, and it’s, ‘Oh, by the way, that’s keto.’ ”

Other keto-friendly snacks include cheese, avocados, olives, nuts, fatty cold cuts, cottage cheese and pork rinds.

Krupa says it boils down to locating snacks with high flavor, great taste and health appeal. Eric Richard, education coordinator for the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, Madison, Wis., agrees, pointing out that retailers can win by positioning products as “naturally fortified foods with protein as a core ingredient rather than a product that’s protein-added.”

“We see these kinds of diets as a manifestation of the changing landscape of what people seek in the foods they eat,” he says.

Consumption Drivers

Rising healthcare costs likely will continue to fuel interest in the keto diet, along with the paleo diet, which is based on foods that might have been eaten during the Paleolithic era: lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, says Sally Lyons Wyatt, executive vice president and practice leader for Chicago-based IRI.

“Disease states not prevalent a decade ago are proliferating, while healthcare costs are a problem for many,” Lyons Wyatt says. “People are seeking a holistic healthy lifestyle that incorporates sleep, exercise and diets that enhance one’s immune system, digestion and more.” She cited a medical group survey that found that 45 million U.S. residents activate a diet each year, be it commercial or self-subscribed.

IRI data indicates that snack dollar sales for keto in multioutlet units rose by double digits in 2018, with plant-based snack sales up 19% and vegan snacks growing by 16%.

A second driver of keto and other diets is social media. Melissa Rosen, co-owner of Locali, an independent c-store operator with one location in Venice, Calif., and another in Florida, vouches for that.

“People come to Locali looking for MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil, celery juice, paleo bread and keto bombs because they saw posts on Facebook or Instagram about the health benefits,” says Rosen, who expects growth of keto snacks at her stores to be about 15% to 20% this year. Locali offers products such as Ketomanna’s ketogenic chocolate fudge and Nick’s Sticks Free-Range Turkey Snack Sticks.

Rosen and Krupa have seen a growing number of customers try new keto or paleo snacks without much knowledge of the formulations. So what influence does keto diet marketing on snack packaging have?

“The average person is struggling with mastering the basics, let alone abiding by a more stringent diet.”

With the pipeline filling robustly with these snacks, Lyons Wyatt calls it a “chicken-egg” phenomenon. “I’d like to drill down to see if CPGs were motivated to act on new snack formulations like these due to pent-up demand or whether they rolled out snacks first and consumers jumped on board afterward,” she says.

Kitirattragarn was inspired to create Dang Bar after speaking with area tech professionals in Northern California. Dang had already succeeded with flagship Dang Coconut Chips and was looking to branch out.

“Dang Bar was a confluence of things: We listened to our fans who wanted a coconut snack with no sugar that delivered ‘healthy fat’ in a bar format,” he says. “I also heard a lot about keto [after] talking to Silicon Valley professionals who saw it as a way to optimize performance—it’s known to enhance mental acuity.”

Dang Bar allows consumers to engage in on-the-go consumption of keto ingredients rather than having to prepare a meal or, say, a fresh avocado—a keto staple but not very portable, says Kitirattragarn.

Larger brands are following suit. Recent launches include Unilever’s SlimFast Keto meal replacement shakes, bars and snacks; Borden’s whole milk mozzarella string cheese and cheese snack bars; and Mars’ Creamy Snickers Bars, formulated with freshly ground, creamy nut butters.

Last fall, Minong, Wis.-based Jack Link’s debuted its Cold Crafted Linkwich, a refrigerated meat snack that is infused with cheese, which adds 15 to 18 grams of protein, making it even more keto-friendly.

“Most people are just striving to make better dieting decisions” without being tied to one particular diet, says Collin Frantz, brand manager for Jack Link’s Cold Crafted line, which is represented in 15,000 c-stores. “The average person is struggling with mastering the basics, let alone abiding by a more stringent diet. We sought to leverage the power of portable protein with a product like this.”

Frantz says protein anchors most diets, giving Jack Link’s an additional lever to pull. “Cold Crafted expands on the way Lunchables appealed to moms for their kids years ago. It can be communicated to consumers as a refrigerated snack pack of the Lunchables mindset, merging snack and protein,” he says.

Jack Link’s is not marketing its Cold Crafted products as keto-friendly snacks, because its protein value stands on its own, according to the company.

“We’ve not addressed this diet directly, but our goal is to make it easy for consumers to choose foods that correspond to their respective diets—and there are so many out there,” says Frantz.

Will Keto Sustain?

Low-carb diets such as South Beach and Atkins are still hanging around, but they’re not the rock stars they once were. Can keto sustain its momentum?

In consumer research, Dang found that 40% of people are sustained keto devotees, while another 40% consider themselves “lazy keto” consumers. “They don’t count every single carb and they go on and off diets,” says Kitirattragarn. “It’s a very hard diet to engage because you’re forced to count calories, macros, and people don’t want to do that. If they prepare keto entrees, that’s more work.”

That’s where packaged snacks have an opportunity: making keto easy for consumers.

Lyons Wyatt says retailers can build healthy-eating endcaps or create digital message boards touting healthy food departments, with keto integrated into it. “Some larger retailers are putting dietitians and nutritionists on-site to guide customers on eating goals,” she says. “It’s an expense, but when you measure the cost and the long-term payoff, it’s a strategy that can pay for itself.” (See sidebar, below.)

Specialized diet or not, people are seeking products with clean, transparent values, as many scrutinize ingredient lists. “Watching people shop for jerky, they grab the bag and squeeze it to make sure the meat is tender and there are not hard pieces,” says Frantz of Jack Link’s.

Krupa of The Goods Mart says some customers are obsessed with a ketogenic diet, while others are not as indoctrinated. In many ways, the diet seeks them out rather than the other way around—a back door way of engaging, with retailers facilitating.

“People tend to go on their own eating adventures to find out what works for them,” she says.

Guiding Consumers to Informed Choices

To introduce the uninitiated to snacks with paleo-, vegan- and ketofriendly ingredients—and encourage trial—The Goods Mart stores in Silver Lake, Calif., and New York have introduced “Discovery Zone” endcaps. Featuring brands such as Epic Provisions and Dang Bars, The Goods Mart Discovery Zones bring in new users to a brand, a category or even a diet, says owner Rachel Krupa.

Eric Richard, education coordinator for the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, Madison, Wis., says c-stores can connect with consumers who might be in specialized diet mode via messaging and POS techniques. “C-stores are smaller formats, so I would use that to their advantage, and there can never be too much messaging as it relates to traditional signage and digital POP displays,” he says. “Overall, people on a keto diet already have a sense of what they want, so make it easy for them to find the products with those high-protein and higher ‘good fat’ attributes.”

In fact, the fat-centric profile that underpins keto brings a concern about recruiting those who have developed a stigma about fatty foods—even the good fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

Some believe that the right communication and education can change minds. “Fat is no longer a bad word as more consumers are looking for products with real ingredients, and ‘good’ fat is part of that mission,” Richard says.

For example, bread suffered a stigma for years with some consumers, thanks to low-carb diets. “But you can convert that mindset by stressing the breads that are made with natural, simple ingredients with no preservatives or colors,” says Richard. “And to stress that it’s OK to have real sugar in a diet. Focus on the fat payoff via marketing. You are seeing more and more U.S. consumers seeking natural fats.”

10 ways to keep your butt looking great10 ways to keep your butt looking great

Keeping yourself looking good has never been as important as it is now, especially in the male community. But there's…

Jarmo Siim

May 9, 2018

1. Use a face mask on it

It’s something we had not heard about for a while but now swear by it. We got the tip from the Queen of Pop, Madonna.

“It’s kind of a no-brainer,” Madonna says of butt masks. “You can take any face mask and try it on your behind. Skin is skin. I think people would want the skin on their butt to be smooth, glowing, and hydrated. I mean, I know I do. There are certain special people that get to see our butt and you want it to look its finest.”

And *she* sure knows what she’s talking about. She uses clay masks on it but we hear also peat as well as other moisturising face masks do the trick very well. Just put it on, lie on your belly, wait for the specified amount of time and voila!

Take her hint and try it out as soon as possible!

2. Scrub away

Want your bottom to feel as smooth as possible? One of the best ways is to regularly use a body scrub. It’ll remove these dead skin cells right off and usually also moisturise the skin. We’ve found that one of the best options is to get a coffee body scrub as it is full of moisturising ingredients, plus the smell is incredible! Okay, your bathroom might look like a war zone after it but it’s totally worth it. (PS! Gay Packs seem to feature a few of them quite often, we hear).

3. Shave it!

Fancy to have it even more perfectly smooth? Then the best way is to wax it or shave it. We hear that waxing is the best option as it gives the smoothest of results but using a body groomer can be easier and less painful. Some also like just trimming the hair there but it’s up to you. While it might be tricky, it’s doable and your bottom will feel much smoother after it. Just don’t forget to do it regularly, else it’ll look and feel uncomfortable.

4. Get better underwear

Have issues with sweating or feeling uncomfortable. Of course you do! Especially if you sit most of the day. The best cure there is to get breathable underwear – either with natural fibres such as bamboo or cotton – or choose boxers or jockstraps as your everyday underwear. If it’s too much then usually the better brands take at least the fabric part into account and feature most of the styles. Or just get a monthly delivery.

5. Shower immediately after working out

While it might sound like something everyone does, can you say you’ve never just hung out after a workout? While it might feel comfortable that moment (it’s why you do it, right?), hurry under the shower as soon as possible, it’ll feel much better in the long term. The reason is simple – not showering immediately will give the bacteria their ideal home. Unfortunately for them and you, you might not have the same vision what is best for this body. So, wash away!

If you’re really annoyed by sweating then one way is to spritz any antiperspirant spray on your cheeks for invisible sweat relief. Avoid powders, though as they can cause uncomfortable clumping.

6. Put some cream on it

Don’t forget to put some lotion on it regularly, especially after showering. A regular body lotion will do but you can try face cream too as the skin on your bottom is actually quite sensitive. Put a liberal amount of it there, let it dry and then you can put your clothes on. Else your underwear will be all greasy.

7. Keep yourself hydrated

Keeping yourself hydrated also has an affect in this area. Namely, it’ll smooth your skin even more and isn’t that about half of the job done? So drink enough. But if you’re in an air-conditioned or heated environment, don’t forget to use a humidifier. It’s quite often underestimated but did you know a lot of homes and offices have their air humidity at dangerous levels of under 20%? So feed your skin both inside and out – drink and humidify the air.

8. Eat well!

If you’re trying to shape it then there are certain kinds of food that almost invariably add volume to your butt – nuts, peanut butter, brown rice, cottage cheese, or paneer and most meats and proteins.

Fuel up on these foods if you’ve always wanted a fuller, rounder bottom. On the other hand, if you’ve been dealing with big-butt problems since forever, then you know what to cut down on.

9. Exercise!

One way to keep your bottom looking better and better is to actually.. exercise! We know, we know, it’s a bit annoying but is totally worth the effort. There are great ways but we hear Fitness Magazine has the top 10 exercises picked out for you and Jen Reviews has a list of 30 of the best ones! Or if you don’t have time for that, you can also do some power-walking – it helps quite a lot as well.

10. Contour it!

If all that is not enough – you can also contour it with some self-tanning lotion. No, really. First apply an all-over base coat to hide any imperfections. Then go back and give the W-shaped crevice under your bum an extra coat. This will give the illusion of a rounder, perkier derriere. Yes, it’s called butt contouring

With no cameras allowed in public places and a slightly inaccessible website… Soho Farmhouse remains a mystery to many people. In fact my video inside Soho Farmhouse is one of my most viewed – proof to me that people are interested to know more. I’ve actually written about staying at Soho Farmhouse three times before and I’ve stayed five times at the English country resort-cum-private members club. To take a fresh perspective, I thought I’d tell you what it’s like staying in the biggest possible accommodation offered at Farmhouse – the three bed room cabin. If you want to know more about staying at the resort in general, refer to this post about our first stay or this one about the top ten things to do at Soho Farmhouse. Let’s start from the beginning. I visited Soho Farmhouse last year with my parents, now in all honesty it’s not 100% their cup of tea as my mum prefers modern hotels and Soho Farmhouse takes the ‘farm’ theme to the extreme and the cabins are very rustic. Honestly, I love it there but I will say I know it’s not for everyone. My parents also felt like they were the oldest people there as the average age of guests is probably 25 – 45 so being in their 60s they felt a little random. However, my mum decided that they wanted to go again because there were many things that they did like, eg the size of the cabins, the proximity to their Buckinghamshire home, food that is tasty and simple and overall good value for money. A question I always get asked is how have I always been able to book a room. I’m a member of Soho House and there are rooms reserved for members only, I’ve tried to book for friends and family but they only allow non-members during the week. During my recent stay we were told that this was set to change to members only though friends and family can stay with a member in the group.

Before now, I’ve always stayed at the weekend and I secured bookings only by doing so around six months in advance. Rates vary as to whether you’re a member or non-member or whether you have booked a friends and family rate. To give you some example of the difference, a studio cabin (the entry level cabin) is £295 for a member and £355 for friends and family. We paid £805 per night for the three bedroom cabin – I know that’s a lot but when you think it can fit six people in and they’d being paying £135 each, it’s really not that bad considering the size of the room that you get. On this occasion we booked mid-week as my parents are retired and my sister and I have flexible schedules. I booked our October stay in July which is still quite far in advance even for a mid-week stay. My parents drove to Soho Farmhouse but as I don’t have a car (Mr S usually drives but he didn’t come this time) I got the train to Charlbury and Soho Farmhouse arranged a taxi for me. My sister came the next day by train too. When you arrive at Soho Farmhouse there’s a gate house where they’ll take your name and booking details. Members of Soho House members can also come for the day and sign in guests but space at the restaurants is subject to availability and guests can’t use the pool etc. Once you’ve checked in, a repurposed milk float with drive you to the cabin. With three bedrooms, our cabin was of course huge! I mentioned it’s the biggest cabin available, but there is also the farm cottage which sleeps eight, it’s not included in the cabin category and two of the rooms are bunk rooms rather than full size bedrooms. Every guest is provided with a bike to get around the farm (though we never used ours!) and you’re asked your shoe size so that they can give you wellie boots. Are you ready to go inside? So the first thing to see is a porch type area where you can hang up you coat and leave you shoes. There’s also a picnic basket and blanket, books and a few bits and pieces should you want to clean the room. Under that curtain is a full size washing machine and tumble dryer – not something you see often in a luxury fully catered hotel. From the porch you enter into a cosy living area with a huge comfy sofa and two arm chairs. There was only four of us staying but it’s worth noting that though this is a six person cabin, there’s not enough space for everyone to sit in the living room on sofas. There’s a big screen TV, a fire place, books to read, and a double balcony. The cupboards and drawers are packed full of drinks and snacks and games – snacks aren’t included in the price of the room but there is a fresh loaf of bread and cheese on arrival plus a pint of milk delivered every day. There’s also a dining table in the room with six chairs but for some reason I didn’t take a photo of it. One reason my mum likes coming to Soho Farmhouse is that the cabins have full kitchens – not that she wants to cook but she just likes having it there! The kitchen has everything including the kitchen sink so there’s an aga and hob, dish washer, toasters, kettle, Nespresso machine and in the cupboards and drawers you’ll find glassware, cutlery and crockery. There’s a cute farm shop at the house so you can pop there and pick up some food if you do fancy preparing it yourself. If you don’t fancy going to breakfast, there’s also granola in the room which you can have with your daily milk. There’s also a float which prepares breakfast to order right outside your room! There’s a huge American-style fridge, stocked to accommodate six people, aka full of wine and champagne… there’s even pre-made cocktails should that take you fancy. And then there’s some cute retro touches in keeping with the style of the house such as a Robert radio, record player and dial phone. One thing I will say is that I don’t think the living area is as the equivalent in size to the one bed room cabin, which is odd as one is for six people and the other only for two. Here’s a picture so you can see what I mean. Downstairs there are two bedrooms which are pretty much mirror images of each other so I’ll just show one. They’re very spacious and the bed and pillows are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever had – on this occasion it was only me in the bed but there was space for five. There’s a large screen TV and in the downstairs bedrooms, the bath is in the room and there are small balconies that over look the lake. Every bedroom has a full size bathroom with double sinks and an absolutely huge shower… one thing I love about staying here is you don’t really need to bring that much with you so it’s perfect if you’re coming straight from working in London. There are loads of amenities included, more than I usually see in a hotel such as facial cleanser and moisturiser, razor, mouth wash, tooth-brush and tooth paste. They have all the usual things you’d expect in a five-star hotel such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel but they come in full size bottles in all different fragrances. All products are Cowshed, the Soho House-owned spa brand and the fragrances have quirky names such as Grumpy Cow, Knackered Cow and Lazy Cow so you can pick depending on you mood. They also provide the snuggliest of robes, slippers and flip flops too. You leave your styling tools at home because as well as the usual hair dryer, there are straightening irons in the room. There’s also plenty of chargers, converters and USB cables should you need those. My room was located up the stairs and was a slightly different configuration to the other rooms. The room itself is slightly smaller but it had a longer balcony with a beautiful view of the river. As I mentioned, this very rustic style with the unvarnished wood and retro details isn’t for everyone but I really love it. The bathroom had the double sinks, huge shower and all the other amenities that there were downstairs but the bath was in the bathroom rather than the bedroom. We found, perhaps because of the location of the room, there were a lot of flies and it was even worse in my upstairs room. They sprayed the flies but there just ended up being lot of dead ones around which house keeping didn’t clean up, they were very apologetic on check out though and ended up comping one of our meals as an apology. We rarely go away as a family especially without Mr S so it was really lovely to have this getaway and all be able to stay under one roof but with the privacy of individual bedrooms and bathrooms. I do want to tell you a little about what goes on behind the ‘gram as we do know that life isn’t always Insta-perfect. The day before we were set to stay at Soho Farmhouse my dad had an accident at a round about and fell off his bike. You can read more about it on his blog. Anyway, the paramedics signed him off and we thought he was ok but he was in a lot of pain during our two day stay and ended up skipping dinner and breakfast. A big bruise came up on his back but he was complaining of pains in his chest which were growing worse. We decided to leave earlier than planned and take him to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. It turned out he had three broken ribs as well as that nasty bruise and there were further complications as he’s on blood thinning medication. We ended up in A & E for ten hours and he had to stay over night for observation. I’m happy to say though that he’s well on the way to recovery, though there’s not much you can do for broken ribs, he’s on pain medication and his blood stabilised over night. We stayed in the three bedroom cabin a few weeks ago and last week Mr S and I returned to stay in a one bedroom for my birthday. We left early on Sunday to go to another hotel to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday! We had a very special lunch at The Grove Hotel in Watford (another family favourite) with about 50 friends and relatives. With about four weeks passing, his ribs were feeling much better and he had a great time especially spending time with his grandchildren, Jackson and Charlie.

There’s nowhere quite like Soho Farmhouse, in my opinion and staying in the three bedroom cabin was a great experience. I loved spending the time with my family and I’m sure we will all be going back again when my dad is 100% better.

4 Easy Ways to Improve Your Dog’s Nutrition

By Becky Pesicka, CPDT-KA, CNWI

If you follow my social media pages, you likely know that my dogs eat a raw diet. I continue to post about their diet because I get so many questions and think diet is an extremely important piece of each dog’s overall welfare. (And before you think it, no, I don’t feed raw because I’m super duper rich! It’s actually not that much more expensive per bag for quality kibble, and I spend way less on vet bills for allergies, anal gland issues, digestive problems, etc.)

There are generally two very segregated camps on the topic of raw, and whether or not you think feeding a raw diet is for you, here’s the thing – I really only want you guys to provide a better quality diet for your dogs.

Whether that is raw, a home cooked diet, or a high-quality, meat-based kibble, I just recommend you find what works best for your dog, and this article is intended to give you a few simple ways to improve your dog’s diet.

I work with a lot of behavior cases, anxiety and aggression. BUT almost ALL dogs I see, even those “normal” ones that aren’t behavior cases, could benefit from an improved diet somewhere.

If you’re feeding your dog kibble, there are a couple high-quality brands that I like and recommend. If you use another that you like, that’s ok, but these are just two that I’ve had success with: Acana and Orijen. (Before everyone freaks out, I’m not saying there aren’t other good ones, or that these work for all dogs, but I find they are great options for most dogs).

I just want all dogs on this planet to be off of crappy kibble such as Science Diet, Hills, Beneful, Purina, Pedigree, Cesars, Ole’ Roy, and basically any cheap brand you can buy at Walmart, your local grocery store, or Petco or Petsmart.

Canines are scavengers and have evolved to live with humans based on eating our scraps and leftovers (I can assure you, they did not evolve eating kibble!). Variety is extremely important, and ordering the same exact bag of dog food each month is not healthy over time, and is one main cause for developing allergies in adult dogs.

I just want to be clear on one point here: I don’t feed raw because I think my dogs are wolves and therefore I’m feeding them the same diet a wolf would eat. Domestic dogs are SO far from wolves, it’s the same as saying I like bananas because I evolved from an ape, which is just silly!

I just think that a varied, fresh food diet is best for all mammals, including dogs and people.

Add these 4 Foods to Improve your Dog’s Diet.

Sardines (wild caught and packed in water)

By now you’ve probably heard about Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids as a needed and important part of the diet. Omega-6 is readily available in a variety of foods, such as chicken and pork, and is generally not needed as a supplement.

However, dogs do need Omega-3 added to the diet, BUT this must be from an animal-based source, NOT a plant-based source, such as Coconut oil, which dogs can’t process (I’m not going to get into the science of why, but please trust me and/or do your own research).

Sardines are a relatively cheap and excellent source for adding Omega-3 fatty acids to the diet. Fatty acids support canine health a number of ways, including acting as a natural anti-inflammatory, helping skin conditions, improving arthritis, and improving intestinal health.

Give them whole or break in half, depending on your dog’s preference. The cans I buy have 4 sardines inside, so I split the can between both my dogs and pour the juice onto their food, then give the smaller dog 1 sardine and the larger dog 3.

Liver

Liver of all kinds can be found fairly readily at the grocery store or your local butcher, but chicken or beef liver are the most common I find in stores.

Liver adds additional protein to your dog’s diet, as well as a host of vitamins, including Iron, B vitamins, and Vitamin A.

Add a piece of liver onto your dog’s daily meal, or every other day, as desired.

Note that too much liver at one time can act as a diuretic so if you’re feeding liver and notice your dog’s stool becoming soft, decrease the amount you’re incorporating.

Fortified dairy products such as cottage cheese or plain yogurt

Among other benefits, cottage cheese or a high-quality yogurt add digestive enzymes and probiotics.

This is important for dogs on a kibble-based diet because so many kibble ingredients, particularly the carbohydrates, are hard to digest or unable to be digested. Incidentally, this is one reason why kibble poops are enormous and super smelly (by contrast raw poops are smaller and not very smelly because there is way less wasted by the body).

Yogurt and Cottage cheese can also add calcium and other minerals.

Eggs

Yes raw, yes it’s ok, yes just crack an egg on top of your dog’s bowl. Yes maybe salmonella, but if you’re concerned about that, I bet ya didn’t know that there is salmonella in kibble!

Some dogs will eat the shell too, but I’ve found that to be far less common, so I typically toss the shell.

Eggs such an incredible protein source, in addition to providing a number of vitamins and minerals, including Iron, Vitamin D3, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and B vitamins.

All these vitamins help support the dog’s health in a variety of ways and are all essential to good health and longevity. Chicken eggs are obviously the most common and easily accessible, but duck eggs are a great option too, if you have access to that.

Feeding Schedule

These can be added all in one meal, daily, or weekly. If you feel better, you can set a feeding schedule, such as 1 raw egg for breakfast every morning or MWF, cottage cheese for dinner, etc.

Personally I rotate all these things, and a few others, into my feeding routine on a daily basis, and really think it has helped my dogs in more ways than I can count.

Dairy: Health food or health risk? http://bit.ly/2HvLxL7

When I was a growing teenager, I drank as much milk as possible (often straight from the carton while standing in front of the open fridge, much to my mother’s chagrin). I’d seen the TV ads — milk and other dairy foods were the express ticket to stronger bones and bigger muscles.

But today dairy’s nutritional reputation is as clear as, well, a glass of milk. Dairy is either good or bad for you depending on the latest diet trend or recent study. So what is the truth — is dairy healthy, or a health risk? “Dairy isn’t necessary in the diet for optimal health, but for many people, it is the easiest way to get the calcium, vitamin D, and protein they need to keep their heart, muscles, and bones healthy and functioning properly,” says Vasanti Malik, nutrition research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dairy products as a source of calcium and protein

Dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese, are good sources of calcium, which helps maintain bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. Adults up to age 50 need 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day. Women older than 50 and men older than 70 need 1,200 mg. (For comparison, a cup of milk has 250 mg to 350 mg of calcium, depending on the brand and whether it’s whole, low-fat, or nonfat. A typical serving of yogurt has about 187 mg of calcium.) Milk is also fortified with vitamin D, which bones need to maintain bone mass.

Older adults also need protein to protect against sarcopenia, the natural age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, and dairy can be a decent source. The recommended amount for older adults is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. A 180-pound man would need about 65 grams of protein per day, and a 140-pound woman would need about 50 grams.

Still, when it comes to the direct health impact of dairy, the existing science is mixed. Some research warns against consuming too much dairy, while other studies show some benefits from regular dairy consumption.

Is one form of dairy better than another?

The American Heart Association still recommends adults stick to fat-free or low-fat dairy products. But new research suggests full-fat dairy might not be much of a threat to heart health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology looked at 20 studies involving almost 25,000 people, and found no association between the consumption of most dairy products and cardiovascular disease. The exception was milk, but the results showed that only very high milk consumption — an average of almost a liter a day — was linked with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Some science has even suggested that the right kind of dairy may prevent heart disease. A study involving 2,000 men published by the British Journal of Nutrition found that those who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less of these products. This supports earlier studies that showed that fermented dairy products have more healthful effects on blood lipid profiles and the risk of heart disease than other dairy products.

Another proposed benefit, however, has not panned out. “Despite the push by the US dairy industry to promote dairy products, especially milk, as a weight-loss tool, research hasn’t supported that except when also restricting calories,” says Malik.

The bottom line

When it comes to overall health benefits, it seems that dairy is neither a hero nor a villain. Adding some dairy to your daily diet — a splash of milk in your coffee or a cup poured over your breakfast cereal, or a slice of cheese on a sandwich — can help you get some of the vital nutrients you need. “But keep in mind that eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of green leafy vegetables and nuts can better help you get the calcium and protein you need rather than relying too much on dairy,” says Malik.

Malik still prefers most people stick with low-fat dairy, as this helps reduce your intake of saturated fat but still offers good amounts of nutrients. Alternatively, you can choose almond and soy milk substitutes — but be aware that they have lower amounts of protein than regular milk. For a single go-to dairy source, Malik recommends plain Greek yogurt. (Avoid flavored versions, which are high in sugar). “It has more protein than regular yogurt and contains probiotics that help with gut health. And it’s quite versatile, as you can eat it alone or add it to other dishes like smoothies and use it as a substitute for cream in recipes.”
