Girl On Top

When it comes to sex positions, we'll take them all. But our go-to is the clitoris-pleasing cowgirl. When you're on top, facing him, you control the angle and depth of penetration, and you're free to grind your hips whichever way works best at any given moment. Bonus: Because you're more likely to move back and forth than up and down (which stimulates his penis more intensely), your partner will last longer. Here's how to rock this all-time best position.

1. He lies on his back, enjoying the view of your gorgeous bod and engaging in romantic eye contact.

2. Rock or slide your hips back and forth to drum up some delicious clitoral friction.

3. Tilt your pelvis forward to maximize contact between your clitoris and his abdomen.

10 Ways to Build Your Sexual Confidence

Find the Right Lingerie … for You

Who cares what Gisele Bundchen is wearing? The key to sexy lingerie is finding something that you feel sexy in. So while a thong might work for one woman, perhaps you feel cuter in a pair of boy shorts (especially if you’re a little insecure about your rear view). A leopard print push-up bra might work for Kim Kardashian, but if you’re a little self-conscious, a more subtle lacy number can be just as

10 Things Men Wish Women Knew About Sex

Freud called female sexuality “the dark continent”; if that’s true, male sexuality could qualify as the dark planet. But when it comes to sex, guys are simple, right? Not true. The bedroom is one of the great stages of male performance, and as such, what you see and hear is typically the role, not the reality. It’s no wonder, in trying to please the actor, a woman loses sight of a guy’s true identity. Here are 10 “unmasking” facts you may want to know:

1. We Respond to Praise
It’s believed that men are so consumed by our libido that we have no self-consciousness surrounding sex. But men are no different from women when it comes to compliments as catalysts for sexual confidence. This praise can be delivered before reaching the bedroom (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look), and after (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look naked). Along those lines, men worry about the size of their guts (and other measurable organs), their hair (or lack thereof) and other attributes. Try to be extra affirming about those sensitivities.

How to Hire the Right Babysitter for Your Family

Choosing a babysitter is not easy. If you are one of the lucky ones, you might have family or a close network of friends close by to help care for your children when you need to have some time away. But even if you do have a helpful community, there will still be times in your parenting life when you need to hire a sitter.
First, consider the time of day or night that you need your sitter and

Personal Lubes for Hotter Sex

Call it the Goldilocks rule of great sex: When it comes to lubrication, too much or too little can cause your sack session to flop. But when there's just the right amount, it boosts below-the-belt sensations. "Lubrication is your body's way of telling you that you're turned on," says Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine. "You can't have comfortable or successful sex without it."

Every woman lubricates differently—there's no "normal" amount of wetness—and most women should be able to tell when they're good

4 Easy Hair Cheats for When You're in a Rush

Are you always in a rush? I am, especially when it comes to my hair and makeup. Luckily, I've come up with four easy hair cheats to get me out the door in a flash without looking like a disheveled mess.
1. Bobby Pin TwistsGrowing out your bangs? Limp, lifeless hair hanging in your face? Friends, let me introduce you to bobby pin twists. If your hair looks like a stringy, unfinished mess, just run a boar bristle brush through it to detangle first. Once smooth, grab a 1- to 1.5-inch lock of hair at the temple, twist it between your fingers, and then secure it with a bobby pin or two behind your ear or the crown of your head. You can

How to Pluck and Shape Your Eyebrows

In junior high school, I all but plucked my eyebrows into thin barely there lines. I'd like to think it was all the rage in 1993, but the truth is, not a single one of us knew what we were doing.
Sadly, by the time I recognized the severity of my barely there brows, the damage had been done. Try as I have over the years, I was never able to grow them back. For the last 10 years, I’ve worn thick, blunt bangs that I trim to eyebrow length every two weeks, but occasionally (especially in the summer) wear my

How to Reinvent Fashion Classics

Classic items are timeless and ageless — think simple black blazers, sheath dresses, white button-down shirts, bootcut jeans, tailored trousers, riding boots, pencil skirts, denim jackets, pointy toed pumps, Audrey Hepburn inspired dresses and trench coats.

Here’s the secret: A classic item can be the key element to a totally trendy ensemble. As with most things fashion and style, it’s not nearly as much about the item itself as it is about how you style it. Combine it with unexpected pieces, or match it with interesting accessories and footwear. You can even reinvent a classic item by dramatically changing your own hairstyle or choice of eyewear. After all, your hair and specs are your most important accessories!
Let’s take a few classics out of their comfort zones:

Sheath DressTone down the formal integrity by adding an arty layering piece or men’s necktie. Take a plain

 Rompers

Mini Skirts

How to Moisturize Your Body

Skin is the body’s largest organ: It is a living, breathing thing that actually needs TLC. And what it wants most — besides protection in the form of sunscreen — is a long drink of moisture.

Dry skin is a difficult, annoying and sometimes unsightly problem to have. With a little know-how and some preventative care, though, you can make sure your skin is getting all the protection and love it needs to be at its best.

12 Kinds Of Sex Every Woman Needs To Have Before She Settles Down

We're sick of all these so-called relationship experts telling ladies the way to snag a man is to keep it in your pants, er, skirt. Listen, you prisses, not only are we way too old to be  virgins, but we sure as hell are glad we're not!

You don't need us to tell you that accessories can take an outfit from boring and basic to a look that will get you spotted on a Tastemaker post in Sense of Style. Once you have these 10 classic accessories in your closet, your outfit will go from drab to fab in seconds.


1. Sunglasses

Forget a smile, you're never fully dressed without a killer pair of shades. Bigger is usually better, but not mandatory if they overwhelm your face shape. Blondes and redheads look hot in tortoise shell while brunettes look better in black.

The wrong bra can add pounds, make you look lumpy, and leave you sore and itchy at the end of the day.

The right bra, on the other hand, can make you can look like a million bucks no matter what you're wearing – a T-shirt, button down shirt, or the infamous little black dress.

Lingerie and department stores can be bewildering places, overflowing with hundreds of styles and colors and teeming with salespeople hoping to upsell you into more bras than you need or fancier brands than you can afford.
