Simple and Easy Steps to Make Chocolate Vodka Infused Strawberries

Chocolate Vodka Infused Strawberries

“Do Not Arouse or Awaken Love until it so Desires”

One of the sweetest things about Valentine’s day is our desire to indulge in some of nature’s greatest gifts: Chocolate, Strawberries and Cream.

Strawberry dripping cream off spoon_embracedesiresAh, you’ve seen them in store windows, and you’ve drooled over the shiny chocolate that envelops the juicy, succulent berry.  Perhaps you thought about making your own version.  This is where we come in.  Instead of trying to make the perfect blend of oil and chocolate to cover your strawberry, savor the flavor with each bite of the chocolate INSIDE of the fruit.  This is a simple five step process to make and enjoy chocolate soaked strawberries.

You will need:

  • Strawberries
  • Fork
  • Large clean jar with lid
  • Favorite chocolate infused vodka
  • Cream (either whipped or fresh)
  1. Grab a carton of strawberries and wash.  You will need enough to taste along the way.  Strawberries are a delicate fruit, so be careful when washing them.
  2. Gently Poke a few holes in the strawberries to allow the vodka to soak in quicker (yummy).
  3. Place the strawberries in the large clean jar and pour as much of the chocolate infused vodka over the strawberries to cover them.  Place lid on jar.
  4. Refrigerate anywhere from 1 – 24 hours (the longer they soak, the stronger the taste – but sample a berry after an hour or so).
  5. When you are ready to surprise your partner (or indulge in your own decadent treat), remove from refrigerator, drain the strawberries over a coffee liner or strainer and pat dry.

Enjoy with fresh or whipped cream.

Just a Quick Note About Us

What inspires you, inspires Us.

The inspiration for Embracedesires started with white sheets covered in rose petals… candle flames dancing eagerly against the shadows. The vision continued with a bottle of massage oil and strong hands pressed against waiting flesh… flesh held taught by tantalizing nipple clamps and tongue tingling nip balm. The moment continued with a vibrating probe eagerly reaching and teasing wet mounds. A massaging couples ring adding to the penetrating pulse of the moment.

Since 2003 we’ve specialized in intimate products and sensual accessories that are designed to indulge your most passionate moments. We believe the visual imagery of any product is just as important as the performance. So instead of gaudy, we sought out gorgeous. We looked for luscious and sensuous.

Products that not only bring you to the brink of eyes rolled back, but that look delightful… taste delicious… and seat you first-class within your favorite fantasies. Over the years, the product lines we carry have always reflected these values.

We embrace free spirits, be you male or female, who seek sumptuous choices in their sex product collection. Those midnight riders who know that one way to man’s heart is sliding seductively down a stripper pole. Those seeking domineering delights filled with arms handcuffed to the headboard… feet spread eagle and bondage taped… and a Please Sir flogger stinging to sweet submission.

If this is you, the door is open. Step inside and be delighted…

Flirting 101 – Three Simple Techniques to Find Love by Flirting

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and cupid appears to be shooting people in the Finding love on Valentine's Dayass everywhere you turn.  Now is the time when most people really go on the hunt to find love and turn up their flirting skills.  If you are unsure if you have what it takes in your flirting game, do not despair!  We will show you three simple techniques to find the love of your life just by flirting!

For those of us who are not yet in a relationship but yearn to have someone to gaze lovingly into our eyes, we have to do some work, honey!  Now is the time to put our big girl panties on and get ready to turn the love mojo way up!

Find Mr RIGHTYou are tired of settling for just anyone. You want to get THE RIGHT ONE, right.  It’s time to put that work in!  You have to FLIRT.  There is no way around it.  Who wants a shy, demure woman out in public?  Sure be a freak in the bed, but by all means, be a lady in the streets!  Class is in session and you are about to learn the basics of flirting to find love.

Flirting can be subtle, or it can be blatant; it all depends on the situation.  And to perfect your technique, there’s nothing like practice, practice, and more practice.  Just have fun with it.  Make this your mindset and go about your day taking advantage of every opportunity.  Don’t get all hung up on the idea that you’ll look foolish,

Love is a fool’s game and you got to get in the game!

Eye Contact –  Have you ever noticed that when you look at someone long enough, even if they’re facing away from you, they’ll turn and look at you within a minute or so?  Well it’s because you’ve sent out your vibe, they feel your stare.  So pick your target, and gaze away until they turn around.  And when they do you’ve got to flash your pearly whites and give a huge smile, looking them straight in the eye.  What you do next is up to you.  If you’re the guy, and they’re alone and smiling back, it’s time to make your move.  But if you’re the gal and he’s alone and smiling back, then let him approach you.  If he doesn’t then move on, he’s not in the game.

FlirtingBody Language

We have all been told time and time again when we were younger, “Sit up Straight” or “Pay Attention when I am talking to you”.  That same reasoning also holds true when you are flirting.  If you are looking to make a love connection, it is important to have posture that conveys the message “hey, I like you” and “I am interested in what you are saying”.  If a possible mate approaches you, whether you are standing or sitting, make sure that your arms are not folded across your chest.  That is a sure sign that says “back off – I am sooo not interested”.  Instead of having your arms at your sides like a soldier, relax.  If they extend their hand to shake yours, gently and gingerly (remember to be ladylike) place your hand in theirs and let it rest long enough to give the message that you like how your skin feels next to yours.  This is not the time to show off a firm handshake, this is you searching for love, not a job.

Grooming

What does grooming have to do with the basics of flirting?  You are flirting to find love, yes.  But you want to look and smell good doing it.  You are seeking to attract, not to offend. Don’t take the little things for granted.  Before going out to meet someone, keep in your desk or handbag the following items:

  1. Primping_mirror_Grace-Kelly_embracedesiresA compact mirror – do a double check on your appearance or use your car mirror and make sure that:
  • there isn’t any leftover food stuck in between your teeth
  • your makeup looks great
  • your hair is in place
  • there are no stains on your clothes

2.  Breath mints or small travel sized bottle of mouthwash

3.  Deodorant – you won’t believe how many of us have rushed out of the house forgetting to put on some anti-perspirant/deodorant before leaving the house.

Share with your friends.  Come back and let us know how these three basic techniques for flirting helped you find love.

Month by Month Guide: How To Have a Sex-Sational New Year, Every Year

A Month by Month Plan for a Sex-Sational New Year

New Year’s, brings new things! 365 new chances to live the life you have always wanted to live! For the New Year, when making promises to yourself to improve your life, remember to make your sex resolutions to improve your love life. Don’t waste another day-in fact, don’t waist another moment! When considering how to improve your health and well-being in the new year, make sure to plan for a  sex-sational New Year and New You! Go for more orgasms! Yes, yes, yes and oh yes! More orgasms can improve your physical, mental and emotional health! When you indulge in your passions, you open the door to embracing your desires which may help you to achieve your entire resolution list! Wouldn’t that be great! To get started, all you need is a month-by-month plan. Here are 6 ways for the next 6 months to change your life forever, enhance sexual pleasure and improve your overall health over the next six months.  Stay tuned for more!

  1. Just Do It January

It’s the beginning of the New Year! Let your inhibitions down and like the athletic giant says, Just do it! According to Dr. Laura Berman, a leading sex and relationship therapist on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, make a resolution to stay open to the promise of sex even if you aren’t immediately in the mood. Kiss your partner, enjoy his touches, and let your mind delve into fantasy. Stay open to all things  sexy and tune into the pleasure of being touched and kissed. You will likely find that your body responds and that you are in the mood after all!

Benefit: Burn calories

Have more sex, more often. Depending on your sex position, experts say 30 minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. (Ladies, you will burn more calories during sex when you are on top). It may not sound like much, but it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than enough to lose a pound. Wow! Orgasm plus weight loss!  Doubling up, you could drop that pound just by having sex for a few weeks.

2.   Freaky February

February is the shortest month to try something new! Think of the freakiest thing you’ve ever wanted to try and go for it! Try a new sexual position – Need a bit of inspiration? Check out the erotic, instructional and informative readings here on our blog to get you started. You might discover a new favorite…or two or three or more!  Buy some new lingerie. Use a new toy. Have you ever had sex in a Sex Swing? On furniture or bedding just for lovemaking? Do you want to be tied up? Has the book series 50 Shades of Grey left you wanting to be…Dominated? You must tell your partner what interests you! Say, “Spank Me”. Be bold and daring, just make sure you tell your partner. Write it down and leave it as a little love note or text, if you can’t say it. Life is too short – indulge your passions and embrace your desires.  Be as uninhibited as you desire! And oh, have fun with it! Embracedesires.com has just what you need to help you unleash your inner temptress — 50 Shades of Pleasure, Sexual Pleasure Items, Bondage Play, Anal toys, Vibrating toys & so much more!

Benefit: Improves Your Heart Health

Having sex may be good for your heart. A 20-year-long British study shows that men who had sex twice or more a week were half as likely to have a fatal heart attack than men who had sex less than once a month.

3.    Masturbate March

Masturbate much?  It’s ok. Go on, make love to yourself! Really get to know the one person you’ve been with your entire life!  Self-stimulation is normal, healthy and a wonderful way to get in touch with your hot spots. Be sure to use a high quality lube when pleasuring yourself to make each stroke wonderful. Go for mutual masturbation. Simultaneously, stimulate each other during Masturbate March.  For a unique and erotic experience, stimulate each other without penetration and see who comes to climax first. Winner gets to dominate. For stimulation without risk of a fatigued hand, use toys – grab the batteries and your favorite vibrator or introduce yourself to a new toy friend for clitoral, G-spot and P-spot stimulation. Men can benefit from the use of a onacup (male masturbation sleeve) with a vibrating bullet. If you don’t know how to love yourself, nobody else will…

Benefit: Reduce Stress

Natural endorphins released during self-stimulating pleasure can improve your overall mood by improved circulation and relieving stress.

4.      Anal April

Let’s get to the bottom of anal sex and straight men. Many straight guys have preconceived notions about anal play. Mainly, if you derive pleasure from anal stimulation, you must somehow be gay. Guys, you can still have the raging heterosexuality of an NFL offensive lineman and explore your all of your erogenous zones. The anus is full of sensitive nerve tissue that, when stimulated can bring immense pleasure. Sexual orientation doesn’t change based on pleasure zones. We recommend that you start by experimenting with a well silicone –  lubed finger.  If you are worried about residue, wear sterile gloves, and then lube your finger with a quality silicone lube.  When you and your partner are ready, then you can graduate to anal plugs. Anal plugs with a flare at the end are best if you want to avoid a trip to the ER…”uh, Doc, I was reading this blog a few hours ago and…, well you get the idea.  We highly suggest the use of silicone-based lubricants highest for pleasure during anal sex. The silicone will not be absorbed into your skin as would water-based lubes thus reducing friction and increasing pleasure. Word to the wise – START OFF SLOW! Your ass isn’t going anywhere!  If it hurts, take a break.

Benefit: Boost Immunity

Having sex, whether anal or vaginal, boosts your immunity. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.

 5.      Mind-Blowing May

Give your partner mind-blowing pleasure throughout the year, but especially during May. Dedicate this month to perfecting your blow job skills. Oral sex is one of the most delightful ways couples can give each other pleasure without saying a word. Most men are fans of the blow job as it gives them intense sexual sensations and can bring him to a pretty intense orgasm. To make him go weak at the knees, when giving him a blow job linger on the parts of his anatomy that are particularly sensitive – the tip of his penis, his testicles and his perineum – the secret spot between the testicles and the anus.  Here’s a tip to get you started, ladies… start off by licking your man with loooonnng wet strokes up and down his shaft while gently massaging his balls you will be making him moan with pleasure in no time!

Some studies suggest that women love receiving oral sex also. In fact, 30 to 50 percent of women say they can’t reach an orgasm through intercourse alone. A woman’s clitoris is the most pleasure-sensitive part of her vagina and that’s where you’ll want to devote your attention. In fact, the tiny little clitoris has more sensory nerve endings than the entire penis! Stimulating your partner’s vulva, clitoris and entrance to the vagina using your tongue, lips and mouth will drive her wild, resulting in a super intense orgasm! So, relax and share the pleasure – both giving and receiving to experience a new dimension of sensuality…mmh, mmmh, good!

Benefit: Improve your mood

Orgasms increase estrogen and endorphin levels which makes you feel good and naturally improves your mood.

 6.     G-spot June

Want to find your infamous G-spot? Search for it! Seriously, enjoy discovering your deepest pleasure spot! Insert about two well lubed fingers inside of your vagina (glycerin and paraben free water-based lube works best), turn your hand so your fingers are curved inside of you, palms up towards the ceiling and fingers towards your belly; motion with your fingers with as if you are beckoning the orgasm to come to you. You’ve lived with your body all your life; take the time to get to know yourself! The physical truth: There’s a mass of spongy tissue that surrounds the urethra, called the urethral sponge. And like other parts of the body, the tissue is full of blood vessels and nerve endings. “We know something is there − way too many women have had pleasure by stimulating… that area of the vagina,” says Amy Levine, NYC certified sexual educator.  “We also know some women ejaculate when there’s pressure applied to the same area.” Every woman’s vulva and vagina is not the same, and bundles of highly sensitive nerve endings may be in different places. Which may explain why some respond well to a certain technique or position and others don’t.  While some women’s G-spot is located about two inches from the entrance of the vagina, another woman’s g-spot might be further from the entrance of her vagina and that’s why she needs you to hit her cervix! It is time that we all start getting more of what we want! Embrace your desires in 2013. Have better sex!  It will improve your life and your health.

Benefit: It’s your sex life, make it better!

Are you in the mood for Love? Five Tips for Finding Love

Five tips to get ready for love

The holidays are upon us and there seems to be love everywhere.  Are you ready?  Are you in the mood for love?  If you’re not in a relationship don’t despair, there is plenty of time to meet someone and get those love juices flowing well in advance with these five tips to get ready for love.  So take down your inhibitions and get in the mood for love.

Soooo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want!  I’ll tell you what you want… well, you get the idea. We want to be loved, and we want our partner to take notice! First of all you have to want the whole kit and caboodle that finding love entails.  You have to want to love someone and have someone love you back.

The way to attract love is to FlirtvectorSmileyWinkIf you want to pull in anyone and everyone so that you can find THE ONE, then start flirting like mad.  And there’s no time like the present!!

Flirting can be subtle or blatant; it all depends on the situation.  And to perfect your technique there’s nothing like practice, practice and more practice.  My suggestion is to just have fun with it.  Make this your mindset and go about your day taking advantage of every opportunity.  Don’t get hung up on the idea that you’ll look foolish, love is a fool’s game and you got to get in the game!!

Use Eye Contact

Have you ever noticed that when you look at someone long enough, even if they’re facing away from you, they’ll turn and look at you within a minute or so?  Well it’s because you’ve sent out your vibe, they feel your stare.  So pick your target, and gaze (not stare – that’s just creepy) away until they turn around.  And when they do you’ve got to flash your pearly whites and give a huge smile, looking them straight in the eye.  What you do next is up to you.  If you’re the guy, and they’re alone and smiling back, it’s time to make your move.  But if you’re the gal and he’s alone and smiling back, then let him approach you.  If he doesn’t then move on, he’s not in the game.

Have Fun

meetup icon_embracedesiresJoin a “MEETUP” type group in your local area that fits your interests.  Sometimes, when we think we just need to go out and be around other like-minded folks.  Be ready!  Love shows up in the most unusual places.

Go Out on a Date

date-night_embracedesires

If I am looking for love, how do you go out on a date if you’re single, you may ask?  Easy!  There is no set rule on the number of people who can go out on a date.  Schedule a “Me” date.  Treat yourself, you deserve to look nice and be seen on the scene.  You need to show yourself some love to be ready to receive the love that you are looking for.  Get dressed up and take yourself to out to that restaurant or movie that you wanted to check out.  Lavish in all the attention you will get for being brave and confident enough to fly solo.  If you need company around you, call up a few of your single friends (male or female) who can hang at a moments’ notice and enjoy your spontaneous outing.  (Just take lots of pictures and tag us in them).

Create an Online Dating profileonline-dating

Be bold and be daring.  Just be safe! Find an online dating site and create a fun, realistic profile of who you are.  You are, after all looking for love.  Show off that beautiful smile and those gorgeous eyes (leave something to the imagination in your outfit and poses please). When you find a person who interests you and after you have exchanged messages and phone numbers, select a very public place to meet where security cameras are present and hopefully working (just kidding, but not really) Choose a spot for a late lunch or early dinner.  Just try not to schedule during a hectic week at work where your focus will be, un-focused.

Most importantly, enjoy yourself.  You have one life to live and you should live it to the fullest.

A Psalm for Single Parents (A gift shared with me many years ago)

One day after cleaning out an old desk, I came across a plaque that was given to me over 20 years ago. Yeah, I’m kind of a hoarder.  Nevertheless, thought it worthy to be shared.  Let’s face it, there are single parents out there who sometimes need to be reminded that they are not alone.

Never Walk Alone.

 A Psalm For Single Parents.

When God blessed me with children a gift beyond all wealth, I never thought I’d face the job of raising them myself.  That’s why each day and night I ask for guidance from above; for patience, faith… a gentle push, so I may act with Love.  I’ll show my children right from bring, encourage dreams & hope; explain respect for others, while teaching them to cope with outside pressures, inside fears, a world that’s less than whole ; and through it all I’ll nurture my children’s most precious soul!  Though oftentimes a struggle, this job I’ll never trade; for in my hand tomorrow lives… a future God has made. Happy Father’s Day all.
