How To Start Feeling Sexy Again When Your Confidence Falters

We all have plenty to admire, to adore, and to love, but it’s not always easy to feel that. Whether it’s being bombarded with the unrealistic beauty standards flaunted on TV, or just coping with the stresses of daily life, it’s not difficult to start feeling distinctly unsexy. However, you don’t have to make massive changes to get back that sense of confidence and desirability. Sometimes, you just need to remind yourself of what you got.

Self-Care Can Help You Reconnect With Your Body

How we see our body and feel about it massively influences how we feel about it. If we don’t give it the care and treatment it needs, then we can stop seeing it as a canvas for appreciation and attraction. Even simple self-care rituals, like indulging in long baths, practicing gentle stretches, or moisturizing with scented lotions, can help you appreciate your physical form. When we put effort into caring for ourselves, then we tend to feel better about ourselves, too.

Express Desirability Even When No One Is Around

Sexiness and sexuality are not purely about catering to the gaze of another. There is an empowerment and a feeling of rediscovering our own allure in playing up our sexiness even when we’re alone. This could be as simple as buying and wearing some lingerie even without an audience in mind. It becomes your little secret, a personal reminder of your strength, femininity, and allure. This same energy can begin to radiate out of you when you’re out and about, fostering new levels of confidence and self-love.

Appreciate Sexiness In Its Many Forms

Our idea of sexiness and how well we fit that definition is often defined in part by the images we surround ourselves with. While the actresses and models we see on TV and the internet may, indeed, be attractive in their own right, you need to remind yourself that they are not the standard-setters of what attractiveness is. For instance, changing your social media feeds can change your perceptions, and following some diverse beauty-focused accounts can help you see that sexy exists in many forms and, indeed, exists in you, too.

Rediscover Your Sensuality

Sexiness can often be tied to our feelings of sexuality. If we let our sensual side and our desires to explore and enjoy pleasure diminish over time, then we can feel less sexual as people. Rediscovering that intimacy isn’t just about self-pleasure, but it can certainly help. If you’ve fallen out of the habit of spending a little time with yourself, then you might want to look into tips on how to rediscover your pleasure, whether you need new methods of stimulation or just to set a little more time for yourself.

Our sense of sexiness, just like every other aspect of our sense of self, needs a little reinforcement now and then. The ups and downs of everyday life can leave that side of us feeling neglected, so hopefully the tips above show you how to show it some love.

Everything You Need For Geek Greatness This Winter

In the wise words of Sean Bean, “winter is coming,” and it’ll be here sooner than you think. That’s why it’s important to make sure that you are ready for a great geek-approved season in your home. There are lots of different elements that you can explore here so let’s dive in and make sure that you’re going to have a fantastic time when the snow begins to fall.

Tech

If it’s too cold outside and there’s nothing much on at the cinema aside from The Running Man, Predator: Badlands, Wicked: For Good, Avatar: Fire & Ash, Tron: Ares, Good Fortune, Black Phone 2…then you might want to stay in and watch some classics. For that, you are always going to need the right tech setup. The good news is that there are lots of different elements that you can explore here to ensure that you have the perfect cinema set up. The first thing that you will need is the right sound bar. These days, you can get AI infused soundbars which may sound a little pointless. But any tech enthusiast will tell you that the problem with sound bars is that while the thunderous crashes can be deafening, dialogue can get lost. With an AI soundbar, it adjusts the sound so you can always here what people are saying. Certainly useful if you’re a fan of the Nolan movies. 

Warm Wonders

As well as investing in the right tech, it’s important to make sure that you are keeping warm this winter. If you head on Amazon, then you’ll probably find plenty of geek-themed cosy choices which might be tempting. However, be careful that you avoid buying item that are made from low quality material. They might look great but they probably won’t provide the practical benefits that you are looking for. That’s why it might also be worth purchasing options like thermal socks to keep those toes nice and warm while you are enjoying your favourite shows. 

Films & TV

Moving on, as established, the best way to spend a winter evening is to watch some classic TV and films. There’s plenty to choose from through the winter months. For instance, you might want to consider an option like a classic Christmas playlist. There are lots of different geeky choices that can be included in a choice like this. For instance, you could add in Violent Night as well as the Die Hard movies. As well as these options, you might also want to think about choices like The Santa Clause. Or, if you want to go in a completely different direction, winter is a great time for Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and even The Lord of The Rings marathons. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the key things that you need to ensure that you can stay warm and have a great geeky time indoor this winter. Whether you’re catching up on some of the shows you missed on getting the blu-rays out for a classic winter watch list, you’re sure to have a great time if you take this advice.

4 Ways to Get Better at Airsoft

Are you just getting into airsoft? If so, welcome to the club. Airsoft has been steadily growing in popularity around the world, and it’s especially popular in the United States, which has seen an increase in the number of participants and venues in recent years, with more anticipated in the future. 

The popularity of airsoft is great for the game, but not so great for newcomers, who can find entering the airsoft arena a little intimidating. It’s still fun even if you’re not on the winning side, but we all know that everything’s better when you’re at least confident that you put in a good performance. 

Happily, newcomers can rapidly improve their performance just by taking on board a few handy tips, which we’ll outline below. With these, you should find that you’re increasingly proud of your performance every time you leave the venue.

Take Breaks

One of the easiest ways for players to improve their performance is to take breaks. Many beginners push themselves to the limit by staying in the game for as long as possible, but as with most things, your performance will begin to dip once physical and mental fatigue begin to set in. Airsoft is a lot more demanding than many people think, and you’ll absolutely be better if you’ve given your body and brain the chance to take a breather. You’re not obliged to stay in the game. Take yourself out, hydrate, get yourself together, and then jump back in when you’re ready. 

Comfortable Clothing and Equipment

Airsoft is physically demanding, and you’ll find that things are much easier if you’re wearing comfortable, breathable clothing. It’s all about maximizing mobility while also adhering to the climate (lightweight in summer; base layers in winter). Your clothing and equipment should keep you comfortable while also enhancing performance, so it’s worthwhile adding a tactical chest rig. Take a look at a tactical chest rigs collection to find one that offers the right amount of storage for your gear while also facilitating fast reloads. You’ll find that your performance naturally improves when your outfit has been optimized for your needs. 

Practice Your Movements

Most newcomers focus on their ability to target others, but actually, it’s just as important to avoid being targeted. Not only will your defensive skills make you more difficult to play against, but those skills usually go hand-in-hand with improving your attacking abilities. If you can move with stealth, you will get better. This is something that you can practice at home, or even in a wooded area if you have access and don’t mind getting strange looks from passersby!

Reload at Home
Many beginners struggle with the process of reloading their weapon while in the heat of battle. It’s a tense situation, and it’s hard to do things quickly when you’re feeling the pressure. You can get around this by practicing reloading at home. If it’s a passion, then it’ll be fun. Eventually, it’ll become second nature, and you’ll be able to do it with your eyes closed when out on the field.

How to Make Boating a Fun Activity for the Whole Family

Owning a boat is something that many people dream of. Having the freedom to get out onto the water and leave behind the stress of work is an amazing feeling. Owning a boat of your own enables you to get yourself out into the open water to enjoy a few hours in the peace and tranquility of the ocean whenever you feel like it.

When your life is busy, time spent with your family is precious, so it’s vital to include them in your newfound love of spending time at sea. This sounds great in principle, but it’s important to ensure that the time spent on your boat is fun for every member of the family. Here are some of the ways you can make boating a fun activity for the whole family:

Choose the Right Boat

The type of boat you choose is going to make a big difference to your family boat trips. Choosing a family-friendly boat is the firsts tep to enjoying lots of fun boat trips together. After all, if everyone is feeling comfortable on board, you’re all more likely to have lots of fun. 

Looking at Sylvan pontoon listings is a great place to start your search for a new boat, as you will find lots of family-friendly options available that are perfect for all your adventures.

Get the Kids Involved in Planning Your Boat Trip

Your kids are far more likely to have fun if they’re involved in planning your next boat trip. Putting together an itinerary and letting kids choose the destination (within reason!) can be a perfect way to plan a trip that everyone will enjoy.

Kids will love the excitement of being involved in the trip planning, and the sense of adventure that this brings. All this trip preparation is also a helpful way to introduce kids to maps and navigation, so as well as being fun, they will also learn some new skills along the way.

Engage Kids With Their Surroundings

With no screens in sight, being aboard a boat is the perfect opportunity to engage kids in plenty of tech-free fun. Encouraging kids to engage with their surroundings, observing everything that’s around them and discussing what they can see is a great way to keep them in the moment and really paying attention. Describing the natural environment and it’s features is a great way to expand kids’ knowledge of the nature and their understanding of the world around them.

Always Bring Food!

One final tip to help make boating a fun activity with kids is to always be prepared with food! Feeling hungry is a major distraction that will prevent kids having a great time and will strongly impact their mood. So, it’s a great idea to pack plenty of snacks and even a picnic meal to enjoy together during your boat trip. Don’t forget to pack drinks too, including plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated in case it’s hotter than expected when you’re out on the water.

N I N E

This one hurts a little bit. Nine. NINE. You like to remind me that this is your last single-digit birthday, and I tell you to please stop. You very quickly shout “no!” paired with that contagious giggle of yours. 

I see you growing up, and it’s both beautiful and a little terrifying. A little painful. Things feel harder now. You don’t just need my help to tie shoes or to open a tightly wrapped toy. You need help understanding loss, mistakes, jealousy, anger. You want to know about the whole world, but are still young enough that I feel the need to shield you. You love academia – still a fantastic student and just as eager to go to school every single morning, not only to see your friends, but to LEARN. How you love to learn. In fact, you love it so much, you say you want to be a teacher when you grow up.

Your heart is so big. Your light is so bright. You are kind, endlessly full of quirky energy, and always ready to have a good time. Always the performer, your favorite place is on a stage, and you have added a cheer floor to the mix this year.  You are strong, and work hard to get better at the things you love. You are a voracious reader, especially of graphic novels. You love Taylor Swift and the Descendants, and I can find you creating your own choreography anytime I pass by your room. You love playing with makeup, Kuromi (and anything you consider “emo”), and learning new acro tricks. You started to travel the world with us, and can’t wait to continue to add stamps to your passport.

What I love the most is that you know EXACTLY who you are, and you are not ashamed of it in the least. You proudly state that you are a nerd and enjoy being every bit the individual you are at only nine years old. Some days are hard. Very, very hard. We are painstakingly honest with you about your ADHD, and I know you chose me to challenge me, and help me become better. I tell you every single day that you are my best friend and that we are a team. You may be an only child, but you are the furthest thing from alone. You have so many people that love you, and believe in you. 

Something about this year feels big, I can see you changing. With all the changes: from PJ Masks and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to Lululemon and Sephora, remember to never change your heart. Your soul. Do not change for one single soul. Not even for me. Not for one minute. 

Don’t forget: to me, you are perfect.

Happy birthday, moon. Cheers to new adventures ahead!
