Let’s talk about vajazzling, shall we? For those of you not in the know, vajazzling is badazzling your vagina. And if you’re a woman who feels she needs a little more glitz and glam down south, I say, more power to you. It’s your va-jay-jay and your semi-precious stone collection. Do what you want with them.

I know what it’s like to be too busy to hang out in places where you could meet other singles and not even have the time to search that dating site you subscribe to.

That’s why I was so glad when I read this article that highlights exactly what, aside from looks, contributes to being attractive. I couldn’t agree more.
