With the new millennium came a new attitude towards sex.  It’s actually not new at all, openness in sexuality has been around for centuries.  Religious teachings about sex merely ran sexual behavior underground.  This has caused deviance, passive aggression, shameful and all sorts of confused behavior in our societies.

Kandi Burruss of Xscape and Reality TV show Atlanta Housewives has launched Bedroom Kandi an adult toys store and Kandi Koated Nights, an accompanying talk show to address open communication in the bedroom.  I commend her for her professional approach to such a taboo subject.  She’s an Emotional Suggestible/ Physical Sexual by the way; a lady in the streets and …

It’s ok to want sex to feel good and it’s ok to communicate to your partner when it doesn’t.  So, how do you tell your partner that things could be better without hurting their feelings?  Speak their language!  Are they Physical or Emotional?  Are they visual or kinesthetic?  These things matter because one partner will be into fantasy while the other could be more into physical stimulation.  Why not communicate about what you like in their language and allow them to do the same for the purpose of both people achieving satisfactory results.

The common misconception about sex is that everyone likes to do it the same way.  With just a little patience, you might find a whole new world to explore with each other if you’d only begin to have those forbidden conversations.  Sex in your relationship is not evil or shameful or bad, irresponsible  SEX IS!

Many artists struggle to establish their musical identity, laboriously trying on different musical styles like a piece of clothing, looking to find what fits. But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. Jinjer Brown fits firmly in the latter category. Her new mixtape, The Glamazon, is a captivating and moving debut that heralds the arrival of a gifted and significant new talent, one whose music feels familiar in the best possible way, while striking out on its own territory.

Born in the mountains of West Virginia, this diamond in the rough began her deep love affair with music writing songs, she explains, “I started writing songs in my head, and mimicking every Micheal Jackson song. My aunt still tells stories about my inappropriate love songs at age 7." The song bird relocated to the Carolina's the summer before middle school where she discovered a world of more possibilities then West Virginia had ever shown. "I began playing the cello and reading music, pulling me deeper into my love affair. The cello took my interest in music to another level, which makes it the sweetest instrument I've ever known." What started as passionate hobby took a turn towards a profession when Jinjer retaliated on a fellow classmate that had teased her in several random freestyles. "I was just tired of this kid teasing me about my "walmart shoes." I went home and prepared the hottest verse I could, memorized it, then I waited."
As sure as the sun rises, a week later her classmate began his freestyle roast with no clue what was coming for him. Out of nowhere Jinjer transformed the cafeteria into the largest cipher session the school had seen. "From that day forth they spread the word saying "She raps, Spit something else." I couldn't let them down so I made sure I always had something else when they asked for it." People in music would always suggest modeling and acting. Quickly she learned that it was very difficult to create a living in front of the camera, She formed a marketing modeling agency designed to give models a rightful pay and a reliable career from local to international levels. Jinjer was so focused on creating real income in entertainment and for the models that wasn't reliant on who liked them but how hard they were willing to work. "The agency, partnered with a 3rd party privately owned company that is growing at 800%, allowing us to make a 3 to 5 year retirement plan for serious models," says the starlet. This agency or troupe of Gorgeous Business Minded Models is known as The Glamazon Squad. These ladies conduct elite marketing & promotions within hair salons, events and with entertainers increasing revenue within 3 months. Jinjer is proud of the fact that she has developed a marketing system that generates income for her models and self. "It feels good to know I found a formula that works allowing us help other talent and businesses come alive in the communities. I understand why my journey was much more difficult... all trailblazing pioneers and moguls have been through it. "I wasn't interested in anything other than music, Music is my freedom, the Agency produced the resources for survival and the income to invest in my true passion."   

Her music is known to inspire prosperity, hard work and overcoming real life challenges. This Hip-POP Mega Star is dedicated to creating new ways for talent of all types to create income while developing and investing in self. Jinjer is currently in the studio finishing a new album working with legends like Alton Wokie Stewart (Vocal coach of all the greats) and AJ Alexander (discovered Usher). The Glamazon Squad is preparing for a 30 day Atlanta campaign followed by a national tour. 

Migraines are not just a headache. They are excruciating, often a pulsating and throbbing pain that can make the head feel as if it will explode. Some sufferers experience auras or vision changes, some vomit and some lock themselves in a dark, silent room until the pain subsides.

A new study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing Lincoln Division and Bryan Health, finds relief may not be in a pill bottle but in some relatively easy tweaks in lifestyle -- from what you eat, how much you sleep and how much you exercise.

“Generally, narcotics aren’t that effective and aren’t appropriate for chronic headaches,” said Nancy Waltman, professor of nursing and nurse practitioner at the UNMC College of Nursing Lincoln Division. “The best treatment is a combination of dietary changes, adjustments in sleep and exercise, avoiding triggers and preventative medication.''

Waltman and Catherine Parker, nurse manager in Employee Health Services at Bryan Medical Center, conducted the 12-month study together. They had 80 participants -- all employees and students at Bryan Medical Center between the ages of 25 and 67.

Analyzing data of 28 participants, Waltman and Parker found a significant decrease in frequency (76 percent) and severity (31 percent) of migraines when participants simply adjusted their lifestyles. And 66 percent of those taking part in the study said their perception of disability due to headaches also had decreased.

“We’ve found that a lot of women remain silent and don’t get treated for their migraines,” Waltman said.
