Nighty Nights!
Posted: February 11, 2011 Filed under: CrazySexyCrafty, Dating, DIY, Fashion, Sex 3 CommentsI did a little search on what men like to see women wear to bed and what women themselves like to wear if there’s a man in a bed. The findings were interesting to say the least! Men prefer women to wear nothing (big surprise!), but if a woman isn’t that comfortable with being in the buff just yet, they like women’s sleepwear to be sexy, but without trying too hard. Think white tank tops and some cute cotton underwear, his t-shirt or his favorite team jersey! I don’t know why the jersey surprised me, but it did!
Of course, women prefer comfort. It seems that the only reason we buy fancy lingerie for a special occasion (I’m not talking about buying fancy lingerie for ourselves!) is that we think that’s what men want to see. But it looks like men could care less about lace, garters and underwire. If I’m wrong, please let me know!
I feel like the pressure is off, and I don’t need to bother with the underwear theatrics. Oh, who am I kidding?! I’m not interested in buying that stuff! I do, however, want to wear something cute and comfy when heading to bed. A plain t-shirt is not going to cut it. Refashioning some t-shirts into a cute nighty is right up my ally!
I used:
An extra large t-shirt. I actually had extra large t-shirts scraps, so I used those.
elastic
thread
something to decorate-I used Simply Spray, but you can use markers, appliques, etc.
Need some other ideas?

It’s not a nighty, but everyone loves the underwear made from a men’s top that Clare Bare showed at Threadbanger (video)
CrazySexyCrafty: DIY Dirty Dice
Posted: February 9, 2011 Filed under: CrazySexyCrafty, Dating, DIY, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sex Leave a commentYou’ve seen these before right? They are called dirty dice or naughty dice and they tell you to do something to a certain part of the body. They are a lot of fun, and very dangerous! Sometimes though, they are limiting, since there is only six sides of the die. You can make your own and get really crazy with it and use whatever verbs and body parts you like!
I found a pic of a cube template. I downloaded it, and put it in my graphics program and typed in the words. If you don’t have a graphics program, you can just print out blank cubes and print words separately, then glue the words on the cube.
Print the cubes on card stock and cut them out. I changed the template when printing so that I would get four smaller images instead of one big one.
Fold. You can score the straight lines with a butter knife or a fabric tracer and a straight edge.
Roll.
You can even add a third one that has the location! Have fun!
Citrus Massage Oil
Posted: February 8, 2011 Filed under: DIY, Lifestyle, Sex Leave a commentMassages are almost always expected on Valentine’s Day, and if you really want to make the experience memorable, you’ll definitely want to have some massage oil. There’s no need to buy one. It’s really easy to make one at home with a few ingredients you probably already have on hand.
You’ll need 2 cups of oil of your choice, one orange and one lemon. I used a combo of olive and sunflower oil. I’ve been getting 100% sunflower oil at the dollar store. It’s a nice light oil that’s high in vitamin E.
Using a vegetable peeler, carefully cut pieces of the orange and lemon peel.
Heat your oil and lemon peel on low heat for about 15 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Transfer to a cleaned, recycled bottle. I had a glass one on hand.
You can place the bottle in a pan of hot water to warm before using. Make a cute label, and you’re ready to rub!
