Shimmy your boobs and bum to raise your Sparkle

What! – I hear you say, what do you mean by that?

I use the expression 'Shimmy your boobs and bum' often when I talk about what I do for business. To actually shimmy your boos and bum is something that we do in my workshops and Sparkle Gyms. But it is also a metaphor for shimmying you boobs and bum in life.

According to the English Dictionary shimmy means an American ragtime dance with much shaking of the hips and shoulders. Also to vibrate and wobble (tee- hee, sounds fun, doesn’t it!)

Have a go, put some music on, perhaps a Latin American, song and start to shake your shoulders and bum. When yon shake your shoulders, your boobs will probably follow. Can you feel that you are vibrating and wobbling?

The important thing is to relax when you do this, it might take some practice.

To re-discover your sparkle, metaphorically means that like when you shimmy your boobs and bum, to have a bit more fun, giggle and laugh, feel that energy in your body every day, and as a bonus you will feel more alive, more sensual and sexy.

Have fun! Shimmy Cimmy

A Campaign for Real Beauty Mission 

Only 2% of women around the world describe themselves as beautiful.

Many of us know intellectually that the media approach to beauty, that you are supposed to be thin, young and blond, is wrong. But what can we do about it?

This campaign, conducted by Dove started in 2004 and is now in its third phase, The mission is to make more women feel beautiful everyday by widening stereotypical views of beauty.

Young girls today are bombarded with unrealistic unattainable messages and images of beauty that will impact on their self-esteem.

Dove are offering a variety of tools for improving girls self-esteem.

Why is it that we are so reluctant to talk about sex?

I shared with some friends from school what it is that I do for work and when I told them there was complete silence around the table…

We use to spend time together when we were around 10-15 years old and we still keep in touch which is really nice. When I visit Sweden, we spend  an evening out together or we stay over night in someone's home, this time they came over to London to visit me.

Then one of them asked me how it's going with my business, and what is it that I do… really?

I answered the question saying that I work with women who want to feel more sparkly, want to feel more feminine sensual and sexy. And I said that sometimes I work with them teaching them how to experience and enjoy sex in a different way – there was complete silence around the table and I could sense they started to squirm. Even when I explained that I didn't mean different positions, or techniques, more about intimacy, one of them just changed the subject.

Again, I realised and I was reminded how tricky it can be for women to talk about sex, it seems to be a really sensitive topic to talk about, and I really wonder what the reason for that is. I've been there myself, so I understand the reaction, but I have forgotten about it, and I need to remind myself that many women are not really ready yet to talk about it.

Why should we talk about it, you might wonder? Because it's healthy and refreshing and it so human to want to experience and find pleasure in feeling nice and warm and sexy – to feel alive.

When women come to my workshops they are really pleased to find out how nice it is to meet other women and to start to open up a bit about the area of sex. They say it really helps them. They really appreciate that they know that they are not alone and that there is something that they can do about whatever situation it is they find themselves in relation to sex.

I would love to hear from you, what are your thoughts about this topic? If you don't want to leave a comment, you can e-mail me directly.

Do you wish you were more spontaneous?

The theme in my Sparkle Gym session yesterday was, Being Spontaneous. Having more fun and being more spontaneous is something that I hear often from women that I speak to and that have participated in my Sparkle programmes.

Would you like to be more spontaneous? Of course I would like to, I hear you say! Children are completely naturally spontaneous. And they/we grow up and the spontaneity slowly fades away, life takes over.

What does being spontaneous specifically mean to you? What is it that is stopping you from being spontaneous?

Being Spontaneous means you do naturally do something without external influence, as it says in the English Dictionary, or put in another way, something that you do on the spur of the moment, because you want to.

What could you do today, something that didn't plan to do, that would bring that lovely feeling of being a bit naughty, or mildly indecent? Being spontaneous will make feel more alive!
