Relationship are Hard

Image
By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
So my boyfriend and I have been having some disagreements recently about what direction we would like our relationship to move towards. I've always been in open relationships and never really tried monogamy before this relationship. It's no secret that relationships can be hard work. From day-to-day trivial arguments to long-term disagreements, it can often feel like there's no way out of a troubled relationship. But, believe it or not, there is hope. 

The first step to repairing a struggling relationship is recognizing that it's not all doom and gloom. No matter how bad things may seem, it's important to remember why you chose to be with this person in the first place. Identifying the positive aspects in the relationship can help both partners focus on what's working and put them in a better position to make things even better.

The second step is communications. It's so important to make sure you're both on the same page about how to make things work. Find out what the other person needs and wants in the relationship, and be honest about any changes that need to be made. Try to have regular conversations and brainstorm solutions together. It may take time, but it can really pay off in the end.

Finally, don't forget to show love and appreciation. A little effort can go a long way. A random gesture of kindness, a simple note of gratitude or a surprise from time to time can all help keep the spark alive in a deteriorating relationship. Don't underestimate the power of a simple smile or hug.

It's not easy to work through a struggling relationship, but it can be done. With a little effort and good communication, the two of you can work towards a brighter future. Don't forget to believe in yourself and the power of love!

Midnight Snackage

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
It's midnight and you're lying in bed, wide awake and feeling hungry. You debate whether or not to get up and make yourself a snack. On one hand, you're really not that hungry and you don't want to ruin your sleep schedule. On the other hand, you know that if you don't eat something soon, you're going to get hangry. You decide to give in to the munchies and quietly get out of bed, making your way to the kitchen. As you rummage through the pantry, you try to be quiet so you don't wake up your roommates. You're not sure what you're in the mood for, but you know you want something tasty. After a midnight snack. You make your way into the kitchen. You open the fridge, hoping to find something that will satisfy your craving without being too unhealthy. Unfortunately, all you see is a wilted salad and some leftovers that have been in the fridge for way too long. You close the fridge, disappointed. You debate whether or not to go back to bed or to try and f...

Do your Research! Sex Toy Pro-Tips

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
 Ah, sex toys–the perfect way to spice up your sex life or treat yo’self to a good time. But before you shop for your perfect erotic accessory, there are a few things to know that’ll make the journey even more satisfying. Read on for the ultimate guide to buying and using sex toys! First, safety comes first. Make sure that your toy is made with body-safe materials. If it’s made with porous materials (like jelly rubber, elastomer, and TPE), it shouldn’t be inserted into any orifices, and should be used only with water-based lubes. Second, check out the features. Consider what features you want—and don’t want. Will you be using the toy internally or externally? Do you need batteries or a plug-in? Do you need a quiet toy or something that can be heard from the other room? Third, beware of the bandwagon effect! Being a follower isn’t always a bad thing, but it’s important to select products based on your needs and tastes, rather than other people’s opinions. Fourth, don’...

My Tow Truck Adventure Heading to Virginia

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
Hi everyone!  I just recently returned from a road trip to go pick up my brand new tow truck from Virginia. It was a long journey but one of the most exciting yet! I wanted to share some of my experiences with all of you and hopefully help to provide some useful advice on planning a road trip.  One of the first things I did when preparing for this trip was to find the best route to Virginia. This can be an exciting experience, but also one that requires some planning ahead of time. After mapping out the route, I made sure my car was adequately fueled, that I had the right supplies, and that my tank was full of water.  Next, I packed all of my stuff. I made sure that I had my activities bag that I could easily pack. Then I made sure everything that I needed was in the car and everything I didn't was out. I also packed plenty of snacks and a few extra blankets to help keep me warm.  The drive through Virginia was beautiful. I stopped to take pictures of the mountains a...
