Location, Location, Location


Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Orange Juice and Cranberry Juice… mixed in a highball glass is called Sex on the Beach. But I don’t want to talk about that fancy schmancy alcoholic beverage with a tiny umbrella. I want to talk about real sex on the beach…yes Sex – On. The. Beach.

On the two or three occasions I have had the opportunity to have a little lovin’ on the beach it hasn’t really gone all that well. It sounds so romantic doesn’t it? Laying down a blanket or towel on the sand, moonlight shining, waves breaking in the background, a little kiss and cuddle *cue music*

Very, very romantic…. but have you ever tried rubbing the wrong side of a lemon zester on the inside of your wrist? Yeah, that shit hurts. So there you lie getting all romantic, things are progressing quite well and as you get down to the actual deed you realize sand gets everywhere, literally EVERYWHERE. They say sand is a good exfoliator for your skin, but not on the inside for goodness sake – beach sex is like having intercourse with an emery board. Or sandpaper rolled around a stick. Chafing like you cannot believe, in places you didn’t know you had.

Emery Boards - Not a good option



And then, for days after you are finding grains of sand and even tiny seashells in all your nooks and crannies. I’ve even had to sit and pick driftwood out of my lady parts {well probably not actual driftwood, but definitely something that came home from the beach in my knickers}

So next time you’re at the beach with your other half just remember, the payback is just not worth it and don’t ever believe the movies when you see them rolling in the waves because the salt water mixed with sand is even worse.

And yes, I did say I've tried two or three times (possibly more). Some people never learn, but when the urge takes you, you’ve just got to say yes… any time, any place… that’s me!

Mixology 101...?

I am a master mixologist…. Even if I do say so myself!

I’ve become bored with Rum and Coke, Vodka and Orange, even Vodka and Red Bull… they are so blasé nowadays, don’t you think? Everybody drinks the same thing, it seems - whatever the recent favorite is of the rich and famous. Ha, but not me, (okay maybe a little, I did mention Red Bull and Vodka didn’t I?) I have become, yes, a mixologist. But only in my kitchen.

What this actually means is that I go to my kitchen, stand on the stool so I can reach the alcohol cupboard, which for some reason is really high up, and take out a number of different alcoholic beverages…. And begin to mix! Sometimes the resulting concoctions are not as nice as you would expect them to be – for example Captain Morgan Tattoo Rum and orange juice is bloody awful! Don't say I didn't warn you.

But this weekend I have found a winner…. Drum roll please…

Mango and Passion Fruit Vodka with Club Soda and a slice of Grapefruit. Yes, that’s right, I said grapefruit – which you squeeze into the drink just before you drink it. Oh yum.. you can hear angels singing with your first sip and they just get louder the more you drink (or was that just ‘cos I was getting drunk?)


It's the absolute perfect drink for either a night out or while sitting by the pool AND ladies... the vodka is a skinny version - only 78 calories per drink. My vodka of choice was Smirnoff Vodka Sorbet Light Mango Passionfruit. And it's absolutely wonderful.

Oh, and on a side note, I would like to say hello to everyone at Smirnoff - I love your product (hmmm... maybe I will get a few samples in the mail)...

kisses,
