This month, as Cal Exotics Sexperts™, we were sent another great new product to review. Each product will be rated, by our testers (a couple), using The Love Bird’s Feathers Rating Scale™:
1  = ”not so hot” to
5 = “extremely hot”
“The hotter the product is, the more feathers it will take to cool you off!”
 The new product we received is called Lia Magic Wand™. This is a very gentle and nice looking vibrator. It’s soft to the touch, flexible and seamless. But don’t let all of that fool you! It has an “extreme power motor” that includes 10 functions of vibration, pulsation, and escalation. It has 2 soft touch buttons (an EZ on/off button and a function button). It is waterproof and unscented and has a sensual “G” contour.
The Lia Magic Wand™ is made of “pure silicone” and requires only 2 AA batteries. The vibrator measures 6.5 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and weighs 3.60 oz. The Lia Magic Wand™ comes in 3 colors to choose from: pink, white and purple. It’s recommended that you use a water-based lubricant with this vibrator.
So, what did our testers say? Overall, they said they really liked the Lia Magic Wand™. They liked the look and softness of this vibrator as well as the ease of use. It’s non-threatening and has many uses (both vaginal and clitoral stimulation). They also liked the fact that it’s waterproof, very light and flexible.
Therefore, we gave it . You will need all 5 feathers to help cool you off!

 The new product we received is called Calla Lily™. At first glance, this toy reminded us of The White Stork™ we received months ago. It has a very similar look. On the package, it states, “Experience love of serenity and pureness with this beautiful Calla Lily that brings incredible pleasure and inspires health and happiness.”
This is a waterproof vibrator with a clitoral stimulator with an “intensely powerful” micro-bullet (stated for “amazing G-Spot arousal”). When we first saw this vibrator, we knew it would have some power. It has 8 speeds of both shaft rotation (yes, the shaft rotates!) and clitoral vibration, each having 3 functions (vibration, pulsation, and escalation). This vibrator also has a “sensuous soft shape” and a “full contact stimulating petal” for clitoral stimulation.
The Calla Lily™ is made of “hygienically superior unscented TPR material” and requires 3 AA batteries. The shaft measures 5.5 inches and weighs 9.60 oz. It has LED lights and an automatic on/off button. It’s recommended that you use a water-based lubricant with this vibrator.
So, what did our testers say? Overall, they said they really enjoyed the Calla Lily™ and gave it . You will need all 4 feathers to help cool you off!

Has this ever happened to you? You wake up in the morning and think to yourself, “This is not going to be a good day”. Then, throughout the day, you see tons of reasons why you should have never left your bed in the first place! If so, it’s because of a phenomenon called confirmation bias (a term that’s discussed in many Psychology classes). It means we have the tendency to look for evidence to confirm our beliefs about things, instead of looking for contrary evidence to test our beliefs.
Using the example above, we woke up with the belief that the day would not be good and noticed all the evidence that confirmed our belief about the day. There may have been several situations that have disconfirmed our belief, but we simply overlook or ignore them. This bias can impact many areas of our life including our relationships. Just think about it. For instance, if you believe your partner is lazy and uncaring, then you will have the tendency to notice and focus only on the situations that prove your belief (“See, he/she is really lazy and uncaring!”). You do this instead of checking to see if your belief is false. So, based on this concept, here’s our relationship challenge for the month:
- First, become aware of any negative beliefs you have about your partner.
- Then, challenge yourself (really challenge yourself!) to look for evidence or proof that disproves or contradicts your negative beliefs. This helps you test your beliefs about your partner.
- Finally, when you find proof that disproves your beliefs, let them know you noticed the good stuff they are doing! Acknowledge and thank them.
- If you have difficulty with this challenge or feel your negative beliefs about your partner are true and you need help, please feel free to contact us.
Wishing you more connection and passion! Please feel free to contact us with topics you would like us to address.
Many blessings!

This month we are reviewing a new product called ”Ecstasy”. Ecstasy is an “elegantly understated” personal dual massager from California Exotic Novelties’ Petite Couture Collection™. “Elegance, power, innovation and passion inspired the Couture Collection™”. This product is great!
It is made from “the finest medical grade Silicone from Japan”. It has a sleek power pack that shows the seven functions of stimulation (vibration, pulsation and escalation) as well as three speeds of shaft rotation. It has “feather touch controls with luminous light”. The Ecstasy is 4.75 inches long and weighs 8 oz. It takes 3 AAA batteries and has an automatic on/off button.
It’s soft, pliable, flexible and unscented. And another bonus…it’s water proof which can take bath time to a whole new and fun level! According to the package, “Couture’ is simply the best”. And we happen to agree!!
Therefore, we give the Ecstasy™: ! It’s extremely hot!!

We have already learned so much about the bonds of love … Hundreds of studies tell us, for example, that love is an exquisitely logical survival code and that the ability to reach out, clearly state your emotional needs and respond to your lover’s emotional need for comfort, reassurance and connection is the key ingredient in love. … -once we understand the bonds of love, then we can actively shape these bonds in a way that is new for human lovers. We can have love that lasts a lifetime. ~ Sue Johnson

This month is all about love. Valentine’s Day is coming up and love is in the air! We aren’t opposed to Valentine’s Day but we certainly hope that you are showing your partner love all year long…every day…not just when the stores and advertisements say you should. We recommend you get started now, instead of waiting until the 14th. Here are some tips that can show your partner that love is indeed in the air:
-
Know your partner’s love language. If you don’t know it or know what we are talking about, then we recommend the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman. Dr. Chapman explains that there are five love languages or ways to show love: words of affirmation, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. Problems can occur when we show our partner love in one language (i.e. buying her flowers) but he/she speaks another love language (i.e. wanting to spend quality time with you instead).
-
Start secretly showing love for your partner in small ways every single day using their love language. Have fun trying to think of new ways to express your love. For some ideas, see # 3.
-
Remember, expressing love for your partner does not have to cost money! Write your partner love notes and hide them (of course, where you know they will find them). Give your partner lots of hugs and kisses when they first wake up, when they get home, and before they go to sleep. Tell your partner the many reasons why you love them. Write them a love letter or poem. Do one of their chores each day, etc.
-
Plan a surprise “pleasure event” every week for your partner. For example, how about surprising your partner with a bubble bath with rose petals, candles, soft music, and a glass of wine? Or maybe cooking a nice dinner for your partner and serving it to him/her naked or in sexy lingerie? Plan a romantic picnic on the living room floor while listening to your special love songs or reading erotic stories to each other. How about surprising your partner by trying something new sexually (i.e. a new toy, a new position or a new sexual fantasy character, etc.)?
-
Remember to be thankful for your partner every day!
Wishing you more connection and much love!
