[nurseshannansreviews]

I've been wanting to try a #hardwaxbeans wax kit for a while now but hesitated because I thought it would be hot and uncomfortable. I'm so happy I had the opportunity to try this easy to use PAINLESS kit from @TressWellneess because it wasn't too hot at all and I love my #results! #ad🌿 This kit is so easy to apply and the wax glides smoothly and evenly wherever I need it. I also love that the #TressWellness wax beans are made with 100% natural ingredients designed to be gentle on your skin. Another plus is how this kit comes with everything I could possibly need for the at home spa wax experience including: 6 scented wax bean bags, 20 large spatulas, 10 small spatulas and It even includes their signature pre wax spray to prep my skin & the post wax remover spray to soothe. The wax scents all smell so good and include lemon, eucalyptus, peppermint, 2 lavender and my favorite tea tree. 🌿 This is the perfect, easy to use natural #hardwaxbeans solution for my legs and bikini line.

So this photo was way more smooth than the application of the wax LOLZ 🤣 swipe right 👉 to see the progression of me learning how to use it! This is the first time I've ever waxed anything in my life 🤪 for me there is minimal pain in the peel process... it's more the heat of the wax that hurts! How about you? What's your experience with waxing and have you ever tried doing it yourself at home?

[llpodcast]

Let me start out firstly by stating that I have not read the previous instalment of this series.  I am not sure if this left me at a disadvantage but my review may hinge on this fact.

Tresswell’s Polyamory on Trial is an interesting book with characters that are apparently very open  and honest.  As this is reinforced multiple times throughout the text, it must be so though the four men involved in their alternative relationship lifestyle, they tend to carry their life as if they are in a self help group that endlessly talk to the point of over examining and analysing their relationships and thought processes.  

It is an interesting experiment and works within this world.  In its idyllic stance, this takes a back seat to the topic of human trafficking and Syria.  Although these issues are important to address, at times the situation seems a little forced and this maybe through the plot device of alternating between first person and third person perspective.

The four main characters are interesting and each come out with their own personalities intact.  The fifth member that is added due to shady circumstances within his legal status, comes off as a bit flat.  Although as stated above, this character does bring forth the question of immigration, human trafficking, refugee status, etc and tosses around these hot potato subjects around, the character seems to be a political agenda added to more or less spice up the harmony within the household.  

Tresswell does not force her agenda into the story overtly but at times it feels that she opened this up because as this is the second book, she already tackled one hot topic and needed to add another.  It does raise necessary questions but it does feel a bit forced and a plot device to make the book relevant.  Saying this, it is all very well handled and works within the construct of the story.

Overall, this is an interesting book with well developed characters and a mystery woven into the plot.  The relationship situation shows that like “normal” relationships, they are quite fragile and come with their own host of problems.  The plot does tend to drag in parts but overall it does give payback with a host of interesting characters.

Exclusive Excerpt from A Share in a Secret

by Jude Tresswell

(Mike’s and Nick’s first night together gets a little tense…)

It was midnight. Mike lay on his back, briefs and a T-shirt still on deferentially. Nick, in boxers, lay in the crook of Mike’s arm, his right leg across Mike’s bare thighs. So this was what it was like to be held by Mike Angells! Mike was quietly talking.

“I think we all…

[polyamproud]

As creatures with finite bodies, finite energy, finite resources, and finite time, we cannot promise infinity. This is one post in a series we’ll be producing that challenge the infinity heart as a symbol for polyamory. To clarify: We don’t dislike this symbol and we don’t judge those who love it. many of our volunteers adore it! But as we push closer toward a vote on a new pride flag, we think it’s important to approach our current symbology with the same skepticism and thoughtful critique with which we have all, at some point, viewed monogamy. This may be the only opportunity in our lifetime to examine the symbols we’ve inherited as polyamorists and work together to choose our identifiers for the next several decades. We hope you’ll join us. 

~image description below~

To the middle left is thin, black text which reads “the infinity heart, as well as the infinity sign on it’s own, have strong existing cultural associations including”, followed by black text highlighted in pink which reads “mathematics, christianity”, followed by bold black text highlighted in pink which reads “and monogamy.” Beneath the text is a diagram of the infinity symbol.

Title: A Right To Know

Author: Jude Tresswell

Genres: M/M crime/mystery and relationships

“A son! A child! How? Why? Fuck! Phil! You can’t have! And does this sperm-child want to see you?”

Abandonment, trust, suspicion and compromise—integral parts of a mystery that involves industrial espionage, sperm donation and coming to terms with oneself and the truth.

Sperm donors know that now, under UK law, offspring who reach eighteen have the right to learn a donor’s identity and last known address, but Phil Roberts donated before the law was changed. He is shocked and dismayed to learn that he has a son called Lewis who intends to visit. Phil’s husband, Raith, is furious—and very scared.

What does Lewis Lennon really want? The man he has always called ‘dad’ is dead. Was his death suicide or was he murdered? Lewis wants Phil to find out. So, Phil, Raith, Mike and Ross, the County Durham Quad, plus their special friend, Nick, are embroiled in another investigation, but, as always, their relationships come under scrutiny too.
