Losing Weight After Lil Hank

Thu, 17 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

After I had Lil Hank I didn’t want to give up anything, but I wanted to feel good about my body again. I worked with a trainer to figure out the best way to go about losing the weight. I decided to go with five small meals a day and working out as much as I could. That meant that I could still eat my favorite foods, just in smaller proportions and had to increase my exercise.

I didn’t spend hours and hours at the gym. I did go to the gym and worked out hard, but I looked for other ways to burn calories in my every day activities as well. I walked around carrying baby Hank as much as I could, and when my arms got tired, I pushed him around in the stroller. I did anything and everything I could to burn extra calories. It didn’t matter how I was burning the calories, as long as I was burning them. I also made a point to run in the mornings and to shed my belly fat, I use Ab Cuts, which I felt really helped me.

It took a lot of hard work but I ended up losing 40 pounds after baby Hank was born. I can honestly say that I love my body now and I feel like I got my sexy back.

Have you lost weight before? What worked for you? How did you lose it?
Love, Kendra

Play Dates in the Park

Tue, 15 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

Lil Hank has so much energy all the time, which is why I like to take him to the park for play dates. It’s been really nice outside and I think it’s the perfect way to get him to burn off some of his extra energy.

I can’t believe how Lil Hank is growing! It’s out of control! LOLOL. And, can you believe, he’s also learning Spanish! It’s crazy! OK! Magazine recently put this little bit in this week’s issue about Lil Hank’s skills:

What do you do with your little one to burn off their extra energy?

My Picks for Summer Swimsuits

Thu, 10 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

I worked really hard to get back in shape after having Lil’ Hank. To celebrate, I’m buying some cute swimsuits to get ready for some poolside fun this summer! I really like solid colored bikinis at the moment and prefer halter top-styles since they offer more support. Check out these swimsuits that I LOVE!

What's your swimsuit style?

New York Times: Being a Celebrity Mom

Wed, 09 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

Last week I was included in a piece from the New York Times on being a celebrity mom.

“If I would have stayed that party girl, I don’t think I would have had the success I had. I think it all had to do with me taking the craziest turn any party girl could have taken. And that’s having a family. It was much more valuable than being at the Playboy Mansion. Like, 100 times more valuable.”

How has motherhood changed you?
Love, Kendra

Best Hiking Trails in LA

Thu, 03 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

Hiking is a great way to burn calories and great for couples, too. I love hikes because they are never boring. There are lots of things to see, especially in the spring when the plants are blooming, and all the new baby animals are out. Each hike is an adventure. I’d love to hike more with Hank. I feel like hiking is a perfect date.

If you’re in LA and want to take a hiking adventure, you have to check out the Santa Monica Mountains Waterfall Trek up Escondido Canyon. It’s about 4 miles – the perfect hike, with amazing scenery!

If you’re on the East Side, check out the Griffith Park Trails up near the Observatory. This is a shorter hike, less than 3 miles. The hike actually starts at the Fern Dell picnic area near Los Feliz Boulevard.

What’s your favorite hiking spot in LA?

Love, Kendra

Cinco de Mayo Means Margarita Madness

Wed, 02 May 2012 06:00:00 -0700

Who’s super excited for Cinco de Mayo? It’s the perfect excuse to hang out with your friends and drink margaritas. And this year it falls on a Saturday, so you don't have to worry about work in the morning! Not that that would stop you from partying anyway…. LOL.

There’s no better way to get your butt kicked on Cinco de Mayo then by serving a bad pitcher of margaritas. With a little practice, you can become a margarita master before the 5th rolls around. Just check out this hilarious “Make it with a Fireman” video to get a great Sauzarita recipe for the holiday. Plus you also get to see a hottie with his shirt off. It begs the question; does tequila taste better when it’s licked off of rock hard abs?

Here’s a way to find out! Get 3 bucks off some Sauza Tequila for your party.

Head on over here to snag your coupon. You can even get more margarita tips and enter some cool giveaways.

What are your big plans for Cinco de Mayo? And how much tequila do they involve?

What Do Sexual Fantasies Really Mean?

Tue, 01 May 2012 11:52:17 -0700

Team Kendra came across this article and we want to know what you guys think about it. Seems like everyone’s reading or talking about the book “50 Shades of Grey.” It’s stirring up a lot of debate about women and sexual fantasies and sexual domination.

An article in Newsweek seems to have stirred up more controversy suggesting that women are not really comfortable with their advancements in the workplace and turn to sexual domination because deep down, women don’t really want to be in charge. Needless to say, that rubbed a lot of women the wrong way and set off a debate and a ton of articles.

Sexual fantasies might be revealing for some, but more exploratory for others. If you trust your partner, there’s nothing wrong with a little role-playing. True equality would mean that women are free to live however they want, including being dominated if that’s what pleases them.

What do you guys think about this?

Turn-Offs in the Bedroom

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 06:00:02 -0700

What turns you on in the bedroom? More importantly, what turns you off? Things can go from hot and heavy to icy cold in an instant, when someone does something that turns you off. I did a little online research and found some of the top turnoffs in the bedroom.

Bad Breath
Lack of Confidence
Awkward Groping
Baby Talk
Lack of Foreplay
Sloppy Kissing
Lack of Communication
Sexually Inhibited
Selfish/Lazy Lover
Reluctance To Use A Condom
Run Down/Jacked Up Underwear
Biting, Scratching or Inflicting Unwanted Pain

Don't let these things stand in the way of the bedroom. Sex is good for you!

Hank and I are pretty free with one another in the bedroom, and to be honest, with time you love a person more and more and are willing to overlook the occasional bedroom no-no. You are also less shy about saying things like, “I love yah hon, but you need to go brush them teeth.” LOLOL

What are your biggest bedroom turnoffs?

Love, Kendra

3 Ways to Make Him Fall for You

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:00:00 -0700

When you want to get a guy’s attention, it’s natural to pull out all the stops. You act sweeter, dress sexier, and are more accommodating all with the hope that he’ll fall madly in love with you.

Did you know this is actually the WORST way to get a man to feel romantic about you? He may be thankful that you make the dinner reservations, buy him gifts, or even do his laundry, but this behavior can also come off as smothering. Next thing you realize you’ve landed in the Friend Zone, a dark pit of frustration from which there is no escape.

Here are some tips to inspire his romantic side instead:

1. Don’t Give More Than You Receive.
Turn the dial down on your showering of affection. A man is actually turned off when he gets more from you than he gives. All of that attention and gift giving makes him think of you as a friend or even a mother (creepy!) instead of a romantic interest.

2. Don’t Be Exclusive Unless He Is Too Define.
The. Relationship. If you aren’t his one and only then don’t make him yours. Keep your options open. This way, you keep your class, your power, your boundaries, and he has to work to get you!

3. Don’t Plan Dates
This is not your responsibility. Even if you think that if you don’t plan you will never go anywhere nice, have faith that your guy will come around and do the right, and romantic, thing. A woman who can respect a man enough to not try to “pick up the slack” for him is the woman he falls in love with.

Want to find out more about how to avoid doing the things that actually push a man away? Sign up for Rori Raye’s free newsletter. She’s a dating and relationship coach that has a ton of terrific advice and tips just like the ones above.

Best Ways to Improve Your Sex Life

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 06:00:00 -0700

I get a lot of questions about sex and to answer you guys, I’m sharing some tips on how to keep things steamy in the bedroom.

Make it a priority: Life happens, and when you’re juggling a career, being a mom, and running around, your sex life can suffer. Make sure you carve out time, (assign certain days) where sex is scheduled. Not very sexy, I know, but it works! LOLOL

Ask for what you want: Let your partner/husband/wife know what it is that turns you on. No one is a mind reader and it takes out the guesswork, making more time for what you really want.

Mix it up: That means being spontaneous! Some ideas: Dressing up in something sexy as a surprise, leaving a sexy note/sexting leading up to the evening, or trying out new things in bed.

Last but not least, don’t forget to check out my Love Candy Collection!

What works for you?

Love,

Watch a Hottie Make a Margarita with a Cute Kitten!

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:00:00 -0700

When you think of the perfect ladies night, drinks, laughs, and awkward sex stories usually come to mind. LOL. But adding a fireman wouldn’t be such a bad idea either. Fresh margaritas made by a hottie in suspenders? Yes please! Now that might have to become a regular thing.

The hilarious Make It with a Fireman video below features a sweaty, chiseled fireman and an adorable kitten busting out the tequila. It’s like some kind of crazy dream! They serve up a Sauza margarita recipe that will turn any ordinary ladies night into a party.

Funny, right? Or are you disappointed that he didn’t whip out his hose? LOL!

Mr. Sexy Fireman makes it look like delicious margaritas couldn’t get any easier, or juicier. You don’t even need a blender, but go ahead and mix in some ice if you’re in the mood for a frosty, zingy treat.

So tell your girlfriends to just bring over some limes for a guaranteed awesome night in full of good times and laughs. And if one of them knows a fireman who can pour a stiff drink, go ahead and invite him over too. With his gear on, of course.

Check out more sweet and sexy margarita recipes over at Sauza.com.
