What's in a Brown Bag

This is a new blog to explore the wonderful world of Brown Bag Parties.

I am a Brown Bag Party Consultant; sex-toy saleswoman extraordinaire! You may wonder how I came to be a romance consultant. Me too!! How, after 20 years of being a nurse, how does one simply decide to start slinging dildos for a living?

First of all, that's not exactly what I do-- or certainly not the only thing. My job is as meaningful as it it fun, and although I'd never have dreamed I'd end up here one day, I'm awfully glad I did!

My journey began several years ago when I attended a friend's party (yes--one of those parties!) and I had an absolute blast! I immediately decided (after learning how much the consultant made that night) that I was going to become a romance consultant! I've always been fairly skilled in public speaking, I LOVE to have fun, and I knew my nursing and psych background would be a invaluable when it came to understanding the female body and the physiological/psychological sexual response. I signed on as a rep within a week and I've never looked back.

I've since been able to quit my full-time nursing job and Brown Bag IS my job! I get to spend more time at home with my kids, and even though they're almost grown (actually 2 of them are already adults!) it's nice being able to spend this last bit of time with them.

I get to meet tons of fabulous people (mostly ladies, but plenty of men, too!) and I'm blessed to be able to educate them, empower them sexually, and most of all, make them laugh. I LOVE to make people laugh. The world needs more laughter, otherwise we'd probably just go around killing each other.

I totally believe that monogamy should never equal monotony and anything that spices up a couple's love-life if good! I've been with my husband long enough to know that there are some days that I'd rather wing a bagel off his forehead than sleep with him one more time, and if a little cream dabbed in interesting places makes me all warm for his form, well then bring it on, sister!!

My husband has been married to me long enough to know that if a toy of a vibrating variety makes me more inclined to do the horizontal boogie with him and doesn't replace him altogether, then all the better for him!!

He also enjoys his status as personal product tester. Yes, through the day he is a boring plasterer, but at night he gets to put stuff on his junk and tell me how it feels! It's kind of like being at the optometrist: "Better A, or B.... A, or B. Now 1, or 2.... 1, or 2."

Personally I think we have more fun now that we did as newlyweds. We're the couple that makes people want to vomit--yes, we're just that happy most of the time.

I'll be posting product reviews (not necessarily from a personal point of view, if you know what I mean-- some things need to be kept private!) introducing new products, offering sales and discounts, and posting educational material, so check back often!

I'm not sure how to end this blog. I have the incredible urge to write, "Ya'll come back now, hear?" but that's really lame, so I'm just going to leave you with my favorite line from one of the all-time greatest songs:

"Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?"
