Thema’s Tip: As a Luxury Bartender, I can tell you that cheap vodka will ruin a cocktail. Therefore, always go for premium vodka such as Grey Goose®.

The upper portion of the Motus, which means Motion, has a highly breathable, fast-drying, open screen mesh and minimal anatomical support strapping. The midsole has dual-density medial posting to the forefront and an anti-friction, anti-bacterial sockliner, which accommodates orthotics. Lastly, the outsole is made of high-density rubber and has minimal surface area contact. The slip-proof laces, webbing, insole topcover, shoebox, and packaging are all 100% recycled products.

As a personal trainer, I have come across many running shoes. However, the Motus has been the best fitting, high performance sneaker I have ever jogged in. Some shoes use a high sticker price as a gimmick. Newton Running does not. It’s top-of-the-line stability shoe is absolutely worth the price.

Thema’s Tip: Choosing the proper running shoe based on your running gait is crucial. Before choosing which Newton Running model is best for you, check out this video. What is the most you have ever paid for a running shoe?

Susan, I am a 21-year old female. I have been with my partner for nearly four years, but over the past 5 months or so my sex drive has gone down the drain. I can’t seem to kick start it again. ~ D.V.

Dear D.V.,

There are a lot of factors happening here: duration of relationship, gynecological issues, stress, and age. Any relationship that has lasted over a year could start exhibiting troubling signs in the boudoir. Sex could become boring to one or both partners due to lack of variety, and it could become more of a routine rather than something exciting to do. Both factors could lead to a low drive. Talk to your partner about adding variety, spontaneity, and spice to your sex life.

Hormonal imbalance or other issues dealing with a woman’s health can affect her drive. You may want to check with your ob/gyn to make sure that nothing is going on physically that is causing your low drive.

If this change started 5 months ago, was there an event that occurred back then that could have affected your drive? Changes at school, work, and home can be stressful, and stress affects your drive. Take a moment to analyze what is different now from 5 months ago.

Lastly, you started this relationship when you were 17. Could it be that as you have matured, the relationship has run its course? Sit down with your partner to see if the both of you are still on the same page.

You have 4 options to consider. Hopefully you can put your drive into overdrive.

Whip of Luxury,

Mistress Susan

Do you ever dream about saying an enthusiastic “Peace Out” to your employer because you are tired of the rat race? I became a rat race rebel (RRR) in 2003, and I have never looked back.
