Also I have a Kofi (link in blog description) if anyone wants to donate!

With winter break in full swing, you and Rafael were freer to see each other. He already had his next semester planned and had all the time in the world for you. You spent most nights at his place because it was further from campus. Right before Christmas you joined him at a party with his old work buddies, finally meeting the rest of the Squad. Noah was on you like white on rice, never wanting to be away from his best friend. When it was time for bed you put him down and spent time with the adults, no one seemed bothered by the age difference. Except maybe Amanda, but she just took time to warm up Sonny assured you.

Rafael assumed you were going home for Christmas, and you didn’t correct him. He spent the day with his mother and you spent it alone in your apartment trying not to cry. You made him promise to let you know when he was home safely, and when he did you showed up shortly after sobbing.

“Cariño? I thought you went home,” he welcomed you into his warm arms and led you to the sofa.

“I couldn’t afford it, not that I’d want to go back there. I’ve told you the horror stories,” you buried your face in his chest and allowed his scent to calm you.

“Why didn’t you tell me, I would have brought you with me to mami’s,” he kissed your temple and played with your hair.

“Didn’t wanna be a bother,” you shrugged.

“You’re not a bother,” he squeezed you tight.

“Can I stay here tonight, don’t wanna be alone anymore today,” you reached for a tissue and wiped your face.

“Of course,” he smiled and you retired for the night, as close as could be even in your sleep.

The next morning you managed to wake up before Rafael, which was rare, but with your insomnia and erratic sleeping pattern it happened sometimes. After starting the coffee, you hopped in the shower. The smell woke him up, and the sound of water drew him to you. He climbed in behind you and scrubbed your back.

“Good morning guapo,” you turned to rinse your back and stole a kiss.

“Morning,” he mumbled, not fully awake yet. You ushered him under the steaming water and massaged his scalp, finding just the spot to make him softly moan in appreciation. His body was next and before you knew it, you were kissing again.

“I like mornings with you,” you beamed and wrapped around his middle.

“Do you have plans for the rest of break,” he asked out of the blue.

“Just spending time with the sexiest man I know,” you purred.

“Oh I have competition, “he teased.

“Only with yourself,” you winked.

“Come away with me,” he lifted your chin to look you in the eyes.

“Where,” you whispered, suddenly aware of how quiet it was.

“Anywhere you want,” he kissed you under the water stream, the morning only just beginning.

When Rafael said “anywhere” he was hoping for crystal clear waters in the Caribbean or Europe. But your lack of passport made that a problem. You put in an application and left for two weeks in California. He’d be back just in time for faculty meetings and you’d be back to get your books.

The very first thing you did was christen the room by fucking on every surface; the bed, sink, shower, chairs, sofa, desk, and even end tables. That was followed by dinner in a small bistro and a long watch on the beach. Rafael kissed you under the stars and it felt like magic. He refused sex on the beach however, insisting it was illegal and he couldn’t be caught like that. You reluctantly agreed and went back to the room.

Most nights it was nice enough that after midnight when people were asleep, you made love on the balcony. Sometimes against the railing overlooking the city. Sometimes in a chair. Once or twice on a pile of blankets and pillows. The city was fun to explore; you rented a car and went on wild adventures. You did the tourist thing, but also went to places only locals knew about.

One night you had dinner at Rafael’s friend Nick’s place. His kids were over, but he insisted the more the merrier. They adored you as much as Noah did, and Rafael started to think about having kids for the first time in his life. You listened to stories about Nick’s new wife and Rafael teased you went heart eyed.

“I love love Rafi, leave me alone,” you stuck your tongue out. Zara wanted to show you a drawing she did and Gil wanted to show off his new video game. When you came back Rafael and Nick were talking in hushed voices, so you went to help with dishes but his wife waved you away.

“What are you two talking about? I hope not me,” you grabbed a couple forgotten dishes to take to the kitchen.

“Maybe we are,” Nick teased.

“Oh shush you,” you rolled your eyes, he was already becoming a good friend, already asking you to watch his kids if they came to New York to visit since they adored you.

“It’s a surprise,” Rafael winked and said his good byes. When you were leaving, he insisted on driving, something he didn’t normally do. You figured it was because you had more to drink than him and didn’t fight it. You didn’t pay much attention, singing along to the radio and holding Rafael’s hand was all you cared about. Until you didn’t recognize anything, too much sand and not enough buildings.

“I think you went the wrong way love,” you looked around and tried to figure out what happened.

“No I didn’t,” he tapped the gps.

“Well my phone says are hotel is in the opposite direction,” you held it up for him to see.

“Not going to the hotel,” he winked.

“Is this when you finally reveal you’re a serial killer and are going to kill me? Is Nick your murder partner? I knew he liked me too easily,” you chuckled.

“Nothing like that,” he pulled into a parking spot near a beach and led you out of the car.

“Which part,” you teased.

“Nick just likes you because you’re likeable,” he rolled his eyes and led you down the beach, your sandals filling with sand.

“I knew you were a serial killer,” you gave up on your shoes and took them off, glass be dammed.

“Then why are you following me,” he checked his phone then dragged you up a path you’d missed.

“Must like you or something,” you shrugged and came to a halt beside him.

“Surprise,” Rafael motioned to a small cave just off the beach hidden away from the main stretch.

“You’re going to murder me in a cave, how romantic,” you pecked his cheek.

“You wanted sex on the beach, I talked to Nick and he suggested this place,” he beamed and excitedly bounded down the small hill.

“You asked Nick the best place to bone me,” you bit your lip to keep from laughing.

“Yup! His lovely wife suggested in the water and not on the sand. Says you don’t want sand getting in places it shouldn’t.”

“Fair point,” you stripped down and ran into the water.

“Wait for me,” Rafael struggled with his pants.

“Oh no it’s cold,” you screeched and he had to drag you further in. Just inside the mouth of the cave, it was warmer. Your feet could touch the bottom, the water coming just to your chest. The night sky was illuminated with a full moon as Rafael hungrily kissed you pressed into the cave wall. You stroked him, enjoying the moans slipping from his lips.

“I need you,” he growled and lifted you into his arms, your legs locked behind him and he lowered you down onto his length. His mouth attached to your neck as he rocked in and out of you. Rafael was slow at first, taking his time with you. But soon his instincts took over and he was pounding into you. Your arms wrapped around him to keep from falling but still met him with every thrust.

You came first, screaming his name into the darkness, it echoing around you. Rafael was close behind you with a grunted shout. He sat you back on your feet, and your knees buckled. He caught you and you both laughed. One more lingering kiss and you went back to hotel, thankful there were extra towels in the backseat.

On your last full day in California, you were pouting on the balcony when Rafael returned with coffee. He knew not to press you, instead you enjoyed the sunrise together in silence. When you finally went inside to get dressed, he decided it was time.

“What’s wrong,” he pulled you backwards and tight against him.

“We can be a real couple here,” you hung your head, “I don’t want to return to reality.”

“Me either,” he spun you around and hugged you.

“It’s not fair,” you sighed.

“I uh reviewed the rules,” Rafael leaned back to look down at you, “And there technically isn’t a rule about dating a student.”

“Really,” your eyes lit up.

“I’m not saying we should go around making out in class…but like the dean said, we can be discreet and it will be fine.”

“I love you,” you yanked his head to yours and kissed him passionately, all tongue and teeth.

“I love you too,” Rafael’s eyes sparkled when you broke apart to breathe, “Going home doesn’t change that.”

“It better not,” you wagged your finger in his face and stripped to change.

“Let’s spend the day naked in bed eating room service,” he suggested and threw his clothes to join yours.

“Put that giant tub to use one more time,” you raised your eyebrows suggestively.

“Absolutely,” he tackled you onto the bed, sending you into a fit of giggles.

DIY ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS

Essential Oils have surely changed our lives for good. With the aroma, the beauty and the health benefits, one cannot stop using essential oils once included in the lifestyle. I find my oils to be my personal therapist that uplifts both my skin and my mood whenever I want to. Yet no matter how much variety of the oils I have, being a creative person I feel like adding a personal touch to it. So, I turn to my Essential oils blends depending upon my mood and purpose, which I prepared myself after I became a loyal user of the essential oils. So I would like to share some of the DIY Essential Oil Blends which are super easy to use but will create a lot more difference to your life.

GUIDE TO ESSENTIAL OILS:

So, if you are new to the enchanting world of aroma and oils, no problem! It won’t take time to be covered in its love. If you are already reading this, well I’m super excited to share my DIY blend recipes with you. Let me tell the newcomers, what exactly a blend is and how it is more effective than a normal essential oil.

As it is obvious that a blend is made by adding two or more essential oils together, but the thing is..Which oils and how much? There are thousands of essential oils in the world and each have their own unique properties, how can we decide which we want. Well..honestly you’ve gotta explore!!

There are some tips for making the initial purchases for your oils:

Start with the common oils that you generally hear people using. These are popular for a reason. Each drop of an essential oil is derived from a large quantity of the plant, thus it is highly concentrated. You should start with the safest of oils and mild ones after researching and reading the reviews of others. A totally alien oil may leave you clueless both in terms of its properties and aroma.!!

Always make sure that you have a Carrier oil at home before an essential oil. As stated above essential oils are highly concentrated and cannot be used without dilution in a suitable carrier oil. Carrier oils include Almond oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, argan oil, castor oil, etc.

Never buy oils from unauthentic sources. Always prefer trusted brands and even if you want to try new because that pretty friend of yours recommended, ask for specifications or certificate. If you are going to use oil for topical purposes, the purest of product should be allowed to go deep into your skin and not cheaper fake oil. Sva naturals is a trusted and verified brand and my absolute favourite. HBNO is also a very reputed brand. So you may buy from here.

A patch test on hand before actual application is always recommended before the use to see how the skin is reacting to it. The test should also be with the diluted oil.

After you’ve got the oils, bring clarity on how do you want to use it. Though the thing is, it can be used anywhere!! My mom uses Rosemary and argan blend for her head massage and my friend uses Lavender- Clary sage blend in her YOGA studio. A cousin of mine prefers sandalwood and frankincense blend in his office diffuser. My niece makes amazing fragrant candles using different blends of her own. All purchased from SVA Organics, we really don’t want to switch to other brand.

So there are hundreds of ways to use these oils. And the best way is YOURS. Yes, you heard me right! Because whatever purpose they solve, they are therapeutic and safe to use. With everything adulterated around us, these are still keeping us closer to nature and pure oils are absolute magic

So here are my few blends which I have been using for some time now and it’s working really well.

MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR BLENDING:

· Gloves Since the essential oils are highly concentrated, they are better off the skin before dilution!

· Droppers or Glass pipets To easily pour and to avoid the unnecessary spill or mixing of oils, get few droppers of glass pipets preferably separate for each oil.

· Glass bottles, containers or cups In size from 1 oz to 8 oz, get few glass containers for mixing of oils and storage as well. Try to avoid plastic containers as the oils may react so we prefer glass.

· Blotting Paper or Cotton Balls We might have a steady hand but, spills happen and we don’t really like stains.

· Notepad You may wanna write your own amazing blends too. So before they vanish from your mind, just write them down.

MY DIY ESSNTIAL OIL BLENDS:

These are few Essential oil blend recipes that I religiously follow and witness amazing changes. A beautiful fragrance is equal to a happy mood. Essential oils are like individual colors which have their own quality but blends is like a painting. It makes sense and creates beauty when used and made the right way. My absolute favourite brand is SVA ORGANICS who manufactures, supply and export the oils worldwide in all kinds of quantities. I have purchased a number of oils from SVA ORGANICS and they are all worth it.

So research, try and use the blends for your purpose and share your experience with me. Blend with the Essential oil blends!!!
