dievca is still on the hunt for Chrissie Hynde’s Collar. In the meantime, this BLUE NILE sterling silver padlock necklace can add a hint of BDSM to one’s daily Life.
This edgy, BLUE NILE, sterling silver necklace has a working padlock that functions as the clasp.
Wear it layered or on its own, this necklace is a fun and stylish flair in your wardrobe.
dievca remembers stopping by farm stands in the Midwestern Summers to buy fresh produce. There was even a place that dievca’s Mother found to dig up and buy mushrooms – a dark, musty space with soil.
As she was driving to the Delaware River dievca spotted similar stands along the road in New Jersey, she forgot to stop on her way back to NYC.
The NYC farm stands are not as good as the local ones, but they offer a reminder and convenient option to eat healthily.

When dievca lived in Europe she stopped to see friends who were packing to move to Switzerland. The wife, who was Irish, offered dievca a glass of wine and was about to pour it into a plastic cup – they were packing to move. The husband, who was French, went meltdown and dug through the kitchen boxes to find the proper wine glasses. Ever since then, dievca has tried to offer the proper glass for a specific drink type. she won’t drink out of the can. But, on the other hand, she has broken beer and wine glasses on the rooftop. It is a mess.
Having a wine outside by the pool or on the rooftop may be the Highlight of this COVID-19 Summer.
Meeting friends for a 2-meter spacing dinner in a park calls for easy to carry, easy to eat food and accouterments.
Breaking a wine glass and having to clean it up – would just add to the 6 feet spacing stress.
Unbreakable Outdoor Rubber Wine Cups: 14 oz, Clear Silicone. 100% Dishwasher Safe, Shatterproof, can for easy carrying or storage. Solid grip, stable on the table. Replaces the one-use plastic.
she does wonder what Marius would say about the silicone….
The NYC Gay Pride March scheduled for June 28, 2020, was canceled due to COVID-19. The march was inaugurated on June 28, 1970 – it would have been the 50th Year. There will be virtual celebrations and WABC in New York will be broadcasting NYC Pride programming the month of June.
“We are a community that thrives when we are united,” added Correa. “We may not fill the streets of New York City this year, but LGBTQIA+ people carry pride with them all year long.
I have no doubt that we will be together again soon.”

Do you own an apron? Do you use it while BBQ-ing or baking?
dievca has never owned one. she’s not sure of what she is missing Her friends have laughed at her and asked what she does for dinner parties. she cooks, changes, and hopes for the best afterward.
What about an Apron as a D/s Presentation Outfit?
Hmm, could be interesting but one might need to be careful when sitting or leaning against the countertop.
dievca found the apron she wants:
The RE/DONE | Levi’s Denim Apron is created from scraps of vintage Levi’s, reducing production waste and creating functional, machine washable, and collectible kitchen-wear. Each apron is upcycled using a waterless process from unique vintage materials and is completely one-of-a-kind.

Kozi Neck Shoulder Wrap $50.95 – click for the original site.
Years ago, dievca picked up this Kōzi Neck & Shoulder Wrap in TJMaxx on clearance for $12. It sat in its box for a year or more until dievca realized that heat really helps her aches and pains. Ever since that moment – its been in heavy rotation.
The wrap is handcrafted using natural herbs and grains to relieve stress, tension, cramps, and muscle discomfort. You can microwave (2 minutes) or freeze for instant therapy. dievca has ice packs, so she hasn’t frozen the wrap.
$50.95 + shipping seems to be a really high price for the wrap – so dievca found it elsewhere for a better price – if you are not choosy about color: Click here for chocolate, lavender or plum at $16.43 +shipping.
There are other shapes available, but this one hugs the neck and upper back nicely – then you can wrap it around a calf, knee /hamstring or sit on it for lower back or glute issues. dievca wouldn’t go for another shape. she doesn’t have the room for multiple pieces.
It’s been really great on text neck/computer neck. And a good option for Aftercare.
cryotherapy and thermotherapy
Ice is for injuries — calming down damaged superficial tissues that are inflamed, red, hot, and swollen. The inflammatory process is a healthy, normal, natural process that happens to be painful and more biologically stubborn than it needs to be. Icing is a drugless way of dulling the pain of inflammation and taking swelling down a bit. Examples of use: a freshly pulled muscle or a sprained ankle.
Heat is for muscles, chronic pain, and stress — taking the edge off symptoms like muscle aching and stiffness, which have many causes including overuse and arthritis. Chronic pain, especially back pain, often involves lots of tension, anxiety, hypervigilance, and central sensitization. Comfortable heat can soothe a jangled mind and nervous system.
Heat therapy is an effective remedy for back pain because it boosts circulation, which then allows nutrients and oxygen to travel to joints and muscles. This circulation helps repair damaged muscles, relieves inflammation, and improves back stiffness. Any type of heat therapy can help relieve back pain.

Breathtaking cascades of hand-beaded gold glass trailing fringe beads and pearls drench the body with pure decadence in the Cassiopeia gold beaded robe; with all seams luxuriously bound in gold silk. Worn alone, the sheer tulle beneath offers glimpses of the skin, or pair with either black or almond silk lining robes to create a more opaque finish. The luxurious beaded robe could also be worn over a simple evening dress for a jaw-dropping outerwear look.
The one review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Completely Decadent!
This robe is the most decadent, fabulous thing I own! It’s even more beautiful in person, dripping with strings of glistening gold beads made for twirling.
Fit-wise the size M is the same as the other H&F robes I own. The color of the beads is a lovely soft gold with pearls at the end. The beads are securely sewn on individually to the tulle base. I imagine styling it over both lingerie and as outerwear over a cream jumpsuit for a winter white ensemble for the ballet.

dievca was doing a search for silk jersey lingerie. Silk jersey is delicate, smooth, and softer than a t-shirt, the weave of silk jersey allows it to stretch gently like normal cotton underwear. However, silk has optimal air permeability over cotton and most other fibers. It has a luster and demure sophistication.
During the search, dievca ran into Erica Waddell’s Etsy site for custom clothing including lingerie. The site offers an option to choose your type of silk jersey panties – so which type is best?
9 Essential Underwear Every Woman Should Own & What To Wear Them With
Just as a strapless bra is essential when you’re wearing a summer tube dress, seamless underwear is important when you’re wearing a pencil skirt. Here are some suggestions for different types of underwear and what you should pair them with:
1. Boy Shorts
Inspired by men’s boxers, boy shorts tend to be comfortable. They are functional and can be worn with skirts, as well as flared dresses.
2. Classic Briefs
These are regular underwear. The ones you buy in a pack of three or five. You can pair them with almost anything as long as your outfit is not body-hugging because then your panty lines would be on display. Wear with a pleated skirts or jeans.
3. Hipsters
These panties are low-rise and have wide coverage on the sides. They go with almost everything. So make sure you have more than just a couple of them. Wear them with pants and low-waisted jeans.
4. Thongs
Nothing says sexy like thongs do. They’re the perfect underwear type for outfits where the bump of your panty line can ruin the line. Wear a thong with pencil skirts and bodycon dresses.
5. French-Cut Panties
Also known as high-cut panties, these are very 1980s retro. They have a high cut on the leg holes, which makes them better for circulation from the regular ones. They go superbly well with high-waist jeans
6. G-String
They’re very similar to thongs, but these have absolutely no coverage. They’re meant for times when you would like to go commando, but then you would also like some sort of coverage. A little getting used to is required to be perfectly comfortable with this type. Wear with leggings and bodycon dresses.
7. Control Briefs
These are super comfortable and all about functionality. They come with a tight elastic waistband to keep your excess in. They help with bodycon dresses and high waist jeans.
8. Seamless
This is one type of panty that everyone should keep on hand. They don’t have stitching on them, making them perfect for every type of dress. Good with pants and sheer dresses.
9. Brazilian Briefs
They have the qualities of both a hipster and a thong. And they are just what you need when you’re vacationing on the beach. Wear them with shorts or a sarong.
Hmm-tough to make a decision….boy shorts, hipsters, briefs or Grannies!

Definition 1 of Unicorn related to the BDSM Lifestyle:
There’s a term nearly everybody in the Swinger world, the BDSM world, and the Polyamorous world is familiar with, summarized in one neat, pretty, sparkly mental image of one word: Unicorn. On the surface it’s a simple term, relating to the mythical creature of lore that is rumored to exist but is nearly impossible to find. Furthermore, once found, it’s nearly impossible to keep, for, after all, nobody can really own a unicorn. (credit absinthepassion.wordpress.com )
Definition 2:
Colloquial; Synonym for hot or Bi babe or HBB, often derogatory, condescending, or ironic. A bisexual person usually though not always female, who is willing to join an existing couple, often with the presumption that this person will date and become sexually involved with both members of that couple, and not demand anything or do anything which might cause problems or inconvenience to that couple.
The term is often used to be dismissive of a couple seen to be only superficially polyamorous. Because of the demands that this type of couple places on the woman (that she be single and not take on any additional partners, and become involved with both members of the couple equally, and often “complete” their family as a surrogate mother and housekeeper and/or breadwinner and not do anything that may threaten or disrupt the existing couple), many in the poly community call this type of woman a ‘Unicorn’, as in mythical and not likely to be found, even though there are plenty of bi-poly women around.
Sometimes the unicorn is expected to not develop any emotional attachment and is strictly there for a sexual relationship (equally distributed to both members of the dyad) and/or is prescripted as a secondary. This term is used as a reminder that bi-poly women are people with their own desires, needs, and pre-existing lives, and not fantasy figures or pets.

dievca took herself out of her Mother’s house to avoid — well, let’s just say she had to kill three hours. Masked and gloved she got gas, ran to CVS (pharmacy), and wandered Wal-Mart.
Her sister-in-law is disdainful about purchasing anything from Wal-Mart, but dievca rolls with it. she was able to get some lovely “grateful” cards to use as “Thank You” notes for people who acknowledged her Dad’s passing. Much sweeter and happier than the regular notes.
she was also able to get something stylish, eco-friendly, inexpensive, and of use.
