Happy Valentine's Day…. Grandma Felicia always told me…
"The fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach"…and she was right!
Who doesn't love Nutella? It has been a favorite of mine for many years, and has been a staple in my family's pantries for as far back as I can remember. I can still see it lined up neatly on the second shelf, and left -hand side, of the center aisle of my grandfathers' Italian variety store, Pats Center Grocery. I still enjoy the snack my Nona Rose prepared for me during my many visits to the store after school. Back then, most children snacked on PB&J after school, but Italian kids…we snacked on Italian toast with Nutella!
Today Nutella is gaining popularity, and justifiable so! It's rich, creamy, chocolate, nutty flavor is out of this world delicious all on its own…but did you know combined with 2 other simple ingredients you could make one of the most decadent desserts known to mankind…Talk about "the fastest way to a man's heart" …It's only 3 ingredients away!
Nutella Brownies with Nutella Butter Cream Frosting and Macerated Strawberries
Nutella Brownie Ingredients:
1 cup Nutella Hazelnut spread

Nutella Butter Cream Frosting Directions:
Step 1: combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, whip 2 minutes or until a creamy light textured frosting is formed
Step 2: transfer frosting a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, reserve in refrigerator
Nutella Brownie Directions:
Step 1: combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment
Step 2: beat 1 minute on a medium speed (batter will be very thick)
Step 3: generously grease and flour an 8×8 tart pan (I prefer to use Baker's Joy non-stick spray)
Step 4: using a rubber spatula, transfer and evenly spread batter
Step 5: bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes
Step 6: remove from oven and cool 20 minute

Step 8: using a pastry bag, fix 5 large dollops of Nutella frosting 1 inch from the outer edge of the brownie an, and top each dollop with 1 whole strawberry
Step 9: pipe frosting around the top edge of the brownie
*Note: practice your pastry bag piping skills on a piece of wax paper
Step 10: Slice into 5 equal slices, garnish with macerated strawberry
*Note: alternative serving option… omit Nutella frosting and simply dust the top of the Nutella Brownie with a generous dusting of confectioners' sugar, and garnish with whipped cream and a generous portion of macerated sliced strawberries
You've heard me rail on about the world's greatest lobster roll for four years now.
We've dismantled countless frou frou high brow chefs and food bloggers who couldn't leave perfection alone and had to go and mess up the perfect lobster roll with such atrocious ingredients as paprika, celery, lettuce, relish onion, pickles, avocado and such ridiculous platforms for rolls such as French baguette rolls and anadama bread.
Yu can read about all those abortions these dopes tried to pass off as lobster rolls here-
But what I'm about to tell you is going to turn a lot of what I'm saying on it's head I guess. Or another way to look at it is actually more accurate in that as I've told you from the beginning- that simplicity and not overthinking the lobster roll and it's perfection is the way to go so simplifying in the way I'm going to explain actually falls right inline with what I've been saying.
Night before last the Mrs asks me to bring home some lobster so she can make lobster rolls. She tells me she wants to try something different than her traditional recipe.
I brought home 5 lbs of medium shell lobster and she made two lobster rolls based off her original recipe-
Posted on April 28, 2008 by Joey C
Ingredients For The Worlds Greatest Lobster Roll, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Has to be Cains mayo, and hot dog rolls so you can grill them to a golden brown with the unsalted butter.
Notice there is no lettuce, paprika, celery or any other filler. If anything else appears in your lobster roll, you have an inferior lobster roll.
steam the lobsters and shuck the meat
tear the meat into 1/2 inch chunks or so and mix with cains mayo
once lobster and mayo is chilled, butter each side of cheap hot dog rolls (the kind you tear apart)
you do not want to use any goddamn baguette or crusty overpowering roll
you want white bread tear apart soft hot dog rolls
once you butter the sides of the hot dog rolls with SALTED butter you pan brown the roll so its warm and golden brown
just barely browned but the roll should still be very soft
then load up your cool lobster/mayo filling into the warm soft buttery roll and you have yourself the perfect lobster roll
note- NO LETTUCE- NO CELERY-NO PAPRIKA- NO FANCY CRUSTY FRENCH ROLL
Leave out the mayo and serve with hot drawn salted butter drizzled over the top of the cooked lobster meat inside the grilled buttered bun.
It actually intensifies the taste of the lobster instead of masking a bit of it with the mayo.
It's now the official recipe of the World's Greatest Lobster Roll.
Best lobster roll pictured in back.

Anyone have a good spicy recipe for what to do with the fresh catch?
By the way, now that the Audubon Society runs the lot at the breakwater, don't forget that it costs $5.00 to park there for the day!
As for access, tell the guard at the gate by Niles Beach that you're headed for the breakwater. There's a public right of way along the AEPR (Association of Eastern Point Residents) private speed-bumped roads.
As for Niles Pond, it's a Great Pond open to public use.
A few short clips from our cooking class in Ravello Italy with Mamma Agata and daughter Chiara
and here are some pictures from their amazing home-
From The GDT:
Felicia Mohan grew up waiting for Easter so she could eat these cookies her grandmother made. After her grandmother retired in Florida and was no longer around for Easter, her Aunt assumed the responsibility and now she has herself. The secret is to use this Italian pastry dough recipe, decorate your own Easter eggs with your kids, make a simple frosting using fresh lemon, and top with brightly colored sprinkles.

From The Gloucester Daily Times-
When Felicia was growing up this special recipe was prepared by her Aunt "FeFe", Vincie and Uncle Mike (Militello). Now she makes it herself and passes along the family's recipe secrets. The main ingredients are cauliflower, fava beans, and the ferns on top of the anise bulbs. In fact, since the grocers and supermarkets typically throw away this part of the plant before even putting it on the shelf, Felicia goes around each year to remind them to avoid that for this special week of St. Joseph's Day so that she and others can properly make the dish.
Her aunt and uncle FeFe and Vincie used to create an alter every St. Joseph's Day and that became very big, so big that many people came each year to pay their respects and eat some of the special pasta dish. The pasta sauce was served over home made St. Joseph fettuccini pasta. What made this St. Joseph Pasta is that all the flower used to prepare the feast was blessed by a priest the day before St. Joseph day. It was done, in fact, at a very special mass in Aunt FeFe and Uncle Vincie's home in front of her alter. You cannot get much more authentic than that.
You can read my buddy Heather Atwood's article about Felicia and St Joseph's Traditions here-
From the Gloucester Times Taste of The Times-
According to Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan this dish is "the Highlight of our Christmas Dinner" and guarantees that it will be the "best shrimp you will ever taste." Unlike many of her recipes, this one is not from her Grandmother but rather from her mother.
What makes it so good? Read below to see.

From The Times Taste of The Times website-
If you grew up in a Sicilian or Italian household or ever went to one at this time of year you may remember these treats. These are an Italian holiday treat that you can make ahead and leave in serving dishes around your house. The way that Felicia (Ciaramitaro) Mohan makes them, based on her Grandmother Felicia's recipe, are little bites of fried dough slathered in a honey/Kayo syrup mixture and topped with bits of chocolate, toasted nuts and fresh cinnamon.
We called roasted chestnuts "castangees" and used to warn everyone not to eat too many because they would make you get the big time farts.
At the Gloucester Daily Times Taste of The Times They Are Featuring Felicia's Video Recipes Of Our Uncle Charlie's Baked Stuffed Topnecks. This was our Uncle Charlie's recipe and is hands down absolutely my number one of all times favorite things to eat.
Read that again- MY NUMBER ONE ALL TIME FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT.
Follow her instructions precisely. Do not try to get creative. Do not get a different type of clam, the size matters. Order them at Intershell for your holiday.
You've seen all the pictures I've taken of all the great things I like to eat, right?
Let me say it one more time for emphasis-
Frankly I'm surprised she's sharing this with the world. It deserves to be locked up in a high security vault.
From the Gloucester Daily Times-
To Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan this recipe is very special. Her uncle Charlie began making this recipe for her family many years ago. It's become a family tradition. Unfortunately Uncle Charlie passed away and will be sorely missed by everyone this Christmas and so this year this tradition has even more meaning to her family. "I know every family member will think of Uncle Charlie while enjoying every last clam."
Click here for the recipe and video
We've been eating these every Christmas since I can remember and every Christmas it is the first thing we eat. people that show up late miss out and the rhetoric is always the same-
All the men who know will say to the newcomers-
"You may not want to try these, they taste funny" It's a ploy to try to throw them off so there will be more for me. Of course they catch on by the time we are all pounding down our 10th or 11th baked stuffed topneck.
To Felicia Mohan these sugared cranberries are something that she places along with nuts all around her holiday house. She says that they are "Where sweet meets tart, and a family favorite."
The first thing you have to do is sort a bag of cranberries by removing any that are bruised or overripe, setting aside. Heat 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar to make a simple syrup. Place the cranberries in the heated syrup and place in the refrigerator overnight. The cranberries are going to become slightly soft and some may even split open.
The next day strain your cranberries and place them in a pie dish filled with superfine sugar and roll around until well covered. Remove them carefully with a wire mesh ladle so that you do not disturb them very much. The less you touch them the better they will look.

By Times Staff
Gorgonzola is a favorite cheese to cook with or serve in many Italian homes. It is popular in risotto and on polenta but perhaps nothing is as popular as making this cream sauce and serving over pasta. This is one of Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan's favorite family recipes. Like many, she prefers serving over a short tubular pasta such as penne instead of something like spaghetti or linguine.
Gorgonzola is a blue cheese that originated in Italy sometime around 800 AD, having been originally made by hanging the cheese moulds in large caves to ripen. Today the cheese is manufactured by injecting the moulds right into the cheese as it begins to age. Traditionally, Gorgonzola is made with raw cow's milk, although pasteurized and sheep's milk versions of the cheese are also available. The greenish blue penicillin mould in the cheese imparts a very distinctive sharp and spicy smell that contrasts with the creamy white cheese surrounding it.

The Season Grand Finale Mug Up and Ryan & Woods Distilleries sponsored Bloody Mary Competition on Rocky Neck (in case you didn't already see it, forgot about it, or are on the fence about it), will be on Sunday, October 2 at 10:00 am. Bob Ryan has very generously donated some awesome prizes for the creators of the winning Bloody Mary entries, including coasters, t-shirts, and Ryan & Woods Beauport Vodka (!!). Also, for those planning to enter a Bloody Mary mix, so that we level the playing field and judging is based solely on presentation and mix, and no drink is heavy handed on the alcohol (it will be 10:00 am after all, and we have to protect our judges from inebriation), Beauport Vodka will be conservatively added to all mixes here before they go to the judges and attendees. So no one has to go out and buy vodka and everyone's entries will be made with only the best locally distilled Ryan and Woods Beauport Vodka. Entrants only need bring a container of their best Bloody Mary mix creation and a glass with preferred garnishes for presentation to the judges. In the best interest of judging time and the judges' alcohol levels, we will limit the number of entries to eight. Of course, entrants must be 21 years of age or older. As always at Mug Up, there will be plenty of great coffee, deviled eggs and whatever other Mug Up type fare people bring along to share. Always a good time and everyone is welcome at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck at Madfish Wharf. 10:00 am
Finally, there will be a Big Blow Out End of Season and Early Holiday Shopping Sale at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery from Saturday, 10/1 through Columbus Day, 10/10. There will be many items under $20 to choose from. Wendie Demuth Photography Gallery next door will also be slashing prices and she and other Madfish Wharf denizens have many great furniture pieces, clothes, household items, fishing gear and more for sale under the tent at Madfish Grille. Plenty of free parking, and it is such a pretty and cool place to visit. Other galleries and shops on Rocky Neck are still open too, so it's a great time to visit and do some local unique holiday shopping while supporting your local art community.

Artwork-in-motion makes its debut (Cincinnati Enquirer, November 2, 2014)
With the renovation of the former Art Academy building complete, the Art Museum will embark on Phase B of its Vision Master Plan. Phase B will let the Art Museum use spaces that come free after the move to the Art Academy building to expand the Cincinnati Wing, create new galleries, and a new education center. The Rosenthal Education Center will be located in the heart of the Art Museum comprising 2,300 square feet of space. We hope you will share in our excitement as we plan for these major changes.
The Art Museum's new Rosenthal Education Center will be situated in the heart of the Art Museum, where the former Mary R. Schiff Library and Archives was previously located. The new space will include more square feet dedicated to educational activities for individuals and families visiting the Art Museum. With staff offices relocated to the Longworth Wing and painting storage moved to an offsite facility, the Education Center will be surrounded by newly created or renovated galleries. The addition of new galleries will expand the Cincinnati Wing and the collections on display, while also greatly improving the Art Museum's public circulation route. This improved circulation route will enable visitors to travel from gallery to gallery and experience our collection in a more cohesive way. Renovation work in the new gallery spaces and Rosenthal Education Center began in June 2014 with an expected completion date of early 2015.
Thanks to a gracious donation made in honor of the Cincinnati Art Museum Volunteers, our Main Lobby underwent renovations in July 2014. The design is the result of a collaboration with Macy's, providing a friendly, visitor-centered space, with a new coffee bar, lounge area and expanded Museum Shop. The transformed lobby furthers our mission of bringing people and art together. Stop by the now centrally-located Visitor Services desk to find out more about the Art Museum's continued transformation, receive information about Museum Membership, or to just relax with a coffee and friends.
The Terrace Café also received a new look, made possible by a gift from Marty and Nick Ragland. The Café reopened in July 2014 with upgraded features and new artwork to accompany your dining experience. Stop by and experience the new space indoors or take advantage of the beautiful weather and views of the Alice Bimel Courtyard by dining on our outdoor terrace. As always, Art Museum Members receive a 10% discount when dining in the Terrace Cafe.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A Nevada judge has seated a jury for a high-profile murder trial in the deadly casino shootout between rival motorcycle gangs that triggered a local state of emergency nearly two years ago.
Eight men and seven women were selected Tuesday afternoon to serve as the 12 jurors and three alternates, and lawyers on both sides were prepared to give their opening statements later in the day in Washoe District Court in Reno.
Ernesto Gonzalez, ex-president of the Vagos' chapter in Nicaragua, is accused of killing Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew, the former head of the Hells Angels in San Jose, Calif.
Prosecutors say it was an organized hit. Defense lawyers say Gonzalez acted in self-defense during the melee that turned a Sparks casino floor into a shooting gallery on Sept. 23, 2011.

My inner Monarch; or something along those lines. You seem to be contemplating the intricate detail of the butterfly's detail – its life cycle or metamorphosis .. the reflection of the colour in the water most certainly contributes to the reflections of self in this… It is as though you admire this tiny creature's perfection and through that see your own. A magnificent work.

Modern bathroom design is becoming increasingly popular. Contemporary themes offer a wonderful alternative to more traditional designs and also produce a youthfully sophisticated aesthetic. But what features distinguish modern bathroom vanities from other styles?
Clean Line, Simple Design
Contemporary vanities are distinguished by their clean lines and deceptively simple design. Modern vanities do not have the intricately carved details of antique or traditional design, opting instead for a sleeker, more streamlined look.
Clean and simple does not indicate basic. In fact, many contemporary bathroom vanities offer advanced features such as slow-opening drawers, under cabinet lighting, and high-tech faucets, allowing these pieces of functional bathroom art to offer years of both aesthetic and practical benefits.
At DécorPlanet, we have a wide selection of contemporary bathroom vanities, sinks, and faucets, giving you the choices you need to perfect your space. We encourage you to browse our online selection or visit one of our New York showrooms to learn more about modern bathroom design and find the ideal fit for your home.

BATON ROUGE, La. — The Tiger Stadium clock having just struck zero, his LSU football team on the short end of a 14-10 score to Tennessee, Les Miles walked toward "center field" (his words) to congratulate Volunteers coach Derek Dooley.
"I was miserable," Miles said later. "I was thinking, 'That heart attack's going to happen.' They had just called that other team the winner. Then, wait a minute — no, my team's the winner."
It wasn't quite that simple, of course. Miles wasn't about to shake Dooley's hand when the referees just decided to give the Tigers a victory.
First, they had to throw a penalty flag for the Vols having too many men on the field, which, thankfully, replays showed to be the truth.
Then both teams had to return to the goal line to run what referees termed "an untimed play," since the game can't end on a defensive penalty.
Then LSU still had to cross the goal line, which it did when superb running back Stevan Ridley ran over a stunned Big Orange defense to make the Tigers 16-14 winners in a game that soon caused Dooley to admit, "I have never hurt like this before."
And it's going to hurt these Vols for a long time. Because they probably deserved to win it, if only because LSU richly deserved to lose it.
You really couldn't try harder to lose a game on your home field against an opponent that was a 16-and-a-half-point underdog than LSU did against UT.
After all, the Tigers doubled the Vols in yardage, 434 to 217. They sacked Matt Simms five times. They had eight more first downs and averaged 3.5 more yards per rush than the Vols.
But Miles, the Mad Hatter of college football, watched his team self-destruct time after time, turning the ball over four times to none for the Vols. Beyond that, the play-calling was something only the Vols could love.
Death-row inmates have made better choices than LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton. The Vols never stopping the Tigers when they ran left, he repeatedly had them run right at crucial moments. Or he called for passes that were thrown wildly. Or he watched LSU suffer a penalty because they apparently couldn't decide which bad play to run.
The Tigers are a team with top-10 talent and bottom-10 football intelligence. In the first half alone, they piled up four penalties to one for the Vols. They let a physically inferior West Virginia team hang around a week ago and a suspension-ravaged North Carolina squad nearly rally from a 30-10 deficit in the fourth quarter of their opener.
Some teams play over their heads. LSU plays under its skills. The Tigers are the Phil Mickelson of college football, able to dazzle or frazzle equally.
And because of this certain uncertainty, a solid squad such as this Tennessee can stay in a game against the Tigers far longer than they should, hanging on because LSU allows them to hang in.
Consider this: LSU scored on the first play of the game from 83 yards out and on the last play of the game — or the first play after the last play, depending on how you look at it — and pretty much made a lot of noise signifying nothing the rest of the afternoon.
This time they got away with it. And they may keep getting away with it until it comes time to play Alabama, because other than the Crimson Tide, the Tigers may have the most athletically gifted team in the SEC.
But they play like a team that could be 0-5 instead of 5-0. In Miles' own words, "We're not a very smart football team right now."
UT, of course, was smart almost every moment except the final moment they needed to be smart. Or as CBSsports.com columnist Gary Parish noted Saturday night of the Vols' too many men on the field, "The last time Tennessee had that many players in the wrong place, they were at Bruce Pearl's house."
And because of that, the Vols are once more on the wrong end of a painful, painful loss to LSU. Just like the 2001 SEC title game. And the 2007 SEC title game.
"When the win is stripped from you, or it feels like it was stripped from us, it is worse than losing," said Tennessee linebacker LaMarcus Thompson. "Ten times worse."
Especially when the other guys were also just as sure you'd won.

Total Vaginal Rejuvenation in Natural Way: Tightening, Elasticity, Lubrication and Enhance Female Sexual Arousal
No matter how we improve our sex life, the cost-effective, efficacy and potential adverse effects are things that should be concerned.
In terms of vaginal rejuvenation, there are various methods available in the world. However, the safest, easiest and lowest cost method still in natural ways.
The question is, does the method can give you best outcomes and scientifically proven related to their ingredients, or clinically proved related to the product itself?
Here are some proven natural substances of herbs that beneficial in rejuvenating vaginal tightness and elasticity of the muscle and wall, functions, and health as well backed with scientific evidences.
Pueraria Mirifica
Pueraria mirifica is a plant rich in very active phytoestrogen or natural estrogen.
Estrogenic or steroid hormone activity of their phytoestrogen will work when it enters the cells and activate the estrogen receptors on ovary tissues (when applying to this area) or uterus and other tissues like the breast.
As the results, the structural changes induced by this phytoestrogen includes the thickening of vaginal walls, increase vaginal lubrication, and maintain its elasticity and thickness.
These effects also in-line with basic effects of women's estrogen in the vagina other than many health benefits.
The effects of phytoestrogen from Pueraria mirificia on vagina also studied by some researchers.
One of them, a study from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibody Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, concluded "Pueraria mirifica 100 and 1,000 mg/kg/day showed an estrogen-like effect on the vaginal and urethral epithelium of ovariectomized rats."
Another studies investigated the estrogenic activities of Pueraria mirifica said that the alcoholic extract of Pueraria mirifica roots, that is dichloromethane was the most potent estrogenic activity producing miroestrol that can rejuvenate the vagina followed by their ethanolic extracts. (Fitoterapia. 2008 Dec,19(7-9) 509-14).
These effects do not only beneficial for women who want to rejuvenate their vaginal tightness and elasticity due to childbirth, aging, frequent of sex, and vaginal dryness associated with loosen vagina, but also for women who experienced with vaginal dryness due to their menopausal period that make them suffering from painful sex and not enjoyable or because of breastfeeding, monthly cycles, side effect or oral contraceptives, etc., as well as for women who experienced with vaginal and uterus prolapse in order to restore the tone of vaginal or pelvic muscles.
Another studies evaluated the effects of P. mirifica in the vaginal
health index, vaginal pH, and cells related to structure, function and chemistry of vagina in healthy postmenopausal women concluded, "Pueraria mirifica was proven to exhibit estrogenicity on vaginal tissue, to alleviate vaginal dryness symptoms and dyspareunia, to improve signs of vaginal atrophy, and to restore the atrophy vaginal epithelium in healthy postmenopausal women." (ref).
This means, P. mirifica was not only scientifically proved in restoring vaginal tightness and elasticity, but also has an ability to produce vaginal fluids, against vaginal and/or uterus prolapse, and vaginal health.
Oak gall
Oak is a shrub from Quercus genus that contain lot of tannins – a polyphenolic compound containing plenty of hydroxyl that important in restoring vaginal elasticity and tightening. In medicine, tannin plays an important role in constricting body tissues. In this case, the vaginal tissues. This property were known as Astringent properties.
In addition, it also contains antibacterial properties and some anti-fungal for vaginal health due to its seven methanolic extracts that have showed in several studies like a study archived in the Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2012, 11:11, and aphrodisiac properties that can increase blood flow in the clitoral area either used as a single application or in-combination with other herbs that have similar or supporting works.
While it safe from almost adverse effects, it also easy to make for self-treatment. Detail of home remedy for vaginal rejuvenation with oak galls can be seen on this page.
Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana)
Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is not only a shrub or plant that popular with its astringent properties in the bark and leaves due to rich in phytochemical content of Tannin that can constrict the vaginal tissues causing tighten vaginal walls in second, but also rich in natural phenols – small molecules that make them (tannin) easily diffuse across cell membranes and reach intracellular sites for certain actions such as the constriction effect and better grip outcomes of the vagina.
As the result, Witch hazel offering fast action in tightening vaginal walls.
The natural phenol content of Witch hazel also studied by German researchers published in the Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2011 Aug;401(2):677-88.
In addition, the extracts also contain antiseptic, antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory for better vaginal health.
In fact, due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it also has an ability for anti-toxic to the cells in order to fight colon cancer cells.
Therefore, when extract of Witch hazel combined with other supporting herbs in certain treatment like rejuvenating the vagina, it is not only offering great results, but also better vaginal health.
Curcuma comosa
Curcuma comosa is a plant that beneficial in vaginal health due to its anti-inflammatory properties, tightening vaginal muscles, and maintain vaginal wall prolapse and vaginal dryness due to its phytoestrogen contents.
Most of studies related to female genital organs and women's health come from Thailand as this herb native to Asian countries and popular among people there.
Some of Thailand's studies for women's health archived in the Journal of agricultural and food chemistry 2012 Jan 25;60(3):758-64 from the Department of Physiology, Mahidol University, Bangkok.
The animal (rat) study inspired from a promising therapeutic agents due to its phytoestrogen contents to treat the vascular impairment seen in the menopausal women.
The authors said; "these data suggest that the vascular relaxation effect of C. comosa is mediated via endothelial cells" of ovariectomized rats and indicate a prevention of impairment of vascular relaxation in estrogen-deficient animals as well as promoting anti-inflammatory response.
Other herbs that often used in vaginal rejuvenation and health includes Symplocos racemosa; a plant containing symponoside and often used in Indian System of Medicine (ISM) for various female disorders, and Terminalia chebula with its anti-inflammatory and aphrodisiac properties for enhancing female sexual arousal and vaginal health, and some others.
Therefore, there are various herbs that can be used to overcome loosen vagina or restore vaginal muscle elasticity, vaginal prolapse, vaginal dryness and discharge, and overall health of the vagina. Naturally and proved scientifically.
However, since there are many herbs with certain natural chemical contents, works and 'specialties', it is time-consuming and costly if we should choose all of them to rejuvenate our vagina totally. Moreover, if the formula should be tested and proved clinically. That's another challenge.
V-Tight Gel, one of pure natural gel for vaginal rejuvenation and female sexual enhancement offering ALL-IN-ONE herb formula in cream-form that clinically proved and safe with proper dosage without causing irritation to the vagina or skin around the organ, and great alternative to risky and costly surgery.
While it contains extracts of Oak galls and Witch hazel, V-Tight Gel also contains Arginine.
Arginine is an alpha amino acid that have many health benefits. One of popular benefit is enhance female arousal and sexual performance. It's effectively in regulating blood flow to the female genital area and enhancing female sexual arousal, as well as vitality have been well documented in many medical journals.
Therefore, V-Tight Gel uses it to support whole aspects of female renewal treatment naturally.
For total vaginal rejuvenation, it is very important to support other works in vaginal structures, functions, and health.
It is almost safe when used appropriately. But some adverse effects such as high blood pressure, diarrhea, and restlessness can be occurred when used in excess.
V-Tight Gel also contains citric acid and other supportive ingredients to support rejuvenation, moisturizing, and absorbing.
All of those formula resulting fast reaction in outcomes. In fact, for tightness sensation, it can be felt just few minutes (mostly around five minutes) after administration.

Samantha Morton-Helen Hunt's 'Decoding Annie Parker' Gets U.S. Distribution (EXCLUSIVE)
Entertainment One Films has secured U.S. distribution rights to medical drama "Decoding Annie Parker," which stars Samantha Morton, Helen Hunt and Aaron Paul.
The film will be released day-and-date in theaters and VOD in the summer.
The story centers on two women whose parallel lives are devoted to finding a hereditary link to certain types of breast cancer. Morton portrays the title character, who loses her mother and sister to the disease before facing down cancer herself, while Hunt portrays real-life geneticist Mary-Claire King, who spends 16 years proving her widely dismissed theory that genetics plays a role in some forms of breast cancer.
Annie Parker's husbands are played by Paul and Bradley Whitford. Rashida Jones, Richard Schiff, Alice Eve, Maggie Grace, Marley Shelton, Chris Mulkey and Corey Stoll also star.
The film is cinematographer Steven Bernstein's feature directorial debut from a script he wrote with his son Adam Bernstein and Michael Moss. Bernstein, Keith Kjarval, Clark Peterson and Stuart W. Ross produced.
Mimi Steinbauer's Radiant Films International began selling international rights at the American Film Market.
The deal was negotiated for the filmmakers by UTA Independent Film Group and by exec producer Sidney Powell of Dallas-based Fawkes Partners LP, and for eOne Films U.S. by Sejin Croninger.
"It took seven years to make 'Decoding Annie Parker,' which started out as a film project and evolved into a cause for everyone involved, including the extraordinary cast," Bernstein said. "Both on screen and off, Annie Parker and Mary-Claire King have become beacons of hope and inspiration, and it is so gratifying to find in eOne a distributor that understands the important, funny and uplifting message of this film."
Powell was inspired to create the charity organization BRCA Gene Awareness after meeting Bernstein and seeing the film. She oversaw a series of fundraising screenings of "Decoding Annie Parker" across the U.S. and abroad that helped raise approximately $1 million for breast-cancer charities.

Pat Robertson: Prayer Could've Stopped Tornadoes [VIDEO]
Evangelist Pat Robertson knows why tornadoes decimated parts of the Midwest last week: people didn't pray hard enough.
Evangelist Pat Robertson knows why tornadoes decimated parts of the Midwest last week: people didn't pray hard enough.
Tornadoes wreaked havoc in the middle parts of the US on Friday, killing 39 people in five states. Storms of this force and magnitude can strike in an instant, and typically the only thing you can do if you find yourself in the deadly storm's crosshairs is hope you are able to get to a storm cellar.
However, one woman in the West Liberty, Kentucky area decided to take on a tornado head on with prayer. Judging from the video, some people think her technique may have worked.
If you were affected by the deadly tornadoes that swept across several southern and midwestern states last week but don't have insurance to cover the damage, don't look to Ron Paul for sympathy.
Nature's force is at times awe-inspiring, but often downright scary. A woman in West Liberty, Kentucky experienced this first hand when she captured footage of a huge tornado heading towards her direction.
A powerful storm system that spawned several tornadoes ripped through parts of the Midwest early Wednesday morning, leaving millions of dollars of damage and at least 13 people dead in its wake. Early damage photos are showing that the devastation ranges from mild to severe.

Taylor has raised $750,000 for the Community Foundation of Tennessee and the recent tornado victims by opening her final Speak Now dress rehearsal at the Bridgestone Arena to the public and streaming some of the performance online.
The tornado that slammed Joplin, MO on May 22, like the others around the country recently, has resulted in stunning first-person video accounts. With the popularity of video capability on smartphones (not to mention digital cameras) we are now not only seeing the damage closer than ever, but we are also seeing what it's like to wait for the storm, then experience it.
