1 Upbringing 

One of the first things we need to deal with are the mixed messages we received and internalized in our formative years. A perfect example of one such negative message we received as children and young adults was from the grownups in our lives who said, ‘don’t let boys touch you … don’t be promiscuous’ …  ‘all boys/men want is sex’ … ‘why buy the cow’, etc. etc. So, not only was sex itself something negative, now we’re cows!?

This negative commentary around sex may have been directed mostly at the girls, but the boys heard it loud and clear as well. Many many women have had the experience, growing up, of trying to verbalize our interest in sex, or acting on an attraction, only to be accused of being ‘too forward’ and made to feel humiliated about it. That being comfortable and open about our sexuality meant we were promiscuous, even unnatural.

What about that ‘dangerous’ male sex drive? While, statistically, it is true that most men think about sex every few minutes—it turns out that women think about it too—a lot. (This is a whole area for a separate conversation 🙂

Although many of the messages women have received; that our sex drive has to be repressed, that the body is dirty and we don’t talk about it, have made us uncomfortable to start, or even join in the conversation … we need to talk!

Why Now? Because the time has come to change history …

2 Conditioning and Religious Mores

–religious beliefs can infiltrate our perceptions of sex  

From the way sex was spoken about in church, temple and school to the laws passed today, sexual perceptions, choices and beliefs have been made for you since birth.

Depending on how fierce the religious climate was that you were brought up in, there was a laundry list of sex-related, sex-negative ‘SHALT NOTS’ that you would have been taught. For instance; God hears all lustful thoughts, sex before marriage is immoral and punishable with hellfire, that masturbation is dirty, homosexuality (“sodomy”) is a perversion and abortion is murder, to name a few …

The views of religions and religious believers vary widely, from giving sex and sexuality a negative connotation to believing that sex is the highest expression of the divine. Some religions distinguish between morally acceptable sexual activities, practiced for biological reproduction (usually only allowed within a formal marital status and at a certain age), while other sexual activities, practiced purely for pleasure, are immoral.

Even if religion played a fairly minor role in your home life, the laws of the land very likely reflected (and often still reflect) a lot of those religious attitudes. If you are a woman, (or homosexual) an awful lot of effort over the millennia has gone into using religion/law to control your body and your life.

3 Societal  pressures and backward thinking 

We still live in a Patriarchal society that needs to be modified…

If you doubt that there is still a lot of work to be done, just read the comment section on a Twitter feed or YouTube video that deals with women being sexually liberated—or strong, or equal, or even funny, etc. etc. and you will be instantly plunged back into the dark ages of society’s perspective on women and how they should behave. Those anonymous keyboard warriors are happy to let you know what they really think!

For all the positive benefits of being connected by social media and the internet, it has also made us even more constantly vulnerable to negative societal pressures. We need to stay strong and positive and continue working on a society where women are equal. A society where women feel safe to:

• act on their genuine desires (in and out of bed!)
  
• define for themselves who they are as women and as human beings
  
• tell their authentic stories
  
• dress how they want
  
• do all this without fear, judgement or shame from men or other women

Orgasm And Orgasm Equality are a Cultural Issue 

Women’s Right’s and the Sexual Revolution are tied together and there is confusion around both. This has created quite the cultural conundrum …

4 Unfamiliar with our own anatomy

–not knowing what we want and what’s possible 

Sometimes, it is made to seem like the only thing more complicated and mysterious than IKEA instructions is the female anatomy, especially when it comes to sex! Why?

A story many female friends have shared is the memory of the first time a tampon ad come on TV while the whole family was watching (including dad and brothers) and it was—mortifying! Again, why? Was it because we never talked about women’s bodies, let alone how they worked? Periods were tied to being a grown up sexual woman and the squeamish, embarrassed reaction of the males around us (and even some of the women), told us it was supposed to be secret, even shameful information.

Periods, childbirth, sex—it was enough to have boys covering their ears and girls left trying to work out their blossoming sexual desires in relation to their suddenly scary and somehow embarrassing (at the time) female bodies. That mental and emotional disconnect between the harmless swooning crushes of ‘pure’ romantic love (nice) and the hormone-driven, fluid-filled realities (even nicer!) of bodies engaged in grownup sex had begun.

How do we go beyond such an inadequate start with school and family and society? We need to be knowledgable about, comfortable with and proud of our own anatomy and what it can give us. We need to know who to trust to give us the right information…

We can help with that!

5 Communicating with your partner

–are you still ashamed/embarrassed to ask for what you want?

If you’ve ever felt like you were the only one who feels inhibited or awkward talking about your personal desires … you are not alone.

There are some very important conversations about sex and permission swirling around the zeitgeist right now, based on “how do men and women talk to each other about sex and what needs to change about that conversation”. A lot of women have baggage (emotional and physical) around talking honestly to men about sex, so that means a lot of men have never heard any hard(!) truths about their performance in bed. As far as they can tell, their penis is magic! I mean, no one’s ever complained so, they must be doing everything right … right?

And if a woman’s sex signals are hard to read? That’s ‘okay’ according to the traditional view, because, the ‘good woman’ resists (politely), the ‘sexy man’ persuades (strongly) and if he persists and gets what he wants the woman wins too—‘cause, magic penis! But, in reality, unsatisfactory or just acceptable sex becomes the norm for both parties. Her unspoken, unfulfilled wants become an internal conflict that inhibits her libido and and he’ll keep assuming she is content with the sex they’re having and so the negative cycle continues. But, here’s a super secret—nobody likes bad sex!

So, how do we become an adventuress in the bedroom—how do we leave our traditional sex-negative training behind and learn to talk about the Sex We Want honestly?

To enjoy really good sex, requires both people to gain the knowledge needed, to communicate with each other and to mutually agree on what they are willing to try—then (just like getting to Carnegie Hall) practice, practice, practice 🙂

Ultimately, being honest about sex with your partner means everybody really does win, because this kind of knowledge isn’t a weapon—it’s a gift.

“Before you can learn a new way of doing things, you have to unlearn the old way. Beginnings depend on endings.”
–Rich Mauer

Give yourself Permission to open yourself up to the world of Sensuality and Sexuality …

What are you waiting for? Why deny yourself anything that gives you pleasure at this stage in your life.

We believe that our products will help our consumers to regularly experience this feeling in their lives.

     IT’S TIME FOR A SENSUAL AWAKENING AND TO TAKE YOUR LIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL …

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN

THAT YOU ARE A GODDESS!                     

Do you take time to put yourself first?

Ask for what you want? Do what you want?

We are living in a world where women are always giving to others. It’s easy to not put yourself first. As women, we are accustomed to being caregivers—car-pool drivers, moms, grandmothers, spouses, cooks, nurses and bottle washers…

We are very good at taking care of others but, sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves.

Skimping on your self-care can really take the shine off your mind, body and soul. Prioritize your own well-being.

‘Give Yourself Permission’ to do more of what makes you feel good, things that “light you up inside,” and feed your soul. When you glow on the inside, you shine on the outside!

Edorai products will help you pamper yourself, feel terrific, and help YOU live your best life possible—give yourself permission to put yourself first (even for a few minutes a day) and pamper and delight your body from the outside in.

Never forget that you are beautiful, you are desirable, and you are a Goddess!

Ronnie Greissman, D.P.M says “it’s so important not to neglect caring for your feet. Keeping your feet soft and supple by using a healthy foot cream helps prevent painful cracks that can get infected. I like the Edorai Foot Cream because of the natural ingredients, and that it helps your feet feel better as it is softening them. “

DO YOU RUSH THROUGH YOUR SELF-CARE?

You’re not alone. Most women don’t take the time because they haven’t made it a priority. Edorai products have been designed to help Women become the best they can be. One of the ways is to take pampering time for themselves each. and. every. day.

When asked why she created this line, Holli Rovenger said, “I created the Edorai product line as an exciting, leading edge, “woman-centric” alternative to the ‘same old same old’ synthetic products on the market today. The goal was to create products that were cruelty free with safe, natural, effective, and simple ingredients.  The products we have created accomplish this, as well as make a woman feel good, love the skin she’s in, feel sexier, and help increase her self-esteem.  We are so ‘plugged in’ as a society that a lot of women have become disconnected from their bodies. Our products are a simple way for them to connect, put themselves first and feel pleasure.”     

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO INDULGE

… pamper and delight your body … from the outside in!

SOME THINGS WE’RE ALSO VERY PROUD OF…

Unlike many other body products, we don’t use harmful or synthetic ingredients  but rely on the inherent healing powers of plants —our products are cruelty-free and free of parabens, phthalates, silicone, propylene, glycol, mineral oil and sunscreens. They are made with the most effective and up-to-date ingredients on the market to enhance and increase the vibrant beauty of your skin. We have chosen to be environmentally conscious as well, so we use no extra packaging.

All our products are produced in an FDA-approved facility; using ingredients that are as natural as possible while still maintaining their integrity. Because our products are created for women, we pay special attention to ingredients that are beneficial to a woman’s body.

OUR INGREDIENT PHILOSOPHY IS SAFE AND SIMPLE

At Edorai one of our great commitments to our customers is complete transparency. If it goes into the product, it goes on the label or the insert. No exceptions!

Once you try our Edorai line of products, our hope is that you will love them as much as we do. We are product snobs who enjoy the best. Each new product is approved and released only after it’s been rigorously tested (fun!) and we believe every woman who uses them (or the lucky friends or family who get them as a gift) will adore them too.

There are so many beauty products on the market!

Whether they’re for taking care of your hair, skin and body, those various aches and pains, or that makeup that helps you feel beautiful.

Research shows us that using external products containing chemicals is counterproductive when you’re trying to live a healthy lifestyle. This is because chemicals pass through the skin and can cause damage—potentially serious damage.

While many of us pay close attention to what we put IN our bodies, most of us are still using products that contain chemicals ON our bodies! No matter how expensive the product, the chemicals in them do pass through our skin. Just think about all the medications and drugs that are delivered through the skin—nicotine patches, fertility drugs, and pain relievers, to name but a few.

I was no different. I learned so much about nutrition in college and have always been conscious and careful of what I eat. I pay attention to the nutritional content AND I am also very careful that the food does not contain harmful chemicals. But, then I started to pay just as much attention to what I was putting on my body…

It was a revelation! So, I decided to make it a priority to find and use makeup, hair and skin products that are as natural as possible. It isn’t always easy to find ones I really like. Sometimes it is a big challenge.

That’s why I did some serious research and decided to create a line of self-care products that I am happy and confident to use myself.

EACH PRODUCT IN THE EDORAI LINE:

• does what it claims to
• is as natural as possible
• provides additional health benefits
• makes a woman feel good about herself

In addition, every ingredient in the products goes on the label. I don’t like wishy-washy misleading labels, and I want to be as transparent as possible.

My focus has always been on empowering women and the Edorai product line has been designed to totally fit with that mission.

I was born and raised in northern New Jersey and even though I have lived in Florida since 1978, I am a Jersey Girl through and through.

Honest, sometimes to a fault, self-confident, energetic, creative, fun loving, fearless, optimistic, warm, friendly are a few of the ways I have been described. For me, a day without laughing is a day without sunshine. I’ve also been told I have impeccable taste and style and I accept that as a wonderful compliment.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, an M.B.A in Business Administration, and have taken an abundance of social media classes and worked with many professional coaches. As an entrepreneur, I have re-invented myself many times and have accumulated lots of experience—both in business and in life.

I am always up for trying something new and love being outside with nature. I love to dance, read, cook, ski, travel, play bridge, go to the movies, Broadway shows, and opera, dance and music events.

My goal is to make a difference in the world by helping women enjoy more pleasure and live the best lives they possibly can.

I hope you will ‘GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION…’ AND Join myself & all the awesome women who are becoming the best they want to be!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US…

“I recently purchased the Soft, Silky Sensual Foot Cream not sure of my expectations. I quickly found out that the pleasure was all mine. I placed my order and in no time it was here. A few nights later after dancing for several hours I came home and my feet were killing me. I applied the foot cream and instantly my feet felt better. Normally I would need to soak my feet and apply lots of moisturizer to get the same affect. Then 2 days later I got the same results again. Not only do I love the scent but my feet felt so good and so soft for the entire next day. I truly love this product and will continue to use it every night. I will recommend this product to everyone I know.”
