Only 7 more days till the wide release of 50 Shades of Grey. Looking for something to do to pass the time till the most anticipated movie of 2015 hits theaters? Here are some ideas.

1: Read the Entire Series

Did you read all 3 of the 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy. Many have read the first book, but if you did not stick with it and read all 3, now is the time to catch up on some reading. Order the entire trilogy from Amazon right now.

2: Buy a Kindle

Love the books but hate the awkward stares? If you've been reading the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy on public transportation and are tired of people looking at you (and over your shoulder), now is a great time to order a Kindle. The Kindle Fire 6 is a great choice and is on sale right now for only $89! Take advantage, and then load it up with other titles in your new favorite genre!

A kindle is a great investment because you know if you read all 3 books in this series, you're hooked on erotica and are going to read more. Click here to order a kindle fire 6 now.

3:Take a Bubble Bath

Have you been dreaming of that mysterious, sensual scent that Christian Grey loves? If so, order a bottle of this Jasmine body wash by Thymes and slip away for a sensuous shower or bath. This makes a great, subtle gift to the 50 Shades of Grey fan on your Valentines list.

4: Slip into Something a Little Less Comfortable

Trying to convince your husband or significant other to go see the movie with you? Slipping into one of these outfits might help make up his mind. Ever since reading the book you've been thinking about taking a walk on the wild side. An outfit like this might help you recruit your significant other to take that trip with you.

The 50 Shades of Grey Trailer is Here!


Have you seen the trailer for the "50 Shades of Grey" movie yet? The official trailer is out and you can see it below, and it raises LOTS of questions, for me at least. The trailer is PG rated...but just barely. You may want to watch this at home.

So now that you've seen it, here's my big question. Do I take my husband to see 50 Shades of Grey, the movie?? As much as I loved the book, I feel like the movie is going to set back Women's Lib 100+ years or so. While I definitely have a strong interest in the subject matter, I still don't want all men thinking THIS is what gets ALL women off. And I think sitting with him in the theater may just be a little bit AWKWARD! SO I'll just have to find some like-minded girlfriends to take to this one.

Let me know who you're taking to the 50 Shades of Grey movie below.

The Handcuff Necklace - 50 Shades of Nancy Grace??

Anyone watching Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper ringing in the New Year on CNN? If so, you may have seen Andersen present Kathy with a Handcuff necklace like the one worn by Nancy Grace on HLN. But this begs the question - just WHO started this trend? Was it inspired by a necklace given to Anastasia by Christian Grey in the "50 Shades of Grey" trilogy, or is this necklace inspired by a love of the law and justice a la Nancy Grace?

Looking for an Omega Watch like Christian Grey's?

In 50 Shades of Grey Ana takes notice of Christian's elegant Omega wristwatch. Although she does not give specifics on the model, she gives enough information for watch enthusiasts to speculate as to which model Omega watch the fictional character favors.

After scouring watch collectors message boards, the verdict seems to be the Omega Men's 3570.50.00 Speedmaster Professional Mechanical Chronograph Watch below. It has a sporty style with 3 subdials and a slim profile which works well under shirt cuffs and suit jackets.


Omega Men's 3570.50.00 Speedmaster Professional Mechanical Chronograph Watch

I love the look of this watch, and my own husband who has been eying Omegas for years agreed that this might be the best looking, most versatile one for a man who has to get dressed for work but still wants a sporty but elegant watch. I'll put it on his wish list for the holidays this year, as long as he puts this one on his list for me. It's not the solid platinum watch that EL James describes in her book (and watch enthusiasts claim does not exist), but it will do! I think Omega watches may experience a lift this holiday season.

Possibly the most popular Women's watch this holiday season?

Bared to You by Sylvia Day: The Next 50 Shades?

I've got my next book queued up - Bared to You by Sylvia Day.

From what I hear, it is the next 50 Shades of Grey. The steamy story of two abuse survivors forging a romantic (and of course, sexual) relationship - this single volume story has potential to morph into a full blown series a la 50 Shade.

The fact that this book already has 988 customer reviews on Amazon.com and 4 out of 5 stars looks promising. I can't wait to get my copy. Get yours here, and let me know if you have read it and what you think.
