Party in your PJs

Look for us at the 2017 Pajama Jam!

With Debbie Simon

 

When it comes to weekend plans, our favorite options are Girls’ Night and staying at home snuggled up in your PJ’s with your favorite snacks and drinks and a good movie. Our plans for Jan. 28 combine the best of both worlds: We had so much fun at Pajama Jam last year we’ll be back at Stoney Creek Inn for Pajama Jam 2!

We’ll be bringing plenty of Olde Un Fun to the party — we’ll have lingerie, vibrators, cock rings, a little bit of everything! Everything at our booth will be 20 percent off and you’ll have the chance to sign up to win one of several giveaways — all of which will have some kind of vibrator. Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, and we’ll have a section set up with fun, sexy gift ideas for you and your partner!

Tickets are sold out for this slumber party on steroids (you can still contact any of the Cumulus stations and get put on a wait list in case there are cancelations!) but if you’re joining in this night of pampering, entertainment, dancing, shopping, and games, keep an eye out for us!

We hope to see you in your favorite pajamas on Jan. 28, but if you can’t make it you can still come in to see us at the store and get some good deals. We’re currently offering 25 percent off lingerie, including shoes and boots. So come on in and let us help you get ready for your next night of Olde Un Fun!

And don’t forget if you can’t make it to the store, you can always visit our website at http://www.oldeunfun.com/oldeunfun.

Join Olde Un for Ladies’ Night Out

With Debbie Simon

There are few things women look forward to like a night out with the girls. It’s a chance to let your hair down, catch up on all the best gossip and juiciest goings-on, enjoy a beverage or three and generally just relax and spend some time with your friends.

 

We have two opportunities coming up for you and your gal pals to join the Olde Un for an epic time -- at Girls Night Out at Peach Tree Event Center on Oct. 6 and the Ladies Night Out Expo at the Lodge of the Four Seasons on Nov. 3. “Dedicated to the celebration of women,” these two events give you the chance to shop, try samples from a slew of vendors, take in demonstrations and have the chance to win some fabulous door prizes. There will be live entertainment throughout the event, as well as food and drinks from your favorite area eateries. The events are a chance for “women of all ages to shop, play and be pampered,” and — best of all — they benefits the Community Breast Care Project.

We’ll be selling Desire…Fantasy and Fun. We’ll have some of our favorite toys on display so you and your friends can see them, feel them and understand how to use them. We will have oils and lubricants available as well, along with massage candles, edible candies and women’s arousal gel for those who are looking for a more stimulating experience. We will also have some light fetish things like blindfolds and handcuffs as this has really become a popular area in people's intimate lives — you can explore setting up your own 50 Shades fantasy.

We will have some give a ways, and one lucky visitor will win a whole box of Olde Un Fun.

Go to www.girlsnightoutcolumbia.com and www.ladiesnightoutexpo.com to RSVP ahead of time, and you will be entered to win an exclusive spa package!

And don’t forget, every Monday is Ladies’ Night at the Olde Un, and ladies receive 20% off all day long.

Sex is good for you

With Debbie Simon

“Sex is natural – sex is good. Not everybody does it. But everybody should.”

George Michael was on to something back in 1987. Sex isn’t just fun and games, it’s also good for you, providing benefits ranging from stress release to boosting your immune system. We’ve rounded up some of the top reasons sex is just as effective as the proverbial apple at keeping your doctor away:

Fewer colds: According to researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, people who are sexually active tend to have higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin, which helps combat diseases and keep the body safe from colds and flu.

 Lower blood pressure: A number of studies have documented a link between sexual intercourse (not masturbation) and lower systolic blood pressure. Of course, sex can’t take the place of blood-pressure lowering drugs to control high blood pressure, but it can be a fun way to help said drugs do their job.

Lower risk for heart attack: Having regular sex isn’t a guarantee against a heart attack, but sexual activity does help keep your hormones in check, which can lower your chances of developing conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis. A study of 1,000 men published in 2010 showed that men who had sex at least twice a week were 45-percent less likely to develop life-threatening heart conditions than men who had sex once a month or less.

Fountain of youth?: Another study, this one by the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland, showed that individuals who have regular sex — four times a week on average — were perceived to be seven to 12 years younger than their actual age. All that nooky promotes the release of hormones like estrogen, we has been shown to promote soft skin and shiny hair. 

Pain relief: Why pop an ibuprofen when you can hit the sheets instead? The endorphins released during sex are similar in structure to opiates and have the same feel-good affect by occupying morphine receptors in the brain.

Improved bladder control: Incontine nce is something that will affect approximately 30 percent of women at some point in their lives. Sex, like the much-vaunted Kegels exercises, is a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you orgasm, those muscles contract, strengthening them and leading to better bladder control.

Lower risk of prostate cancer: Research has shown that men who ejaculate frequently (at least 21 times a month) are less likely to get prostate cancer. Most sources caution that other factors may have contributed to those results, but they also agree getting off more often can only help.

Date Night in Columbia with Debbie Simon

Here at the Olde Un we’re all about having sexy, sensual fun with your partner(s) of choice. But when it comes to romance, what happens outside the bedroom (or the living room, on the desk in your office, wherever) is just as important as getting physical.

With that in mind, here are just a few suggestions for having some fun around town before you get down and dirty:

For the foodies among us:

Cooking Date Nights at Back2Basics: Have you always dreamed of being Julia Child but don’t know how to cook anything fancier than macaroni and cheese? You and your date will spend the evening preparing and then enjoying meals ranging from pan seared pork loin with a sweet cherry glaze to vegan Portobello pizza topped off by desserts like salted caramel peanut butter truffles.

Check it out at www.back2basicscooking.net.

Columbia Culinary Tours: This unique tour gives you an insider’s look at some of downtown Columbia’s best restaurants and food specialty shops. Guides will lead you on a stroll of The District with stops at locally-owned eateries to owner and/or chef and get a taste of the best they have to offer.

Check it out at columbiaculinarytours.com.

For the outdoors enthusiast:

If you like nothing better than an outdoor adventure — taking a hike and communing with nature — there are plenty of opportunities in Mid-Missouri for you to scratch that itch, especially in the two Missouri state parks that lie within a few minutes’ drive of Columbia. Pack a picnic and head up to Finger Lakes State Park, take a hike up to Devil’s Icebox at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park or hit the Katy Trail on foot or by bicycle.

Check it out at MoStateParks.com/park/finger-lakes-state-park, MoStateParks.com/park/rock-bridge-memorial-state-park or www.bikekatytrail.com

For Baby who wants to get out of their corner:

Studio B Dance Studio: Whether you’ve always imagined yourself twirling around the stage with Patrick Swayze, dreamed of stalking across the dance floor performing an intense tango, or long to kick up your heels like the Swing Kids, a night of dance lessons is a fun way to cut loose (and maybe get that libido going). With the option of group or drop-in classes or private lessons, you have plenty of opportunities to learn your way through everything from ballroom to the two-step.

Check it out at www.danceatstudiob.com.  

For a break from everyday living:

A swanky night or weekend away from home: This one may be especially appealing to parents who want to get away and have more than a few hours where they aren’t responsible for anyone but themselves, but really who doesn’t like a nice mini-vacation from reality? Get all dolled up and treat yourself to a night on the town and instead of heading home when the clock strikes midnight, spend a night or two at one of Columbia’s more upscale hotels — we suggest Tiger Hotel or The Broadway. If you’re at The Broadway, have a nightcap or two at The Roof for a spectacular view of Columbia. If you’re at the Tiger Hotel head down to The Vault and maybe grab a sweet treat from Velvet Cupcake. Then head to sleep in a ridiculously comfortable bed, order up some room service and pretend the world outside doesn’t exist for a while.

Check it out at thebroadwaycolumbia.com or www.thetigerhotel.com.

For the music lover:

Concert city: There is no shortage of music venues in Columbia; whether you want to catch a show by a local or regional artist at The Bridge or Rose Music Hall or bigger tours at The Blue Note, there’s a place to go. With summer just around the corner, there are also outdoor options like 9^th Street Summerfest, the city’s Stephen’s Lake Park Amphitheater Concert Series, the Shelter Gardens Concert Series and the Missouri Symphony Society’s Hot Summer Nights.
