The Art of Snogging-Kissing 101

You and who-ever sitting in a tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G...first come LOVE..then comes MARRIAGE...then comes a baby in the ROCKING CARRIAGE.

So you see. It all behinds with the kiss. These are just some issues and answers. Just to keep things light.

1. In order for you to kiss.You must enter the "ZONE". The zone is that alert space around a person's face that let's them know something is in their territory. Its that space you see people chasing flies from,just so you have a better idea. You need to know how to enter the zone. Don't just come crawling up in her grill with lightning speed-You might forget to tilt your head n break her nose.Yup-NOT a good idea. Eye contact is a great way to tell whether its the right time to enter the zone. There's going to be a seemingly long gaze shared between the two of you. His/Her eyes will be telling you..."yes, come to me".

2. YO BREATH!!

I cannot begin to emphasize the importance of your breath. If we wanted to taste your lunch-we would share the meal with you. There is nothing passionate about smelling or tasting the remnants of  your person's meal. I come from a very close knit family and I have this super tidy aunt. She taught me how to brush. She always said-"it doesn't matter if you brush your teeth well if you don't spend as much time cleaning your tongue". Your tongue should not be white. A pink tongue is a healthy tongue.It's also a sign of a clean tongue. Always carry a pack of gum or mints on your person. Use them. Its okay to casually offer them to your person a good while before the kiss.

3.Teeth.

Nothing is more distracting than food between teeth. Be it chewed bread, green vegetables,or the brown..stewed meat effect. Its repulsive. You will not always feel all the stuff that can get stuck in there. "Shake" some water in your mouth .Floss if you have to.(well you have to,but you get what I mean).Leave nothing to the imagination.

4. Lips

Invest in a chap stick if you have to but don't enter the zone with lips that look like parched earth.

 Its looks like you're badly dehydrated and dehydration most often times leads to bad breath. Keep Hydrated.Keep your lips moist. Believe it or not ladies, most guys don't enjoy eating your lip gloss,its gummy and unnatural. I must admit, Victoria Secret lip glosses come in a variety of flavours and they're all so very tasty. Dry,cracked lips lack appeal. Exfoliate your lips using a homemade sugar scrub. I'll blog some of  my at home  beauty recipes for you guys later.

5. Be sincere.

A kiss is something beautiful and telling. A kiss can reveal much of how someone truly perceives you. A rushed and hurried kiss can tell that a person really wants to start dancing in your draws. I might be wrong but I'm sure you guys agree. Let it happen naturally:) Wearing a great scent like your favourite perfume or cologne can really set the "zone" ambiance.

One Soulful reader said the three rules to kissing in her books are-

• Bite the lower lip

• Use Tongue

• And Make sure her lips are pink afterwards,no matter how dark she is..

BE CAREFUL who you kiss though. As casual as you like to treat it these days,its still an act of intimacy and acts of intimacy can bring along diseases. Meningococcal meningitis is transmitted via saliva. You might want to stay away from kissing persons with cold sores and other evident diseases of the mouth. There are also illnesses that may not be evident upon first glance so be sure that you're locking lips with someone who has good oral and personal hygiene. Happy Smooching..after all..Mistletoe madness is not too far away..even though its not a Caribbean thing. We're more like under the sycamore tree sorta people:)

If you keep these pointers in your back pocket..you might just have a moment like this..Take a listen..



Goodnight Bumkpins MWAH MWAH! ^_^
