Tomorrow is Earth Day, and to celebrate, we have been planning lots of Eco-Sexy things here at the store. During April, we are donating 10% of sales of our eco toys to Grist.org and offering a free bottle of Blossom Organics lube with every purchase over $60. We are participating in the CRAVEgreen event in May, and we are planning an Eco Sexy Toys night with OUT for Sustainability in June.  But, the event happening tomorrow night is my favorite event all year (well, maybe aside from our Sexy Firefighters party in December): Kinky Crafts Night!

I probably don’t have to tell you that we live in a busy, busy world, with iPhones, second jobs, credit card debt and stress, stress, stress. I think we may have gone so far past the point of being stressed out, we’re, like, post-stressed at this point. And in addition to everything else we try to holistically cram into our days (the efforts to exercise and be healthy, hang out with friends, spend quality time with our families and partners), we also want to have successful, satisfying sex lives. No easy feat, for those who are already stretched passed the point of being busy and are full on totally overwhelmed.

Recently, the Observer, the New York Times and the Village Voice all published articles on the possibility that “sex was dead” – it simply isn’t something we can fit into the daily schedule. And it makes sense. If a person works 14 hours a day, or they have children (or they work 14 hours and have children), sex might as well be the last thing on their mind at the end of a hard day. I know for myself: talking about sex at work all day, while it may seem like a natural aphrodisiac, can actually have the opposite effect. Sex can start to seem painfully like work, especially when it is your work.

It’s time for another peek behind the velvet curtain at Babeland! Every month, we take a look at one of our Staff Pick-ers, and show you a little bit about who they are, how they got here, what it’s like for them to work here, and more. This month, we’ve got Kristie on deck! Kristie’s one of our hard-working, wonderful, and always-stylish staff at our Seattle store.  She’s a perfect example of how people come to work at Babeland from wildly varied backgrounds, but stick around because of the wonderful environment they find here.  Read on to find out more about Kristie’s Babeland story…
