I just did an interview where the host was talking about mismatched libidos and how so many couples are “lopsided” when it comes to sexual desire. I personally can attest to this being a common problem, since I hear from so many people on a daily basis who ask me how Hot Rawks can help them improve their sex drive.
I'd like to quickly address this issue, mainly because I want to state that although I am the proprietor of an herbal supplement designed to boost sex drive in men and women both, I am not out there simply trying to pimp a product. I created my company, Raw-Nation®, to promote a lifestyle…one that encourages health, wellness, and vitality.
Goodbye 2011
This is the time of year I pull out my goals that I wrote back on January 1st and see just how many of them I’ve actually accomplished. I also like to really reflect on the last twelve months and determine what lessons I’ve learned and how I will apply them to the rest of my life.
Normally my goal setting is casually done in about 20 minutes on New Year’s Day. I make myself some hot tea, sit down in front of my laptop, and quickly type up my intended forecast for the upcoming year. I usually have a general idea of what I want to see happen so it’s really only ever been a matter of simply transferring those wants to a Word document. This past New Year’s Day I went about it a bit differently…
Backstage with Papa Roach = Sideshow with Mickey Mouse
It’s no secret that I am a rocker chick to the core. The mere thought of a deafening guitar riff and a thunderous drum beat, simultaneously booming from an amplifier with sub woofers bigger than my house gets me feeling all kinds of turned on. My friends know this about me, so it only made sense that when one of the biggest new anthem rock tours came through my hometown, I was contacted immediately by my buddy at the radio station, and the conversation went something like this:
Friend: “Julie, are you interested in accompanying us to the Rock Allegiance Tour, complete with backstage access and press passes?”
Crohns
During a recent interview, I was asked the following question:
“When did you really start noticing significant improvements in your overall well-being once implementing the well-documented changes in your diet and lifestyle?”
Medicating Ourselves to Death
Adderall. Xanax. Ambien. Zoloft. More than likely, anyone reading this article immediately recognizes all of those words. Those words, along with a plethora of other pharmaceutical terms, are now a common fixture in the English language. We are introduced to these chemical substances from the time we're born, and anyone not having taken some sort of prescription drug in the past 6 months probably leans toward the minority.

Most Embarrassing Tradeshow Moment...Ever
Even unconventional, seemingly no-care folks like me get embarrassed.
Anyone who has ever worked a tradeshow knows how utterly exhausting the days can be. You stand on solid concrete, covered in one-inch carpet, donning 5-inch heels for 8 hours straight. You have to talk and laugh and shake hands and repeat your pitch a thousand times to a shit-load of people, and you’re more than likely hungover while doing it, (most tradeshows are followed by cocktail parties that seem to go into the wee-hours of the night).
I was working one of those shows, promoting Hot Rawks, and had attended one of those after-hours social thingy’s. I was tired and a tad drunk, but still felt compelled to sit in the lounge of my hotel and have yet another glass of wine with myself before heading up to my room.
MotleyCrue
So, lots of folks are intrigued and interested to hear my Motley Crue experience. Since the story is quite entertaining, I figured I would blog about it. Warning: this story is fun, and it is 100% TRUE. I swear on my life.
Several years ago, Motley Crue went on tour and decided to grace Greensboro, NC with their ominent presence. My friends and I were not about to pass up the opportunity to get dolled up in leather and headbang to “Kickstart My Heart”, so we got tickets the day they went on sale.
My Story
There is a huge misconception among many of my newer acquaintances that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and that life has always been somewhat “easy” for me. Hence, building a business from scratch was not as complicated a task as it would’ve been had I endured different circumstances.
Prince
It was Saturday night, I guess that makes it alright…
I had just gotten wind not even a week prior that the Almighty Purple God was adding yet another city to his most recent tour and that city just so happened to be good ol’ Greensboro, NC.
I was thrilled and immediately made a decision that no matter what else was on my agenda for that night, my schedule was about to be clear.
Scantily Clad Performance Taught Valuable Lesson
It was a cold February in 2005. I was having some problems in my marriage and felt as if heading out of town for the weekend would cure everything. I called my cousin and she agreed that New York City was just the medicine I needed. We booked our flights and within a few hours we were pounding the pavement of this luscious city.
We ventured down Broadway and decided a show was in order.
"What do you want to see?" she asked me.
"Not sure, let’s mull it over in the next bar."
Without hesitation, she ducked into the next drinking establishment and before we knew it we were downing Irish Car Bombs with some locals.
Single and...loving it?
Last week I decided to start dating again.
It’s been about five months since doomsday (aka "break-up"), and I’m starting to feel the need to get off Facebook and out of my house (aka "get laid").
Being that the last three and a half years were spent in a relationship (albeit a turbulent one), I’ve been hesitant to jump back into the shark-infested sea of singledom.
What is Sexy?
A friend of mine recently asked me what I thought the definition of sexy was. The first thing that came to mind was the obvious: a protruding Adam’s apple, a tattooed inner bicep, chiseled abs, and a really great smile. Then I started pondering the question again, and realized that while all those things are a definite physical bonus, overall sexiness is much more complex.
Have you ever met someone who wasn’t incredibly physically attractive, but they just radiated sexiness? Maybe you found yourself enamored with them, but not being able to put a finger on what it was you found so mesmerizing? I, personally, have an insatiable fascination with Jeff Goldblum. This is rather strange to most since he is not particularly viewed as Hollywood’s hunkiest. However, onscreen he regularly portrays an intelligent, quick-witted, energetic character, who is always overly passionate about something. He also happens to be a Jew, which could be another reason I’m attracted to him. I recently came to realize that the majority of my crushes over the last few years have turned out to be Jewish. Maybe there’s something to these “chosen ones” after all.?
Now let’s consider the opposite. We’ve all met someone very beautiful or handsome that had zero sex appeal, right? Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. They are physically attractive in every way, but you wouldn’t even consider having sex with them. Why?
I’ve been studying the marvels of human sexuality for quite some time, and one thing that stands to be true is that seduction is less about the way you look and more about the way you carry yourself. I think it stems from the fact that we are, in fact, animals. We were designed to procreate with one another, and this primal instinct drives you to want a strong mate, one who is strapping, confident, and robust.
Do you stand erect (pardon the pun) and walk with a confident stride? Do you look at people in the eye when they approach you? Or do you slouch, uneasily hang your head low, and avoid eye contact?
Truly being sexy means you are filled with confidence, energy, and passion. You love being in your own skin, so others will want to be in it as well!
Of course, you cannot be disgusting or repulsive and hope that your confidence alone will attract the opposite sex. There is a small role that aesthetics plays in sex appeal, so make sure you are taking care of yourself (and your teeth), in an appropriate fashion.
We have also been exposed to so many chemicals and toxins in this day and age, that our reproductive and glandular systems can be seriously imbalanced. Supplementing with Chinese herbs like the ones found in Raw-Nation’s Hot Rawks (www.hotrawks.com) that are proven to boost libido, virility, and sexual vitality can’t hurt, either. They assist in regulating hormone levels and can leave you feeling more, well, desirable!
Confidence, intelligence, the ability to engage in stimulating conversation, open-mindedness, and a great attitude are all prime attributes in someone who is sexy.
So, to really be honest, being sexy is hardly about looks at all. Being sexy is something that resonates from the inside out. People who realize this have a charismatic power to them, a sexual glow that is irresistible to others. Sexy is an attitude.
Cheers,
Julie
Superfoods Equals Superpowers, Energy That Lasts All Day!
It still amazes me everyday the amount of energy I have from eating raw, organic superfoods. For example, today I took 3 Hot Rawks capsules and after waiting just thirty minutes, I did Yoga X for an hour and half. After I finished yoga, I made myself a superfood smoothie using raw cacao, goji powder, raw honey, raw agave, juice from an orange, young Thai coconut, and a banana.
Hot Rawks + Yoga + Superfoods = Sustained Energy all day long with no crash like you get from highly caffeinated beverages or energy drinks. My energy lasted well beyond five hours...try all day long. There are no quick fixes to any problem. Sure, you can take certain fast acting pills or drinks to give you a false burst of energy, or take a pill to make you do other things, but you´re not solving anything. In fact, you can even become addicted to some of the harsh chemicals in certain so-called energy formulas.
The right combination of herbs and superfoods can feed your body the nutrients to supply you with the energy you need to get you through the day, and even through the night when needed. We are in a society where everyone expects something right now, but what happens after long-term use of these “right now” products? You´re rundown, you crash, you get lazy, and you become addicted to things that contaminate your body and can do more damage than good. With raw, organic herbs and superfoods your body will provide you with what you need now and later, for the rest of your life. It is the best high you will ever have!

A black leather jacket brushes over his sweat stained skin. He feels the pulse of the crowd and he fuels off their energy. He rips into his guitar and it screams into the audience. He´s on Hot Rawks.
She lifts the cup to her lips and the steam enters her nostrils. She sips the mocha-infused coffee and the hot liquid rolls down her throat. She listens to Nora Jones as her fingers tap away on her Macbook. She smiles to herself as she feels the gratifying warmth of accomplishment run through her body. She´s on Hot Rawks.
His heart is pounding as he grips the handlebars. His palms are clammy but he´s in control. He feels the vibration of the bike run through his body as he defies gravity and catapults into the air. The crowd screams in delight as he lands perfectly and continues onto the next jump. He´s on Hot Rawks.
She grips the sheets with her hands and balls them into a tight fist. She arches her back in sheer pleasure and the crown of her head presses hard against the pillow. She moans in delight again and again and every bit of stress evaporates from her quivering body. She is on Hot Rawks.
So, what are you waiting for?
