A few weeks ago I attended a lifestyle party and while there I encountered this woman and she and I struck up a conversation. I found her to be a delightful and engaging woman who had such a captivating journey. I am always fascinated when I meet single women in this lifestyle, especially those who entered the lifestyle as a single. Being that this lifestyle primarily focuses on couples and Bulls, you rarely hear from single women but they do play a prominent role so I like to share their perspe...

With that in mind, one of the things I enjoy doing is these recap episodes with one of my brothers. In this episode I am joined by Mr. Mocha and we touched on various topics that came up while we were at the event. As usual, we go off on tangents however, we still keep lifestyle topics first and foremost.

Whenever I attend a Splash Mocha event, one of the highlights for me is being able to sit with my 3 brothers (Pagan, Demitri and Mr. Mocha) and chop it up live and in person. I never set up any type of script with these guys because the conversation just flows so naturally and for me, is far more entertaining and engaging. To set the setting, we were sitting in my room in the company of several other ladies who were attending the event. (I always enjoy having female energy present for these Roun...
