Feel Sexier Tip 1 – Adorn your favorite body part
Everyone has a part of their body that they’re in love with, even if it’s their left index finger. Whatever it is for you: your eyes, your arms, or your ankles, there’s a world of adornment available to enhance and entice. If you really want to feel sexier, pick your favorite part and go to town! Be bold, be adventurous, be playful–it’s all sexy stuff.
My favorite body part? My legs!
Some of my favorite options for adornment in the jewel family include Bauble Bar and Monica Vinader.

Feel Sexier Tip 2 – Get a Professional Mani/Pedi
Some people think of salon manicures and pedicures as a luxury and I suppose they’re right. But for me, they are a necessity. From choosing colors, to soaking my tired tootsies, and getting mini massages while in the chair I love every minute of a nail salon visit. Every time I step out of a salon with new fingers and toes, I feel like a brand new woman awash with possibilities. What’s sexier than that? Not much!
Pampering yourself with a professional mani-pedi is an excellent way to feel better in your own skin.
Feel Sexier Tip 3 – Take a belly dancing class
Belly dancing is the ultimate sexy dance. The tango gives it a little competition but you need a partner for that. No partner needed for belly dancing. With the focus on a woman’s hips and belly, this style of dance is a great way to get in touch with your body and your sexuality. There’s something about wrapping your hips in beautiful fabric and jingly chains that makes for an amazingly sexy experience. FYI Groupon has some amazing deals on belly dancing and other dance classes too!
Feel Sexier Tip 4 – Indulge in Beautiful Lingerie
I mentioned above that sexiness is an inside job and part of that inside is what you wear beneath your clothes. Great lingerie can put a spring in your step and increase your confidence even if no one knows you’re wearing it.
In fact, having a sexy little secret can be extremely empowering. And if you should find yourself wanting to shed your outerwear for an appreciative audience, showing off your rocking-sexy self in your rocking-sexy lingerie will be a great bonus!
Adding lovely lingerie to your everyday outfits is a great way to boost your sexy factor!
Add Something New To Your Lingerie Wardrobe
Feel Sexier Tip 5 – Read A Little Erotica
My fifth and final tip is perhaps the best! Reading erotica. A guilty pleasure for some and an overt one for others, erotica is a surefire way to rev your sexy engine. And if full-on erotica is not quite your speed, romance novels are a good choice too.
No matter your taste, there’s something in the literary world to suit you. Visit your local library to see what’s available and see if your library offers a reader app. Also check out the OverDrive app. That way, you can download and read until your heart’s content without leaving the comfort of your home.
Confidence, courage, and a little adornment can go a long way toward helping you feel sexier instantly. Stay saucy, my sweet!

I absolutely adore your post. The only thing that freaks me out is the idea of belly dancing but that is all on me and in my head. I splurge once or twice a year for a pedicure but if I am being honest, I normally have my husband give me mini-pedicures at home. I definitely need to work on my sex appeal for myself. As fall approaches it is time for a new me.
I took a belly dancing class years ago with some girlfriends – it was a lot of fun!! I love your tip of focusing on your favorite body part – accentuate the positive! Great post!
Awesome tips, I would love to do belly dancing but I think everyone would run out the room…lol I also like the tip of focusing on your favorite body part. Great post.
I love the gold rope looking anklet! I wanted to know where it’s available to buy. I looked around but found no links to it. I’m new here. If anyone can help, appreciate it.
I love getting a mani/pedi, or maybe it's just that I love being pampered! I've seen a belly dancing class at college, but that's not for me. Too prudish I suppose.
Sex appeal.. Something I need to really work on. Seems like after taking care of 5 kiddos and everything else I never get time to spend on me. Will have to start making time.
wearing sexy and beautiful lingerie is a must indeed! even you are a full time mom wearing sexy underwear can lift up your mood to make you feel sexy and beaitiful

Hi Debra! I haven’t been able to find that anklet but there are barefoot sandals that are really cool. Check out this one https://rstyle.me/+luxef2YS2nkeIDIyFrECGw

Awesome tips! Belly dancing is very good idea!
What a fun post! I would love to take a burlesque class. They look like a lot of fun.

I like the anklet. After having kids, "looking good" is the first part that took less priority.
I love the anklet and toe ring. Very sexy!
Woah. I'm definitely going to sending this post to my girlfriend. The belly dancing class sounds amazing!
Good luck! Maybe she'll do a little dance for you!
It's true, getting a manicure and pedicure can really make a woman feel sexy. I think being well groomed overall makes us feel sexy.
I feel the exact same way about getting a mani-pedi. It's great to pamper yourself and you look good after.
Oh, I need to work on #2-4! I just do! I'm dying for a mani-pedi, and love bellydance (a sexy work out) and I definitely need some lingerie!
A great mani and pedi makes a huge difference with how I feel about myself.
I honestly couldn't care less about manicures or pedicures. That said, these are great tips all around!
UGH…I haven't felt sexy in so many years. I really need to do stuff like this. Shame on me
These are some awesome tips. I took belly dancing once and I loved it!
When I was a kid my mom did belly dancing classes. It would be awesome exercise and give you great sex appeal. Thanks for sharing.
Getting a man-pedi from a shop definitely hands down makes you feel like you're on top of the world!! I love getting pampered here and there.
I love mani pedis! I will admit I don't get them as often as I should, but I sure do love some fresh polish!
These are all great tips. Taking care of yourself and feeling good in your own skin is the best way to get to feeling sexier!
That's the absolute truth!

Agree, agree, agree and agree! I agree, a pedi (for me) is a total necessity! It's cheap and it makes me feel good. And sexy lingerie – another must!
I agree and always feel best when I am wearing a new favorite lingerie set! I love a little lace and fun colors.
Super ideas here and definitely ways to make us feel good. I indulge in a pedi each month if not more!
Awesome tips! Especially getting a pedicure. There's just something about getting a professional pedicure!!! =)
Thanks for all of the tips. & for my sudden urge to find a belly dancing class near me! LOL
I totally agree about the pedicure. It really does something for me that's for sure. I feel more feminine.
Love these tips, I need to spice me up:)
I say add spice daily if you can!
I have always wanted to take belly dancing classes. I love the anklet in the picture. Sometimes a new haircut can make you feel sexy.
I´d say it is not only underwear, having nice clothes on the outside helps too. 🙂 I know I tend t o walk different when I do.
These are awesome tips you have here.
Pretty challenging challenge! haha I don't know if I have the courage to wear a sexy lingerie in front of my husband..
Pity! I missed this challenge. I must say, you do have beautiful feet.
