Today, TheBigFunSexySex book comes out.

Its my 3rd book and if you had asked me even a year ago if I would write a book on Sex I would have laughed and said “Are you Crazy?” Well Clearly YES I AM! And HERE WE ARE!

What I can tell you is I am thrilled about the book. I wrote it with a Sex therapist. That’s right a SEX THERAPIST, who knows his stuff!  We meet through friends and after I wrote my book Rinnavation and I had written a chapter on losing my mojo and my Sex Drive I had so many men and women come up to me and tell me how it had helped them in some way be more open and honest with their partners about how they feel.

So when Ian said, “Hey, maybe we should write a book together and he said she said from our points of view”, I thought it could be very helpful and very valuable!  I then learned that 40 million people live in sexless relationships!!! That’s a lot of people in Sex Ruts. Ian says that in his sex practice most couples come in with the complaint that they are in a Sex Rut.

So we have written a book to help you GET OUT of the SEX RUT! Lots of ways to get your Sexy back and re-connect with your partner, find the intimacy, and be willing to break down the barriers so that you can be Vulnerable with one another once again. This book can help, free, ignite, and stimulate your passion again. Its Fun and Sexy and it doesn’t take a lot to flame those dying embers.  We have lots of tips to get back to the Big O and make Boreplay into Choreplay – more on that in the book – you’ll love that part!

Also for the first time EVER I share Sexercises to keeping your love life Fresh and a 7-Day eating and exercise plan to get your body jump started to allow you to have the self confidence to strut your stuff, take risks, and feel good about yourself again. Its all about making the effort and the rewards will be astonishing we believe.

I like to call our book the 50ShadesofGrey work/handbook. So let’s get going and get sex back up to the top of our “TO DO” List!

I mean what feels better than the Big O?

Just do it!

Love, Lisa

This was written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio.  She said, ”To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written.”

45 lessons life taught me:

1.       Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2.       When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3.       Life is too short to waste time hating anyone…
4.       Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick.   Your friends and parents will.  Stay in touch.
5.       Pay off your credit cards every month.
6.       You don’t have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.
7.       Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8.       It’s OK to get angry with God.  He can take it.
9.       Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.
10.     When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11.     Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12.     It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13.     Don’t compare your life to others.  You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14.     If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15.     Everything can change in the blink of an eye.  But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16.     Take a deep breath.  It calms the mind.
17.     Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18.     Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19.     It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.  But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20.     When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21.     Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion, today is special.
22.     Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23.     Be eccentric now.  Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24.     The most important sex organ is the brain.
25.     No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26.     Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years,will this matter?’
27.     Always choose life.
28.     Forgive everyone and everything.
29.     What other people think of you is none of your business.
30.     Time heals almost everything.  Give it time.
31.     However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32.     Don’t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does.
33.     Believe in miracles.
34.     God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35.     Don’t audit life.  Show up and make the most of it now.
36.     Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37.     Your children get only one childhood.
38.     All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39.     Get outside every day.  Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40.     If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41.     Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42.     The best is yet to come.
43.     No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44.     Yield.
45.     Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

Wanted to share a few of my Favorite things with you – kinda my Oprah moment. LOL!

One thing I am loving is Kate Somerville’s new Derma Quench liquid Lift!  It is just fantastic and makes my skin glow! It’s my new favorite face product if you can get it!  I love and use all of Kate’s products. I use her ExfoliKate, total Vitamin, deep tissue repair, oil free moisturizer, and tinted 55 sunscreen. Visit www.katesomerville.com. I never go without sunscreen, even when its cloudy!

Now I also use Renee Rouleau and Obagi products.  I believe in switching it up otherwise your skin gets complacent.  I love Renee’s luxe mint cleanser and her mint huffing beads anti-cyst treatment and triple berry smoothing peel! Visit www.ReneeRouleau.com.  I also love the Obagi line for lighting my dark spots. The Nuderm line has gotten ride of almost all of my brown spots and keeps me from breaking out. I swear by it for breakouts!  Check out www.obagi.com.

I also just tried Dr Brandt’s Glo and love to alternate.  I got a sample of it at Sephora and I’m loving it day and night.

I know it sounds crazy but I do alternate with all of these products and my skin has never been better.  I’m now going to share a secret diet tip that helps me keep my appetite at bay – Gaia DietSlim, its called. I just love it. I take it every day just one a day in the morning. It seems to make me less hungry. I get it at whole foods market.

I’ll be on QVC, April 30th at 11pm. Please check it out.  I’m selling 8 pieces from my “Bellegray by Lisa Rinna” line and I’ll be on again May 4th at 10pm.

Don’t forget to check out my new book “The Big Fun Sexy Sex Book”. Its comes out May 1st!

Ok that’s it for now.
Sending you all Love and Light!

A lot of you are asking me to write a Blog about my coming back to “Days of our Lives” and my new clothing line for QVC so here we go:

I am thrilled to be back playing Billie Holiday Reed on DAYS! I played the role from 1992-1995 then again in 2002 for just 6 months and now again in 2012. So every 10 years I have played her. Kind of a fun fact. So in my 20′s my 30′s and now in my 40′s.

You may ask why I decided to play Billie again at this stage in my life and career? Well I wanted to act again. That is my true love and passion and that is what I studied for years to do. Over the past 8 years I have been so blessed to have done a talk show “Soaptalk” for 4 years, a show called “Merge” on Lifetime, a little show called “Dancing with the Stars”, the Red Carpet coverage…lots and lots of hosting. Also, the Musical “Chicago” on broadway, a reality show “Harry Loves Lisa” – sounds like I am reciting my resume. Well I kinda am! But what I’m trying to say is I MISSED being an actress and I wanted to be again.

I ran into Patrick Muldoon who plays Austin, my brother, on DAYS and he told me he had gone back and how fun it was and how great the new schedule was (perfect for being a Mom – family always comes first with me). I kept running into Patrick around town and he kept calling me planting that seed to come back to Days. So I thought about it, had a lunch with the producers and writers, and the next thing I know is “Wham, I’m back”. And let me tell you how thrilled I am and how much fun I am having – tons of fun! I Love it! I love seeing all of the Cast and crew that I worked with back in the 90′s (yes a lot of them are back looking exactly the same I might add)! I am just loving acting again. I love the process and when things just “feel right” and you feel like you are exactly where you are suppose to be. Well that is how I feel! Thank you God!

Now Let’s talk about my passion for clothes and fashion. Let’s talk about why I did a line for QVC.

Well it was always a dream of mine, ever since we opened our boutique Belle Gray 9 years ago, to dress women of all ages and all SIZES! In the boutique business the clothes I loved to wear and the ones I bought for Belle Gray only went up to a size 12 and I always wanted to be able to dress all women of all sizes because I feel everyone, no matter what size you are, should be able to look and feel beautiful! So for 9 years I created a cozy california chic look at Belle Gray, yet I was never satisfied. That’s when QVC came along, liked my vision, and wanted me to create a line for them. I was beyond thrilled. It took a whole year, but we did it and everything is sized XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X. I could not be more thrilled that I can dress everyone and that has always been my goal to help women look good, feel good, and be empowered!!!!

If you go to www.qvc.com and go to “Belle Gray by Lisa Rinna” you can see the very beginning of my line. Its only just begun. Its cozy, its chic, its soft, its fun, and yummy, and comfy, and versatile. Everything can be worn lots of different ways – casual, dressed up with accessories. You can turn one look into 5. I like that.

I like being able to have cute pieces in my wardrobe that I know I can grab at the last minute and I will look and feel fab! A dress that I can wear flip flops with or put on strappy heels and some jewlery and hit the Red Carpet – I have made that for you! A t-shirt that has special details so its a chic t shirt that you can dress up or down. A faux suede jacket in taupe and black that goes with everything and is washable! Genius! Wear it with jeans or over a Maxi dress. I live in all of these clothes and I’ve now made them for you at an affordable prices. All under 100 bucks. That is so exciting to me. At the boutique, prices could go upward of $800. We can’t do that in this economy and why should we? Clothes should be fun and cozy and not break the bank!

So that is all for now. I hope you will go to www.qvc.com and check out my new line and I hope you will tune in daily to “Days of our Lives” – 1pm on NBC.

Love
Lisa

Ok, so I’ve been doing yoga for 60 days – kundalini and power yoga. Any kind will do really. I do try to do 4-5 times a week! Find a yoga studio or dvd’s that you love and just do it. I do an hour or and hour and a half depending on time restraints that I have. 1 hour usually.

Green drinks – @jeffdeperon (my trainer) turned me on to them and he has lots of recipes, so tweet him and ask him for them!!!! I like to do Kale, apple juice, green tea, ginger and cinnamon – that’s my fav! I also will get essential greens juice at the market. Some kind of fresh green juice a day is what I’ve done almost every day for 60 days.

That’s it folks! Go Yoga and Go juice!! Let me know how you feel!

Love, Lisa

What can we do to make the best of it?!  I keep asking myself that and what I keep coming up with is to just live in the moment. Pure and simple as that. I know there is a higher power at work and I need to just relax and let go! Sound familiar to anyone?!!!  I also believe in always thinking positively! You know I’m a huge believer in the law of attraction and I think if you put out good stuff, you’ll get back good stuff and vice versa!

Go out into the world and be yourself – be authentically yourself!!

Take Risks!
Push yourself!
Be kind and Give until it hurts – Give Give Give!!
Love and accept yourself right now.
Have gratitude.
Have Faith and Hope.
Do the best you can every day…then let it go.

These are just some of the messages I am teaching my girls. I know there are a lot more but its a good start, so I thought I’d share that with you too!

We are living in challenging times and we must be mindfull and we must stay positive. “This too shall pass” as my Mom always has said. And “It gets better”. I love those 2 phrases!  I hope you are all following your bliss, your passion, your dreams, or all of the above!!!! I know I sure am and I feel so blessed to be able to live this amazing life!

I am working on new projects and I’m excited to share them with you! Some very exciting stuff, may I say! I am so jazzed – lots of different & exciting opportunities!! I am waying lots of possibilities that I think as fans you will be so jazzed about!!!!! Soon I can speak of them but not quite yet!

Here’s to a fabulous Fall 2011. Love you all! Thank you for always being so loving and supportive of me and my Family! We appreciate each and every one of you!

Please feel free to ask me questions at asklisa. I love answering them!!!

Love you!

I Ran down to my clothing store Belle Gray (www.bellegray.com). I shamelessly plug everything in case I’m new to you!  I grabbed a Gypsy 05 dress to wear to the baby shower. I Love having a store for that reason. I can always find something new and fresh to wear! The store is a one stop shop where you can get Jeans, a t-shirt, flip flops with bling, of course, bags, shoes, dresses, cute tops, dressy sexy dresses, cashmere wraps, etc etc. Its my cozy california closet I like to call it!

Summer is flying by isn’t it?!

The girls are in dance camp and tennis camp! I’m so thrilled they finally wanted to DANCE whoo hoo! My dream come true to have Ballerinas!!!

Harry Hamlin, my hunky husband, is just awesome. We are headed up to our Canada soon – its been in Harry’s Family for over 100 years. We boat, tube, bbq, paddle board, log roll, and hang with our friends. It’s so fun for the kids!

Have a fantastic day and i’ll keep you posted!!!
