ASEXUAL AWARENESS WEEK 2018

If you didn’t know, every October is when Asexual Awareness Week occurs, and this year 2018, is no exception, (21st-27th of October 2018, is Asexual Awareness Week).

Asexual Awareness Week gives each and every asexual the opportunity to promote Asexual Awareness and to ‘come out’ to others if you haven’t already. If you have any family or friends that want to help you to raise awareness too, this is the perfect time to get them to do just that.

We need more visibility, we need more education for others, and we need to get our voices heard – there is absolutely nothing wrong with being asexual and I believe living life as an asexual can be one of the most positive and empowering experiences. However, I know the difficulties that crop up, the objections, those awkward moments, the lack of understanding and sensitivity. It’s also tough finding other aces to meet in person, to form strong relationships with, and to find a life partner/s should we wish to. That is why it is so very important for us to raise awareness as much as possible. Wearing an Asexualise Asexual T Shirt, is a great way of raising awareness and that is why I have spent more time learning more Photoshop skills so I can bring you more exclusive designs that are unique and stand out like this ‘Asexual Awareness’ T Shirt on my Redbubble shop.

Posted on by Asexualise

Welcome to Asexualise.com. It’s ace to have you here and I hope you can grab yourself a cup of your favourite drink and a slice of your favourite cake, and get settled in to making this your new asexual home.

A lot has happened since I first published this blog post on April 12th 2016. Over 2 years ago! And today is 26th of August 2018.

Sandra Bellamy     

I was a speaker at the UK Asexuality Conference last month.

I have my own Asexualise clothing brand on Amazon here and my own Redbubble shop here.

And now I have a shop on here in which I have gathered the best asexual products on Amazon for you in one place. Mostly they are from Amazon USA as currently they have more asexual products, so if they don’t ship to you, you can buy a range of products from my Redbubble shop.

Last month I also launched https://www.asexualiseacademy.com which is the world’s first online training centre and school for asexuals and asexuality. And I have a free 9 part video training series on there in asexuality basics for beginners! Which explains what asexuality is and what the asexual spectrum and aromatic spectrum is! So go there now and sign up and you will be taken to the Course Library page where you enter your details again to get the course for free.

I created this site especially for you, to empower and enhance your asexual life. Jammed packed with asexual products, social media resources, blog, and more; with more to come, I hope you will enjoy your stay. Enjoy the shop and resources here. If there is anything I can help you with, or any suggestions you have, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Twitter http://www.twitter.com/acexualise or on my http://www.facebook.com/acexualise page or via the chat box on this site.

I aim to write more non-fiction books for asexuals in the future as well as in other niches. Writing is my hugest passion in life, although I have many others – including being quirky! And I love being asexual, it’s the best thing ever for me. I also plan to create paid for online training and coaching courses in the future; if you want more in-depth help with asexuality, such as increasing confidence and self-esteem, you will want to check those out when they appear on here. There will also be related courses too, such as “Power of One” How to supercharge your single life to feel happy and fulfilled forever. All of these are still yet to come, but they will be on my new www.asexualiseacademy.com

Remember you are ACE!

ASEXUAL BEAUTY AND PERSONAL CARE 10 Top Tips To BOOST Your Self-esteem And Feel Great!

Posted on by Asexualise

Asexual Beauty and Personal Care

In order to maintain your asexual beauty and personal care, it is important to not only get the right products, but to also take action to boost your self-esteem and feel great.

10 Top Tips To BOOST Your Self-esteem And Feel Great!

Look good and feel great by taking care of the most important person in your life, YOU!

Whether it’s pampering yourself from head to toe, or taking a simple bubble bath, the most important person to take care of is you! Because once you feel good on the inside, it will be clearly visible on the outside!

It is so important to boost your self-esteem whenever possible, and there are many ways you can do this with taking ultra good care of your personal health and beauty being one of them! You can also:

Hobbies

1) Do hobbies that make you feel great!

Get Creative

2) Be creative. Creativity boosts your energy levels and makes you feel good.

Water Wellness

3) Drink plenty of water, keeping hydrated is essential to your health and wellbeing and can make you feel more alert and energetic.

Endorphin Hit!

4) Exercise whenever possible, every little bit helps to release endorphins, which is those feel good chemicals!

5) Laughing also releases endorphins – so make sure you do as much to make yourself laugh as possible and try to get friends who you feel comfortable around, who you can be yourself with, and who make you laugh too!

Exercise Your Brain!

6) Physical exercise is important, but exercising your brain is equally, if not more important, as once the brain goes dead you feel dead inside, whilst still very much being alive, so take personal and professional development courses, read books, watch educational programmes and YouTube videos that will grow you as a person!

7) Indulge your senses whenever possible; sight, smell, taste and touch. Get out into fresh air or eat some lovely smelling food, which also tastes good, and if meeting up with friends in person, give them a hug to greet them and say goodbye!

Find Your Tribe!

8) Join both online and offline groups to make friends and spend time with those friends. See them in person or on video chat.

9) Spend time with people who really understand you and who you can relate to! Many of our problems stem from being around others who are not like ourself and who don’t understand us. If you have prolonged exposure to these types of people, it can be very destructive for your personal wellbeing as you can feel there is something wrong with you when there isn’t and you are constantly looking to fix you, when instead you just need to fix your situation, by removing these people from your life, or spending less time with them! You need to find your tribe, those who understand you and who want to be around you and spend time with you, because they love and like you for who you are.

Make Change Happen For You Not To You!

10) Trying something new, can be a bit scary at first, but it is good to push yourself out of your comfort zone as much as possible, otherwise your life stagnates and you can become bored with it, without realising. Plus your brain needs stimulation, even if you don’t like change, you should make change happen for you, rather than to you, therefore it is not so scary and you can make good progress with your life!

I hope these personal care 10 top tips to boost your self-esteem have helped you to feel great on the inside, so then you will radiate more beauty on the outside! Because YOU are worth it! Believe it!

NEW ASEXUALISE ASEXUAL SHOP UNDER CONSTRUCTION! TO EMPOWER AND ENHANCE YOUR ASEXUAL LIFE!

Posted on by Asexualise

You may have noticed something different about this site very recently! It now has an asexual shop that is currently under construction at the time of writing this post on July 31st 2018!

You may or may not remember, that this site used to have a shop previously incorporated within it? But now, it is an actual shop, rather than having one just incorporated within it. Well, almost, as I am still adding category images and still have some work to do on the aesthetics and certain pages, but 108 products are already in it. I never knew the immense amount of asexual products out there, until I went searching for them for YOU!

These asexual products are selected from Amazon.com and added to the shop here for you, so you have all the best asexual products in the one place! You can add multiple products to your shopping cart, just by clicking add to cart, and you will be automatically redirected to Amazon to checkout, but if the item is not available to be shipped to your country, for example, to the UK, it will not show in your shopping cart on Amazon to prevent any purchases that cannot be fulfilled and shipped to your country. Under each item it has a symbol of a USA flag or British flag, so you can see which items are available just in the USA – such as many of the Asexual T-Shirts you see, but things like the Asexual books you see, can mostly be got in both the USA and UK and globally!

No matter where you live around the world, you can always shop for many asexual products, including asexual T-Shirts, skirts, tops, leggings, and so much more, at my Asexualise Asexual shop on Redbubble, just take a look at the screenshot below and you can see to the left of (some of) my designs, all of the products I sell, from Asexualise Asexual Acrylic Blocks to Asexualise Asexual Wall Tapestries – by clicking here https://www.redbubble.com/people/asexualise Please note, that prices will vary from Amazon due to different manufacturers, and the prices viewed here are subject to change, so please check out my shop for up-to-date prices!

I am going to be honest with you, and let you know, that if you click through any link in my Asexual shop on this site and you do make a purchase, I may get some monetary compensation for it! This helps to keep this site running, and pay for web hosting and domain renewal (which increase in price every year) so I can continue to bring you ace Asexual resources, inspiration, help, advice and guidance, and keep this blog going! So you get Asexual products all in one place, saving you time trawling through them all on Amazon and I get to keep this site going for you – win/win!

So keep your eyes peeled for a blog post announcing the official launch of this Asexualise Asexual shop, in the meantime, I have tested the shop with the products I already have on it and the shopping cart and checkout, and they are working! So you should be able to go ahead and make your selections! Just remember if you live outside the USA, and you cannot get the item shipped to your country, it will not be added to your Amazon shopping cart and there is currently no way I can get a notice added to pop up on the Amazon site to say this, through the redirect link, it simply won’t add the item/s to your actual shopping cart! If you have problems with this or you have any queries or questions, you can always reach out to me on chat which is available on every page, if I am not there at the time, as I am away producing more content for you, please leave your email and I will get back to you! You can also email me asexualise@gmail.com  I am also on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/acexualise

Until next time, stay ace!

ASEXUALITY CONFERENCE UK 2018 ASEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS DISCUSSION: WITH ASEXUALISE’S SANDRA BELLAMY

Posted on by Asexualise

Here is the first video (Asexual Relationships) from the Asexuality Conference UK. I was in a team 3 for this panel discussion and it is interesting to hear the varying viewpoints, and my short talk about Asexual Relationships starts about 03.48. My friend recorded this for me, and edited it for me. The person who introduces us did not want to be filmed, so you can only hear their voice and they have been cut out of any visuals.

THE ASEXUALITY UK CONFERENCE – ARE YOU READY AND FEELING ACE?

Posted on by Asexualise
UK Ace Con

Welcome to #APAM (Asexual Perspectives Awareness Month) which was founded by me, Sandra Bellamy, in July 2017, to celebrate the release of my Asexual Perspectives 47 Asexual Stories, Love, Life and Sex, ACElebration Of Asexual Diversity book, and to celebrate the diversity of all asexuals around the globe!

Asexual Perspectives Awareness month #APAM is 1-31st July 2018, and so it’s incredible that the UK Asexuality Conference is on during our celebration and that I am both a speaker and panelist for it – what a celebration that is!!! It is dream come true for me to do public speaking in London and on a topic I know so much about, just feels acesome. And I also have a very special announcement this month. Coming soon… So watch this space and my channel www.youtube.com/c/asexualisemyasexuallife for more detail about that – all I can say, is that it is a world first and super exciting!

And it’s not long to go now until the UK asexuality conference, which is on July 8th, at Westminster University in London, check out our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UKAceConference/

In the meantime, check out this great TedX Talk about asexuality from Lisa Zhang.

To quote YouTube this video is about “Lisa Zhang, a senior at Gunn High School, is an extremely talented artist in the Gunn art department as well as the co-president of the Gunn cartoon club. Zhang aspires to expose the topic of asexuality to the Gunn community, in order to promote a more open-minded student body on the issue of sexuality.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)”

UPDATE:

Here are the videos from the UK Asexuality Conference!
