Ms. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is all smiles on the UK issue of Cosmopolitan April 2011 issue. In this edition, she shares tips on how to keep your relationship sensually spicy, the power of confidence and her thoughts on starting a family:

On how to keep it tight:
Put on good music and something that makes you feel great. I love a pair of high, sexy stilettos with a beautiful dress. Never be predictable. Mix it up. Surprise him. Change your hair. Be the woman he knows with a little bit of a twist.

On the importance of self-confidence:
“You can be beautiful, but if you’re not secure in yourself, you don’t come across as sexy. My attitude is, there is always room for growth. I feel more comfortable about expressing myself.”

On maintaining a good health/body image:
“I love my butter pecan ice cream, but I also love to work out. We all have our issues. Mine is arms and legs, keeping them tight and toned. It takes work, believe me.”

On the her future family plans:
