Kissing can be a huge turn on or a relationship train wreck. These basic kissing tips can get you and your date off to a smooth start.

February 24th, 2008

In the first stages of a relationship sparks and chemistry were all you needed for intimate encounters. There was rarely a time when the two of your weren’t in the mood. After time, these things start to fade as you get to know one another and settle into a routine, intimate encounters become fewer. This list has small details that together will work to set a romantic mood in a big way and help create some intimate encounters.

Ambiance
Bright lights make for an industrial, commercial feel. No light at all can be awkward. However, low lighting is perfect for setting the mood. It is intimate and romantic. This is why candles are so often associated with romance. You do not have to run around lighting candles to set the mood. If you have a dimmer on the light, turn the lighting to a soft glow. Small lamps or bulbs with lower wattage can also help set the mood.

Sounds
Background noise plays a big part in setting the mood. Noisy distractions and some TV programs do not enhance romantic feelings. Soft music or romantic movies can be great for adding to the mood.

Romantic Bath

February 24th, 2008

For an intimate and romantic evening, try a relaxing bath together. Celebrate your relationship and your love by preparing for this special event. To make sure your romantic bath makes a splash we suggest you take care of a few of the basics. Spring clean, set the mood and relax in your romantic bath for two.

Clean
Dirt and grime never have a place in romance, for a girl. Make sure to wipe down the inside of the tub, around the edge, shine up the faucet, wipe down the floor and shine up the mirror. Take the time to prepare the space. For those who do not clean well or do not have a tub, consider making reservations in a hotel suite or at a bed and breakfast.

Candles
Turn off those bright bathroom lights and create a softer glow with tea light candles. This intimate atmosphere is inviting and relaxing.

Music
Play some music. Classical, jazz, or your own love mix will create a great backdrop for relieving tension and setting the mood.

Scented Bath Balls
Have some effervescent bath balls close by. They release romantic fragrances as they fizz and bubble. Some even have dried flower petals that add to the bath mix. Read the rest of this entry »
