August Is Romance Awareness Month!

August is Romance Awareness Month. During the summer months the focus is on the kids, swimming, vacations, family reunions and backyard barbecues. Romance if you let it, can take a back seat for the sake of the kids. When you let your love life go unattended for months at a time, it can be hard to find your way back.

 

It’s back to school time all over the country. For some couples it may be hard to find a babysitter to make room for romance in a special way. With the kids back in school, it may just be the perfect time to take a day off together, and simply enjoy each others company.

 

You may not be feeling at all romantic or perhaps you have lost your mojo! Here are a few tips to help jump start the flames of passion again. All of these tips are things that lend to greater romance overall. Things you can do all month to promote a healthy romantic life together. Let’s face it, romance makes your life sunny and bright! By the way…you can use these tips anytime, because anytime is the right time for romance.

 

1. A romantic bed picnic

Reconnect! Stop by your local grocer and pick up chopped fruit, chocolate sauce or chocolate bars to put in a melting pot for dipping. You can also pick up your favorite cheese and crackers, it’s brie for me please! Once you get home, now you are ready to set the mood in your room. Light candles load up the CD player with some great jazz or your favorite love songs, and spread out a blanket on the bed. Spend the evening simply talking like you may not have in a long time.

2. Speak love for 30 days

Send a different sexy, loving message each day.  Mix it up, send a text one day, and leave a voicemail message the next day.

 3. Take a bubble bath together

Once a week or as often as you like, take a romantic bubble bath together. If you don’t like bubbles, check out our relaxing bath salts. Light candles and sprinkle in rose petals for an added dash of romance.

 4. 30 Reasons why you love each other

Write each reason on a separate piece of paper. Put them in separate boxes and pull a different one each day, to brighten your day and remind you of your love for each other.

 5. The power of a love letter

Write a love letter or share something you are really proud of your mate for. A few ideas you can write about are, an accomplishment, a selfless act of kindness, what you love the most and why. Ladies seal it with a kiss and a dash of his favorite perfume. Guys, a spritz of her favorite cologne will do.

 6. Reading is fundamental

Turn off the TV, computer and phones. Take turns reading poetry or poems to each other.

 7. Flower power

Bring a different kind of flower home each day for 30 days. Trust me it is not difficult. There is such a variety of flowers to choose from.

8. Plan a weekend getaway during the month

Spend the night in a local hotel for a change of scenery, or stay the entire weekend if you can. Call us to create an atmosphere of ambiance for you to relax, relate, renew and enjoy the sunrise together.

9. Play to win

Play a romantic game of twister, truth or dare “strip Scrabble” with your mate. Each time a player earns 50 points, he or she must remove a layer of clothing. The person with the most clothing still on at the end wins.

10. Treat yourselves

Hire a masseuse and have his and her professional massages at home.

11. Sundae love

May sound corny but, order one large sundae or banana split with two spoons and feed each other. It is very sexy and romantic. There is something special about sharing.

12. Slow it down

One of my favorite slow jam lyrics provided by the late great Teddy Pendergrass, “Turn out the lights, light a candle” have a private dance together.

13. Memory lane

Sit down with a glass of your favorite bubbly and take a rummage through your photo albums together, and remember the good times.

14. A late night stroll

Go for late night walk under the stars and enjoy the breezy night amidst the calmness. Hold hands and stop for long kisses. It’s the little things done with love from the heart that keeps you close and the romance alive.

 

Tell me what you think. I’d love to hear from you. Let me know if you absolutely love these tips, or if you have one you’d like to share.

  

With Love!
