A surprise in their Shoe?



What is the last thing anyone puts on before going out for the day? Your shoes of coarse. So today's romantic tip is to slip a little excitement into your sweeties shoe. It doesn't have to be something expensive, I am sure jewelry would be appreciated. Things like their favorite candy bar, or tickets to a show later that evening would be nice. Think of things that would fit into their shoes without being able to see them. Imagine their face with they find something in their shoe when they try to slip it on. An old picture of the two of you could be a nice touch, an invitation to dinner or even a brand new pair of sexy panties might set their heart beating faster.




The important thing is to let them know you are thinking about them. The will understand that some planning had to go into this venture and will be delighted you put the extra effort into it. If their shoes are in bad shape maybe a gift card for some new ones. The ideas are as open as you are. So start thinking now of something foot sized that would make your partner feel special. Now go get it and slip it into their shoe. Just make sure it's not something that they can smash with their feet, no grapes please. Wine is better from the bottle.

Kiss outside your home!


Something that gets lost in the middle or relationships is the good night kiss. When you move in together or spend a lot of time at each others house, we all seem to move our kisses inside the house. My suggestion is the next time you have an enjoyable evening out you should kiss at the door as kind of an end to a great evening. Even if your are going to have more fun when you get inside, it is a nice statement and an innocent act that makes you think back to the first few times you were together. Think about how romantic it is to kiss under the stars on a warm summer evening, and I think you will definitely feel great about doing it.

Random Act of Kindness


It's time to take some action. Hopefully your relationship is strong and if not, it's time to put that aside for a bit and help someone else. If you look around, I am sure you can find someone not far from you that needs help. The older woman down the street that can't mow her yard very well, the family where both parents are unemployed, or maybe it's just your grandmother that can’t get out to the store very easy. I am sure when you start thinking about it there are several people around you that could use a boost up. Sometimes helping someone else is the best way to help ourselves.


My wife has told me several times about how lucky we are compared to some of the other couples she runs into. I agree with her. Sure there are a lot of things we would like to have, but we don't need them. Go out and do something for someone else with no expectations of a return. I think they call them random acts of kindness. Help someone load his/her groceries in to the car, stop and help someone with a flat tire, clean out your closet and donate all the clothes that you don't wear to charity. If you really think about it, we have an over abundance and it might even seem to others as if we are very rich when we see ourselves as unfortunate.


How can this help my relationship you might ask? Well if you’re asking that question, maybe you’re not ready to complete this activity. You should get a great sense of pride helping other people. That is the reward. Put that into a situation where both of you work together to help someone and you both get that feeling. Sharing that feeling with your partner is worth more money than you could ever make. I would love to hear about the two of you and how you helped someone out, so don't be shy. Share your stories with us.


Remember - sometimes the little things you do are the most appreciated thing you do!

Stand Up As a Sexy, Confident Woman


Is it time that you step up and stand out as a sexy, confident woman?  Get noticed by your man - or the man of your dreams.  Being willing to be in the spotlight even if that your audience is of just one - you know, your amazing guy, does not come naturally to everyone.  If you are serious about making a shift, then you need to make the effort to do some research, read great articles, books, etc. so that you can discover ways to take those steps - sure of yourself.  The more confident you are the sexier you become.  Remember though that confidence and arrogance are two different things - so use caution...it really is a bit of a balancing act. 

Check out various relationship blog posts and discover awesome insight.  We particularly liked this blog post, Develop Sexy Confidence He Can't Resist

How to Not Lose Touch With Your Sweetie


It is so easy to lose touch with your beloved partner.  In these modern times, it has become easier and easier to tune in to the television, your computer, your phone or your iPad.  This means you are tuning out from your sweetheart and your intimate relationship.  It may not seem so at first, but eventually, even being turned on by your lover will wane and become second to today’s media and digital gadgets and other things you fill your life with.  It is vital to stay tuned in to your relationship and to your partner so that you stay turned on by them too!  Only then can you work towards experiencing a long-lasting committed relationship filled with love and trust.   

Relationships are actually spiritual paths for each of us.  Your romantic intimate relationship is the most profound of all.  It will offer you a mirror for your deepest emotions, expressions, neurotic patterns (we ALL have them), love, compassion, and humor to be reflected back to you in some fashion.  
So, how can you reignite intimacy and sensual pleasure in your relationship?  And, if you still have it, how can you take it to the next level?

A Quick Note About Sensuality vs. Sexuality
More often than not if someone says to you, “That was a sensual delight.”  Your mind will instantly think “sex”.  But, sensual pleasure is really about gratifying the senses – all of them – not just the five physical ones.  You don’t have to involve physical lovemaking to experience your sensuality.  Delighting in the sight of your lover, hearing his/her laugh, smelling a special cologne, holding hands or sharing a massage, or tasting his/her lips are sensual experiences.  Connecting to your own soul, your lover’s soul, and your spirituality is also very sensual. 

Know YOU – Get Connected to Your Own Soul
Getting in touch with yourself, with your soul is the first step in reigniting or upleveling your intimate and sensual pleasure in life and in your relationship.  If you aren’t aware of your spirituality, simply focus on getting in touch with YOU.  Whatever or whoever you are to you. 

The easiest and quickest way to reconnect with your soul is by first recognizing those things in your life that simply light you up inside.  They feel like they are the wind in your sails.  These things can be anything: drumming; singing; teaching; hiking; swimming; dancing; laughing; making love; cooking; gardening; cycling; etc.  There is no right or wrong.  Only you have the answer to what makes you feel this way.  The second step is to make sure you have some of these unique-to-you things in your life daily, weekly, monthly.  Bring them in to your life as often as you can.
You will be happier and this happiness will feed into your relationship.  Share these joys with your lover.

Know Your Sweetheart – Connect to His/Her Soul
This will take your relationship to a deeper level.  Once you (re)connect with your soul – yourself, it is vital that you connect with your sweetheart in a similar way.  What makes him/her light up?  How can you support that and bring more of that into your lives?  If both of you do this and then share it together, you will discover a beautiful aspect of your relationship that you may not have been aware of before.   

Communicate
Communication is key to every single aspect of your relationship.  Yet, not everyone communicates in the same way.  You may be able to talk about your joys, your sorrows, what happened at work today, what the dog did to irritate you, what your best friend posted on your Facebook wall and what is upsetting you in your relationship.  But, your lover may not be able to easily talk about these things.  We can express our feelings through ways other than verbal communication.  It may come through singing, painting, or drawing.  Of course, one of the biggest ways to communicate is through body language.  Be fully present and truly pay attention to your lover.  Listen – deeply – to what he/she may say.  Observe his/her actions or reactions.  There are clues and often, clear messages even if the two of you communicate very differently.

Share Laughter and Play Together      
Don’t take life or yourself too seriously.  Yes, of course, there are very serious aspects, but letting go and goofing around, laughing and being playful is a huge key to happiness and feeling joyful.  This will deepen the closeness between the two of you, which will ultimately help you enhance your sensuality overall. 

Laugh at the dinner table.  Laugh while brushing your teeth.  Laugh throughout your day anywhere and everywhere that you can.  And, for God’s sake, laugh in the bedroom!
Share inside jokes with each other.  Maybe they will relate to a funny bedroom experience or something completely different, but they will be your little secret.  People will envy your closeness.  Allow yourselves to be like two young lovebirds giggling and whispering.
Sharing more laughter with each other and deepening your intimate bond will open a doorway for the two of you to experience powerful, playful passion all day long.  You will be able to feel it pretty much everyday.  Draw upon it when something gets you down or something causes you stress. 

Continue to Learn and Grow Together
Continually seek new things to learn.  You can take classes together or pick up a new hobby together.  Yet, be bold enough to have new experiences individually, too.  By honoring and respecting your lover’s individuality you are helping the two of you grow.  You need to honor and respect YOU, your lover, and your relationship.  You are teammates, but you don’t need to stay attached at the hip all the time either. 

Step outside your comfort zone.  Oh boy, this is a big one!  You can’t grow and sustain a beautiful relationship if you refuse to step outside of your comfort zone.  If you allow fear (fear of failing, fear of rejection, fear of looking like an idiot, fear of???) to keep you within in the boundaries of what you know already, then you prevent yourself from the potentiality of amazing new experiences and from continued growth.  Staying in your comfort zone without learning to step outside of it (even just a tiny baby step) will cause your life to become stagnate.  Hmmm…what will that do your relationship? 
Imagine a beautiful flowing stream always moving and changing when the need arises.  Hear the gentle trickle and smell the fresh air. Now imagine a stagnant pool of water with debris piled up in it.  No pleasant sounds of moving water and a nasty stench to boot.  Would you prefer to continue gently flowing into the unknown or stay stagnate and backed-up? 

Put It All Together
Get in touch with you.  Truly know your own soul.  Dive deep into whom your partner/lover/spouse is and whom he/she becomes as you continue your path together.  Communicate on numerous levels.  Talk to your lover, but be aware of your other forms of communication – body language, eye contact, and much more.  Be playful and bring more laughter into your lives.  Intentionally and willingly step outside of your comfort zone so that you continue to learn and experience new things. 

These are simple ways to not only reignite your passion for your relationship, but for your life.  When passion and deep intimacy is sustained in your romantic relationship, your relationship will be stronger and more beautiful than you may ever have imagined.

Soft, Sexy Carpet




Sometimes when you are updating your house you over look some of the things that might come in handy later. Carpet is one of those things.

When you choose a carpet for your house you need to think about other things than cost.

I know most people try to get the cheaper carpet figuring they might have to replace it later. I want you to look at it from a different perspective. From the ground up, if you will.

How much time are you going to spend on the carpet? Do you and your partner like to lay on the floor and watch TV or talk? Do you have children that just like to roll around on the ground?

These type of questions might make you see why a super, soft, comfortable carpet might just be worth the money. I personally enjoy just laying on the carpet with my sweetheart or my children all snuggled up with me. It also makes a great place to stretch and work out. Sit-ups are a lot better on a great carpet.

Now, if you get new carpet, you know you are not going to wear your shoes on it and this way you will enjoy taking your socks off and feeling the soft feeling on your bare feet. Lastly, what if you and your partner want to get a little frisky on the carpet? Maybe you fall off the bed, think about the feeling of the soft, warm carpet on your bare skin compared to the cheap carpet that is just put in to last so long.

If you can't afford new carpet, you can pick up a nice soft rug to put in the middle of your living room or bedroom. Which ever place you plan on rolling around on the floor. *Wink Wink

Create a Blog of your relationship!


We keep scrapbooks, and pictures and it all ends up being a cluster in our spare room. We don't devote the time and effort to what it really needs because it is just not easy. Why not create a relationship blog for the two of you to enjoy. You don't have to publish it for the general world to find and it is easy to write and post pictures on with the use of blogger.com. Think about it all you do is come home after a wonderful day and post your feelings about each other and the fun you are having together. Download some pictures from you camera and whamo you have all you stuff documented for your to go back and look at anytime you want. The service is free and it will take a lot less time then cutting and pasting all those little pieces of paper and pictures. Below is the link to get yourself started.

Tought times make romance even more important.


Right now most people are in the same boat. We are all having to really nit pick what we spend our money on. With this most of the romantic things we use to spend money on are falling to the way side until better times return. For the romantic at heart this is a real bummer, however if you are creative you can still bring the romance home in other forms. Maybe you can't afford a big fancy dinner out, but maybe you can make a nice meal at home for your partner and you to enjoy. A huge bunch of flowers might be just a little too much, but a nice single rose still says "I Love You" For every romantic thing you use to do you can find a less expensive version. Going out for drinks can be replaced with buying some booze for home and inviting friends over to play board games. Spending the night snuggling on the couch watching movies under a blanket with microwave popcorn can replace going to the megaplex and paying $10 a piece to see the same movie. I hope you see where I am headed with all this. You don't have to stop being romantic you just have to find less expensive ways to do the same things. However some to the best things are and will always be free. Long talks, hand in hand walks, and making love all night are still high on the romantic list and to my knowledge have never cost anything.

Need input for a dating book


Currently I am working on a book that covers the ins and outs of dating. I would love to hear from my viewers as to what things or places would be great ideas to do on a first date. I am anxious to hear about all your ideas as you feed my interests. I can think of all the things I feel are great ideas but I want to branch out and make sure I hit all areas of the spectrum. On the other hand I would love to hear places that you think would be the worst places for a date. Tell me the most idiotic places that a date has taken you to or the worst restaurants. I will be listening carefully for your replies.

Journal great events in your relationship


Journaling is a great way to remember and sort things out. Why not do this in our relationship also? You can call it a diary but for the men we will call it a journal. Jot down short notes to make you remember things as the happen in your relationship. This such as the first kiss, or experiencing something for the first time are great suggestions. You partner will be amazed when down the road you can remember things about the early part of your relationship. With each entry make sure to include the date and anything that would stand out to you. You can also include things like what both of you were wearing or if your partner looked especially nice on this evening. Write down things that make you love your partner even more, like if they help an old woman cross the street, or just playing with the kids. Then when you partner asks you "Why do you love me" you have plenty of ammo to fire at them. Unfortunately some times we forget little things that mean so much, but with journaling these memories are just a page turn away.

Debate.


Some of the greatest and most passionate conversations I have ever had during my relationships is when the two of us have debated an issue. I love trying to get my point acrossed to the my partner and I enjoy listening to their side. Debates are fun because they are a controlled argument. You may not agree with the other persons view but you don't get upset with them. Some great topics to discuss are the economy, health, spirituality, and sex. They allow you to express yourself and talk in a manner of calmness. Here is what I like to do crack open a bottle of wine and just sit on the deck or porch and talk til the wee hours of the morning. I love it because I get to experience someone else's point of view and sometime that special lady in my life has swayed me to her side. It is a form of education if you will and all you have to do is look on the Internet for something to debate about. Give it a try tonight I believe it can bring you closer together as a couple and gives your partner a little more insight into you.

Be Nice to everyone!


One thing I find extremely attractive in a person is the way they treat others. Are you the type of person that helps others out in time of need or offers your assistance when someone you care about is in trouble. These type of qualities are factors that could possibly attract the person of your dreams to you. Haven't you seen in the movies where someone does something nice and it seems like they are rewarded with the person of their dreams. This can happen to you. Just start being nice to everyone even if they are nasty to you. Turn the other check if you have to and just say "I'm sorry you feel that way" and explain your side of the situation. Not only will this make you attractive to others, it will make you attractive to yourself. You will feel good and not carry baggage around with you in your daily life. Think of how many times you have let someone upset you, only to carry it around with you all day. Thinking about how you should have told them off or what you should have done to them. If you can let it roll of your back think of better use of your time you would have. Start today it is not to late, be nice.

Encourage someone else!



Encouragement is one of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone. Now if you are in a relationship with that person it is even more of an offering. Get behind them no matter what they want to try and do. If they want to go back to school help them find a way to achieve that dream. Their are a lot of things people want to do and never really seem to get around to doing them. Some night when you are sitting talking to each other find out the other person's passions, what are somethings that interest them. Then you simply encourage them to go for it. Maybe it is ballroom dancing or learning sign language. One thing that I always feel is that we can never learn enough in our lifetime. We can always learn something new, and that goes for even older people. To make your life exciting pick something new to learn and enjoy whenever you can. The last thing you want for yourself or your partner is to sit around in a chair watching television. Get both of your out and enjoy your life to the fullest, encourage, encourage, encourage and then encourage them some more.

Zoo it up!


One of the most romantic places to take a date early in your relationship is the zoo. This may seem a little silly but think about it. You get to walk around all the time, with no agenda you don't have to be a the lion cage at seven o'clock for your reservation. You have lots of things that can visually stimulate a conversation, with the animals, obviously. You can also talk about the crowd and the children as well as other things around the zoo. As you walk you have many chances to get away from the crowd and get some one on one time. Just find an exhibit that not many people find interesting and you can sit there and talk about what ever you feel like. Being at the zoo also gives you and your date a feeling of freedom. You are not enclosed like the animals and you are free to roam about the entire facility. You can even find a bench just to sit and enjoy the day. The next time you are wondering where to take a date early in the relationship don't look past the zoo, it might just be the place where the two of you will hit it off.
