Let the smells of outside in.


Fresh mowed grass, the gentle wind, the people next door cooking out are all great smells that come from the outside. Instead of the musty smells that can accumulate during the days of the windows being shut. Take advantage of the cool mornings and let the wonderful smells of the outside inside. You might just find that opening the windows is liberating to you and your nose and senses. Try it today and see how much you mood increases.

Bring some home when going on a trip


We have a special little trick we use when we go on a trip. We never can seem to get a comfortable bed like our one at home when we get a hotel room. The pillows are always thin and have no substance to them. There is no chance of getting a good night sleep in a strange bed with pillows that you could slid in a pizza box. What we do is bring a little home with us. No we can't bring our bed but we can bring our pillows. The pillows help make us feel like we are in our own bed even if the bed isn't ours. They smell like our house, we get the same neck support and they are easy to pack. Yes pillows are easy to pack all you have to do is have a vacuum and you can fit your pillow into your suitcase. Get a bag or one of those new air removing devices and you will have your pillow flat as a pancake to pack. Then just open the bag and let the air in and your pillow springs back to life. In this manner you can make the sleeping part of your trip a little more romantic and a lot less uncomfortable.

Crock Pot Cooking! How Romantic!


Crock Pot Cooking how in the world can that be romantic? Well when you cook in the crock pot you get a wonderful meal that is tender and juicy without spending hours in front of the grill or stove. With spending less time in front of the stove you have more time to enjoy your partner. So you can watch a movie, play a game, or fool around a little all while your dinner is cooking. Plus the smells of the dish you are cooking helps tantalize the sense of smell as it fills the whole house with the wonderful aroma. You also look like a chef when your dish is done and all you have to do is throw in the ingredients and stir them from time to time and presto. It does take a little planning but nothing compared to cooking a whole meal on the stove. Some great ideas are roast and potatoes, chili, soups and even Mexican dishes. This also gives the sense of the house being more comfortable with the warmth the crock pot fills the kitchen with. Check the Internet today for some great recipes that will not only have your partner drooling for your food but gives a chance to enjoy their company at the same time it's cooking.

Fall is a great time for romantic walks and hayrides during harvest.


The colors and beauty of fall is all around us and once in a while we even get some warm weather. So take advantage of any day that warms up and grab your partner and head out on a wonderful walk that will let you enjoy the vast colors of autumn. Plan a walk through the woods or on a path that has lots of different trees so you get a contrast of colors. Streams can add a nice back ground sound for you walk and the leaves rushing down the river add a zest you can only find in the fall. Make sure to take a sweatshirt or coat in case it gets a little chilly in the cover of the woods. Another great idea is to find a hayride that takes you through the beautiful country side. Grab a blanket and snuggle up as you ride along and get to experience this time of year that is a wonderful time. The harvest time has always been a great time to enjoy life, it was when all the crops were stored and ready for the winter. Winter will soon be here so get out and enjoy the crisp clean air with you mate. Breath it in and smell the wonderful scents of autumn as you stroll hand in hand.

Car Scents


Want to impress you date, partner, lover, etc. Scents make for a powerful memory and they can set a mood from the first whiff. Why not put that powerful attack on their senses out right from the start. Go out to your local discount store and pick out a car air freshener that has a light yet definite scent. Now lets go over some details. First of all you don't want one of those green trees hanging from you mirror, that would look dorky plus your partner will notice right away where the scent is coming from. These mirror hangers tell your partner that you just threw the freshener up in a couple of minutes. I suggest hiding them under the seat this makes them wonder did you spend the whole day cleaning out your car to pick them up in. Another thing you need to consider that most of these air fresheners are pretty strong at first. I would suggest letting them air out a little before you put them in your car. Let them sit outside for a day then put them in your car. The last thing you want to do is have your partner get a terrible headache from the smell that is way to strong. Make sure you pick a scent that matches you. Don't get a floral scent it you are a macho guy and don't get a leather smell if you are a delicate lady. You can create a feeling for the whole date in just the first few seconds with the smell you choose.

Making Sense of Scents


Do you have special scents that remind you of specific times or places in your life? I know several that stick out in my mind. The smell of the ocean, fresh pineapple in Hawaii, the perfume my wife wears, or the smell of our freshly changed sheets, all remind me of special times. Now how do you incorporate that feeling into being romantic. Simple, you just find out what smells are triggers for you partner and do a little searching on the Internet for candles with that scent and bingo, bango, bongo, your romantic. Imagine your partner coming home to a house that smells like the ocean on your last vacation. What about pumpkin pie smell in the fall or pine tree around Christmas time. If you click on the title of this post you will be directed to the Candle-Licious web site where they have several scents to choose from.




Don't go for the normal scents try to find something that is specific to your relationship. Maybe your partner likes the smell of leather well Candle-Licious has that scent in their catalog. Put some time into finding the right scent and set the mood for the two of you to remember things from your past.
