Don't forget Mothers Day

Let me tell you this. A lot of women judge how you will treat them in a relationship by how you treat your mother. They feel like this was the main female figure in your life and how you treat her is how you treat women in general. Of coarse this is not always the case but showing if it is showing affection for your mother on Mothers Day works double. Not only to you make your mother feel special but you make your partner feel like she has made the right choice. A simple bouquet of flowers will do the trick, just make sure to pick up two of them. If you partner is also the mother of your children make sure to make a huge deal about it on mothers day make sure to make her feel as special as she is.

What ice cream flavor are you?

I use to think that when you determined what type of ice cream you liked you had 2 choices, chocolate and vanilla. Just like a relationship that is wrong there are so many other choices and flavors to choose from. What flavor does your partner like, forget the boring plain ice creams of the past start finding ones from today. Ben and Jerry's has a unlimited supply of flavors with cool names that can be a special treat for your partner and you. Some of them include Cherry Garcia, Dublin Mudslide, Boston Creme Pie, Fossil Fuel, and my favorite Chunky Monkey. The nice thing about Ben and Jerry's is that they come in a small container because they are loaded with calories and are a little expensive also. However, the taste is worth it. You can find click her to find Ben and Jerry's web site. Then go out and find the flavor that is just right for both of you, then the next time your partner needs a little pick me up or somethings special the two of you can split a little cup of joy.

Replace Sugary treats with kisses and love.

During the holidays it is so easy to find comfort it food. There are so many wonderful items to partake of during this season. Cookies, snacks, and rich foods make up the items that people make during the holidays that we don't usually find during the other times of the year. If you want a way to avoid falling into the Christmas treat trap, you need to look no father then your partner. They can be the support you need to fend off these sugary treats. Make a pact with your partner that every time you feel like picking up a cookie, rice crispy treat or any other sugary item that instead you will stroll over and give them a kiss instead. This will soon become a conditioned response and you will find yourself doing it without even thinking. You might just walk by some cookies and feel a desire to kiss your partner. The nice part about kisses is they don't have any calories and they can lead to lots more fun things to do around the holidays. Plus kisses taste a whole lot better!

Be Romantic Stock up on Cold and Flu Supplies

The season is upon us that live in colder climates. Cold and Flu season can hit you and your partner hard at anytime. You can do your best to prevent it from sidelining the two of you but chances are at some point and time you will have to confront it. Nothing says that you care about someone more then when you are prepared for them being sick. The last thing you want to do is to have to run out to a busy store at this time of year and spend a half hour to an hour waiting in line, to get some cold and flu supplies. Go through your cabinets and look for outdated remedies, as well as stuff that is absent from your cabinet. Then make a store run to pick up your favorite remedies to restock your medicine cabinet. Then the first time your partner is under the weather, you can treat them quickly and snuggle with them instead of running all over town standing in busy stores. Doing this can also save you money to as it affords you the luxury of finding coupons or special deals on the products you use. When you run out at the last minute the last thing you are looking for is you coupons or any special deals, you just want to get what you need a get home. If you have any children in your house you should do the same thing for them, to be prepared. Sure we all want to think about candle lit dinners when we think of romance but romance starts with care and concern for someone special and comforting someone that is ill will make you look like a saint in their eyes.

Whats your self image?

One of the biggest reasons people tend to shy away from sexual activities, is their self image. They feel like they don't look the models they see on the men's fitness magazines or on the cover of Vogue. Because of this defeating self image, they make sure the lights are out when they undress and can't understand why their partner wants to watch them. These types of actions can really hurt a relationship. As the partner that wants to see your body feels like you don't want to show it to him/her. Believe me 99.9% of the people in these world do not have they body of a model.

Here is where we start improving your self image. Number one is you have to be comfortable with yourself. Understand that you have the body that was given to you and you have to deal with it. As long as you feel comfortable then no one else matters. Second start exercising, even it is only walking to work, it will make you feel better and help your overall health. Third, treat yourself like a god/goddess. Treat yourself to indulges that make you feel good. Finally, understand that when you partner says they think you are beautiful, they truly do see you as beautiful. Think about it this way if your in a committed relationship and your partner is telling you how beautiful you are, they are not just saying that to get in your pants.

Now I want you to throw your shoulders back and say to yourself, "I am Wonderful" and carry that feeling with you everywhere you go. The next time you and your lover are about to get it on let them see how beautiful you are and leave the light on. Watch their eyes and you will truly see how beautiful you are to them.

Tonight no matter where you are get some supplies and make some smores. Get the chocolate, marshmallows, and gram crackers and make the tasty treat with you partner.

Smores are gooey and a great way to start a conversation as you try not to make a mess of yourself. Take turns making the treat and decide who makes the best smores in your relationship.
