THE MANY EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE
Here are some things you can do to make the sparks of romance fly:
?While your loved one is at work, use your spare key to open their car door and place roses and a card in their driver's seat. This will show your loved one your true feelings.
?Don't buy your loved one a commercial type card to declare your love. Make them one and send it to them in the mail, even if you live together. The card will surprise your loved one!
?Give your loved one a small decorated box. On the inside flap write "These are 50 of the many reasons why I love you." Create 50 brightly-colored folded strips of paper inside with various phrases...all declaring your love. Fill each strip of paper with something very personal and include some special surprises like a gift certificate to their favorite spa.
?Spend the night outdoors together on a really warm, clear night. Name a star after him/her and register that name on-line.
?Cook the love of your life what will be a favorite meal. Use candles, a bottle of red or white wine, then follow this up with a back and neck massage. Do this just because and ask for nothing in return. For message oils use sandalwood, lavender or ylang ylang. The art is to please your loved one. Watch the night just sizzle!
?Send your loved one on a scavenger hunt. Have him find his goodies (prepaid and waiting) at the bakery, deli, wine store etc., and when he gets home meet him at the door in something very sheer. Feed him blindfolded and then hand him a Polaroid camera and tell him to have a ball!
?Have a conversation a day (on the phone or at home) where you whisper to the other person and let them know you love them and miss them. Your whisper will capture their attention.
?Run your love a bath, adding oil and bubbles. Fill the bathroom and bedroom with tea candles everywhere. Bathe your partner very slowly and massage the water and oil into their skin very gently. Tease them with kisses. Finish by presenting a warmed, fluffy bath towel and give a long kiss while drying them off. Complete your love ritual by rubbing your partner down with a sensual lotion.
?Leave a trail of Hershey's Kisses with the pieces of paper that say "KISSES" taken out and replaced with your own romantic quotes. Make this trail lead to the shower to find roses and a note that says, "Now that I have kissed the ground you walk on and showered you with roses................You fill in the blanks!
?Draw little hearts all over some post it notes and place them in your loved ones lunch box, place on the bathroom mirror, etc. Just use your imagination.
?Line a delicate trail of rose petals to lead to your bed and place one sweet love letter on top of a mound of the scented rose petals. Your loved one will melt!
?Leave a single pink rose on your loved ones pillow for the next morning....
?Sing a love song in the shower and be sure to use your loved ones name.
?Wear your loved ones cologne or perfume for the day. This will forever remind you of them.
?Wrap a small mirror in a delicately laced piece of fine cloth and beautiful ribbon, then present this to your lover. Tell them, "I want you to know that this is what I treasure most in my life..."
?Present your loved one with a small locket with a picture of you both, each on one side. Use a long silken cord or ribbon instead of a chain.
?Give him or her flowers on each of your children's birthdays.
?A thoughtful heart is a romantic heart!?
