Put The SEXY Back in Your Relationship

Are you having trouble coming up for ideas for Valentine's Day or you just don't feel like mustering up the energy to celebrate? Create love resolutions to amp up your romance by the middle of February. You'll combine the freshness of the new year with the romance of Valentine's Day to create a whole new outlook on your love life with your significant other. As a bonus, you and your partner will feel sexier as a result of achieving lasting love resolutions.

Take five to focus on your appearance where the goal is to project confidence through looking good for yourself and your honey. Brush your hair or define your lashes by adding mascara. Picking even one area to bring out your outer and inner beauty will send a message, even at a subconscious level, that you are taking care to look good. Carving out the time for primping leads to you feeling sexier every day.

How Do You Play the Game?

What is the game?

The game is a book by author, Neil Strauss. He considers himself to be a pickup artist. For those who are curious, you can buy the book on amazon by clicking here.

“The game” also refers to that time old mating duel that occurs between men and women.

Is the game ultimately what attracts a guy to a girl (and vice versa)? What exactly is the game?

This is where a man or woman ultimately portrays self-confidence to attract the other. Today, in our society, a man could court a woman and pay the bill for a nice dinner out on the town and the concert or movie after. Most people in our culture would see this man projecting an air of confidence by taking care of the woman of his affections. Read more about How Do You Play the Game?

Romantic Fun Using Your "ABC's"

"Split this date into two days if you run out of time on the first day."

I came across this date listed on hotdateideas.com while I was searching for something fun to do with my husband during our holiday break. We ended up not having time to do it then but I plan to suggest it for Valentines Day.

What is Romance, Really

Romance is such an elusive word. What does it mean? To put it bluntly, romance is a term coined with the mystery and excitement of fancying someone. It can also be defined as nonsensical or an impractical state of mind.

Rent a Room to Ring in a Spicy New Year

Do you have a bit of money saved up and are looking for a different way to spend New Year's Eve? Rent a room and purchase some low-cost champagne, fruit and cube cheese for a romantic accompaniment to your evening. My husband and I enjoy doing this type of date once every six months to a year, depending on what our budget allows. It's a fun and sexy way to spend an evening and what better night to consider it than the night before the New Year dawns.

Cross Your Sweetheart Off Your Shopping List

Did you realize, suddenly, that it's the last few days before the arrival of Christmas morning and you haven't yet gotten a gift for your significant other? Don't fret, you're covered with homemade love coupons. Present to your honey as a cute, sexy and affordable way to say merry Christmas. Watch the delight spread across her face as she opens her present and sees that she can redeem them anytime she wants. She'll love the fact that the coupons appear like you put a lot of effort into making them.

You will need items such as colored construction paper and makers to craft your coupons. Other things that up the creativity factor for your homemade love coupons include glitter, ribbons and calligraphy pens. Purchase red and green construction paper if you want to keep in line with the Christmas theme. Look in stores for red, green, gold and silver glitter to line the edges with. Find silver and gold calligraphy pens in craft stores and large shopping centers such as Walmart and Meyers.

Have a Fun and Romantic Evening Baking Christmas Cookies

Mexican Wedding Cookie Recipe

Some of the best nights I can remember during the three years that my husband and I have been together center around baking. The best thing about baking is that you can keep things simple and low-cost or you can get as extravagant as your budget allows. We love baking cookies and every once and a while we'll break out a few glasses and pour some wine to up the romantic factor. Since Christmas is right around the corner I thought that mentioning a date where you can spend time together and enjoy the baked goods afterward would fit in nicely with this post.

How to Have a Romantic Evening By Candle or Firelight

Set the Stage for a Romantic Winter Evening

Some of the best dates I've ever had took place in a dimly lit room, at home, surrounded by good food. I remember when my husband chose a very creative way to get me to unwind after stressful week of writing non stop and worrying about money. He asked me to stay in the office for a while and told me that he would come get me when he was ready. An hour and a half later he pulled me out to see the most romantic setting. He had candles burning, (we don't have a fireplace) classical music on low and dinner on the table. That night was awesome because I came out relaxed, he did something great for me and the fun lasted long after we finished supper.

How to Plan a Star Gazing Date

Romantic Date Night Idea

As the heart of Fall approaches, and along with it the colder weather, I realized that this is a great time to mention a new frugal and intimate date night idea. My husband and I are lucky in the fact that we live somewhere where we have a great view of the sky. We ate up many nights sitting in two chairs while looking up at the sky. That doesn't mean, however, that those of you who don't have a great view of the sky can't participate in an evening of romantic star gazing.

The reason I mentioned that the cool weather is a great time to star gaze has to do with the fact that the two of you can snuggle under a blanket while gazing at the night sky. What better way to spend quality time?

Several choices are available for you to pick from regarding how to set up a star gazing date with your significant other. Include information such as the best time to go star gazing, the best items to bring with you and a good location where you won't get ran out by the police.
