Passionate romantic tip of the 12th of February - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

It's not that original, but it works. A little love note written on the
bathroom mirror is a wonderful way to start the day (or night). There are
several ways to put a loving message on the bathroom mirror. You can write it with your finger on the steamed up mirror after you have taken your shower
(that means you have to take yours first). You can sneak into the bathroom
while he or she is in the shower and write a message on the steamed up mirror.

Some bathrooms have better ventilation than others so it might be difficult to
get your mirror to steam up.
There are more creative ways to leave a message. I have used Rain-X anti fog (found in the automotive section of department store) and a cotton swap to write messages on the mirror. The trick here is that whatever you write with the solution (rubbing alcohol will work as well) will not show up when the
mirror fogs up. So you don't even need to be around for the magical message to appear.

Another way to leave a love note is with an old tube of lipstick that your
wife no longer uses or a bar of soap. Be warned, however, that even though
she will be wildly impressed with the act of romance, she may make you clean the mirror.

TWO FORKS, TWO KNIVES, ONE PLATE

Have you ever watched Lady and the Tramp? If I ask you what is the
first thing that comes to mind, you probably would say the scene
where they are sharing a plate of spaghetti.

There is no doubt about it, food is romantic. It amplifies the senses
and fulfills one of our deepest needs. There are certain types of
food that are romantic by nature: chocolate, strawberries and small
pastries for example. Then there are foods that are romantic because
of the atmosphere: surrounded by candles, elegant music playing in
the background, or served on a linen covered table with a vase of
fresh flowers.

Who would have thought that a plate of spaghetti could be so
romantic? But Lady and the Tramp showed us that sharing one plate is
a perfect way to be united with one another. Have you ever eaten off
the same plate as your love? How often do you feed each other? When
was the last time you shared a strand of spaghetti or a baby corn
and ended in a kiss?

Everyone has to eat. But not everyone has to have their own plate.

passionate idea of the 24th of April...

I know some people actually come up with certain hand signals to
say 'I love you' silently. I have heard of those that will do so by
touching their finger to the tip of their nose. Some will raise one
finger, followed by four and then three - signifying the number of
letters in that special phrase. Of course you can point to your eye,
then your heart and then your sweetheart to get the message across.

Once you have mastered the 'I Love You' you can move on to more
difficult phrases by tugging on your ear, tapping your chin, rubbing
your temple and other signals. If pitchers and coaches can do it,
why can't lovers?

The Romance of Candlelight

When you think of creating a romantic mood or effect, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Besides a great partner to be amorous with, candles are usually at the top of the list. What is it about this item that makes it so irrefutably synonymous with romance? It could be it's classic elegance, the delightful playfulness of firelight twinkling in a room or maybe it's the way a person's skin seems to take on an almost angelic glow when in this lustrous light. No matter what the reason, candles and the light they cast will always remain an essential ingredient for romance. In fact, it is not just a romantic additive, but also a way to mark special occasions and celebrations. Candles are used to celebrate birthdays, weddings and many other special life events so it's inclusion in a couple's romantic life, seemingly, is a natural step.

How you go about using candles to enhance your romantic life, though, can be done in a myriad of ways. Truly the possibilities of this magical influence are endless. If you've felt your romantic creativeness waning then make it a priority to spend some time in the aura of candlelight. Some candlelight interlude ideas include: sharing a drink together, relaxing over romantic music, giving a massage, sharing a meal or having an intimate talk.

For everyday romance you might try placing candles on the dining table, in the bathroom or on a night stand next to your bed. If either you or your partner has had a stressful day, use aromatic candles known for their calming or aphrodisiac qualities. Also play with the colors, height, texture, style and grouping of your candles. Each change creates a different effect. Find the one you like the best.

Special romantic evenings or other events are definitely heightened with the addition of candles,especially in large quantities. For your next interlude, try filling the entire room with candlelight or using a variety of different shaped, sized and colored candles. You could also create a heart or the words "I love you" with the candles. Tea lights also work well for those purposes.

You may also try giving a special, sentimental candle a month to your love. Each month hunt down a candle either through the Internet or in local stores, gift wrap it and leave it in a special place for your love to find. Let them know the candle is to be lit only during special romantic times with each other. Make it a point to find time to light the candle at least once a week.

The idea is encourage and invite romance through this time-honored romantic symbol. Make it a point to indulge and bask in the glow of candlelight at least once a week, even if it's solo time spent in the bath or over a good book. Your life will be just that bit more romantic for it
