Bubbly Intimacy

One of the most memorable Valentine's Day that I have ever had was so simple to create but yet so incredibly intimate. My lover had a bubble bath waiting for me when I got home from work.

Scented candles adorned all four corners of the tub, and a brand new fuzzy bathrobe, slippers and massage oils were carefully placed in a gift basket by the tub.

Oozing sensuality, I was instructed to get in and relax. He then began washing my body, starting with my shoulders, back, legs and even my hair.

This is the stuff that dreams are made of, and it's not only easy but affordable to set up.

Consider leaving your lover to soak and relax while you escape to set up a delicious meal. There's nothing better after a warm and relaxing bath than a hearty meal to finish the night off.

If it's later in the day, lead them into the bedroom where you have the traditional setting of flowers, chocolates, music and serenity, while you dance with them (slowly!). All your partner wants on Valentine's Day is your attention, your acknowledgement, and of course, you. The best memories are always from the simple gestures of love and devotion, so don't over think it.

Look deep into their eyes, give them your full attention. Take your time with every little thing you do.

When washing their body, circle their skin slowly with a new, clean sponge. Wash her or his hair thoroughly including combing it out, and massaging the scalp.

Purchase bath oils that will provide a relaxing and silky bath. Try out a fun and sensual bath game, and make sure to warm up her towel by throwing it in the dryer for a few minutes before she (or he) is ready to get out.

If your partner prefers showers, you can spice it up just the same. Opt for a nice, candlelit shower with music, candles or incense.

You can have a lot of fun with this and it will be a night to remember.
