So Much Pretty

Romance (and commerce!) are in the air – it must be Valentine’s Day. Love it! While I don’t buy into flowers marked up 300% (I used to work at a florist, so I know!) or squishy little teddy bears my dog will probably eat, I am into being pampered and seduced. Or the other way around. So here are some tools to help you secure a va-va-voom night, on February 14th or you know, whenever!

Everyone’s favorite chocolatier, Godiva, decided to unveil it’s latest trick: CANDLES. At least these are calorie-free and will last a hell of a lot longer, right? Available in Peppermint Bark, Raspberry Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Strawberry (perfect for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?) and the one I tried, Black Almond Truffle, they’re kind of AMAZING. Now whether or not these candles will curb or enhance your craving for chocolate is totally up-in-the-air, but they will smell DELECTABLE and SET THE SCENE, if you know what I’m sayin’. (I hope you know what I’m sayin’.) Plus they last forever. And did I mention? CALORIE-FREE!

Next, slip into the World’s Most Comfortable Thong, a Hanky Panky! They’re available in a variety of rises, including a mid-rise which is absolutely my favorite (sorry, low-rise fans – I’m just not into whale tails!) and they even have plus-sizes. You can also get your thong personalized with your babe’s name or the year of your anniversary (or your divorce, if you want to feel liberated, haha!) or whatever you want! Just a fancy extra touch, and extra touches are what romance is all about.

Alright, you’ve got your candles flickering, your sexy personalized thong goin’ on, and a whole lot of romance. What’s left? Hell-o! A massage! Get it on with Inttimo by Wet, a massage oil made by one of the top companies in lubricants, available in 4 difference scents: Forbidden Fruit, Romance, Tranquility, and the one I have – Sensuality, which is Ylang Ylang and Tuberose to “inspire a spontaneous extroverted sense of being.” Not my usual scents (I’d probably lean more towards the Romance, which features cedar wood), but it wasn’t so strong that it bothered me. The oils are enriched with 5 different vitamins and you can use them as a massage oil OR a bath oil to get your skin oh-so-soft and touchable. It glides on easily without being sticky, and doesn’t stain bedsheets or whatever you’re getting rubbed down on (very important, obviously).
