Valentine – Valentine’s Day is coming! So, are you planning a romantic candlelight dinner for love of your life?

Plan one right now for Valentine’s day! It is an expression of love, gratitude and connectivity to your partner.

Let your loved one know that he or she is important to you. Write your own invitation with a date and time of your romantic night. Be creative and place the invitation on your sweethearts pillow with a beautiful red rose.

Bring romance into your life and feel the passion; buy yourself a sexy dress and buy flowers, candles and essential oils ahead of time.

VALENTINE: ROMANTIC TABLE

Setting the mood on your table is as important as the food on the plate and the dress you wear. Set the table in front of the fireplace with a pretty tablecloth. Light the candles on your table preferably from beeswax. They are natural, clean burning, healthy and smell delicious. Pure beeswax candles smell pleasant and the smell will not interfere with the smell of your wonderful delicious nutritious meal.

I like white tablecloth; it goes very beautifully with gold and red. You can use gold chargers and white plates and sprinkle some red rose petals on the table.

Play the soft music to set the right mood. Use pure organic essential oils such as vanilla, lavender or mandarin to fragrance the room.

This is a celebration of love; it is angelic.

VALENTINE: LOVE FOOD

Express the love that is in your heart by choosing the most exquisite romantic food that will nourish your senses, body and soul and bring attraction to each other. Food affects us how we feel and good nutrition is the foundation of our sexual vitality.

Excessive sugar, saturated fat, processed foods affects our sexual desire, our mood and energy level.

Foods that are fresh and live such as leafy green vegetables, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, nuts and deliciously rich chocolate made from pure cacao will boost your energy and stamina.

According to ancient wisdom tradition there are foods to be edible aphrodisiacs.

Invite your partner to prepare dishes with you. Imagine kissing and hugging your partner while they chop veggies or preparing other dishes and desserts. Pour some wine or even champagne in glasses. Make something that is alcohol free such as refreshing Creamy Coco Piña Smoothie made of fresh coconut meat, coconut water, agave nectar and fresh pineapple chunks. It can be sensual experience.

But last and not least indulge yourself with a scented bath or a massage using bath oils later or after a meal.

Love requires care and nurturing and to plan a romantic meal at home more often is a beautiful way to symbolize love.
