Quick love tip of the week. How to bring the romance back!
If you are looking to create a special ambiance, start the path to seduction or just bring a smile of delight to your sweetheart’s face? One sure-fire way is with deliciously scented, silky rose petals.
You can pick up rose petals from your local florist shop or order prepackaged petals online. The prepackaged ones usually come with some other sensual items, like tea light candles, which can add nicely to the ambiance.
Of course the rose petals should be lusciously scented. Most will be, but if they are not as pungent as you would like, pick up a rose scented mist from your local bath shop or pharmacy. Make sure you purchase at least a few dozen so your rose petal surprise doesn’t look skimpy. Of course, if you’re making a trail down a hallway or up stairs, buy a few dozen more. Most of the time, eight or nine dozen will not cost more than ten or fifteen dollars – a very inexpensive, romantic treat.
Don’t feel that you always have to go with red petals, sometimes a pink, peach or even white can be a wonderful surprise. Take note of what you are putting them on and go with the color that will stand out the most, capturing your love’s immediate attention.
• Fill a pretty basket full with the aromatic petals. You need to know when your sweetheart will be coming in, listening closely for that key in the lock. Be positioned so that when they open the door, you are in position to immediately begin dropping rose petals at their feet as they step inside. You will continue to step back as you shower their every step with petals, as the king or queen that they are (remember Eddie Murphy in Coming to America? As a prince, he couldn’t walk a single step without rose petals leading the way!)
• Run a warm bath for your love, complete with romantic music and candles. Finish this glorious setting by sprinkling beautiful rose petals in the bathtub. They will be gently floating on top when your sweetie steps in to luxuriate.
• Take your rose petals and sprinkle them from your entrance door, down the hallway (or up the stairs) to the foot of your bed. Now there’s a silent invitation that your love will relish when they come home.
• A short while before you know that your sweetheart will climb into bed, take a few handfuls of silky petals, pull back the sheets and toss them lavishly into the bed. Put the covers back, making the bed up to look as usual. What a sweet surprise when your darling pulls the covers back to slide into bed!
• Put a dozen rose petals on the pull shade in your sweetheart’s car. When they pull the shade down to protect themselves from the sun or pull out an item kept there, they will be showered with the soft, silky petals.
• The next time you serve your sweetheart breakfast in bed, make sure you’ve decorated the tray, surrounding all the delectable edibles with some pretty rose petals.
• The next time you go on a picnic, along with the wine, cheese & grapes, take along some beautifully scented petals to spread on your throw. There will be nothing better than laying in your bed of roses as an alluring end to your day in the park.
• The next time you give your sweetheart a massage, add rose petals for a luxurious, aromatic ambiance. Depending on the surface, you can place bunches of petals in shallow bowls or baskets around the massage area, or simply spread them all over the surface.
• When your sweetheart is in the shower, take an opportunity to toss petals all over them. Reach over the shower rod or stall to toss the petals, instead of pulling back the curtain or door.
• Take the current book or magazine that your love is reading, open it up to the bookmark and place the rose petals inside. What a delightful surprise when they sit down to relax with their book and the petals tumble into their lap. Make sure your love will not be opening the book/magazine on public transportation.
You can create many special moments, enticing, enchanting, seductive moments. Using rose petals can bring an element of surprise that will be appreciated by your loved one. Use these suggestions as your “expressions of love” to and create many joyous moments together.

Roses have always been perceived as a sign of elegance and for many people they represent the most beautiful flowers in the world. Fresh rose petals have become used on a wide scale for various events, especially weddings and given the increased demand, a true industry arose. Today, there are many companies providing rose petals online, enticing their clients with varied offers and eye-catching prices.
Why choose fresh rose petals for a wedding? Because roses have something truly unique and they can really beautify that special event. Rose petals can come in a wide variety of colors, including red, white, pink and even orange, dazzling with their scent and natural beauty at the same time. The Internet is indeed the number one source for fresh rose petals, producers trying to defeat the stringent competition with recently harvested rose petals and they are prepared to deliver them when you require.
If you are interested in fresh rose petals, then you should know that one of the most popular choices is represented by those that are lavender-scented. Online, you are also offered plenty of interesting ideas on how to make good use of the rose petals you just purchased and many clients have found these suggestions as pretty useful. As weddings are the most obvious event where rose petals are used, many people enjoy decorating the reception hall using petals that have a sweet lavender fragrance and a smooth touch.
The companies that distribute rose petals have started to provide their merchandise for customers from various parts of the world, providing amazing prices for their rose petals. The product information is clearly presented online, a package of 6000 fresh rose petals including a number of 13 bags. One can also purchase 12000 petals, which would mean of course 26 bags. The shipping process has been carefully thought of and this is probably one of the main reasons why the rose petals are packed in individual bags, each bag containing petals of one single color.
When one celebrates the union between two people, everything must go perfect and it’s no wonder that so many people want to have fresh rose petals in that very special day. They might decide to use them for decorative purposes but also to sprinkle them or even for intimate moments during their honeymoon. Rose petals have so many uses that it’s quite hard to mention which one is the best and every day new uses are probably discovered. In fact, you could probably think of some on your own.
Moving on to more specific details, online you are informed that each bag contains between 8 and 12 rose petals, reaching a total number of 460 petals. This information might not seem important at first but you should know that each detail matters when it comes to having the perfect wedding. They also teach you about storing your rose petals and keeping them fresh until you need them. It’s quite obvious they must be stored in a place with a low temperature and even in the fridge if you want to prolong their freshness. Still, don’t be too hasty and place them in the freezer.
When you enter online and search for rose petals, you will probably be amazed with the dazzling choices of colors.

Anyone can splurge on a formal dinner or a pricey bottle of perfume, but it takes creativity, forethought, and time to be truly romantic.
The key lies in personalizing your celebration. Here are ten ideas to fuel your own creativity:
1. Empty a box of chocolates. Then cut out 50 to 100 hearts from lace doilies, construction paper, or fabric. On each cutout, record something about him that you love. Be specific: “The way you smell when you come to bed at night,” “The way you take care of me when I am sick,” “Your recipe for pancakes,” etcetera.
Fold the cutouts, place them in the chocolate box, and top with a red satin bow.
The time you spend coming up with these ideas will contribute to your own romantic mood, and what he thinks is a plain box of chocolates will be a gift he will keep close to his heart forever. And you can add to the box on Valentines Day, his birthday, your anniversary, and other holidays throughout the year.
2. Build a romantic fire. Before the kids go to bed, have fun roasting marshmallows. After their lights are out, host your own indoor picnic, complete with a bottle of wine and
chocolate covered strawberries.
3. Recreate your first date together. What were you wearing? Where did you go? Do you remember what you talked about? Spend the evening reminiscing and reflecting on how far you have come as a couple.
4. Spoon all night.
5. Choose a book in which you are both interested, fiction or nonfiction. Read a new chapter each night before bed. This cozy tradition will allow you to spend some quality time together and often makes for thought provoking breakfast conversations.
6. Make a tape of the songs special to your relationship. Include “your song,” songs from your wedding, songs from favorite movies. Add a personal voice dedication and leave it in his briefcase, Walkman, or car stereo.
7. Turn off the TV.
8. Kidnap your husband. Arrange for a babysitter for a few hours (or a few days.) A friend of mine had a lot of success with this one. She knew her husband had always wanted to get married in Vegas, but he had agreed to a large, formal ceremony hosted by her family. So, after they had been married 10 years, she surprised him at work with a packed suitcase. They caught an evening flight and renewed their vows before an Elvis impersonator in a Vegas chapel. Years later, they are still talking about it.
9. This one requires a babysitter, too. The next time you are visiting your parents or inlaws, leave the kids with their grandparents and travel to another town, where no one will recognize you. Check into a hotel or B&B. Dress like another woman. Act like another woman. It is fun to slip into another persona from time to time.
10. Have a scavenger hunt. Write a few poems, wrap candy kisses inside, and hide them around the house. Each poem should be a clue to finding the next one. Make sure the final clue lands your man someplace you want to end up for the entire evening. A romance package, including a bottle of champagne and new lingerie, is a nice touch.
Create some romantic memories today: not with your pocketbook, but with your imagination.

Despite your best efforts, the day to day demands of life can have a real effect on your relationship with your partner. Work, kids and family commitments can all take time away from the two of you, and it’s important to make sure you reconnect every now and then in order to keep your relationship strong.
It may not be the first place you think of, but Chicago is the ideal destination for a break away from all your normal activities – and there’s plenty to do to reignite all the feelings you had for each other when you first got together.
Whatever you enjoy doing together, you’ll soon find that Chicago is packed with activities, sights and sounds to pack into a day trip, a weekend away or even a whole week away from the hassles of work if you can manage it.
Taking a tour is a fantastic way to see all that the windy city has to offer. If you both like the idea of combining your trip with a burst of much needed exercise, you could try seeing the city from the saddle of a bicycle. Tours like this usually last a couple of hours, and you can enjoy the lakefront, the architecture, the open spaces and the wining and dining atmosphere that all combine to make this city a top choice for some time away together.
Although doing something different like this can be a great way to enjoy your time out, don’t forget the more traditional ways to enjoy a romantic time together. Make sure you book a top hotel in Chicago to relax in after a busy day exploring the city. Chicago also has a wealth of top restaurants that you can enjoy a candlelit dinner in; for example, eating out in the world famous Sears Tower can be combined with taking the elevator right to the top to see the city from a whole new angle.
If you really want to push the boat out, why not try the ultimate in romantic meals – enjoyed on board a boat or even a cruise liner? This kind of extravagance isn’t for those on a tight budget, but if you can afford to splash out you’ll get to enjoy a luxurious meal while taking in the sights from the water.
Whatever your interests are, you and your partner will find plenty to do while on a break in Chicago. You can even recreate your first ever date together – think back to what you did and where you went, and plan an itinerary that will surprise your partner when you get there. If you try this, make sure you book any popular tours or locations before you go, as they could be sold out if you leave it until the day of your departure.
So, what better way is there to remember what brought you together in the first place than a romantic break away from the day-to-day routine?

Everyone dreams of having a chance to find love, and in a thriving country such as South Africa, the online dating scene has helped thousands of couple connect in a safe and secure way – no more packed and smoky bars, awkward blind dates or misguided set ups. For busy professionals who find it hard to make time to get out and meet people, this method of finding romance is particularly helpful. Smart, ambitious and successful singles are starting to flock to dating websites in the hope of meeting eligible partners who share their aspirations, goals and values. How easy is then to find romance, and what can you do to find that special someone?
The first and most foremost thing that any dating coach will advise is that the right attitude is essential before you even start putting yourself out there to begin meeting people. Meeting singles is easy, meeting the person you could fall in love with is somewhat more of a challenge. Knowing what you want in a partner and having a clear idea of the type of qualities that are important to you is crucial to meeting someone who can connect with you on many levels. You may not think that your views on children or pets is important now, but if you do happen to meet someone that you think could be right for you, it may be important as things progress.
Once you have a clear idea of the type of partner that you are seeking, then you need to consider a top of the range dating agency to help you find that ideal mate. Don’t take a chance on sub-standard web services that only offer the most basic of options; instead ensure that your agency has a personalised and thorough selection, screening and matching process to ensure that you only find potential matches that are close to you in terms of interest, goals, values and personality. The agency will allow you to create a profile that will be displayed for possible suitors to browse. Choose a recent and flattering picture – unposed and natural photographs have the most success, and show you in your best light, while stiff and posed pictures may create the wrong impression. Word your profile carefully, and keep it simple. Avoid giving any personal information, and simply describe yourself and the type of partner you are seeking. With a high quality corporate dating service, you can be sure that all people who contact you have been screened, ensuring a secure and fuss-free connection. Once you have been contacted or asked out on a date, it is then up to you.
Research has shown that the best ideas for first dates are short and simple, and take place somewhere public. Coffee is an ideal option for first dates, and with so many fantastic venues across Gauteng, you can take your pick from high tea at the Westcliffe or romantic coffee amidst the roses at the rose farm in Pretoria. Plan to stay for an hour or so, and if you are having fun you could always make a plan for a second date. Always ensure that you have transport and money to pay for your coffee, and never go anywhere with your date until you feel that you know him or her.
For those experience the thrill of dating in Gauteng, consult a reputable agency and let love find you.
