Putting the Spark Back in Your Holidays

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 29, 2009 – The holidays invite romance - the nights are long, and there's enough nip in the air to warrant a cuddle or two. But seasonal activities - partying, traveling, baking, caroling, and shopping - can cut into couples' quality time. Here are some tips for anyone looking to create some room by the fireplace for two:

- Give your partner a massage. Holiday stress can tie a person's muscles into knots, so take sometime to soothe away your partner's worldly cares. Choose an aromatic massage oil - lavender promotes relaxation, peppermint rejuvenates - to enhance the experience. For a holiday twist, massage your partner with frankincense oil, which fights the winter blues and stimulates the mind.

- Melt away the chill with a warm drink. Leave hot cocoa to the kids. For a more adult holiday beverage, consider coffee-based libations. One company, Magic Power Coffee (http://magicpowercoffeeclub.com), imbues its product with Epimedium herb, ginseng and Goji berries, so each cup promises to inspire romance. Mix a packet with hot water and drink it straight, or add cocoa powder, cinnamon and whipped cream for a holiday-themed bedtime boost.

- Have a date. Arranging time as a couple shouldn't be an ordeal. On a busy night, eat Christmas cookies and drink eggnog together, taking the time to catch up. On another night, arrange a romantic dinner for two. You can go to a favorite restaurant or stay in with a pasta dinner, a bottle of wine and a holiday-themed DVD. Enjoy a cup of Magic Power Coffee or a decadent dessert, like truffles from your favorite chocolate or tiramisu. You don't have to get too fancy - you just want to set aside some time as a couple.
