Here are a couple great tips for a wonderfully romantic night in.  Either create a personalized card with an outline for the event or just surprise them the day of. Offer a little Soulful Pampering. Offer your special someone to get comfortable in a rob and slippers; buying a new fresh and cozy one might be a wonderful idea if they don't already have the accessories. Have a nice area warmed up and decorated space that is quiet and peaceful. Light some candles, burn some pure essential oils and play some light, easy listening music. Always an option is to turn the satellite radio on "Spa" Step 1. Fill a bowl large enough to fit both feet into; about ankle deep with warm water. Include some Epson salts or salts and cleanser from one of our beautiful Beauty Through Balance travel kits  Step 2. Serve your guest some fresh cut fruit and chocolate while their feet tenderly soak. Make sure they ease their feet into the water to ensure it's not TOO hot for them Step 3. Use an exfoliating salt to scrub from the foot to the knee. Ensuring you go at it nice and slow, making sure to catch every inch of skin; including between the toes; careful tho if they have ticklish feet you don't get kicked in the head! A firmer grip will help those who are jumpy.  Step 4. Remove feet from water and towel dry; remembering to get in between each toe with a fresh clean towel.Step 5. Kiss feet if you feel so inclined  Step 6. Use the lotion from one of our Beauty Through Balance Travel Kits. (Warm product in the palm of your hand before beginning.) Gently massage the feet from the toes up to the knees. always remembering to stroke up towards the heart. Work the feet from the heals to the toes; then massaging each toe from the nail upwards in slow, smooth rotations. Grip the foot between both hands and massage the bottom of the foot with your thumbs; putting effort in from leaning into the massage stroke rather than just tiring out your thumbs! If you feel small hard spots under the foot that kind of "pop \ crunch" as you go over them... ensure you keep at it; nice and gently. Breaking these deposits is a good thing and feels great! Circle around the ankles, rotate the foot and gently flex in each plane of motion. Carry the massage up the leg ensuring a good calf massage.  Step 7. Now that the foot massage is done have your partner return to a massage table or nicely laid out area with fresh clean sheets. Give them a towel for their neck and pillow under the ankles to better support the lower back. Either use a massage oil you have on had; or pick up some grape seed oil from the grocery store. Warm the oil in your hand before application or warm in the microwave and add a couple drops of essential oil if you've got it. Keep your partner warm by having a sheet\ blanket laid over top of them uncovering only the area your working on, then re-drapping as you move to the next. Have your partner take a couple deep cleansing breaths, and you match their breathing to get yourself in sync with their energy. Start from the feet and make your way up the body. Slow, deep strokes, keeping the palm of your hand against the skin. Avoid any pressure against bones; especially the spine; however running the fingers up along either side of the spine from the tailbone up, is a wonderful technique. Once the back is done, have your partner turn around and start again from the feet up. If you want a good tantric idea; ensure you gently massage the stomach in clockwise circles. To finish, offer a delightful scalp massage and circle around the temples, which are located just to the sides of the eyes, using small clockwise circles with your index finger.  Step 8. Your on your own from here!Happy Valentine's Day *** If you'd rather give the gift of a spa that will comes to the house; Soulful Indulgence Gift Certificates are available. sorry, toe kissing not available ;-) Namaste PS **to all the guys; if your feeling artistic, try painting her toes; she'll love it and the effort will be greatly admired and bring a lovely giggle and smile that will make your heart glow.
