A Complete Chocolate Experience

February 8, 2010

Often when you are trying to set the mood, any mood, you want to entice all five of the senses. When getting ready for Valentine’s Day and preparing to set the mood for your holiday plans, chocolate is probably the first thing that comes to mind. Chocolate seems to be the go-to gift for Valentine’s Day, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, we are going to take it one step further…this is an entire sensual feast of chocolate to make your Valentine’s Day celebration all the sugar and spice you could ever want.

The Sense of Smell

Nothing beats the smell of chocolate, and for some, the scent of chocolate is all you need to jump-start your energy level and make you happy. Here are a few products you might find helpful when trying to hone in on the aroma of chocolate. (click on the image to get product details)

The Sense of Hearing

Sound and hearing may not be the first thing that you think of when you think of chocolate, but play a few of these tunes and you are guaranteed to feel at least a little like flowing, melted chocolate.

The Sense of Sight

This movie is sure to delight your senses and fits perfectly into our chocolate themed experience we are trying to create here.

The Sense of Touch

It is easy to create a chocolate feel in your boudoir. Think of the feel of chocolate..soft, silky, smooth…these are some of the textures you want to incorporate into your chocolate experience.

These sheets would be a good place to start for creating a soft and sensual environment in your bedroom.

You may also want to cover yourself, and your sweetie, in something soft and silky. Something like these pj’s may be just the thing you need to enhance the sense of touch in this whole experience.

The Sense of Taste

This may be the most obvious area of this whole experience. But I challenge you to think of a new way to incorporate the sense of taste into this adventure. Try to think beyond the heart-shaped box of chocolate truffles or bag of chocolate kisses.

Perhaps a little chocolate body paint is just the right amount of spice you need to have some fun with your loved one.

Feeling a little domestic? You can make your own chocolate body paint! Maybe this is something you could do with your significant other before enjoying the fun that would definitely follow.

I hope that this has given you some ideas and inspirations for how to create a holistic event centered around chocolate for your sweetheart on this Valentine’s Day, or any day for that matter! Go ahead, buy your favorite type of chocolate, and savor it while you come up with ways to create your own complete chocolate experience. If you try this, or have any other ideas or inspirations for a chocolate affair, leave a comment, share with the rest of us!

I promised that we would be back this week with our favorite picks for romantic movies. I like to think that our list is very well rounded. For the most part, our list is pretty conventional, and features pretty typical movies of romantic quality. I am sure that some of you ladies, and men, have seen most of these movies, and if you haven’t, grab your favorite movie buddy and settle in for a romantic evening.

Guy-Friendly Romantic Movies

January 11, 2010

Today we are going to highlight one of the easiest ways to get into a romantic mood. Movies. I know that, personally, a good movie can usually take me away from anything that is going on in my own life and transform my mood. I would like to think that most people are the same way, otherwise, I don’t know how the movie industry would survive! I also know that I am probably not alone among women out there in that I love a feel good movie that leaves me feeling in love and all warm and fuzzy…”the chick flick” as it is affectionately referred to.

Now girls, we all have our favorite so-called “chick flicks” that we would love our men to sit and swoon over with us. But sometimes your guy may need a break from the overly romantic, dramatic, love-filled films that make you melt into a weepy puddle on your couch. So I came across this list of guy-friendly movies that are romantic in their own right, but tread a little more lightly on the tear-jerker, sentimental ideal of romance.

You can check out this list of 16 Romantic Movies that a Guy Won’t Hate.

To enjoy a quiet night in with your man, grab one of these movies, make a big bowl of popcorn to share, grab a blanket to cozy up under together, turn down the lights and enjoy the movie. After the movie, stay snuggled up and talk about the memories the two of you have together. If you just watched one of the comedies on this list, talk about some of the funniest things that have happened to the two of you. The most important thing is that you are spending time together focusing on happy and romantic feelings, and sharing them together.

Next Monday, we will feature our list of favorite romantic movies. I can’t wait to get started on that!
