A.  Set the mood.

There is no better way to get excited about any event then to get an invitation.  It also gets you excited to put some time aside for your loved one.  It is a way to make it very special.  You can be funny, corny, romantic or formal, just a way to make sure to reserve some time together.  Here are a couple of examples…

B.  Food  

I suggest a very light and easy appetizer.  Something such as fresh fruit, grape or strawberries maybe some cheese cubes.  Something very easy that you can eat with a toothpick.

Here is a quick recipe.

Recipe Type: fruit, appetizer, honeydew melon, mint, grapes

Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 10 min

Ingredients:

  • Honeydew melon
  • fresh mint leaves
  • Green grapes
  • toothpicks

Instruction:

Cut melon into ½-inch pieces, thread on toothpicks with mint leaves and grapes, serve on a platter.

C. Drinks

This is where you can have a lot of fun. Alcoholic or virgin all will be good.  Keep it light and refreshing.  You can always use your favorite drink but here is a couple of ideas.

Mojito

Ingredients

  • 8 mint leaves, plus 1 mint sprig for garnish
  • Ice
  • 2 ounces white rum
  • ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce Simple Syrup
  • ½ ounce chilled club soda

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves. Add ice and the rum, lime juice and Simple Syrup and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled collins glass, stir in the club soda and garnish with the mint sprig.

Rum Punch

Ingredients

  • 80 mint leaves, torn or thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces light rum
  • 8 ounces aged rum
  • 8 ounces fresh orange juice
  • 8 ounces mango nectar or juice
  • 4 ounces pineapple juice
  • Ice
  • 8 pineapple wedges

Instructions

In a pitcher, combine all of the ingredients except the ice and pineapple wedges and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Stir well and serve over ice in red wine glasses. Garnish each drink with a pineapple wedge.

D. Music

Music sets the tone for any romantic evening.  Imagine the warm water swirling around you a refreshing drink in your hand and your favorite love song playing in the background.  With everything just perfect your night will end on the right note guaranteed.   

Here is a list of great songs to download for the evening.

E. Smells


Essential oils can enhance our mood or emotional outlook as well as our physical well being. The aroma of the essential oil can stimulate the human brain to trigger a reaction supplying therapeutic benefits.Chamomile: relaxing, meditation. Use for insomnia, arthritis, and stress.Eucalyptus: stimulating. Use for arthritis, bronchitis, and sinusitis.Grapefruit: energizing, uplifting.Lavender: balancing, relaxing. Use for anxiety, stress, insomnia, and burns.Lemon: balancing, relaxing.Orange: balancing, relaxing. Use for stress.Rosemary: balancing, relaxing. Use for aching muscles.Rose: balancing, relaxing. Use for depression, mature skin, and eczema.Caution: Essential oils are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Essential oils should not be used undiluted directly on the skin, or used on broken skin. Avoid getting in eyes. A good rule of thumb is to add 10 drops to the water. Use only essential oils without carrier oil added, so as not to clog filter. Avoid citrus oils if you are exposed to the sunlight during your soak.

F.  Final Preparation

Hot Tub Temperature: If you are going to soak together in the tub for a half hour or more, consider keeping the temperature about 100 degrees, depending on outside air temp. Any hotter than this may cause overheating and cut the date night short!

Candles: Candles or low lighting can help set the mood.

Towels: Have them handy nearby.

Talking and Listening: Some of us unwind by talking. If that is the case with your partner, give them the gift of your undivided listening. Some of us unwind with quiet, just holding each other and listening to the tranquil silence of the star filled sky.

By providing resources and tips on the small things you can do each day to improve self-care, such as meditation . Why is meditation good for us? Meditation can help manage stress and reduce blood pressure, improve your focus, help with sleep, and help you learn to live more in the moment.   According to prominent wellness expert and blogger Dr. Andrew Weil , “meditation for healing is about establishing a different relationship with your thoughts, just for a little while. Instead of attention being drawn off by whatever thought happens to present itself, in meditation, you watch your thoughts from a different, more stabilized perspective.” Is there an app to help you meditate? Many of us are more connected than ever in terms of technology and social media. For the hyper-connected crowd, there’s actuall...
