Planning a romantic afternoon or evening for your partner can be fun and exciting. The event does not need to be expensive (you actually do not need to spend anything), but it should show how much you care and appreciate your partner. Follow the simple directions below to plan a sincere and meaningful romantic time for the special someone in your life. If you think you do not have a special someone in your life... think again! That special someone in your life is you!

Try something original and full of surprises. Decorate your room with candles and rose petals and arrange for something to eat at home. Play some soft music and pull out the wine glasses. Make sure you put on fresh linens and dim the lights (no dimmer, no problem, add more candles and turn them off). Your partner will be dazzled with all the romantic settings you have done.

To prepare yourself for the "pleasures" to come, you might want to do the following:

Give yourself a home galvanic spa treatment. It works on all parts of the body, and delivers amazing results. You will look fresh, feel fresh, and be fresh! and we certainly hope your partner will get fresh!

Next, you will want a nice bottle of wine, and whatever music will set the mood for things to come.

If you are planning to serve something to eat, and not go directly to the "main course" which is you! Here is a simple serving suggestion: If you want to please your better half, we suggest a K.I.S.S. which means "keep it simple sexy", the last "S" actually stands for something else, but see how creativity can make any situation work!

It does not need to be a big meal, the goal is to "not be hungry" and share one of life's little pleasures.... food.

A Salad for two is easy to make, and there are all kinds of options. You can finish things off with an assortment of Chocolates (since you saved a lot of calories serving Salad). You can also have Chocolate covered Strawberries (if in Season), or whatever you know your partner likes.

After a light bite, you might want to slip into something a bit more provocative (not necessarily your birthday suit). Keep in mind that Men are "visual" and Women are in the moment, so if you are a guy think before you speak, and be sincere!

If things go as planned you will have several glorious minutes, whoops, we mean "hours" of "pleasure".

The most important element of any romantic activity is time. Take the time to enjoy one another and prolong the special moments. It’s not everyday that you can devote an afternoon or evening to nothing other than adoring one another. And who knows when you will get another chance to forget the day to day and just love? Slow down and remember why you fell in love in the first place.

If you do not have a significant other. You can still have a wonderful evening of wine, salad, music, and chocolates. Take a bubble bath, read a good book, and watch your favorite movie. The afternoon or night is special because of you!
