Massage oil

More than just to ease away aches and pains or stress, massage can also be stimulating and erotic – the perfect way to relax with your new husband.  There are many oils that make wonderful massage oils – baby oil is better than nothing, sweet almond oil is fantastic and is also the base that most professionals use.

KY has a range of massage oils for the body, as well as a 2-in-1 Touch Massage Sensation set with warming and tingling massage and personal lubricant combined. RRP: $19.99 from pharmacies and supermarkets. If you want to make your own love potion, use a base of sweet almond oil and add a few drops of essential oils. Try the following:

Romance Massage Oil Blend
5 drops sandalwood, 15 drops ylang ylang, 3 drops black pepper, 2 drops ginger, 15ml sweet almond oil.  Mix all essential oils then add to the carrier oil. Shake well and warm gently before massaging.

Lingerie

Women well know the seductive power of lingerie – it’s not just the way our partner gets inspired when he sees us out of our drab nana knickers, it’s also how you feel knowing you are wearing something fabulous. So if there is anytime to invest in a new lingerie wardrobe it is before your honeymoon. There are many ranges to suit different body types – Caprice Intimates is a gorgeous range for fuller-figured ladies with delicate lace details and great colours. The Underwear Club’s Essentially Fashion range is gorgeous for more petite figures. Bendon also has a fantastic range of lingerie for all figures, as well as a fabulous selection of nightwear. Valisere’s lingerie range is one of unparalleled glamour. So get sized up and go shopping!

Candles

There’s nothing quite like candle-light to impart a seductive glow around the room, not to mention give your skin a flattering luminous glow. In the bedroom, bathroom, lounge – wherever you are on your travels candles give a homely feel and set the mood for romance. Pop on some mood music, light a few candles when darkness falls and voila – instant romance!

Lover’s pack

Pack a few seductive treats to surprise your partner with on your honeymoon. Kama Sutra do a fabulous range of delicious smelling and tasting treats that he won’t be able to resist. The Weekender Kit is a particular favourite containing travel sizes of: The Original Oil of Love, Spearmint Stimulating Pleasure Balm, Sweet Honeysuckle Honey Dust, Sweet Almond Massage Oil and Love Liquid Sensual Lubricant.

Music

Music has a way of taking us back in time, lifting our spirits or getting us in the mood. Many couples have particular music that takes them back to moments they shared together, or special occasions. Why not make a compilation of your favourite ‘moments in music’ to put on the CD player when you are on your honeymoon? Alternatively, old favourites always lend a romantic tune when needed – Sade, Al Green, or anything from the Hotel Costes series are ideal for creating an atmosphere made for loving.

So get packing and enjoy the romance…
