toes ( or other body parts …..) in a faux fur throw . Nestling together in it . Lounging on beautiful sexy pillows that whisper “ boudoir ”.
But MOST importantly , let ’ s talk lighting . Do not , by any means , use the abomination that is the overhead light . It makes me cringe and make wrinkly faces just thinking of it . I mean , c ’ mon . Light from above ? Puts shadows where they do not need to be . Also , romantic is never a word I would associate them with . So just don ’ t .
Instead , use mood lighting . Put table lamps on your nightstands . Sconces on each side of the bed are great as well . Candles ? If you dare . I ’ m usually worried I ’ m going to catch something of mine on fire , so they end up being less sexy than I intended . But you may be way more coordinated than I am . They are certainly the epitome of sexy .
The point is : set the mood . Lower lights make everyone look sexier . And they ’ re easy to reach over and turn off if you get my drift . Next up ? Let ’ s tackle sounds . I am a sucker for a good mix tape . And Spotify ? Has become my best friend in this area . There ’ s a playlist for everything . I kid you not , there ’ s one called “ Sexy As Folk ”. And it ’ s actually pretty great once you get past giggling at the title .
But you choose . Have a favorite nostalgic album for you and your partner ? Pull that baby up . And this ? THIS is an appropriate way to use those damn phones that are permanently attached to the ends of our arms . But only to get the music going ! After that , into the nightstand drawer they go and no texting / Instagramming / Facebooking for the night . Not . Sexy .
Last but not least , and this is a big one : lock the door . I ’ m not saying do it every night . I ’ m not insinuating that you should deny your child ( ren ) of their parents . What I AM saying is that every once in a while , they can pour their own cheerios in the morning . You deserve it . Your partner deserves it . Make it so .
And with that , I ’ ll leave you to scurry away to make your purchases . This is , after all , the month of luuuuuv . So sex it up ! And en-joy .
Now , after all that loving , if there ends up being a nursery in your future , you ’ ll want to check out my four part series covering insider tips and tricks you need to know about creating a unique , personal , earth-friendly and stylish little nest for your tiny one . Get started here !
