Valentines Day is right around the corner. In the midst of a pandemic many of you may not be venturing out for this notorious ‘dining out’ occasion. No matter what you decide to do that day, (even if it’s nothing) your night can still be special and romantic. Couples- we encourage you to take the time to celebrate your love. Life gets hectic and even though you can celebrate it anytime, most people don’t. There’s no need to fall for the hype of lavish gift giving, balloons, and chocolate (unless you want to). It’s the little, simple things that count. Here are 4 ways to spice up your valentines night. The best part -they are all easy, simple and free!

1. Give Each Other Massages

Jeff and I love this one! It’s sensual and can really get you relaxed for the night. Even if you are no expert in giving massages- your partner will enjoy the feeling of you rubbing all over them. Add some candles and scented body oil to really set the mood. If you don’t have massage oil you may want to grab some real quick because it makes that much of a difference. And there will be plenty left over for date night next time!

2. Play Sex Games

Looking for a little activity? Playfulness and bonding are essential for intimacy. Sex games encourage touching, kissing, and beyond in a fun way. With apps like Desire, Kindu, iKamasutra, and Sex Roulette you can have a very exciting evening right from your smartphone! It doesn’t get any more convenient than that folks. No excuses this V-day!

3. Use Red Light Bulbs

Lighting is a surprising way to set the mood. By simply switching out your standard led light bulbs for red ones you can turn your bedroom into the red light district! If you don’t have one on hand you can find some here. You can even combine this with any of the other suggestions!

4. Create A Sexy Playlist

The right music changes everything. It can make you happy when you’re down. It can make you feel motivated when you’re not. And it can definitely put you in the mood. Make a playlist together and choose songs that you both can enjoy.

Be sure to create some sparks in your marriage this Valentines Day with these 4 easy, simple ways or even come up with somethings on your own! We hope you are feeling inspired.
