It Takes Two to Tango
There is no such thing as a boring relationship — that is, as long as you are both willing to share new experiences each and every day.
Here are our top 7 passion push-ups. Our suggestion (and we hope you take it to heart): Try one of these each day for the next three weeks. By the time February 14th rolls around you’ll be primed for your most passionate Valentine’s Day yet…
1. Learn to tango. Considered the most sensual of all the ballroom dances, together you’ll learn dips and turns that keep you within a whisper of each other. Nothing is headier than a surge of endorphins and the sweet smell of your combined sweat. Olé!
2. Shampoo each other’s hair. No reason to wash that man right out of your hair. Instead, let him massage your scalp with your favorite scented rinse. Of course, you’ll return the favor…
3. Leave love notes in each other’s pockets. Even one simple sentence that describes your feeling — that very moment — for your adored one will set the mood for the next time you see each other.
4. Talk dirty to each other. Leave a message on voice mail. In your softest most meaningful tone, express one thought that will make your loved one blush…
5. Do your next lovefest blindfolded. Without sight, your other senses — smell, taste, touch, sound — are more alert. Your loved one can make you ache in anticipation for the unexpected.
6. Discuss an intimate fantasy. All the delicious details, please! Seriously, you both are dying to know that side of each other. No more secrets…
7. Kiss as if it were the last one you’ll ever share. Love is fleeting. To appreciate it all the more, imagine each time your lips touch as if it could never happen again — and it will be like your very first kiss: tentative, deep, perfect.

MVL's Valentine's Day Countdown Continues...
MVL Valentine’s Day Countdown Tip #7:
Blooming Love
Yes, flowers are always appreciated on any day, but especially this one. And certainly red roses are traditional. But if your loved one doesn’t see herself as one of a crowd, acknowledge this with flowers that are both unique and memorable. In other words, skip the traditional dozen red roses. Instead, go for something totally different: say, purple calla lillies. If you feel that’s too much of a leap, do roses with a difference. Go for buds (yellow, or pink) instead of blooms, or a rainbow of colors, and two dozen as opposed to just one.
BIG MUST-DO: Order flowers in advance! Special orders take longer, and you don’t want your to get lost in the red rose rote shuffle.
