More Ideas For A Romantic Night

"We have tried every type of bath salt, bath bomb and bubble bath that we could find, looking for the perfect experience. On a hunch we tried a full can of coconut milk added to the bath water. It can be found in grocery stores in the Asian food section. It makes you as smooth all over as you would be with massage oil. It feels the best. It is our favorite. Also, you can cut pieces of mango and use it as a massager/scrubber in the tub with the coconut."

"Greet your partner in only a Japanese style robe. When they see you hand them a robe to change into as well. After they have changed offer them some sake, herbal tea or Japanese or Chinese beer. Hand feed your partner their meal, then give them a wonderful massage."
