How to Give a Romantic Massage on Valentine’s Day

by

You don’t have to be rolling in cash just to give someone a great Valentine’s Day gift. Sometimes the gifts that come from the heart are the most meaningful. With Lover’s Day coming up just around the corner in Mid-February, I am sure that there are many of you out there that may be undecided about what you should get for that special someone in your life. One thing to consider here – even if you already have a great gift purchased, or plan on purchasing one – is that a romantic massage will always win over hearts.

But only if you have a few good pointers in mind before you start getting busy with your hands. So to better help you out along the way, here are some easy tips on how you can pull off a very romantic Valentine’s Day massage. A massage can be an amazing heartfelt gift that will certainly demonstrate to your significant other that they truly do the mean the world to you.

Make sure that you have the necessary items before you decide to offer a romantic massage. A few things that you will want to have handy: Some scented candles and soft music to set the mood, scented or non-scented massage oils for lubrication, and some sheets that you can lay out on the bed so that you don’t stain your mattress or comforter with excess oil runoff. Also, burning some incense can aid in relaxation too.

You may want to watch a few how-to videos on giving massages so that you know how to use your hands in the proper way, even if you are not a trained massage therapist. I have taken the liberty of looking around to find one for you. Swedish massage happens to be a very popular form of relaxing massage.

Moody’s Beauty & Fashion January Horoscope

by

It really has been long overdue if you ask me. And finally it has arrived here, and it’s just for you! I am talking about the very first Moody’s Fashion & Beauty Horoscope. It’s filled with some fun – just for entertainment purposes only – and interesting tidbits that you can take with you each month as you strive to be more beautiful. So in par with arrival of the first year of the second decade of the new millennium, is the very first edition of this horoscope for you. Expect a new one each month, around the middle of the month.

Also, there has been some recent speculation and much media debate over whether or not your zodiac sign has changed with the passing of the millennium. However, this myth was recently debunked on CNN – see the article by Clicking Here. And it’s actually still considered to be the same sign that it always was because they are based upon a fixed tropical equinox, and not based upon eastern constellations.

In fact, Jeff Jawer, a leading astrologer for the popular astrology website, Tarot.com, confirms this in his interview in the article. “When we look at the astrology used in the Western world, the seasonally based astrology has not changed, was never oriented to the constellations, and stands as…has been stated for two millenniums,” explains Jawer.

So now that this is all cleared up….

Let’s see what’s in the stars for January for all of you!

Moody’s January Horoscope

Aries: The holidays zipped on by, but you made it through. Now the New Year has you very busy. Stay on top of your skin by adding a solid moisturizer to combat the cold January weather.
