It's Day 3 in our month-long Countdown to Valentine's Day, and today's romantic idea is a fun one - I'm asking you to practice honeymooning. What does that mean? It's a bit like a grown-up sexy game of pretend.
Crank the heat up and greet your fiance in a bikini with frozen fruity drinks. Tell him or her that it's important to make sure you're up to speed on relaxing, making out, and being warm. Or, if you're destined for a colder locale, get the fire going in the fireplace and next to it with a pile of blankets, some warming massage oil, and mugs of hot cocoa. One can never be too prepared when it comes to honeymooning!
And if you aren't sure yet what kind of romantic trip you'd like, read my honeymoon ideas to get started. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!
