Take the time to prepare yourself for romance and turn your thoughts to love and sensuality.
Gather together
* petals of 1 red rose
* a large glass or ceramic bowl and a wooden spoon
* ½ cup (90g) of Epsom salts
* ½ cup (70g) of baking soda
* ½ cup (120ml) carrier (or base) oil, ideally jojoba or apricot
* 6 drops each of jasmine, ylang ylang, and neroli essential oil (or 12 drops of one, if you prefer just one scent)
A soothing bath is the perfect prelude to your date. Make the water warm enough to be relaxing, but not so hot that it makes you sleepy. Mix all the ingredients, except for the rose petals, together in the bowl with the wooden spoon and then add the mixture under the running faucet. The Epsom salts will relax tense muscles and the baking soda combined with the carrier oil will soften your skin. These aphrodisiac essential oils are very potent. Lastly, float the rose petals in the water, and bathe by natural light before nightfall. As the mix of warm water, oils, and bath salts smooths your skin, let it also soothe your soul.
