If your love life has been gathering cobwebs, then it’s time to give it a spring clean. Whether you are a love-hungry single or your relationship with your significant other has gone stale, making a clean sweep will pave the way to put renewed zest into your amours. As they say, romance starts at home. Cupid is not going to strike while you are sitting around eating tubs of Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough in your tracksuit. In order to inject some romance into your life, you need to take stock of your fridge, your wardrobe and your attitude. Here are some suggestions for putting a broom through your romantic closet and starting afresh.
Put the Flirt Factor Into Your Fridge
We all know that the quickest way to someone’s heart is through their palate so turn your fridge into a seduction arsenal. There is no greater turn-off than opening someone’s fridge and it’s growing penicillin, or is full of half-eaten takeout containers that are so ancient they look like refrigerated fossils. Further than that, an obviously unloved icebox is not good for your state of mind, let alone your romantic life. Prepare for company and stock your fridge with seductive snacks. If you are domestically challenged, get a foodie friend to show you how to put together simple delicious bites that are easy to assemble and help you select some wine. A signature cocktail is also a great ice-breaker and there is nothing more sensuous. Ask your cute local bar man to help you create a recipe for love in a glass. Serve this to your new or current squeeze, and he will want to put a little straw in you and drink you up.
Go From Frumpy To Fabulous
A woman’s wardrobe is one of her most potent weapons when it comes to the battle of the sexes. Men are helpless against our feminine charms so you should flaunt them. If you want to be a femme fatale, you have to get out of the sweat pants and crinoline slacks. Celebrate your curves with figure-hugging clothes, gravity-defying undergarments and heels. Set aside an entire day and go through your wardrobe. Bribe a stylish friend with a bottle of wine to help you sift through every ensemble you own and get rid of anything you don’t feel datable in. Mr Right can turn up anywhere, at the gym or even in the supermarket aisle, so make sure everything you wear has at least some allure. Be ready for fate by wearing your flirty best everywhere. If you are in a relationship, then sexing up your wardrobe will also add a surefire spark. It’s all about making an effort. As Helena Rubenstein once said: “There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.” Try everything in your wardrobe on in front of a full-length mirror and be as honest as you can in your self-appraisal. If it doesn’t make the grade, get rid of it. Separate your dating outfits and make sure you have the right accessories for them, from necklaces to earrings to pantyhose and heels. Rate each ensemble in terms of how high they rate on the flirtometer so you will know what to wear depending on how much you want to turn up the heat. And make sure you buy some nice panties and uplifting bras. The male is totally undone by a sexy décolletage. Use Jessica Rabbit as your fashion inspiration. Curves rule!
Adjust Your Attitude
No one is going to think you are fabulous unless you do. Oscar Wilde once said: “Loving yourself is the start of a lifelong romance” and this is the key for anyone who wants to attract love. You have to adore yourself before you can be adored. Let go of all the things that are stopping you from showering yourself with affection and opening the door to romance. Think of yourself as you would think about someone you love but haven’t been treating so well. Consider the ways you can feel better about yourself and show yourself the many ways you care. Firstly pen an open love letter to yourself and don’t stint in heaping praise on yourself and listing all of your wonderful qualities. Read this missive to yourself every morning when you wake up. Also spend some time thinking how you can make your life more delicious and pleasurable. It’s all about celebrating your sensuality. Be the love of your own life and this will shine outward.
If you take these steps, you are guaranteed of putting the rosy hue back into your step and attracting more romance into your life.
