25 Sensual Ways To Pamper Your Body

Cosmo Magazine's article from the July issue.

1. Stash a bowl of citrus-scented potpourri by your bed. Bitter orange blossoms contain the essential oil neroli, one of the oldest aphrodisiacs around.

2. Put on a sleeping mask after slipping into a warm, steamy bath. Eliminating one sense helps to heighten another.

3. Stick a bowl of grapes in your freezer. When you come home at the end of a humid day, let each one slowly melt in your mouth.

4. No more waking up to a shrieking beep, beep, beep. Set you iPod to rouse you with a song you associate with a piping hot sexual encounter or a relaxing vacay.

5. Pop in a strip tease how-to video, dim the lights and work your hips like no one is watching.

6. Come early evening, strip down and check yourself out in the mirror.

7. Chill your lotion in the fridge, and rub it onto your skin before bed.

8. On a night when you know you'll by dining solo, instead of settling for something that comes precooked on a tray, treat yourself to a top-notch meal.

9. Some fitness experts say to do push-ups and sit-ups when you first get out of bed. Instead, stay put and work your girl muscles for a few moments.

10. Position your bum in front of a pool's jet for a "massage."

11. After a Brazilian, slip on silky undies. The feel of the fabric against your bare, super sensitive skin? Amazing!

12. Snap erotic shots of yourself, and stop them away for your own enjoyment. When you're 80, you can look back and remember how smoking you were.

13. Create a cozy, relaxing nook in your place where you can go and just zone out. Fluffy pillows, a comfortable chair, and lots of light, soothing colors will help give the space a calm vibe.

14. Give yourself permission to enjoy a razzie-worthy movie solely for the fact that it contains a tummy-tingling sex scene.

15. Dangle your foot above a sprinkler, and let the strings of water tickle your heel.

16. Change up your perfume - and the locations where you spritz it - daily.

17. Work a drop of peppermint oil through your tresses while in the bath or shower.

18. Try a lotion candle - when you light the wick, the "wax" melts into a delicious smelling moisturizer that you can use on your whole body.

19. Splurge on some really good ground coffee beans, and savor a cup in your own kitchen before you walk out the door in the morning.

20. In the summer, not even a cold shower is enough to cool you down after a tough workout.  Prevent sweat 'stache by shimmying into a nice crisp robe that's been chilling in your fridge for an hour or so.

21. Check out bookbyyou.com, which allows you to insert your own name into a steamy romance novel. Then read all about "your" naughty sexcapades.

22. Take a pastry class so you can whip yourself up a chocolate-ganache pie anytime you crave it.

23. For a constant reminder of your sexpotness, arrange your closet so that your raciest pieces -anything red or animal print - are front and center.

24. Give yourself goose bumps by sweeping a new, clean toothbrush over the curves of your neck and collarbone.

25. Add a pinch of the spice saffron to a burger or bowl of soup. New research proves that it can turn you on.

Just thought you might need a tip if you are feeling stressed and need some R&R. I have personally tried some of these and I have found that they actually help or at least put me at ease.

Enjoy.
