Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Share a blissful holiday evening with the one you love by the glow of the firelight
while hand-feeding your partner these delectable treats.

Ingredients
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 pint fresh strawberries with leaves

Preparations:
In a microwave safe bowl, or in the top of a double boiler over simmering water,
cook chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Holding
berries by the stem, dip each in chocolate about three-quarters of the way to the
stem. Place, stem side down, on wire rack and chill in refrigerator until hardened.

Give The Gift of Massage
Beauty and love can be shown in many ways, but none quite
as personal and loving as a massage. There are many
benefits to massage. In some instances, a massage can lead
to better communication and understanding with your
partner. Other times, it's just the knowledge that someone is
devoting their time to making you feel incredible that makes
it extra special. Massage has been said to be a dance of love
with your fingertips. Correctly administered, it can be one of the most intensely
sensual moments you can share with your partner. This is not too surprising
considering the skin is the largest sensory organ in your body! For your next gift, do
something unique. Why not give a gift of massage?
Massage Ingredients
You'll need some type of oil or lotion to keep your hands running smoothly across
their skin. Massage oils and lotions allow for more freedom in your movement and
your ability to give a deeper massage without hurting your partner. Fragrant oils are
fine, but keep in mind your partner's sensitivity to smells or skin irritations. Also,
check to see if they are allergic to any kind of oil or lotion. If you'd rather not use the
oils or lotions, try cornstarch. It truly works wonderfully. :)
Next, you'll need to decide on a location. Obviously not everyone will have access to
a massage table, so you will need to create the next best
thing!
A sturdy tabletop padded with foam or blankets works great.
Otherwise, try a padded floor, or for the more adventurous, a
large towel on the beach or secluded park. If you plan on doing
the massage outside, take precautions against insects,
excessive heat or coldness, and above all else...privacy!
Wherever the massage is to take place, make sure there are
no distractions! This means unplug the phone and arrange for
no one else to be in the house, including children. Also, you'll
need to ensure you have easy and comfortable access to both the right and left sides
of your partner's body, and that the temperature is comfortable. If need be, cover
the areas of the body you're not working on
