Love in the Air

This blog is actually for the guys, but ladies read on, you may learn a few new tricks too. Today I’m going to share my secrets and natural solutions to spice things up and get you “in the mood”. Is there an up and coming  special anniversary,  a holiday like Sweetest Day (primarily celebrated in the Midwest USA the 3rd Saturday in the month of October) or simply your special  “Date Night”  marked on your calendar this weekend?. Whatever the case, before the next “love” holiday rolls around, make the next occasion together with your loved one a night you both will remember!

Forget buying me an overpriced greeting cards that get stored away in a box (or tossed in the recycled bin), the dozen red roses that seem always seem wilt before your very eyes…and please…no more of that decadent, designer chocolates that trigger sugar addictions — you know by now we can’t eat just one! Lover boy.. it’s not that we don’t appreciate those old fashioned traditions of courting or showing your affection, because we do.. really! But you do you really want to get a girl in the mood? Let me share some secrets to spice things up for the evening.

Sure, throughout history many foods, drinks, and behaviors have had a reputation for making sex more attainable and/or pleasurable. For example, here are some foods that are reported to have some of those qualities: Oyster, Chili Pepper, Chocolate, Bananas, Honey, Avocados, Cherries, Pomegranate, Watermelon, Pine Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds and Olive Oil. But before you reach for a chocolate, oyster and pumpkins seed green smoothie (yuck!) why not reach for something ohhhhh soooooo yummmmmyyyy?

Reach for essential oils! Here are some of my tried and true aphrodisiacs for foreplay (and more).

 

#1 Best Aphrodisiac Essential Oils: Ylang Ylang

Yang Ylang essential oil is derived from the star-shaped flowers of the tropical Ylang Ylang tree from Madagascar. Similar to Jasmine, Ylang Ylang has been used for centuries in religious and wedding ceremonies and extensively in making perfumes. In aromatherapy,  It is used to lessen tension and stress and to promote a positive outlook.

Ylang Ylang blends well with Bergamot, Geranium, Grapefruit, and Vetiver in a diffuser.

How to Use Ylang Ylang:

• Simply apply to your wrists at least 30 MINUTES before it is time to begin foreplay and enjoy the sensation and desire that you experience
• Put YLANG YLANG into an Epsom Salt bath for relaxation
• Refresh your skin with an aromatherapy steam facial using YLANG YLANG essential oil
• Put on your wrists, on your neck, and in between your cleavage for a soft, sweet, floral fragrance
• Providing nourishing and protective properties, add YLANG YLANG to Fractionated Coconut Oil for a deep hair conditioner
• Safe to take internally, use YLANG YLANG for antioxidant support

 

Mojo… Where Did You Go???

Have you lost your why…your mojo…your passion? Too much of even a good thing can become predictable and boring over time.

Maybe it’s time to check out doTERRA’s proprietary blend: PASSION. This inspiring essential oil blend of spice and herb essential oils will help you rekindle excitement in your life.

It includes Fractionated Coconut Oil, Cardamom Seed, Cinnamon Bark, Ginger Rhizome, Clove Bud, Sandalwood Wood, Jasmine Flower, Vanilla Bean, and Damiana Leaf, and ignites feelings of excitement, passion, and joy while counteracting negative feelings of boredom and disinterest.

Suggested Uses:
– Diffuse in the morning to start the day feeling energized and enthusiastic
– Apply to pulse points and heart throughout the day to feel inspired and passionate
– Diffuse at work to spark creativity, clarity, and wonder

 

”I don’t feel like it tonight, honey. I have a ______.”

You’ve heard it. You’ve probably even said it. Damn those headache tension! But did you know that research has shown that sex can actually reduce head tension? Honest! Feeling a little “stressed” You may want to ask your partner to massage the oils into your tense/stressed out muscles.

Some of my favorite essential oil options to relieve tension or stress:

• Bergamot
• Eucalyptus
• Lavendar
• Myrrh
• Peppermint
• Rosemary
• Sandalwood
• Serenity

Warning: Please make sure to wash your hands WELL after applying EOs before heading between the sheets as they may irritate delicate tissues…if you know what I mean.

By far my go-to for head tension and to calm emotions is a blend called PAST TENSE. It eases feelings of tension, reduce stress and anxious feelings and helps provide grounding and balanced emotions Just roll on the temples and back of neck when you are dealing with a stressful situation or massage into shoulders, neck, and back for a cooling, soothing sensation.

Side note: This product is already blended with FCO., available from doTERRA is packaged for convenient and portable application in a roll-on bottle.

 

Love is in the Air…You Can Even Smell It!

Take just a little extra time to getting ready for a special night and start by diffusing oils an hour before your evening. Not only can you use oils on your body effectively, but inhaling the oils through diffusing is a great way to get a consistent flow of benefits over a longer period of time.

“IN the MOOD” Diffuser Blend
• 3 drops YLANG YLANG
• 3 drops WILD ORANGE
• 1 drop CEDARWOOD
• 1 drop SANDALWOOD

“KISS ME QUICK LOVER” Diffuser Blend:
• 4 drops SANDALWOOD
• 3 drops YLANG YLANG
• 1 drop GINGER
• 1 drop PATCHOULI

 

Give the Gift of a Sensual Massage

Like I said earlier, flowers fade and cards go into the recycled bin, but a sensual massage creates more than lasting memories. A sensual massage is a guaranteed great way to “get in the mood”. Loosening muscles and relieving tension with physical contact can help your love-making definitely move in the right direction.

Side note, I recommend that you dilute your EOs with fractionated coconut oil. You will cover more surface area and it will deliver the power of the oils into the body over a longer period of time. Best thing about Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) is that it’s almost non-greasy! GREAT for the special sheets!

Here are my 2 recipes for EXOTIC Massages. But BEWARE, they won’t be any ordinary massage!

WILD ABOUT YOU Massage Blend:
• 2 drop ROSEMARY
• 5 drops WILD ORANGE
• 2 drop PATCHOULI
• 3 drops BERGAMOT
• 1/4 cup FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL

“LET’S SPICE THINGS UP” Blend:
• 5 drop YLANG YLANG
• 4 drops BLACK PEPPER
• 1/4 cup FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL

Bonus Tip: Did you know that the BIG TOE and ANKLES have reflexology points to increase sexual desire?

  

 

Love it HOT and STEAMY?

Bathing together tonight OR just preparing yourself for you partner with a relaxing soak? There are some great oils that I suggest you use in the bathtub that consist of only THREE ingredients.

“HOT and STEAMY” Soaking Blend:
• 1 cup Epsom Salts
• 1 cup Baking Soda
• 6-8 drops of essential oils the following oils:
   –> WHISPER Blend
   –> YLANG YLANG
   –> SANDALWOOD

Mix together in a bowl with ½ cup of water then pour into your bath water, give it a stir, and soak for 30 minutes to receive the full benefits. Have fun and consider experimenting with different oils too!

 

 

Women vs Men. What Oils are Best?

Sure, some oils are a bit more specific to women, others for men.

WHISPER, doTERRA’s proprietary blend, is a complex and diverse blend that combines with each individual’s chemistry – our NATURAL PHEROMONES – to create a uniquely personal fragrance.

Whisper contains a combination of the euphoric aromas of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang along with the warm and spicy scents of Patchouli, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Cocoa. When these individual oils are blended together they offer a distinct scent that intrigues the senses of both the wearer and those passing by.

This blend is simply AHHHHMAZZZING! I can’t tell you all the comments I get (even from strangers!) when I use this sensual blend.

I use Whisper in a variety of ways:
• Apply to wrists, back of neck, and pulse points for a distinct and individual fragrance
• Diffuse or add to clay pendants for a unique aromatic experience
• Place 1-2 drops in the palm of the hand and rub on clothing to experience calming emotions

I recommend you dilute Whisper with Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity and make your purchase go further. Trust me, you only need 1 drop in a quarter size amount of FCO.

 

Essential Oils For Men

Men may experience difficulty concerning circulation support in a CERTAIN AREA when it comes to sexual intimacy. There are oils that support circulation and can be used regularly. Because these oils will be used on  skin sensitivity, they SHOULD BE DILUTED with carrier oil such as FCO or regular coconut oil)

Oils for Circulation Support include:
• BLACK PEPPER
• CLARY SAGE
• FENNEL

 

 

 

Let’s Get Really Personal

Okay.. now it’s time to get REALLY personal! There must be 101 use for coconut oils, but when it comes to personal lubricants, Coconut oil is by far the greatest ALL NATURAL base.

Smooth as Silk Love Lube:
Melt 1/2 cup of regular solid Coconut Oil and while still warm (but not hot) mix with 6-8 drops of your choice of oil listed below. Store in an airtight container – beside your bed so it’s ready to go whenever you are!

My Favorite Top 3 Love Lubricant EOs:
• WHISPER Blend
• YLANG YLANG
• BERGAMOT
• PATCHOULI

Bedside Note: do not use COCONUT OIL (or ANY oil!) with LATEX CONDOMS…we are not responsible for coconut essential oil babies!
