How Husbands and Wives Work Together to Make a Hot Mom

 With all the daily stress of being a mother, it’s sometimes hard to feel sexy. You’re constantly trying to juggle the daily responsibilities of your job, housekeeping and the kids, and no matter how much dad helps out, mothers can get caught in the daily whirlwind and forget what sexiness really feels like.

Mother’s Day rolls around once a year, and it’s as much a day to celebrate womanhood as it is to celebrate family. Husbands can play a crucial role in helping mom feel sexy, and moms can do their own part to celebrate their womanhood. Just follow a few simple tips this holiday, courtesy of Astroglide Personal Lubricants, and you’ll be on your way to a happy Mother’s Day.

 For Husbands

•  Compliment her already! – You’ve been married for HOW MANY YEARS? When was the last time you paid her a compliment? Whether it’s about her appearance, something she worked hard on or just a simple, everyday thing, compliment her and make her feel good about herself.
•  Flowers and lighting – If you decide to buy her flowers, make sure that you get a few extra that you keep separate from the bouquet so that you can sprinkle the petals on the bed for a sensual bedroom experience. Bring some candles into the picture for some moodlighting, or if candles aren’t your thing, replace one of two of the regular lightbulbs with soft colored ones for a change of scenery.
•  Buy her a beauty day – There is no better way to help mom feel sexy than by treating her to a day of beauty. Buy your wife a day filled with manicures, haircuts and massages to help her relax and get back in touch with her inner self.
•  Or you be the spa. Money is tight for many folks, so if sending her to a spa is out of the question, you can set up a hot relaxing bubble bath right in your own bathroom. Run the water for her, set the scene with some candles, flowers, her drink of choice and perhaps that latest best-seller that she’s been meaning to read. And after her bath, use her favorite body lotion and give her a full body massage . . . and take it as far as you want to go.
• Send her out with friends – Nothing like a night on the town with friends to get a girl back in touch with her femininity. Plan a girl’s night for your wife and her friends for some adult conversation and fun.
• Take her on a mini shopping spree at a lingerie store. There are inherent dangers in buying the wrong size and poor fitting lingerie for your leading lady, so it’s best to take her shopping for those special items. Even though it’s only you and she that get to see these goodies, knowing that she’s wearing beautiful, proper-fitting lingerie will not only lift her spirits but possibly her libido as well.

 For Moms

•  Find a new scent – Your sense of smell is strongly tied to emotion. Feeling like you need a change in attitude? Go out shopping and check out some new perfumes to put a little spring in your step and make you feel sexier around your man.
•  Shave…everywhere – Our daily activities usually don’t allow us the time to really get down to brass tacks. A hurried razorblade over the legs in the shower and we’re drying off and out the door! Take a little extra time to shave anywhere and everywhere you want to be touched. Be sure to invite your husband to explore all this new territory.
•  Dancing for him? No pole necessary! – A little striptease for your lover can go a long way in making you feel sexy again. Just remember, if you’re going to strip for him on Mother’s Day, you better have something extra special lined up for Father’s Day!

Some Tips for Heating the Silk Sheets from Astroglide Personal Lubricants

 Pop open a bottle of wine and break out the lingerie: this Valentine’s Day is going to be special. Planning the romantic evening is a breeze, but once dinner is done, the lights go down and the candles are lit, it’s time to shake things up in the bedroom- work some magic that’ll make Cupid jealous.

 Here are some tips from Astroglide Personal Lubricants to help set the mood for your Valentine’s evening.

•  Sweeten the moment with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, an oral sensation that will put your lover on sensory overload. A Box of chocolates is nice, but chocolate body paints are even nicer. Write words or symbols of your love and then slowly lick them off.
•  Make ‘em beg for more with a prolonged foreplay experience your significant other will never forget. Start out with kissing and a little light touching and work your way up to nibbling, light scratching and some dirty talk for good measure.
•  A silky-smooth and sensual experience is the best way to get your skin warmed up for an evening of pleasure. Forego your usual bed-sheets and pillowcases for some vividly colored silk sheets. Stimulating as many senses as possible simultaneously is key to the perfect night.
•  Aural pleasure is a great way to get the rhythm right. Create a sexy playlist and put it on at a low volume to build the right aura—but make sure it’s not up too loud, because you’ll want to be able to hear the sounds of your lover for some added audio stimulation.
•  Home is where the heart is, so listen to your heart and really explore the space. The bedroom’s great, but you’ve been there and done that. Take it into the kitchen, the living room, the office, the shower, even the closet—anywhere that’s new and exciting.
•  Lose control by letting your lover tie you up. Who likes to dominate in your relationship? You know who owns the bedroom better than we do, so let that person take control. Or switch up the roles for an even naughtier night.  Tie your lover up with a scarf, put a blindfold on them and watch the rest of their senses heighten eagerly.
•  Heart- and skin-warming pleasure is the perfect solution steaming up the bedroom. Throw some Astroglide Warming Liquid into the mix to add a soft, warming sensation to skin, enhancing the pleasure for you and your special someone. For lovers who like to turn up the heat—without the candle wax.
•  Go Wet & Wild in the shower, Jacuzzi, or even a kiddie pool in the backyard. Bring a new dimension of fun to your lovemaking with a little water play. Bubbles and a light fragrance add just the right touch. Add Astroglide X Silicone Personal Lubricant and experience a whole new level of slippery sensations.
