5 Romance Enhancers

Here are our top picks for enhancing your honeymoon escape.

Groove Tunes

What music makes your body move and your inhibitions melt? If your hotel has an in room iPod docking station, bring your iPod from home to score your seduction. Good picks include Al Green, Marvin Gaye and Sade.

Lingerie

Slip on something a little risque for your exotic love making location. Better yet, wear it under your dinner dress and give him a little preview during dinner of what’s on your dessert menu!

Aromatherapy Candles

Nothing transforms a hotel room into a love den better than the sensual flicker and warm glow of candles. For instant ambience, throw a couple of votives in your bag. Don’t forget the matches!

Bubble Bath

Rub a dub dub, two naked newlyweds in a tub! Share your bath with Mr. Bubble and a bottle of bubbly for a frothy frolic. Jacuzzis require about half the amount of bubble bath you’d add to a normal bathtub.

Massage Lotion

The perfect chaser to a warm bubble bath? A leisurely massage. Pack a travel-size bottle of fragrant massage potion and apply liberally. Sensual oils and aromas include Patchouli, Rosewood, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang.
