Gathering essential ingredients...

The next items are not "essential" but will help provide the ultimate bathing experience.

* Start your bath off with a toast for two. Keep your wine or champagne chilled in a bucket nearby.

* Help set the mood with romantic music.

* Use a bath sponge or mit to wash each other.

* Extremely soft towels to dry each other off with when you're done.

* A removable shower head.

* Splurge on a really great shampoo and conditioner. Once again, I recommend Garden Botanika. Their Stimulating Peppermint Treatment conditioner is a special treat all in itself!

While you're bathing...

What you do while you're taking your bath together can mean more than the actual act! With this in mind, here a few ideas of romantic things you can do together. Each suggestion can be modified to be as sensual as you wish.

* Start by taking turns washing each other's head. Make sure to deeply massage their head while doing this.

* Take turns washing each other.

* While you're washing each other, stop and give a few kisses here and there on your partner's body.

* Be comfortable and confident with yourself. There is no wrong or right way to be sensual or romantic. Doing what comes natural to you both is always the best experience.

* Treat your partner as if they are royalty. Spoil them with indulgences. While you're washing your partner, gently give them a sensual massage. Anything you'd absolutely love to have happen to you, do for them.

* When you're done, rinse each other off with your removable shower head or regular shower.

* Take turns drying each other off.

* Complete the moment by having a plate of romantic finger foods and your glasses of wine or champagne ready. Then, while in-between feeding each other, blow dry and brush each other's hair.

* If your romantic bath has taken place in the evening, end the night with a sensual massage or by cuddling together in bed with a romantic movie.

Enriching the experience...

Add a new dimension to your bathing experience by using the following romantic ideas!

* Laminate a love poem or love letter and hide it in the bubbles for your love to find!

* Engrave an invitation to your romantic bath on a heart shaped bar of soap with a toothpick. Leave it out underneath a folded washcloth, somewhere your partner will find.

* Add rose petals to the bath for a romantic touch.

* Enhance your often unused senses by agreeing to not speak to each other the entire time. Communicate instead by touch and emotion.

* Treat your love by getting "his and her's" terry-cloth robes.

* For the ultimate experience, reserve a suite at a luxury hotel nearby that has a whirlpool bath or hot tub for two!
