DECIDING FACTORS: Get Jiggy With a Spa Night

Deciding Factors is, of course, another spa night for lovers. Since a spa night is tranquil. While also giving room for a romantic pause. Not to mention a good dermatologist report from your significant other.

DECIDING ON ANOTHER SPA NIGHT...GOOD!
DECIDING FACTORS…HUM

But I must admit it’s not entirely my idea. Since, the main of this activity came from a woman who I met while working at a retirement retreat. So, let me begin by telling her story.

Her husband had lost much of his motor function due to early Parkinson’s. And it became gradually harder for him to shave himself. So, she began a ritual of doing it for him. But instead of making him feel that he was failing, this smart wife made a romantic time of it!

She repeated the following deciding factors to me

I would say to him… “George, tonight I’ll shave you. Then we’ll apply a facial mask together.” I thought it a pleasant activity for us to try.

“But little did I know how much it would mean to me later,” she added.

“That was very clever of you…” I said.

She continued, “As the days grew on he couldn’t wait for our special time together. I knew he needed a shave and a facial. And anything else was fine with him.”

“I found her actions dECIDEDLY CUTE.”

“He knew what I was doing. But soon forgot about his losses. And instead, we looked forward to our times together. Which, by the way became more and more frequent until his death,” she told me.

“I’m sorry for bring up something so painful,” I added.

She smiled sweetly, while patting my hand. Adding, “That’s fine. I’m glad to share the memory with anyone who cares to listen to an old woman babble on about her George.”

And with a lump welling in my throat and holding back some tears. I nodded saying, “No, I love it. Really.”

Then she sat back adding, “I felt we had hard times ahead. But we vowed to make them good times, instead. And I remember them fondly to this day.”

Again, she thanked me for reminding her of the memory.

And I never forgot it either. Because it was that deciding factor that made me realize how wonderful and powerful love really is. While also realizing how important it is to stay cleaver instead of defeated. Even when the odds seem to be in charge. And it is because of her story that this activity exists in this blog.

So, prepare to dress in towels. Or nothing at all. Then bring your razors and such. Because tonight ladies, you’re in charge of shaving your man. And if your man wears a beard, then simply groom it. Then move on to the facial. But unless his hand is broken, he’ll be applying the goo to your face as well.

Deciding to Go natural by using fresh ingredients.

1. 1/8 cup oatmeal
2. 1 T almond
3. 1 T avocado
4. 1 T yogurt
5. 3 T pure water

Grind oatmeal & almonds in a coffee grinder. Add all ingredients to a bowl. Mix to form paste. Apply to face. Allow to set 5 minutes or more. Then rinse with cool water and pat dry.

Deciding factors improves the weapon of touch for everyone. So, pick your location. And keep the spa-night simple. Then you too can have romantic interludes for the rest of your days. With a very small amount of effort.

DON’T FORGET THE TIGHTIE WHITES.
MOVE OVER THE NATURAL WONDER IS HERE.

ADORE ME: A guide to using ink, AGAIN!

Adore the note. Or a note that’s adoring. Either way a message isn’t the same without a bit of love in one. And giving one is easy. But finding a pen with ink in it. HARDER!

So, get down and do a bit of jawing, squiggle style.

Because love is not the dying moan of a distant violin. Or smokes burning in an ashtray. Nor clothes thrown about the floor. OKAY IT’S CLOTHES THROWN ABOUT THE FLOOR! But mostly it’s the triumphant twang of bed-springs!

INK IT...ADORE YOU!!!
I SIMPLY ADORE THE OUTFIT YOU’RE NOT WEARING!

AWE YES, the joyous plunk of a bed-spring or two! But most of us don’t have bed springs to plunk anymore. YET IF WE DID…THAT WOULD SURE KEEP THE ADORE ALIVE IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS!

And adore the note isn’t about a twang or a pluck.

In fact, it’s not about buying a card at all. But you can if you must. It’s also not about learning to play a violin either. But you can do that if you wish. Nor is it about starting a bad habit. But smoke if you will.

It’s the unmistakable eye-popping magic of an adoring note.

And it’s catching. So, write a few. Or many. Whatever it takes to get that twang. Then open your mind and connect time to times. And freeze the whole story in an adoring note.

Perhaps in raw beauty. Or vivid passions. Maybe colorful cravings. Or a tranquil longing. Even a shared expression matters. A prose from your heart about how you feel…

Put your pen to paper with a note of adore. they’ll love you for it. Maybe even twice!

Because an adoring note is your attempt to unravel your deep affections. Such as the mystery behind your deep passions. All while indulging them in a richly woven prose. Certainly, intimate. Perhaps passionate. Yet always intriguing.

But you also want to experience more twang with them. That yearning that speaks to embark on a passage of stimulating activities. Activities that go beyond any mattress what-so-ever.

That’s a Note that adores.

So, attempt to make several with a delectable mixture of global flavor infused with hints of variety. And if you’re hungry for myth or magic don’t miss this chance to spell it out in a note.

So again, bedazzle them. Or make them dizzy. Then allow them some time to take it all in. WHILE THEY GUSH OVER YOUR WORDS. In fact, they might even write a few for you!

Let each card offer something distinctive. Because you’re the pursuer in a tranquil sanctuary all your own. Slipping away to dream about the next escapade within each decree of your note.

Adore the note…an exotic wonder…line after line.

LINE AFTER LINE…REALLY
A NOTE-ABLE CONCLUSION

WATCHING YOU: With A Digital Lens

WATCHING YOU, WATCHING ME: SHHH…Tell Everybody!

Watching somebody you love is about to change your world. That and a quick click of a digital lens. Because the power of a photo is a story. And that story is important.

Because this watching your about to do. Is also going to create a chemistry. With the help of a lens and some imagination. Since its images you’re looking for. Like some raw fresh energy.

The naked truth, no need to go nudity. But if you must…

WATCHING THE TIME STANDING STILL
SHHH…OH, JUST TELL EVERYBODY!!!

So, click away. Then opt for a poetic night of point and seek. Because although most stills maybe all in the lightning. It’s also about light playing across human skin. Or the reflection of colors. In fact, that sort of genius will guide you on a hip ride to unknown zones. So, get it ready. And do some clicking.

And by the way, I’m not peddling photography. Instead, the idea of wholesome entertainment…shutter bug style.

so, picture this.

 

“We awe. Then move. Capturing a glance. Studying our subject through the naked lens. One click. And the quest, seduces our soul.”

Because a photo is power! Perhaps it’s the intimate close-up. Or a facial look that holds your interest. Even an unaware expression renews feelings. Which becomes the core of the subject.

Then of course there is the eyes. And their gaze. Ones soul. And one frame links the self and the day forever.

So, don’t say cheese, instead think SEX!

Because looking at photo is one of the world’s most exotic artifacts.

Probably because it’s how we share ordinary life. And love. Or instants. All being held in the power of a photo. An ancestry of expressions. To live again at a later time.

So, spend your day chasing smiles. Whether beaming from ruins. Or perhaps monuments. Maybe an architectural wonder. Or rather a simple frown over a late day lunch. Certainly, you won’t leave the house without your clicker, today. Because the best photo ops have a way of taking us by surprise.

Watching them perching, yawning, or dressing up. Point and shoot…it’s like looking for a story-telling.

The photo-op. But can it really renew a relationship? Perhaps. It is a powerful visual story after all. In fact, it’s clearly the most honest exchange between a subject and the camera lens. Two complete souls on either side. As if life were unfolding one click at a time.

Watching prying eyes open to magical fetchers never before seen…

A photo library is an open door into the window of our deepest spaces. And its truths. It is fussy moments that we lock in time. And as these photos fill our lives, we are privy to the genius of our humanity!

Imagery matters, so keep watching.

 

THIS LEVEL OF SKILL IS STOPPING ME IN MY TRACKS.

FLASHES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

COOKING NAKED: Now there’s something special!

COOKING NAKED! “Why if God wanted us to cook nude, he’d have made it a formality.”

Cooking Naked. “Perhaps we need thicker skins.”

NAKED-COOKING IS LIKE HOME-EC AT HOME
OH…BOY

But here’s a little bite before you start. In lieu of all modern conveniences, the power will go out. Certain food prepping systems will have melt downs. And other ones won’t work like they use too.

Naked-Cooking. “Who needs electricity!”

But turns out that some of the above is false. However, the art of being nude with a pot or pan in hand is better than any myth. Because it’s pleasantly perfect. While merging old-world nostalgia with new-world charm.

In fact, you might still have dishes but you won’t have laundry!

Naked-Cookery. “I guess that’s nude”?

Perhaps being nude is a matter of taste. But isn’t that the way we should be using our culinary skills? As well as the latest utensils? And isn’t that why it’s so great? Because it’s basic. Healthy. And last bite good.

“Perhaps when we say come as you are…we mean nude.”

And there’s no myth in that. Because you might forget what you ate. But you’ll remember everything else.

Naked-Cuisine. “That must mean we forgot something?”

And if you believe that real foods are organic, then cook nude. Certainly, this is not an act of nature. It’s pure raw living! Which will actually widen your culinary horizons. LIKE WEEKNIGHT COOKING! In fact, this is what’s trending around the table tonight. 

Naked-Cooking. “valid ONLY between consenting adults WITH APRONS.”

And although it might not be on every bucket-list. It certainly should be. Because it takes years to properly pair wine…but only seconds to add cooking naked to the list.

And yet only one thing will make you feel more alive and happy when not wearing pants!

Naked-Cooking. “Is there any illustrations or instructions? Because I really think there should be!”

In fact, it’s a flaunting good time. Because it’s burning with love…literally. Perhaps becoming your #1 out of the box flirtation. Because getting food ready, now, might become the most interesting part of your next dinner.

Naked-Cooking, no need to pack the stretchy pants!

STARK-RAVING MAD? NO JUST STARK-NAKED!

 

I DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT IT
WERE NUDE, HOPE YOU ARE TOO
