Homemade Love


© Michele KayD

This special Romance Suite feature is in honor (and aid) of all frugal, thrifty, budget-conscious or just unique romantics who prefer to add their own blend of tender loving care by creating homemade , personal gifts and treats for those they love. Some options include: flavored kitchen oils, gifts in a jar, herbal or floral presentations (with meaning and/ or aphrodisiac qualities), candles, crock pot dinners or desserts, fondue delights, aromatherapy blends, appetizer-only- meals, massage and bath oils, potpourri...anything memorable and one-of-a-kind, made straight from your own hands and of course your heart!

My Favorite Blends and Recipes:

Sensual Massage Oil:

combine 25 ml of sweet almond or any base oil, 3 drops of clary sage essential oil, 3 drops of rosemary essential oil, and 3 drops of jasmine essential oil. Shake well in a decorative bottle and enjoy!

Caramel-chocolate Fondue: -melt 7 oz. of old-fashioned caramels (especially the chocolate filled variety), 1/4 Cup mini marshmallows, 1/3 Cup whipped cream or milk, and 2 teaspoons rum or Godiva Liqueur. -dip fresh fruit (apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries), Short bread cookies, pound cake slices, or biscotti. Be sure to share!
