Do You Want to be Nice to Your Significant Other?
By James C

If you love someone enough to offer them a toe-tingling foot massage after a long days work, do you think that they would actually turn it down? I don't think so! You do not have to be a professional to relieve what ails that one person in your life, but it will help to know some basics. Here are a few surefire techniques you cantry at home.

First you want to find some indirect lighting and soothing music. Now you need some scented candles or incense to enhance to atmosphere. A few good ideas: lavender, it can act as an aphrodisiac or eucalyptus and peppermint can have an energizing effect. After you have set the mood, the next step is massage oil. Please do not apply the oil directly from the container to the body because it is too cold and not relaxing. A good rule to follow is to lay the back of your hand against the foot, put enough oil in the palm of your hand inwhich you are applying the oil.

Before massaging your loved one's tired feet, take some deep breaths yourself to help you relax. Then follow the followingsteps:

*Apply light pressure to the foot, holding it with both hands along the sides and squeezing. Then rub the top of the foot and around theankles.

*Now, run the sides of the foot by applying pressure with the heel of yourhand.

*Next, rub every toe between your thumb and first two fingers.

*Repeat all the above steps for the opposite foot.
