50 Shades of Luvmybox

Calling all Couples! 
This is not for the faint of heart, or those that are uncomfortable with sex. Yes, I said it on my blog folks. It's a three letter word that, in my honest opinion, is imperative for a flourishing relationship.


It's the month of Love and the answer to spicing things up in the bodoir comes beautifully packaged and right to your front door... every month!

As a happily married woman, I think it's very important to keep things "healthy" and happy in your relationship.
After having kids, I fully understand how much more difficult that can be with lack of sleep, the sound of crying and or "Mommy, I'm hungry." "Daddy, I'm bored!" Mommy, I had another nightmare, can I sleep in your room tonight?" (again).
*sigh*

The constant demands of your time and attention has been overtaken by the little people in your home, the deadlines of your job and the day-to-day grind that we tend to forget about the needs of our spouse/partner. This can be very malignant in your marriage/relationship.

I came across an awesome monthly service subscription called Luvmybox which offers flirty and fun items to help bring back the romance in your relationship and remedy your routine by adding a little spice!

For only $34.95 a month (that includes free S&H), you and your partner will receive a surprise themed box full of sexy-time surprises in discreet packaging.

So if your child is as nosy as mine is and expects every package delivered to be hers or God forbid it gets delivered to your neighbors by accident or maybe your mother-in-law is staying the week and decides to take your package inside for you (yikes!), you won't have to worry about anyone knowing what's inside unless they rip it open.

I received a box to see for myself and here's what I got inside.


First off, I really loved the packaging. It was pretty and felt like I was opening a special gift.

Inside was a note letting you know about everything you received inside the box and included: O'My Strawberry Cheesecake Flavoured Lubricant ($12.95), Jimmy Jane Afterglow Natural Massage Candle ($28.95), Massager ($5.00), Masque Orally Dissolvable Gel Strips (3 strip pack $9.95).

You can see more examples of past boxes here.

Everything was done tastefully considering it's contents.
I really liked everything that was included in the package (no pun intended), especially the Jimmy Jane Afterglow Natural Massage Candle. The scent is Dark Vanilla and it burns for 32 hours too! Smells amazing!


I challenge all you lovebirds to go explore a little more and start building that intimacy!
Make 2013 the year that you rediscover each other once again.

Happy Valentine's Day!
