Ah, date night. It’s supposed to be exciting, yet it somehow usually ends up causing loads of unnecessary stress. From checking your schedules, to planning, to making reservations, to getting dressed up- date night isn’t always simple to make happen. However, with your own Pool Tech Plus hot tub, setting up a romantic evening is easier than ever.
Forget about securing a spot at the best restaurant in town and turn your backyard into the most ideal spot for a romantic night. You’ll impress your significant other without sacrificing valuable alone time. Here’s how to make your loved one feel appreciated with the PERFECT hot tub date night:
- Check the weather forecast – Nothing will kill the mood faster than a date night planned in the middle of the worst storm of the year. Be sure that you don’t plan the perfect date night at the imperfect time. You can easily find the forecast a week ahead of time on any weather-related website or app. If your hot tub is located indoors, you can disregard this step!
- Clear both your schedules – You don’t want to put all of your effort into planning without giving your spouse a heads up. Avoid awkward situations and make sure that you’ve considered their time and availability. Don’t be afraid to communicate that you are planning something special. As adults, it’s important to respect each other’s time.
- Get rid of distractions – Cell phones, tablets and other electronics are distracting. Try “banning” them during your date, putting them out of reach so that you can focus on each other. This is extremely difficult for people to do, but you might be surprised by how much more interesting conversation becomes without constant distractions. In the same vein, if you have children, consider asking a sitter to keep them preoccupied for a few hours.
- Sprinkle petals around – Okay, we all know that rose petals can be a little cliche, but they’re a common theme in romantic evenings for a reason. If your significant other has a favorite flower, try ordering or purchasing them and using them in lieu of rose petals. If they’re fresh, their sweet perfume will fill the air and brighten the overall mood.
- Play their favorite music – Music is a tried and true method for connecting with others. Putting together your loved one’s favorite playlist is relatively easy and shouldn’t take longer than a couple of minutes. Apps like Spotify, YouTube or Soundcloud make it easy to save choice songs in a single place.
- Dim the lights – Dimming the lights acts as an effective aphrodisiac and mood-setter. You can turn off all the lights and use electric or wax candles, or you can string up decorative lights with a dim setting. Lamps are another great way to lower the lights and most of us have a lamp or two lying around the house.
- Have food and drinks ready – Order or make your special someone’s favorite food. If you don’t already have outdoor furniture, drag a small table outside and cover it with delicious morsels. Snack foods like cheese boards and sandwiches are easier to work with and usually less messy, however, a small feast (roast chicken, rosemary potatoes and a salad, anyone?) is sure to make a big impression!
- Plan an activity – Keep the mood light and create a lasting memory with a fun planned activity. You can play a game (there are plenty of hot tub games to choose from) or watch a movie- just make sure that it’s something you both enjoy doing together.
You’re officially set up and ready to go! Now, enjoy rekindling and bonding with your significant other. Don’t hesitate to say silly things or read off poetry that makes you think of them- they’ll either love it, or you can giggle about it together. What’s most important, is that you’re focusing on and setting time aside for each other. Live, laugh and love with your Master Spa Legend Series hot tub. Don’t forget to soak up this wonderful moment!
