Sensual pleasures

Sensual - just what does this word mean to you? According to the dictionary, something sensual gives pleasure to a person's physical senses and feelings rather than to their mind or soul. And a sensual experience does not necessarily have to end in bed! A genre of music, food, a special person or even a particular physical activity can stir your senses and makes you want to purr or grrr...and give you pleasurable moments. So what turns people on.....

Some say that a massage is something that gives the ultimate pleasure. When getting a massage, shut your eyes and enjoy the manual manipulation. The feeling is unbelievably sensual.

Others say soaking in an aromatic hot bath, inhaling the relaxing scent of lavender and surrounded by the soothing flames of scented candles.

Ladies may love the soft satin sheets and silk lingerie.

Fluid Retention In The Legs

If you don't want to get puffy ankles and swollen fingers keep moving. Any kind of exercise turbocharges your circulation and gets the body's lymph system - responsible for elimination toxic waste - working to the maximum.
Premenstrual water retention is a problem for almost all of us at some stage but the worst thing you can do is cut down on fluid intake: instead, drink litres of water to flush out the system and brew fennel tea (made from one of nature's great diuretics, buy the tea bags in any health food store). Try to avoid prescription diuretics, they may work like a short term fix, but a better idea is to get your own body's system working more efficiently.

Quit caffeine - cola, tea, coffee. Cut down on salt and alcohol (or cut out drinking altogether); all these encourage puffiness.

Massage, too (self-massage or from a massage therapist), gets everything moving the way it should. So does simply making circles with wrists and ankles,which you can do almost anywhere (without raising eyebrows).
