Me and my friends decided that the best bridal shower gift to get for a bride-to-be friend would be a selection of some sexy lingeries, perhaps some nice French chemises, babydoll nighties, teddies or even bustiers. Our friend is a very shy girl and we believe it is our responsibility (lol) to set her on the right path with regards to her wedding night. And you know what, she turned absolutely red when we presented her with the gift and refuses to accept it much less use it. After much coaxing though, she said she would try it out and get used to the idea of wearing it before the wedding. Here’s hoping for that miracle

Cheerio…

Similar to flowers, stones and gems have always been synonymously related to romance. Now, although my hubby is not the flower type of person, he is the stone and gem type. I remember fondly the gold bracelet that he gave me for our first anniversary and the pearl necklace he gave me for our third. He always knows how to keep the romance alive in our lives
