Week 37: "Stress" Art Project

This week's art project is: One way to make your lover feel safe is to help him/her release tension. Using a piece of cardboard (the side flaps on a packing box are the perfect size for this), write something along the lines of, “Time to De-Stress: Good for a day of pampering. Non-Expiring – Multiple Uses Are Encouraged.” Make certain your spouse uses this coupon whenever they need a stress reliever, or even just for some healthy bonding time. If you would like, draw a clock on it and the word stress with a circle and line through it (to represent no stress). Ladies, if you so choose, kiss the cardboard with a sexy shade of lipstick (or draw them on).

In order to make each other feel extra safe and sheltered this week, the day of pampering could include: starting the day off with breakfast in bed, setting a warm bath with bubbles or something else scented for the other (even better to take the bath together if you have a tub big enough), then dry each other off with a warm and fluffy towel. Add a massage before or after the bath for an extra special morning. All throughout the day do little things that will make your mate feel pampered (you know what the other likes). Ending the day by serving comfort foods (even if it is just dessert) under low lights will enhance your feeling of security even further! Make promises throughout the day to always do your best to keep each other safe physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I mostly only wear tinted lip balm or a light shade of lipstick, so my "kiss" isn't very dark, but you can always draw one if you so choose. Also, I used the cardboard flap that protects the tissues on a new box as it seemed like the perfect size. Mine is very simple, but you can make yours as fancy as you so choose!
