A Hard Days Work Deserves Spoiling

I’m sure we’ve all experienced this after working out in the gym or finishing a tough days worth of yard work, or even painting a room in your house. This type of activity is followed by a need to relax and a desire for a message or muscle relaxer. Well, when neither of those options will occur, how about a nice warm bath.

So, here’s my idea on how to spoil your spouse in this scenario.

When you see your spouse, or significant other doing any kind of work that is going to result in them being so physically tired that a nice warm bath would benefit them, these are the simple steps you can take to make them feel that, not only is the work they accomplished appreciated, but they are deserving of being spoiled.

  1. Rinse the dust out of the bathtub and wipe down the edges so it’s all sparkly clean.
  2. Fix (or order take out) a lovely meal for them to eat when they’re done so they can get nourishment after all their hard work.
  3. Immediately following the meal, run a nice hot bath (with bubbles is nice) for them in the newly sparkling clean tub.
  4. Light a few candles and set them around the tub.
  5. Place a few magazines and even their favorite book near the tub for them to read as they’re relaxing.
  6. Lead them into the tub area and then walk away, allowing them to relax and enjoy the time they have in the newly candle lit, sparkling tub.
  7. While they are soaking, clean up the kitchen so that it too becomes sparkly.
  8. Poor a glass or two of wine and take it in to the person soaking in the tub. Enjoy a glass yourself.

The result of all of this effort is that your spouse or significant other is going to feel 100% appreciated and 100% spoiled. Nice job!

Spoil Them with Boca Java Coffee!

I must not be dropping enough hints to my husband, because you know what I would really love, what would make me feel spoiled? If he would make my coffee on weekend mornings. See, we don’t see eye to eye on what constitutes a “good” cup of coffee. He buys a can of Maxwell House about once a month and uses it until it is gone, even after the grounds have started to get bitter smelling. ICK.

I, on the other hand, discovered Boca Java coffee about six months ago, and I have never bought anything else since. What first caught my eye was how many different flavors of coffee they sell, and the fun names, like Vacation Villa Vanilla (my son’s favorite), and Lee’s Caramel Kiss Island, “dedicated to Lee Frcek, cherished wife, mother and grandmother, who battled leukemia for thirteen and a half years. A portion of the proceeds from this coffee will be donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which helps thousands of people annually and works toward the development of a cure.”

If your special someone is a coffee lover, Boca Java would make an excellent gift for any occasion. You can arrange for automatic delivery every 2, 3, 4, or 6 weeks, and you get an email ahead of time in case you want to pick a different flavor. Not sure which flavor your sweetie would like best? I highly recommend the Baby Boca packs, which are $2.25 each and 2 ounces of coffee, which makes an 8 cup pot. It’s a great way to try flavors like Surfin’ Safari, which is Vanilla, Kahlua, and Caramel combined (yum!) and their most popular flavored coffee.

Your sweetie doesn’t like flavored coffee? No problem! Boca Java also has great House Blends, from Boca Sunrise, a medium blend with a clean finish, to South Beach Rhythm, which is a smoky, full-body roast. There is also decaf and espresso blends available. Something for everyone!

SO, what would really make me feel spoiled is if my husband would make me a cup of my favorite Boca Java flavor and bring it to me in bed to wake me up! I definitely need to drop some hints-maybe a note stuck to the coffee maker would do the trick :)
