Al Franken Sends Love Letter to Wife — and to Constituents
This past Saturday was the 40th anniversary of the night Al Franken met his wife Franni. Did he send her a box of chocolates and take her out to dinner? I hope so — but the Senator from Minnesota went one better.
Found It! Romantic Bed From July Free People Catalog
While flipping through the latest Free People catalog, my eye wasn't drawn to the clothes. Instead, I couldn't stop looking at this graceful wrought iron bed frame. The dual color tones here, with the gold on the interior of the headboard, and the rest of the frame covered in white, create a lovely effect.
Do You Ever Place Candles on Your Stairs or Floor?
I love how utterly romantic this image is. It's straight out of a romantic foreign film. Practically, though, I'd worry about fire hazards associated with having candles within kicking distance.
Do You Have a Curtained Bed?
There's something so ethereal and romantic about a curtained bed. However, I just don't think it's practical at my house. Would it work in yours?
Love It or Hate It? A Mirror Facing the Bed
After I rearranged my bedroom recently, a friend of mine said with a wink, "Oh, so the mirror's facing the bed." I hadn't even thought about that arrangement until she called it out. While my boudoir is a bit too small to try to keep the bed out of full-length mirror's view, there are many couples who find it advantageous to "reflect" on events in this room.
Cool Idea: A Romeo and Juliet-Style Wedding (Without Tragedy)
If you're a fan of Shakespearean romance (without, you know, the death and deception), then consider heading to Verona to get married on the same balcony where Juliet supposedly lived. The balcony is located on the second floor of the supposed 14th-century Casa di Giulietta (home of Juliet) in Verona, Italy.

Let's Dish: What Was Your Most Romantic Meal Ever?
With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, I've got romantic meals on the brain, and it naturally makes me think of the most romantic dinner I've ever had. Six years ago, my sweetheart and I had an impromptu dinner at a French restaurant in New York City.
Everything about it was perfect, from the outdoor garden with its trickling fountain to the thoughtfully prepared food.
7 Savory Aphrodisiacs
Since there are few things in the world more sensual than the act of eating, it's logical that the world has a bevy of foods purported to have pleasure-enhancing properties. You may know that vanilla, with its musky scent, is a common aphrodisiac; so is the fertile-looking fig. But what about the other end of the spectrum?
How Often Do You Enjoy Candlelight During Dinner?
How Often Do You Enjoy Candlelight During Dinner?
More than once a week, I love eating by candlelight.
Several times a month, when I take the time to make a nice dinner.
The Red Bedroom Two Ways: Modern and Romantic
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary, and for most of us, that means decorating it to fit our needs and personal tastes. Most of us see our bedrooms as a place to relax, unwind, and seek a little romance. With those needs in mind, I've put together two different looks using a color palette of red, white, and black.
