The Art of Massage
Studies show that when we do something kind for another person, our own happiness increases. One act of kindness can create a virtuous cycle that brings regular acts of love into your relationship. We're not just talking about THE act of love (although that may be the end result), we're talking about a soft, sensuous massage.
Start out with a Tender is the Night massage bar. This luxurious, heart-shaped bar is intended for one use (or two, if your partner is feeling generous). Crush the light, velvety bar between your hands and inhale the seductive scent of jasmine, ylang ylang and vanilla. The shea butter and almond oil melt in your hands, and onto the back and body of your loved one.
Now, the fun part.
Start at the top, shoulders and arms, and work your way down the back as you melt the butters onto the skin, hands gliding smoothly. Set the unused portion of the bar aside for them to use on you later, or go all the way and rub the entire bar all over their body from head to toe.

...Top Five Tips for a Stimulating Massage
Set the Mood
Don’t be afraid to light a candle or two, put on some 90’s power ballads (or whatever you find relaxing) and get comfortable.
Some Like it Hot
Choose a massage oil with warming ingredients, like our Hottie massage bar. Hottie is made with black pepper oil to stimulate blow flow, relieving sore muscles from aches and pains.
Bump and Grind
Need a little extra stimulation? Our Wiccy Magic Muscles massage bar contains a layer of whole aduki beans that act like little fingers, providing a deep massage for sore spots.
Smooth it Out
When you’re ready to massage, use the whole hand and make long, smooth movements with even pressure. Start at the head and work all the way down the body (yes, even the feet!)
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes…
Don’t neglect the areas of your body that hold the most tension, like your head, hands and feet. After all, they do most of your body’s work!
