Add some champagne and rose petals.

My tip for being romantic when it’s 98 degrees out is stay home in the AC in bed talking, cuddling, selfcare etc. until sunset. Then hit the town if you make it out of bed.

Move slowly with a swish, a little swagger, and a sensuous sway. No rushing… everything I touch, every gesture, each interaction, is soft and seductive.
98 degrees of decreased, yet focused, energy.

I would just be very conscious of shade. Actual shade. No need to physically be in the sun on bright days. It’s totally fine to observe summer festivities from afar.

Whether you’re romancing yourself with some self-love, or are looking for something special with a special someone, plan a mini-staycation. I myself love biking, and love the water, so I recommend purchasing an inflatable boat, picking up a plethora of foods for you and yours to enjoy, packing everything up and biking on a trail leading to a local river. Don’t forget to bring tons of drinking water and sunscreen (safety first!) and get ready for a beautiful day in nature by the water.
