Romantic Baths for Two
Warm up on a chilly night with your lover in an extravagant array of bubbles. A languishing dip in a steamy tub for two is enough to inspire romance for even the stodgiest of lovers. Add in LYC’s romantic flair and you’re sure to enjoy a romantic moment for two that’s truly unique and intimate. Below we’ve included some of our reader’s best ideas for sharing the ultimate romantic bath!

More Tips to Consider:

Give each other a complete hair washing, including combing out their hair during the conditioning process.

Go shopping together and pick out a few fun bath products in a scent you both love.

Create a “bath basket” that you keep nearby so you can indulge in some impromptu romance.

Take care of each others’ skin and try new exfoliants or other skin improving products.

Try a fun, sensual bath game.

Put your towels in the dryer for a few minutes for a warm and toasty after-bath treat.

Don’t let the romance stop after the bath. Give each other a light, lotion-laden massage.

From Your Kiss I Knew
by Hope

From Your Kiss I Knew 

I watched the river flowing
This place I still recall 
We met here so often
Sitting beside the waterfall

As I sat awhile reminiscing
Times we shared here
As the water cascades 
Your voice seems so clear 

I could feel my heart racing
The anticipation grew 
Almost at the waterfall 
I notice you come into view 

You had also remembered
As your eyes say it all
Same path we chose
By the enchanted waterfall

As your hands reached out 
I surrendered willingly 
From your kiss I knew 
Love truly was meant to be

British pop star Leona Lewis, 23, says she got the motherhood itch after visiting an orphanage in South Africa earlier this year.

 

       “I wanted to take home all the kids. They were so cute. All of them had been orphaned because of HIV and it was heart-rending,” the “Bleeding Love” singer told Britain’s Daily Mirror. “There are so many who need help – both here and abroad – you just don’t know where to start.”       

       Lewis, the winner of Britain’s “X Factor” singing competition, says her upbringing would make her an ideal mom for troubled children.       

       “My mum was a social worker and my dad was a youth offender officer, so I know that there are a lot of kids out there that need to be fostered and adopted,” she says. “I definitely want to adopt.”

 

HOSPITAL SNOOPS ON INJURED NFL PLAYER November 4, 2008

Twenty hospital workers in Florida were fired this week for violating the privacy of Richard Collier, the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman who was shot multiple times on Sept. 2.

 

       The employees, who include nurses, admissions workers and patient relations staff at Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center, were accused of breaking federal privacy rules by accessing Collier’s medical records and passing them around to co-workers.      

       Channel 4 news in Jacksonville reports that the employees were fired for violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which is designed to protect patients’ medical records.      

       The hospital released this statement: “Any allegation of a breach in patient confidentiality is taken very seriously. All allegations are investigated thoroughly. If it has been determined that a violation has occurred, disciplinary action up to and including termination can be used. In order to maintain patient confidentiality we do not comment on any specific cases.”      

       Collier was rushed to Shands after he was shot 14 times. He spent two weeks in the trauma center and left the hospital paralyzed from the waist down.

 

BERNICE KING TO CONTINUE ORGANIZING MOM’S PAPERS November 4, 2008

 

A judge has ordered Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter to continue documenting her mother’s personal papers, which are at the center of a family dispute among the civil rights icon’s surviving children.      

       Bernice King and brother Martin Luther King III again faced off in court Friday against their brother, Dexter King, The Associated Press reports.      

       Dexter, CEO of King Inc., wants a judge to order Bernice, the administrator of her mother’s estate, to turn over personal papers, including intimate letters between Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King Jr.       

       The documents were part of a $1.4 million book deal with Penguin Group for a memoir about the civil rights matriarch, but that deal fell though earlier this month after the family missed a deadline from the New York-based publisher to turn the documents over. It is unclear now whether the documents can or will be used for any future such deals.      

       Bernice and Martin Luther King III both argue that the book goes against their mother’s wishes.      

       The siblings and their attorneys sat down for more than four hours Friday after cooperation between them had stalled on a previous court order for Bernice King to begin producing her mother’s personal items.      

       The issue of whether Coretta Scott King’s papers are the property of her husband’s estate, which Dexter King controls, remains undecided for now, but Frankel said he was pleased with Friday’s progress and that the process of cataloguing hundreds of boxes of Coretta Scott King’s property — being managed by a court-appointed “special master” — will resume as early as this week. The cataloguing is necessary before a judge can decide whether the documents should be turned over.

Eve, Wyclef Jean and Mario will perform in Ghana next month at “The Zain 026 Experience,” a concert to introduce local citizens to the “Zain 026” code from Zain Ghana, an African telecom service provider.

 

       The artists will take the stage at Ohene Djan Sports Stadium in Accra before an expected crowd of more than 30,000 people.

 

       Also on the bill are 2Face Idibia of Nigeria and three other local top artists, Obrafuor, Kwaw Kese, and Tinny.

 

      At a press launch of the event in Accra on Thursday, Wyclef Jean told journalists via telephone that he hopes to one day record a collaboration with a Ghanaian artist.

 

      Zain Ghana marketing director Charles Mayerm said the company “is hitting the country in a big way through the assembling of one of the best international network technologies to give Ghanaians the best.”

 

SAMUEL L. JACKSON REUNITES WITH TARANTINO November 4, 2008

Samuel L. Jackson will reteam with his “Pulp Fiction” and “Jackie Brown” director Quentin Tarantino for the forthcoming WWII film “Inglorious Basterds” (Yes, ‘Basterds’ with an ‘e’), according to film blog The Playlist.

 

       The movie is a remake of the 1977 Italian movie about a group of American soldiers who are attacked by Germans while being escorted to military prison. The story follows five of the prisoners who managed to escape.       

       Jackson will reportedly serve as a narrator for the updated version, which is due in theaters next year. The blog site reports of Jackson being “present only in a few spots (beginning page 24), but [he] mostly pops up at random times in the script to add some context and background info.”      

      Jackson’s latest film is “Soul Men,” starring opposite the late Bernie Mac. The two play estranged members of a one-time R&B group that reunites to honor another bandmate who recently died.

 

EXCERPTS FROM OBAMA/MCCAIN ‘MNF’ INTERVIEWS November 4, 2008

ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” ran taped interviews with presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain during halftime of last night’s matchup between the Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh Steelers.      

       Below are some highlights from the separate conversations with ESPN’s Chris Berman:

 

On one thing you would change in sports:

• Obama: “I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football. I’m fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. Get eight teams – the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a National Champion.”

• McCain: “I’d take significant action to prevent the spread and use of performance-enhancing substances. I think it’s a game we’re going to be in for a long time. What I mean by that is there is somebody in a laboratory right now trying to develop some type of substance that can’t be detected and we’ve got to stay ahead of it. It’s not good for the athletes. It’s not good for the sports. It’s very bad for those who don’t do it and I think it can attack the very integrity of all sports going all the way down to high school.”

 

On what you learned about yourself over the campaign:

• Obama: “What I learned about that I think was positive was that I don’t get too high when things are going well and I don’t get too low when things are going tough. I think that has helped me and the organization stay steady.”

 

On the best piece of advice from the sports world:

• McCain: “I have to go all the way back to high school. I had a football coach who was a football star himself…The most important lesson he taught me was you’ve always got to do the honorable thing, even when nobody’s looking because maybe nobody will know, but you’ll know.”
