It´s commonly said that ¨love is in the air¨ during the springtime, but the reality is that most people love to go on romantic dates no matter what time of year it is.
If you put a little thought into planning a sweet date, your partner will really appreciate all of the trouble you go to.
You don´t have to spend a lot of money to create a great and memorable evening, and you can save money while creating an intimate atmosphere by planning your evening at home.
It´s really important, however, to make sure you plan ahead and pay attention to the details because with improper planning, the amazing date you´d like to create could turn into a nightmare.
Accidents occur in the home at an incredibly high rate, and if you and your partner get caught up in the moment, you probably won´t be thinking much about your safety.
Accidents can really put a damper on the mood, so here are a few creative ways you can impress your date while still retaining a high level of home security.
Light some candles around your house, but never leave them unattended.
If your partner enjoys taking baths, try placing candles around your bathtub.
Be sure, however to keep your home security high by making sure the candles don´t get knocked over and that they aren´t placed near anything flammable.
You should also install smoke detectors in your house if you don´t own them already, or if you have old detectors installed, check their batteries regularly to make sure they are working properly.
It's also a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher handy in your house just in case a fire breaks out.
If you´re planning a last minute date and don´t have an extinguisher, you keep some baking soda handy so you can throw it on any fire that may occur.
If you prepare a nice bath for your partner, make sure the surface of your bathroom floor is not slippery.
Purchase a bathmat so you and your partner can step out of the tub onto something with a little traction.
A wet bathroom floor is a major home security risk, and every year, thousands of Americans slip and fall on wet bathroom floors and injure themselves.
A simple bathmat can cost you less than $10 and can also help add a little more style to your bathroom, which is great for a romantic evening.
Install a home alarm system to help monitor your house since you may be distracted.
If your focus is on your date, then you likely won´t be paying much attention to other things that may be happening in your home.
If a criminal were to try to break into your house while you were on your date, you might not notice their presence until they were already inside.
If you install a home alarm, however, you can turn it on while you are inside your house, and it will notify you if someone enters your house so you can react quickly.
