Ten Super Foods to Boost Your Libido

...and who doesn't want that?

(NaturalNews) Enjoying an active sex life is essential to our wellbeing, and the foods we eat play a large role in ensuring we feel in the mood. Some of the foods that help turn us on include:

Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are one of the few foods that contain zinc, which is vital for testosterone production in men. A deficiency can make a woman completely lose her sex drive. These yummy seeds are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital to overall sexual wellbeing.

Goji Berries
In Asia, goji berries are known as a strong sexual tonic. They increase testosterone levels, which stimulates libido in both men and women. Furthermore, they improve overall stamina, mood and wellbeing, all of which are vital for an optimum sex life.

Maca
This is one of the new superfoods out that can improve performance and alleviate impotency. It increases sperm count and testosterone levels in men. It makes people desire sex more frequently, especially women.

Bananas
Give a boost to male libido. They contain an enzyme called Bromelain which is important for sexual health. They are also a good source of B vitamins which increase the body's energy levels and the sex hormones.

A Creative Alternative to a Destination Wedding

Puerto Rico is such a wonderful choice for your destination wedding because of the endless possibilities available for your site, for example - a ceremony on a white sand beach, reception at a trendy boutique hotel or a quaint bed & breakfast, etc. But have you ever thought of exchanging your wedding vows on a sailboat while on the Caribbean Sea? Picture this, you climb aboard a beautiful sailboat with your family and friends and are handed a signature cocktail. Once all of your guests arrive you begin sailing around Fajardo Harbor. Your wedding ceremony begins and then you and your guests can enjoy a wonderful buffet dinner and cocktails. The sun begins to set and your dance party begins under a starry night sky. WOW!

I have experienced this company's professional service and detail to attention first hand. We sailed to a little island off of PR called Icacos and I must say it was a magical experience. The sailboat is beautiful, spacious and is kept meticulously. The Caribbean Sea was crystal clear and a gorgeous turqouois color. The sunset seemed out of a romantic scene in a movie and the breeze was simply delightful. The food served (cold appetizers, cold cuts, fresh bread, cold pastas. crackers & cheese, fresh fruits) was fresh and delicious. What more can I say... it seems like a wonderful way to start your life together as husband and wife - romantic, unique, memorable and so very special!

So, should I call the Captain and reserve your "Sunset Wedding Sail" today?

A Signature Drink

Let me first start by explaining what it is for those new to wedding planning. A signature drink is a special drink that you designate as your personal pick for your wedding...your signature.

I suggest to my clients that they should pick their favorite drink and put a spin on it by changing the color and name. For example, Aixa's favorite drink is a Cosmopolitan. Her wedding colors are shades of blue. So for her signature drink, we added a bit of Hypnotiq to a standard cosmo, added a blue sugar swizzle stick and then re-named the drink "Married Aixa's Cosmo" and it sat next to "David's Tied the Knot".

The great thing about a signature drink is that they alleviate that rush to the bar after the ceremony. Because let's face it, that 5-10 minute wait for the 1st drink at the bar seems like an hour and your uncle Jorge wouldn't dare get out of that line to catch the guy with the tray of spring rolls that just look so yummy. And when your hungry... oh my gosh that's the worst feeling!

So if you have a signature drink station, or have the drink passed right at the entrance of the cocktail reception, you'll immediately cut down the line at the bar. And your old uncle can catch the servers and get all the tostones, coconut shrimp & empanadas he wants.

Fun tip- have 2 or 3 signature drinks and have a signature drink bar with the drinks poured and ready to be grabbed. Choose drinks that are different colors and are served in different sized glasses. Make sure that you place a little tabletop menu on the display so everyone knows just how special the drinks are.

Tropical Wedding Favor Ideas

Puerto Rico is famous not only as a dream vacation, but also as a destination for weddings. This is because the setting is exceptionally romantic, the weather simply beautiful and the panorama stunning. Besides, Puerto Rico wedding favors and gifts are very attractive.

Puerto Rico is one of the most romantic spots on earth – especially for a wedding. This is a destination that would delight your guests as well as side by side with your wedding they would enjoy the extremely picturesque and sun-kissed beaches of the islands (Culebra & Vieques). The only thing you should keep in mind is the planning. Part of your Puerto Rico wedding theme could be Puerto Rican favors and decorative supplies. Since this involves special travel plans and accommodation arrangements, the booking should be done well in advance lest you encounter last minute problems which could ruin the wedding schedule.

The guests should be informed about what they would need on the island in terms of clothes (for the wedding ceremony and the reception that follows), the exact program of the wedding, how long they would be hosted on the island and what are the arrangements made for their return. To make it more fun, you could add a half-day (or full day) guided tour around the island(s) and/or put them in contact with someone who could suggest some activities before and after the wedding celebrations.

The Perfect Informal Wedding Setting – The Beach
For those who love informal celebrations, this is the best there could be. The beach weddings are extremely charming and entertaining both for the newly wedded couple as well as the guests. Puerto Rican wedding favors and gifts are exceptionally beautiful and can be arranged in whatever number by me your local wedding planner. There is plenty of choice from sea shell ornaments to specially designed paperweight favors to coconut bowls and jewelry and even photobooks made of papaya or banana leaves.

The local handicrafts are exquisite, comfortably prices and very appropriate to Puerto Rico – it would seem that each piece is actually a piece of the island. If you put in a little extra effort have them personalized for each of your guests, Puerto Rican wedding favors could be very impressive.

The destination itself is a gift to your guests and if Puerto Rican favors and gifts are chosen well, your wedding would be remembered for a long time to come by everybody whom you invited.

New Marriage License Guidelines

I've just received a copy of the new marriage license guidelines which were released in March, 2008. Puerto Rican law has changed and now you have to get a Gonorrhea and Chlamydia test in addition to the Syphilis test that was already required. Isn’t this such a romantic way to start out a destination wedding blog entry? The new tests take 5 days to complete and you have to add a day on each end just in case. So now you have four tests results required in order to get a Puerto Rico marriage license, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis and the VDRL test.

So what does this mean to you as a destination wedding couple inquiring about getting married in Puerto Rico? You should call your doctor’s office NOW and tell them what tests you need and your wedding date and that you need the tests done within 14 calendar days of your wedding date and schedule the appointments for you and your fiance accordingly. Remember - no medical paperwork — no marriage license? COMPRENDES!

Final thought, make sure you schedule all tests within the 10-14 day timeframe prior to the wedding date so that no unwanted delays occur! I want your destination wedding day to go as smooth as possible! :)
