As the weather goes through constant changes, so does your body. With springtime and outdoor dates right around the corner, you won’t want to spend time with your significant other fighting through pain. The MELT Method helps to eliminate this discomfort, improve your performance, and decrease the stress that builds up from day to day activities. Research has shown that a balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue can help you leave your pain in the past. With the help of this method, you can go from planning around your pain to trying something new — maybe even an adventurous date night. Anyone up for go-karting?
Creator Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT is nationally recognized and has been in the fitness industry since 1988. She has taught in some of the top clubs around New York City and her video, Boot Camp Training, has sold over half a million copies and remains one of the best-selling fitness videos. Taking her knowledge, practices, and education, Hitzman developed the MELT Method to help people of all ages live a better and longer life. The Hand and Foot Treatment Kit is a self-treatment technique that uses different sized balls to stimulate the area and release the compression in joints that can cause chronic pain and inflammation.
MELTing also can be used to boost your immune system, ensuring that you don’t have to keep reaching for your tissues on the first date. It can save you from those runny noses and embarrassing moments, so you can enjoy your night without worrying if your coughing is going to scare them away. Likewise, while the winter months are winding down, people are flocking to the slopes to fit in their last-minute ski trips. If you’re worried about falling in front of that special someone, the MELT Method can improve your balance and help prevent embarrassing spills from happening.
Many people have pledged to be pain-free with the MELT Method, and now you can too. One lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will win a MELT Method Hand and Foot Treatment Kit to get rid of chronic pain; it’s as simple as using this kit for minutes a day. The kit includes: 6 MELT Treatment balls (2 of each size), 1 Bunion Reducer Band, a 60-minute DVD which features creator Sue Hitzmann, and an illustrated instruction guide.

Sometimes, socks get treated like the younger, less impressive sibling to lingerie in the undergarment family. We all have our share of boring, white or grey mismatched socks — perhaps with holes in the toes. It’s far too rare that we treat ourselves to a new pair. Months go by, and we continue to neglect our feet’s need to be accessorized, while our derrière gets all the attention. But socks can be just as fun and flirty as silky slips! With Foot Cardigan’s monthly subscription, you’ll be receiving creative, exciting socks throughout the year. Your socks will never be overshadowed by another undergarment again.
Foot Cardigan is a monthly sock subscription service that guarantees a new pair of unpredictably funky and unique socks every thirty days. That’s right: Each month, they deliver a pair of zany socks to your mailbox, and you won’t know what the design is until you open up the package.
What if you don’t like the socks you get, you ask? Well, the creators of Foot Cardigan say that this is simply impossible because “you will love them, wear them, and your life will be better because of them.” To see some designs they’ve sent to their subscribers, check out the #sockstagram feed on Instagram.
The folks at Foot Cardigan say that their socks are made out of “a heartfelt desire to improve the world one foot at a time,” along with 75 percent cotton, 20 percent polyester, and 5 percent spandex. Plus, they include the secret ingredients of “1.7 percent laughter, and the last twinkle of a distant dying star.”
Put an end to wearing those colorless socks and embellish your arches in Foot Cardigan’s outrageously fabulous accessories. It’ll be a fun new adventure for your previously neglected feet. And the ongoing anticipation to see which interesting pair you’ll get next will no doubt keep you on your toes. Your feet will be delightfully surprised all year round!
GIVEAWAY ALERT: To enter for a chance to win a one-year subscription to Foot Cardigan (valued at $121), go to our Facebook page and click “like.” Leave a comment under our giveaway post letting us know you want to win the contest.

Valentine’s Day is known for its wide array of beautiful bouquets. Whether it’s classic red roses or a more modern gift of orchids, flowers are the gift that every woman anticipates on this special day. That’s why it’s important to find a company who has your needs top of mind and believes in delivering the freshest, most unique arrangements. A company such as BloomNation provides their customers with an online marketplace where they can purchase hand-crafted floral pieces from some of the top florists in the United States.
Founded in 2011 by three friends who were sick of the big business middleman, BloomNation is now considered “The Etsy of Flowers.” What makes the company unique is that BloomNation florists send out “BloomSnaps” to each client -a snapshot of the bouquet before it is delivered–making sure there is total satisfaction with the final product. They also allow florists in their network to list their own designs and set prices based on their stock. This helps ensure that the flowers will always be fresh. After all, no one wants to open a box of wilted flowers for Valentine’s Day.

For many women, the start of the new year means a renewed hope in their love lives — which means they want to look and feel their best. If you’re seeking brighter and tighter skin for your next date night, the smart solution is BioElixia skin care products, which use science and a blend of natural ingredients to produce a unique skin treatment that really works. The formula is backed by 14 years of research that relies on key healing components, like multi-vitamins, anti-aging peptides, and moisturizing oils, that safely and effectively absorb into skin.
The BioElixia BodyShaper bundle includes everything you need to revitalize your body in the middle of a dry winter. First, the Cellulite Contour Crème is proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite by an average of 57 percent. The Exfoliating Body Polish uses micro-crystals to refine the skin, while the Radiance Body Cleanser cleanses and moisturizes with fruit enzymes and minerals. Next, the Firming Toning Body Lotion supports all-over skin tightness. Finally, don’t forget the Stretch Mark Diminishing Crème, which improves the visible appearance of stretch marks by an average of 71 percent.
All of these products work together to give your body a toned look and smooth feel that your partner will love. The TPM Dermal Delivery Technology allows the active ingredients such as sweet almond, aloe vera, vitamin E, ginseng, fruit acid, and more to penetrate further into the skin and increase absorption by five times. And it gets better: BioElixia is free of formaldehydes and other harmful chemicals as well as artificial colors and dyes.
Lucky for you, CupidsPulse.com will be giving away a bundle of BioElixia BodyShaper products — including all of the items mentioned above — to one lucky reader. After a few short weeks, you’ll have firmer, healthier skin and the confidence that comes with it.

It’s no secret that many pet owners want what’s best for their furry friends, and Eric Bittman was no different when he created Warren London. Eric and his wife Sara are the proud parents of two Boston Terriers, Maurice and Brittney. When Maurice was six months old, he developed a number of skin allergies. Unfortunately, the recommended shampoo only left his skin drier and itchier, which is why Eric decided to develop his own line of grooming products.
Warren London’s main goal is to make innovative luxury spa and grooming products that get great results. The company uses only natural ingredients to ensure that all items are top quality; they’re even human tested on top of being dog tested. Each product is made with a simple belief in mind: “Every dog deserves a spa day!”
From shampoos and conditioners to paw revitalizers and facial cleansers, Warren London sells a wide range of products that are sure to keep your dog looking (and smelling) his best. We all know that a clean dog makes a happy partner; after all, nobody wants to come home from a week-long business trip and be greeted by a smelly pooch who leaves muddy paw prints on their dry clean-only suit.
Plus, for a bit of added fun, the company also has quick-drying, non-toxic, water-based Pawdicure Polish Pens, available in 13 colors and perfect for dog nail art.
My husband and I used the Coconut 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner on our Lab mix, Finn. Just a puppy, he loves to play and run around outside, which means he gets dirty quickly; even so, three days after his bath, he still smelled like coconuts. His coat was particularly shiny and seemed more moisturized despite the Colorado winter air.
We also used the Instant Ear Cleaner on Finn’s sensitive ears. He happily obliged while we massaged the solution into his ear canals, and his floppy ears stayed much cleaner than usual.
Lucky for you, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will win a Warren London gift bundle that includes: Lavender Shampoo, Hydrating Butter, Deep Cleaning Paw Fizz Tablets, Paw Sani-Scrub, Cucumber Melon Foaming Facial, “Wet Kiss” Dog Cologne, Grapeseed Oil, Instant Ear Cleaner, three Polish Pens, Nail File, and Buffer Block. Grooming your dog should be easy, effective, and, most importantly, fun — and thanks to Warren London products, it can be!

We’ll contact the winner via Facebook when the contest is over, and they will have three days to respond back with their contact information.

No dinner date is complete without the perfect bottle of wine. A dry white wine naturally complements a piece of grilled salmon and some summer vegetables, while a robust red wine pairs perfectly with a medium-rare filet and baked potato. If you’re wondering what type of wine to buy for your next dinner date, why not reach for a bottle of Jam Jar Wine?
The company was born in 2009 out of the realization that there aren’t a lot of options available to consumers seeking quality sweet wines. Many store-bought wines advertise a clean sugary taste, but in reality, they don’t taste so good. That’s not the case with Jam Jar Wines! These semiâ€sweet wines are made from grapes grown in the Western Cape of South Africa, which has a climate ideal for producing wines that offer a balance of sweetness and acidity.
Jam Jar Wines come in two varieties, and both are sure to make any date an all-night affair. The Sweet Shiraz is crafted in a lighter style than the typical Shiraz. With a fruity taste mixed with dark chocolate undertones, it’s sure to leave you and your date wanting more. It’s a versatile wine, so it goes great with anything from cheeseburgers to banana pudding.
The Sweet White is a 100 percent Moscato wine. This charming, easy-to-drink wine offers juicy flavors of peach, apricot, lychee, and orange blossom. A lively jolt of acidity keeps it fresh and fun. Fancy enough for a special occasion toast yet sweet-natured enough to enjoy every day, this beverage will certainly make your date night memorable.
Jam Jar Wine’s evocative packaging has a nostalgic, “retro” feel, topped with a screw cap and inspired by classic jam jar lids. With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to get your hands on a bottle (or two) of Jam Jar Wine. They’re available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $11.99.
To make drinking your wine even more enjoyable, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will win a Jam Jar Wines gift bag (sorry no wine can be included legally in this giveaway). However, the gift bag does include an insulated picnic wine tote (perfect for those romantic dates at the park!), a set of coasters, an apron, and some holiday chocolates.

We will contact the winner via Facebook when the contest is over, and they will have three days to respond back with their contact information. The deadline to enter is 5pm EST on Monday, December 30th. Good luck!

From the time when European royals drank chocolate to when chocolatiers formed the delicious candy into bars and truffles, chocolate has always been a luxury treat. Eating chocolate is a sensation, tantalizing taste buds with silky textures and full cocoa flavors. Really delicious chocolate can even excite strong feelings of happiness and sometimes love. zChocolat knows quality matters most in creating a riveting chocolate experience. When giving that special someone a box of chocolates this holiday season, zChocolat’s line of gourmet chocolates raises the spatula and goes beyond the bon-bon wrapper.
zChocolat is created in France by World Champion Chocolatier Pascal Caffet and ships worldwide. Each mini masterpiece is made using high-grade, single-origin chocolate from Venezuela, the Ivory Coast, and Bolivia. The devilishly rich ganache is prepared with top-shelf quality butter and cream from Normandy, and even the nuts are ensured to be nothing but the best, hailing from Spain and Italy. These worldly ingredients combine in 26 different ways to please even the most particular chocolate connoisseur.
Luxury doesn’t stop at the wrapper with these chocolate dreams. zChocolat nestles their exquisite creations inside of a gorgeous box for a truly memorable treat. Impress your honey this Christmas by choosing from an elegant handcrafted mahogany box or a holiday-special crimson box. To further customize this stocking-stuffer, you can include a personal photo, logo, or card inside and even have the zChocolate box engraved. Plus, you can hand-select the chocolates to fulfill their coconut cream and chocolate toffee fantasies!
We at CupidsPulse.com had the privilege of indulging in these delectable chocolates, and all we can say is wow! zChocolat more than delivers on its promise of offering superb chocolates. Each piece is creamy and well-balanced, and all of the unique flavor notes from almond to red pepper can be tasted in each bundle of chocolate sublimity. All of the girls in the office agreed that if our man got us zChocolat as a gift, we’d be ecstatic. And now, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will get to enjoy a box of decadence as well!

‘Tis the season! It’s time to ring in the holidays with a beautiful floral arrangement from Teleflora. But that’s not all: If you and your beau happen to be huge Duck Dynasty fans (like we are at CupidsPulse.com)), Teleflora is partnering with the Robertson family to make sure your Christmas is extra special this year. With every purchase of either the Holiday Flair Centerpiece, the Jeweled Ornament, or the Send a Hug Cuddle Bears Bouquet, you get access to free downloads from the new album Duck the Halls – A Robertson Family Christmas. So you can really get into the holiday spirit with fabulous florals and some “duck-tastic” Christmas carol classics!
“Having fresh, festive flowers in our home and on our dinner table during the holidays really helps brings the season to life,” said Willie and Korie Robertson, two of the stars of Duck Dynasty. They picked out the Holiday Flair Centerpiece, a hand-blown glass bowl filled with red roses, as their favorite Christmas arrangement. Jase and Missy Robertson prefer the Jeweled Ornament Bouquet, which features fresh roses as well as some beautifully decorated ornaments, while Jep and Jessica Robertson like the Cuddle Bears Bouquet, a sweet polar bear vase filled with red and white florals.
Another one of Teleflora’s Christmas arrangements is the lovely Thomas Kinkade’s Starry Night, which is a hand-crafted and hand-painted centerpiece. This stunning centerpiece consists of a frosted chapel with a small family arriving on a horse-drawn sleigh surrounded by vivid red roses, pinecones, and red berries. We were lucky enough to receive this beautiful arrangement at the CupidsPulse.com office, and we have no doubt that the breathtaking display will catch your family’s attention when you all sit down for Christmas dinner.
Lucky for you, CupidsPulse.com is giving three readers Teleflora’s beautiful Jeweled Ornament Bouquet. Don’t miss out on this chance to win your very own centerpiece, and be sure to “Duck the Halls” with the Robertson family’s new Christmas album. Merry Quackmas!
