Valentine’s article in HPPPA magazine
I am a regular contributor to the Home Pleasure Party Plan Association’s magazine for their members. Thought I’d share this month’s article with you all. Note this is written for people who are party plan people, but the heart of the message is for everyone.
Valentine’s Day is all about the love
By Dawn Tulman
There are two ways to look at Valentine’s Day. One is as a special day set aside to acknowledge your love to your “Valentine.” The other is as a day to do what you should be doing all year long.
I used to not celebrate Valentine’s Day. I always made it a point to be romantic on a regular basis, to do sweet things for my beau, to be adventurous in the boudoir. Then I had three kids and sometimes… I don’t even remember to shower, much less invite him in with me! Now Valentine’s Day is having more meaning to me, is becoming more special because I know it will be OUR day. Yes, it’s ideal to have a day without your children on a regular basis but it’s not always possible, so I know I can count on this one day and plan for extras along the way.
I got an email from a customer who wrote to tell me that she’s using her ToiBocks to spice up her love life. When she first got it she hid some fuzzy handcuffs, a blind fold, a massage candle and a feather inside and handed the box to her mate. Once he figured out how to get inside (she had to help him) he used those items with her. She made little game out of it. The ToiBocks on her nightstand holds her favorite, regularly used toys and the one on his is their “game” box. They take turns putting different things inside and then he “unpacks” it like a little love kit for their intimate time together. Consider doing this for your customers. Making a little “list” of things that go well together for a romantic, intimate evening.
To me, intimate time is as important as privacy. What have you done lately for your mate? Maybe in your business you could make up a little card with some “love tips” to hand out at your parties. You are probably exposed to a great many ideas in your line of work and you can share those to enhance the experiences of those you’re selling to. Call it your “Top Ten Ideas for a Romantic Interlude” or something enticing. List out a few scenarios, print it on pink paper and see how many relationships you enhance with your ideas.
Encourage your customers to learn how to make more time for intimacy. For parents with children at home, suggest starting an “evening out” exchange with someone who has children their age. Every other week one set takes the others children and then you switch. Use that time alone to really spend some quality time with your partner, not cleaning the house! For customers who have no children talk about the “why” intimacy is so important. Women are all about the advice, considering copying some articles on intimacy and having them on the table for your customers to read during down times in your presentation. Encourage the women in the room to share how they make time for intimacy.
Make it a point to stand out from other people who do what you do. Develop your brand as someone who cares more about the customer than how much they purchase and the purchases will increase before you know it!

ToiBocks is a jewelry box with a hidden lock mechanism that enables you to keep your intimate items on the nightstand for easy access while keeping out sticky fingers and prying eyes. The idea for ToiBocks was inspired when Dawn’s oldest daughter “discovered” one of her novelties in the nightstand and she could not find a product that met her need to keep her toys handy and secure right out in the open.

ToiBocks on Playboy TV’s Foursomes
If you’re a subscriber to Playboy TV check out this seasons series Foursomes.
Originally they were going to use ToiBocks as a game by hiding something in the bottom and once the contestants figured out how to get into the box they would use that item on the person whose name was on a paper in the tray… but I wouldn’t let them reveal how the lock mechanism worked on camera so they opted just to leave them in the background and let the contestants play with them on their own time…

From The Secret Daily Teachings
Criticism can be very subtle in the way it creeps into our thoughts. Here are some examples of criticism to help you become aware of its subtlety, so you can eliminate it from your thoughts:
The weather is awful today.
The traffic is terrible.
The service is really bad.
Oh no, look at the line.
He/She is always late.
How long do we have to wait for our order?
That motorist is a lunatic.
It’s so hot in here.
I’ve been on hold for so long!
These are subtle things, but the law of attraction is listening to them all. You have the ability to appreciate something in every single circumstance. There is always something to be grateful for.
