How to Make Your Bedroom Healthier and Sexier
So often we talk about removing things from our bedrooms to make them more serene, minimal, sleep-inducing. We are all for that. But there are items we can add to the bedroom that will enhance our experiences there—of intimacy and connection, of relaxation and sleep. The best bedroom is one that works hard for us so we can concentrate on putting mind, body, and spirit toward (some of) the best things in life: sleep and sex and health.
