Look Good Naked
Valentine's Day is a time for lovers to show how much they care and enjoy some romantic alone time together but it's also a great chance for a raunchy night in.
For some of us the prospect of a night of full on, uninterupted loving with nowhere to hide sounds like a complete nightmare and the idea of our partners seeing us fully naked without numerous vodkas to numb the embarrassment really makes us panic- but it needn't be so scary.
Female First look at how to feel confident in your own skin and comfortable enough to share your gorgeous body with your lover- lumps, bumps and all.
We've heard it all before but- in order to be comfortable around other people you need to be comfortable with yourself. So many women hide their body away from themselves and are ashamed to look in the mirror. If you can't look at your body yourself you're never going to want a man to look at it.
Check out this video for the ultimate guide to feeling confident without your clothes on....
Being comfortable in your own body is all about getting to know it and appreciating your good parts and forgetting about those parts you don't like. So when your alone try standing in front of the mirror and pointing out the bits of your body you actually like. Concentrate on your nice perky boobs, your slim shoulders or your thin waist and forget about those thunder thighs or saggy belly.
Spending a little time with just you and your body is important if you want to becomethe best of friends. Treat yourself to a nice relaxing bath or spend time rubbing some nice smelling moisturiser all over your body every few days.
It's also important to dress your body up once in a while if you want to feel confident. Wearing faded granny pants and an off-white bra will make you feel totally unsexy no matter what your body looks like.
Chose flattering underwear that makes you feel sexy. If you don't like the cellulite on you bum then go for lacy french knickers and if your saggy belly is what you hate then opt for a basque to keep it in. It's all about what you feel comfortable in.
Finally, remember to relax and enjoy being naked. Don't forget your partner has seen it all before and is under no illusions that you have the perfect toned Page 3 girl body- but he loves you the way you are.
