Put the feel good factor back into your relationship with these five fabulous F words that can be as naughty as you like!

1. Flowers: Fresh flowers are not only beautiful to look at, many of them have marvelous scents. Grow some of your favourite blooms in the garden or in a windowbox. If fresh flowers are impossible or too expensive to get hold of, try burning essential oils in a purpose made aromatherapy burner. This is normally ceramic and holds a small night light in the bottom.

Put a few drops of your favourite flower oil in the top with some water and light the candle. The scent will delicately fill your room creating an ambience of your choosing.

2. Food: Rather than a quick fix chocolate buzz, try this for a super sensuous dessert: Buy a few exotic fuits from your local market and make a fresh fruit salad. Mix in a few nuts and a tablespoon of kirsch (if liked) and serve with your favourite ice cream. Experiment with tastes. Maybe fresh pineapple and coffee ice cream will be just your cup of tea. NB: Hide all ingredients until the kids are safely tucked up in bed!

3. Fun: Arrange some time together to have fun. Fun, luckily, isn't defined in the dictionary as 'going out clubbing'. If your idea of fun is an inter-galactic championship on the latest computer game, so be it. Or maybe you both enjoy the reptile house at the local zoo? Organize a sitter and go ssspeak to the snakes.

4. Frolic: Even if you've been together since 1485, find a moment to put the fizz back in the fizzical! Experiment and enjoy. It may just be the start of a very enjoyable habit. Far more interesting than the treadmill, physical fun will burn up those stubborn calories and tone up the dodgy bits.

5. Freedom: Create the fantasy of freedom even if you can't run away to a desert island. Take long walks in the woods or on the beach. Wrap up warm and get out in the winter months too. Hug a tree and feel the awesome strength of nature. Watch the waves break against the cliffs and let your thoughts wander where they will.

Inject at least one, if not all of these five fabulous F words into your life every day and keep that feel good factor in top gear.
