Get lucky this St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is the least sexy day of the year, second only to Tax Day. It's a wonderful day, but corned beef, cabbage, soda bread, Guinness, and endless amounts of wool and tweed aren't enough to warm the heart.

Who says this day doesn't have potential? After all, a holiday is a holiday. It deserves a celebration! After some brainstorming, we've come up with a few ways to turn the 17th around and make it the sexiest day of March.

Switch to wine

Beer is synonymous with festivities, but it's also a depressant. All those heavy carbs and empty calories add up quickly and slow the body down significantly. If you're drinking this holiday season, treat yourself to a little wine. Red wine is not only gentler on the body and lighter on the stomach, but it's also a proven aphrodisiac, increasing blood flow and boosting sex drive. Plus, its fragrances are undeniably much more alluring.

A mint-flavored alternative

This time of year, you're probably tempted to head to McDonald's and grab a shamrock shake. We don't need to tell you that shakes are sexually unproductive, but we're here to tell you. Add a twist and experience a minty sensation with Excitemint.  Made with stimulating clove and peppermint, this boosting gel Guaranteed to sharpen your senses and make you shine like the gold at the end of the rainbow. Forget the cold smoothie and turn up the heat.

Sexy Irish music

Leave those cheerful (and deceptively sad) pub tunes at the bar. This year, liven things up with a collection of tender, soulful, and sensual music from some of Ireland's finest. From Enya to The Cranberries, this playlist is the tonal opposite of "Tim Finnegan's Wake." Listen below:

It's hard to make a saint's day sexy. But with these tips, we know you can make the most of it. Cheers, or, as the Irish say, Sláinte!
