Happy Valentine’s day my sweets!

What a beautiful day this is – a day to celebrate love – love for yourself, your family, your pets, your significant other.

Scratch beneath the surface of the commercialization, and you’ll see that this can be a beautiful day indeed…a day to pamper yourself and your loved ones just a wee bit more than you do usually.

Here are some ideas for you.

For yourself:

• Have a bubble bath with candles, wine, some music, a book
• Indulge in your favorite foods – forget about health food for a day – indulge in some yummy cakes or lasagna instead
• Dim the lights and meditate. Try some of the meditation music and guided meditation clips on my blog
• Meet up with your girlfriends for  a day out in the town
• Spend the day doing something you love – photography, art, cooking…

For your significant other:

• Try doing something extra special that they wouldn’t expect – for me, it would be cooking up a meal!
• Rekindle the romance – light some candles, put on some soft music, curl up together and watch a movie…or talk…or…
• Go hiking together
• Leave a love note on the steamed up bathroom mirror
