Did Valentines Day disappoint you last year? Dont let it happen this time. Does he thinks V- day is no different from any other day? No problem, well take the bull by the horns and make sure this Valentines is indeed special.Popular wisdom says its the boys who do the wooing. Lets break this rule. Valentine is all about love, so it cant be just the boys prerogative to take the first step? Heres a 10-point programme guaranteed to fetch favourable results.
1. Start a 15-minutes-for-yourself plan to a prettier, lovelier you. Begin with a beauty routine which includes the essential cleanse, moisturise and massage sets. Do it for the whole body. A simple all- in- one trick is a homely gram- flour mixed in a generous dollop of massage oil. Just 10 days of it should guarantee that youll be glowing like beaten gold, even without sparklers.
2. No beauty routine works if youre carrying toxins. Detoxicate yourself with warm fresh lime and honey first thing in the morning, until D-day. The good news is that it is thinning too! A few minutes of pranayama or just deep breathing for a few minutes every morning can bring out roses in your cheeks too.
3. Invest a little time in exercising regularly. Feeling good about yourself is the first step to feeling good in general. And even a week can do wonders, not just for your body but your general well-being. Foxed about what regime to adopt? What stops you from just jogging or walking? Boring? Put on your favourite music CD and dance away the bulges and the blues.
4. Initiate genteel inquiries about what he needs, or if you know him well, ask yourself what hell love having. Do a gift survey with enough time in hand so you dont end up mumbling a sheepish “ er… its the thought that counts”.
5. Start dropping hints about what youre dying for so he has ample time to locate it and you dont have to sigh a fake “ Oh, how thoughtful of you!” over the hand- blender he thought to be the perfect gift.
6. Check out your wardrobe and see if youre wellequipped. Nothing can be as depressing as party tonight but nothing to wear. Splurge on a dress, a heady new fragrance, a bauble.
7. If youve always gone out on Valentines, celebrate this one at home or viceversa. Plan accordingly — if its to be at home, brighten it up with little deft touches. Throw in a few new things — linens, bric-a-brac. Cuddlies can make even a hovel look Valentineish. If it is to be outside, find out about a new place to go to.
8. Have you looked at yourself through his eyes? Are you the same person he was attracted to? Time changes everyone and if they arent for the better, what better time to introspect and alter?
9. Unearth the beautiful china youve been holding for a special occasion. Valentines Eve is special. Lead it up to an unforgettable Valentines Day. Go all out with flowers, lipsmacking food, candles, the works. If he has any conscience hell make the next day more special. Remember love is give and take. Give first with an open heart and take our word for it, good things will follow.
10. Beat the sun and let him open his eyes to a blood red bouquet! If hes done it for you till now, all the more reason why you could do it for him this once. If he hasnt, teach by example.
Pssst… experience says throwing in a nice hot cuppa and perhaps a hot breakfast will make his day and yours.
