Step out in a stunning red outfit complete with accessories in keeping with the whole Valentine’s mood.
Make your Valentine’s Day go well by being your best on all levels. Gracious manners, the right words and lack of negative drama are just some of the ways that will work towards making it one of the most memorable days of the year.
Here are some things you can do to make it so.
1. Wait to be courted
Valentine’s Day is all about women receiving affection from the men in their lives, or from those who wish to enter their lives. This is a time when you should expect to be courted, pampered and reminded how much you are loved. It is very flattering to
receive all the attention.
2. Keep drama to a minimum
To make yourself as receptive as possible to romantic overtures on a Valentine’s date, keep your mood happy. This is not the time to bring up heavy-duty issues, as this will dampen the entire experience. Accept compliments graciously and be your best self.
Savour every moment. If something upsets you, try not to allow it to ruin the evening.
3. Look the part
Red is the official colour of Valentine’s Day. Look the part in order to feel the part. Make the effort to look lovely. Use a special fragrance and spend time in a spa feeling good about you. Step out in a stunning red outfit complete with accessories in keeping
with the whole Valentine’s mood.
4. Appreciate yourself
No matter how you plan to spend Valentine’s Day, remember to appreciate yourself. Do this by treating yourself to something that you really like, for example, a special meal, a piece of jewellery, a spa session or even a beautiful dress.
All this will help to make the day memorable. Being a weekend, it means that you have all the time to treat yourself.
