chic valentines

So guys – it is Valentine’s Day. And what does ‘Love’ mean to you? Well – here’s what ‘Love’ means to me! Love means finding someone that brings out the best in you and that makes you feel the best about yourself overall! Someone that challenges you to be better – someone who you are completely comfortable with and who knows you inside and out. Someone who is truly your partner and best friend – one that you can share all your experiences with!

Let’s talk about February 14th for a minute? What is this special day really all about and why is everyone so excited about it?

It is the day when people show their affection for another person or people (plural) by sending out cards, flowers and/or chocolates – attached with messages of love and appreciation.

Who is St Valentine? The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are several stories that tell us a little bit about who he really was. The popular belief about St. Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD. Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 145 million Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year – more cards are sent during the Holidays apparently – and results show that women account for approximately 85 percent of all Valentines related purchases. Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14 – originating as a Western Christian feast day – honouring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

first love

The first love is always a special one. There is something so distinct about feeling in love with someone for the first time. It’s having the wave of feelings and emotions hit you like a big heavyweight punch to the jaw. It’s the exhilaration and thrill of being in a racecar going 200 miles an hour. It’s the excitement of having new adventures to face everyday with someone you’re constantly learning more and more things about – as time goes by. It’s literally like being in a movie – except everything is better because it’s all real. And that’s the scary and exciting part of it all. It’s all real. All words, actions, and thoughts have consequences. And in this process of self-discovery, we grow to learn a lot about who we are as individuals and as a couple as well. And I guess that’s why it hurts so much to lose a loved one; but it hurts all the more when you lose your first love. There is just so much felt and experienced with one’s first love. There is so much meaning, power, and emotion that makes up that whole first experience. And now to end things off on a positive note – here some films that you can enjoy with your partner:
