A Valentine?s day gift is impor tant, ver y romantic, but getting the right type of Valentine?sday gift is even better The one which is per fect, and ever ything you have dreamed about for the past year Maybe less is more dur ing the Coronavir us epidemic this Valentine's Day

A perfect trip to Paris a pied, or Venice on a gondola years ago, could still be picturesque in your memory, and may be something you want again Whether it was visiting a beautiful city like this on a special day like Valentine?s Day, or how special the day itself was, the atmosphere, the weather, the special treatment and yes, some great Valentine?s Day cards and presents A cuddly toy too is the most selfless display of love sometimes, so simple and so cute, where squeezing the little teddy bear with love can be an altruistic display of affection This is how many people feel when they are in love ? to hope that others find love and affection too, as much as the person in love feels themselves It can mean that they want people to be as happy as they are. And what may seem likea cheap Valentine?sDay gift may be a token of affection from one partner to another and also the rest of the world too It sure feels like that when you are in love, that you feel kinder and more affectionate to not just your partner but also to others and animals too So if you want a cuddly toy and a card, don? t be embarrassed, it may just be perfect, and better than anything money could buy If money isn? t an issue then this could be a repeat affair, and something that is not out of the question at all, in fact for a special day like Valentine?s Day it is totally possible For many it is not an extravagance but an important part of any relationship or marriage, as important as your engagement or even wedding day ? whatever you feel it will most definitely be an important note in nearly everyone?s diary, so why not ask for the world?

If asking for the world and not getting a reply or of course not being able to just get it (- you know the world), then try to at least stretch your imagination and dream up a perfect Valentine?s Day or Valentine?s Day present yourself, and ask for a surprise along those lines It could be to ask for a Cinderella themed Valentine?s Day ? a romantic and elegant affair, or even better a trashy Valentine?s Day designed by the two ugly sisters, with polish limosinesservicesthat are simply chauffeured sightseeing tours of local cities, topped off with a meal at an Indian restaraunt ? who needs La Paris? It may be heaven for some couples where laughter is an important part of their relationship, and strengthens ties and bonds It is also for many women an unforgettable Valentine?s Day and is priceless, better than anything in the shops which can be conventional and lacks thought and a personal touch

Maybe great packaging is your thing, and your favourite perfume? Getting a perfectly wrapped perfume or something else like that can create an unsurpassed atmosphere on Valentine?s Day, and here simplicity again may be key A perfume wrapped in ribbon and tissued silk maybe the most important part of your Valentine?s Day, and as precious as a beautifully wrapped single red rose from a veritable florist who takes great care in selecting their flowers These things can be extremely important and if excluded may wilt your penchant for romance and love on the day, and maybe the rest of the year It may become part of a smudged mascara nightmare than returns with a vengeance during ups and downs in a relationship, as it can truly sting your lover, and this could be eternal She may even write to memoirsof a mascara addict the next day, knowing the blow may very well be lethal and emerge as a monster within the near future, meaning this could even break- up a relationship An indicator of troubles bubbling underneath the surface That may be the case, and yes we know how you feel, we really do, but maybe you don? t want a perfect red rose if it?s out of stock anyway, and prefer your boyfriend to talk to you nicely and spend some quality time with you

You may have your eye on something in the shops, but don? t want to buy it yourself, as it?s always nicer if someone buys it for you, especially if your boyfriend buys it for you This may mean more than 5or even 10 presents which all go to waste because you didn? t even want one of them

So why not choose what you want this year, and drop hints to get the perfect present It will also make you feel much better and healthier if you are happier on Valentine?s Day, and with all this free time you deserve a treat The main point being that all the shops are closed, online shopping isn't as romantic, and everyone is too tired to even care - hopefully not!

sweethear t lips Valentine's Day BEAUTY

A great look for Valentine?s Day, the sweetheart look is everything girly and feminine. Pink cerise lips, smoky grey eyes and a side parting are key, along with a great foundation, bronzer and also some hair perfume on freshly washed hair You can create this look by cleansing your face first with a good quality cleanser which minimises pores and helps reflect light You can try something like Dior Snow which will create great dimension with foundation and also bronzer, giving you an immaculate appearance of skin, with a range of different colours Dior Snow which can be found in most department stores is the latest skin regime which helps brighten skin by reflecting light through mini particles found in the lotion A great foundation would be anything from Mac or try Teint Miracle from Lancome A bronzer is a must, it?s hard to find a good quality bronzer or golden coloured blush at the moment, as many are dark brown and bronzy You can however find some great liquid highlighters in gold, try something from NIP + FAB which is good quality, and accessible to mixing and experimenting An eyelash curler is a must, as well as a good bodied or lengthening mascara, you can try PUMP + VOLUME by Christain Dior or definicils by Lancome in Noir Infini The final touch would be some pinky perfume with, some hair perfume ? try Madamoiselle by Chanel and something sweet in your mouth all day long, like some sweetheart sweets

red pillar box pouts...

A great foundation and powder is a must, as it sets your make- up and canvas Anything from MAC is suitable, as they have a great range, so speak to someone at the counter for something that will suit this look, suit your skin tone and is versatile to wear You are aiming for classic pillar box red pouts, so ensure that the make- up doesn? t detract from the look on your lips, but instead primes your skin for red pouty lips Using a lip brush, after priming your lips and setting with a hint of powder ? (using a touch of light powder will give you a reflective quality to red hot lips), carefully line the lips and fill in with a great classic matte red lipstick There are many ranges to choose from, expensive versions are catered for by CHANEL/MAC and you can find cheaper alternatives from companies such as NIP + FAB which are versatile products designed for someone who likes to dabble and experiment with make- up and cosmetics If your red lipstick is too dark, and has drab mauve tones, you can add a bit of matte orangey lipstick to brighten up the look, and make you feel fresh and alive You can add the lipstick in layers and using a tissue against your lips, brush some powder or highlighter through the tissue onto lips to set the make- up and layer up colour slowly There are many products on the market that do this too, but using a tissue will re- create some old fashioned glamour, which is key to this look Try a red lipstick from the Charlotte Tilbury range

For many women life with covid has disrupted many things, one of the most important being their regular beauty regime So if you feel that you can? t face your boyfriend without the help of make- up because you just can? t muster a shopping trip then help is of course here through the avenue of online shopping A godsend for many women, but there are some things online shopping may not be able to cover sometimes, and those days women across the world have to face up to some home truths, like I look different without the help of make- up, in fact, I?m a totally different girl.

Many women feel that they appear boring and miserable without the help of let?s say their favourite lipstick or without the help of foundation Online quantities of ?Mineral Magic?from the shopping channel?s website may not give you the oomph you need to face a day without getting out of bed So what will he think of me?

If your boyfriend has already left you, and cites his reasons as a case of ?it?s just me, not you?then chances are he doesn? t want to risk contracting a potentially dangerous virus from you, and the thought of swapping germs with you and leading him to his death is something that scares the hell out of him So it may not be the lack of concealer or powder then It maybe that he just didn? t love you enough to risk getting ?your?coronavirus, and might want to swap saliva secretly with someone else, so I am afraid you can't salvage an already bad relationship.

On the plus side, if he is still with you, and willing to take the risk, then his love for you may stand the test of time, but that still doesn? t stop many women from fearing the worst, that he may leave without my normal beauty regime. So what does he think of me then, after covid?

Many men feel that a beautiful and well kept woman is the key to their success, makes them fall in love more deeply and is like a trophy that makes them more agreeable in front of their peers and friends It?s a case of ?me casa tu casa? , and if she looks amazing then he will feel that way, as society tends to judge us on not just our own efforts, appearances and achievements, but also those of our respective partners However, this may not always be the case, and also may be a passing phase for many men During the crisis it may be that many men have a change of heart, and prefer to care about their girlfriends in a different way, as spending huge amounts of money and living a life of spontaneity becomes restricted Many men have to try harder to win over their partners, and it may be that he thinks his girlfriend may leave him too, as lack of ?events out?mean that he is stuck too

Anyway, what do men find attractive about women? Well, a good start would be your intoxicating pheromones, which are released from your body naturally They were until this point masked underneath beautiful perfumes and lotions, which can attract your partner wildly and create a strong bond of attraction It maybe that your natural smell is still pulling your boyfriend, and now he notices a more earthy part of you

It may make him see you in another light, one which is more realistic and bonds you in another way, giving added dimension to your relationship and how he values your looks, personality and body appeal If not, then it may also man you are not matched, or weren? t as deeply in love as you once thought Keeping clean is a must, if you are paranoid, and your natural smell maybe very faint, and may make him see you as a real human being, and not a packaged and processed version of a woman

What about your real features? With all your make- up off the face he may be able to look closer at your natural face, and finally find out who you are Many men would love to see you bare faced, and without the help of someone?s else?s ideals on beauty and perfection It can bring about and surface strong baby making drives in men, and if he subconsciously likes your face, he maybe at ease at having children with you, and likes the way they may turnout if he decided to try and get you pregnant

Feeling weak means we feel needy, and if your boyfriend is happy to indulge requests to pass you your corona mask when you can? t be bothered to get it yourself, then he really cares With no one to turn to except your nearest and dearest, the epidemic has created a crunch time effect, with stay or leave options following the entire crisis However on the upside statistics show that despite the crisis the divorce rate is down, aswell as incidences of domestic violence This maybe due to the fact that couples have time to talk, and are being forced to care for each other The statistics show a pattern of behaviour which is also seen on Valentine?s Day where there are less incidences of domestic violence due to spending quality time together, sending and receiving gifts, and generally behaving more sweetly with each other It has been noted that there are less incidences worthy of a real police report on Valentine?s Day, and the crisis seems to mirror the behaviour seen by many couple?s on Valentine?s Day, where time is spent solely on their relationship and their lives together

Spending so much time alone, without the distraction of work commitments or family responsibilities means people are getting closer, and relationships are seeing a clearer path If he?s still there with you, and hasn? t left then it?s a good sign about your relationship and what could be possible for the future if both can get through At the least you know you have a true friend who cared about you in the time of need You know he won? t bail out at the slightest sign of pressure or uncomfortable situations which require patience, sensitivity and a caring and nurturing nature

Psychological studies show that close proximity to your boyfriend means a greater chance of attraction, as people tend to fall in love more with people they are in close proximity with Take a look at American programme Friends, where it was inevitable that the 6 friends would eventually date due to being in such close proximity with each other, being good friends and sharing life experiences with each other on a regular basis

Having high maintenance looks is a great way of getting into your boyfriend?s heart, but if you can? t keep up the pretence you should rest assured that letting your hair down and going for the natural look may not scare him off, it may open up a new door to your relationship. Beauty of course is in the eye of the beholder, and if he likes your uneven skin tone, or slightly bushy hair then it maybe that he thinks the world of you as he sees the beauty inside, which just lights up your natural looks and his heart He may just love you, and not just your mask like make- up!

Love f r om your secr et

If you?ve always had your eyes on someone, or think someone is your soulmate then sending them a Valentine?s day card is key.It is the best time of year to show your feelings to someone you have feelings for, is an extremely romantic way of showing your affection and you will share the experience with thousands of other girls who are in the same predicament There are so many choices in Valentine?s Day cards in the stores and you can easily make one online Custom made Valentine?s Day cards all have audio and a complimentary video as an essential, and the other ideas fir your Valentine are limitless too, depending on your imagination and how much you want to spend Some crazy women even go as far as creating a personal book as an additional token of their affection and their love Sending them a photobook is one thing, to make clear how you feel, but creating an romantic novel is a pre- requisite for many women

Maybe you are in angst about how you feel, and see someone at work everyday? You may want to tell them how you feel, as you want to know how they feel too? Maybe he?s someone who you have an eye on for a very long time, and he is about to start a relationship with someone else, before he goes you may want to tell him how you feel, and ask him to consider thinking about you as a potential love interest? It may be a good idea, if he is about to start a relationship to send him a Valentine?s Day card before he gets in too deep Maybe he is already in deep and that upsets you more, sending a Valentine?s card during a deep relationship is not a good idea, but if your feelings are ardent too, then sending someone a Valentine?s Day and hearing a definite no maybe the hint or clear message you need? In rare cases it maybe that the feelings he conveys through his relationship were actually for you It?s maybe worth a try

Sending someone a Valentine?s Day card could be a precursor to future events, like you telling them how you feel? Many women want to do this, as feel expressing their feelings is important, whether he likes you back or not It is important to express feelings of love for many women, and cheap not to tell them as your feelings were from the truest part of your heart You may need to demonstrate how you feel to that person, and talk to them face to face Love sometimes doesn? t die down until you tell that person that you care about them deeply and wish it was you

They may not realise it at the time, especially if they are already in a relationship, but it may be something they appreciate later on when the dust has settled In rare cases they may leave their partner and turn to you, so if they are in a big relationship you should tread carefully, do you really wan this, sometimes writing their names in ink with a short message can clarify things for you Whatever happens sending someone a Valentine?s Day is a bit like adultery, so you should think carefully before you ruin someone?s paradise

Too shy? You have a better time with people?s judgements shy girl, with people gushing over your every move If you finally come to the end of avoiding the issue, and can? t contain your feelings anymore, and he?s single too, then maybe it?s time to open up and send him a Valentine?s Day card? I?m sure you have checked, and checked, and checked every single possibility and outcome, and probably wouldn? t make a mess of it, the way most girls do who simply rush into things You can discreetly order Valentine?s Day cards online, or even make one online too, with you own personal message if normal Valentine?s Day cards are too obvious, too contrived or simply made for people already in a relationship You can even create a card with a secret message which only he would understand Just create the card, take as long as you want, and when the time comes to pay for the card online quickly press the button and forget about it! Many companies have a section where they ask if you would like to send the card to a certain address, that?s your cue, and simply close your eyes and press yes! The card will arrive on Valentine?s Day at his address, and if he is interested he will find you

That?s a great idea! Maybe you are at your desk or at home, thinking how wonderful and idea that is! Shy people often radiate huge interest in people?s hearts, and guess what, I want to do that too! Shy people often attract the esteem and high regard of many, and those people may feel like joining you. It?s a great ice- breaker and talking point with friends, can engage your attention for what seems like an entire age, and is good fun for many, and a great way to relax and laugh with a potential partner, who?knowsyou shy too?

Great Tex tpectations

Would you send your boyfriend 80o text messages a day? Many relationships feel that this is key, whilst others may not see the sense in wasting their time with too many text messages unless it is important, citing it as something that is just?too much?Many couples feel it is just unclassy and not important, whilst others feel that 800 text messages each day just simply isn? t enough.

Texting all day long to your partner may be a great part of your relationship, or something that just needs to be done, even if you don? t feel the need It enables you to keep in touch, have something to talk about, push the boundaries and forces you to entertain your partner more by making them laugh, keep their intrest and care about them more. It helps you create a bond with other couples too, and is a sub- culture in itself which you simply can't ignore if you are addicted to texting all day long More importantly texting all day long is an expression of the feelings of love and wild intoxication many people feel when in a relationship, and is a sentimental reminbder of how you feel about your boyfriend, and how he feels about you

Many women text all day long to see if there is a change in their partners minds and hearts and works a treat if he is about to cheat, as suddenly the text messages get less frequent, and written with?guilt?as ? I will always lov u 2?or ? I love you more than pizza?turns into ?maybe we are moving too fast into things?and ?maybe we should slow down??Many women swear by it, and claim that too much just isn? t enough, and if there?s a change in your partner?s heart, thi is the best way to catch him out It could even work well in a court case or with the police, as there is evidence and a record of times and dates if this get messy

Most women feel that although texting may seem cheap to many women, sending your finding to a court room or police station may be a bit too much You should be ardent and honest with your feelings, and if your boyfriend is starting to get the roving eye, excessive texting is a must! They are only human, and if your man starts to think twice about your relationship you should simply text even more! Even more, yes, that is the time to switch your sim card for more free texts, to bring him back to you and make your relationship even firmer if he starts to sway ? it really works!

Countless man claim I was just messing around, but she wouldn? t leave me and now I?m stuck, they claim, but the truth is that they don? t leave and that somewhere in their hearts they are very happy, and don? t feel like leaving ? exactly the reason why many men leave their partnerbecause she was a stuck up bitch, or she simply didn? t care about me enough Who cares if your girlfriend couldn? t cook you anything but a raw meal, the most important thing is that she understands that relationships are also hard work, and based on a bond or great friendship, and that can always turn into a deeper love, where they are happy to stay faithful if you help them work on it!

So what if you are dating the texting equivalent of Glen Medeiros who claims nothings gonna change my love for you, over 900 times a day? Many women find this type of male appealing, especially if they are thinking about starting a family As long as they are financially secure, setting him up financially means they learn the skills to look after him, but really practice for their children, who may be happy, content and stable with parents who declare their undying love for each other more than a 1000 times a day They are essentially doing it for their kids, and although their partner may not be perfect, their children grow up both parents gave up on the idea of perfect partner for them, which is a priceless feeling for many children who feel loved and cherished knowing their parents made that sacrifice for them It builds a stronger bond in their family, and helps a child stand on their own two feet

Non stop texting is like non stop appraisal and validation for many men and women, and it may not be just a solution for insecurity within a relationship It builds more trust, friendship and opens up new doors in a relationship, where trust and lack of confidence is not an issue They eat out more, try more types of entertainment are and are much happier in themselves, and if boredom strikes and they feel like venturing out to ?get an affair?the cold new vixen makes them reel so they just return back to their partner where everything is cosy and familiar You could whittle down the whole thing as an undying fad also known as 'textpectation': - a state of anxiety felt when waiting for someone to text back, which may be the reason why you are reading this now

Sealed with a kiss

It's cr unch time with many relationship's under going the pass or fail test - it's time to take a closer look at life living with covid.

The covid pandemic means that we are spending more time alone and at home then ever before Life in quarantine is different, to say the least and can have an adverse effect on relationships especially if they are already strained If however you use this time carefully it could brighten up your days and your love life as you?ll get some time to rake out problems and issues that can stay concealed and ignored There are many new dimensions and roads that open up when we face an epidemic like this, and it is something that can bring people together too Let?s look at the adverse effects the pandemic can bring, and also what can be salvaged from a bad situation which may be just getting worse

If you are in a relationship already, and one partner get?s the virus, the chances were and still are very high that you may get coronavirus. It was or is more than likely that many women spread the virus to their boyfriend or husband, or contracted coronavirus from their husband or boyfriend

So, that?s one blame game over, because if it was a real problem the relationship could?ve come to an end? This is an important milestone in any relationship, and if both partner?s qualms or worries on remaining faithful to this person weren? t verified or shaken up too much then it?s time to face up to the facts, this could be a strong bond which may be worth looking into further Meaning, I know now my boyfriend likes me enough that they would risk death And on a wider scale too, the coronavirus scare whittled out the strong from the weak, and a sense of security filled the hearts of many people on a worldwide scale, giving them a shared experience, and also uprooted false fears and doubts in their hearts and minds A kiss of death that may stand the test of time

Spending time alone can be liberating sometimes, and during the pandemic as everything was and is still going wrong, it can be quite amazing to see how freeingspending time alone can be Facing your worst fears and doubts, relying on yourself instead of others, getting through illness without a shoulder to cry on sometimes, and watching or hearing about dying in complete isolation are some of the biggest turn of events during the crisis, turning new pages in more than one person?s life during a shared global experience. It was a worldwide experience and first lesson in shared illness, trauma and loss It is a cold pill to swallow sometimes, but is one of the truthful components of life, and something many face each day It certainly makes you appreciate things, and realise that for many covid was and still is an everyday experience without much help sometimes Many had to face up to the real facts of life, stuff they couldn? t ignore anymore, and now probably never will For your relationship there?s huge benefits with spending time alone, giving you time to take scope of things, think out what you really want from the relationship, if you even want it at all, and what you could possibly plan for the future For your boyfriend or husband, , it could really make or break a relationship, as spending time alone with your partner, without any help, and sometimes even no- make up can really help you decide if you like that person or not It could be a make or break situation where you may be able to clearly decide whether you can overlook their little mistakes or find them endearing.

Let?s talk Without the help of a screen barring your true emotions or the ping ping ringing of the next text message Can you talk properly without avoiding the issue? Relying on modern technology to avoid obvious problems in relationships will be surfaced during this time, aswell as anything else you like to avoid or hide from The epidemic has good friends too Are you thinking what I am thinking? As if you are thinking something then so is the next coronavirus victim in the same type of ?demographic?situation Such as a career minded 30 something who cheated on her boyfriend just a few times to bag her dream job, or a 40 something female C E O who meets her boyfriends through work only, and spends every other minute with her boyfriend, never mixing Business with pleasure after the weekly 9- 5is over Not even that, some relationships have come to realise that they can? t discuss or talk about anything at all, without the cues in life we all rely on sometimes such as eating their toast and then rushing off to work, or working late on Monday?s to avoid discussing what happened on the weekend and sitting on your chair at work longer than usual until your boyfriend forgets you spent £200.00 last month calling up Psychic TV for advise on your rocky and miserable relationship

Discussing problems Once you give in to the ghost and start discussing you know things like how you chose to spend your time, and this is how much it will cost if you don? t plan things properly, then we get to the inevitable and that?s discussing problems, real problems Like you avoid gettingtoo deep, why isthat?It may not because you are having an affair, it may be that you are secretly shy, or were hurt once by someone which closed up your heart. But what if the worst case scenario was true, and you were always cheating, and work timetables were perfect cues and cover screens for raunchy affairs or secretly illicit meetings which were covered perfectly by a 9- 5timetable

Facing up to facts you can? t change Most people can? t avoid quarantine, or life is isolation As this momentum gathers you will see it begins to reflect in all our lives, and there are some truth?s you just can? t avoid Upsetting and hurting your partner and telling them to ?grow up?when it hurts is something that can be raked up now, as well as affairs, unkindness and many other misdemeanors If it?s something really serious like a special court order or permission to keep avoiding your partner because you have an undiagnosed acute form of Asthma which means you can? t wear a mask anywhere, well then it may indicate your sense of guilt As everyone is happy to conform to strict guidelines and regulations, saying no to wearing a mask makes you stick out like a sore thumb, and for many women or men, truly confirms their suspicions or in opposition can help to truly absolve your guilt, and clear up the mess Whatever the situation is, coronavirus is helping to clear up the facts everywhere, whether you know now he truly loves you and he was happy to swap saliva during the time of an outbreak of a deadly disease, or staying in wasn? t the cosy reason I thought, but a way of buttering me up before his real nights out

DOWN WITH LOVE

Valentine?s Day can be a hugely miserable experience, especially if you?re not dating someone or aren? t happily married It can make you feel empty and low, stumping you down in front of your peers properly, as they hold a high esteem and emphasisfor love and relationships, and the perfect Valentine?s Day present and card There are many events lined up for Valentine?s Day, and as the Coronavirus epidemic looms further, most Valentine?s Day plans have been neatly ticked off as a potential hazard, spreading the disease further to?other happy couples? Many people feel extremely low at the thought of Valentine?s Day, and walking past an aisle full of cards only reminds them they haven? t received one yet, or haven? t had one from their boyfriend or husband in years, or it just reminds them of a messy break- up after a fight or an affair For many people, Valentine?s Day is just not a happy occasion

Always

being cheated on

According to some stats, some great statisticsone in every five people are caught having an affair, and nearly 48%of marriages end in a divorce That?s nearly half of the population within the UK, which means everyone of us is effected by divorce More divorce meansa jealousand evil spurned wife who doesn? t try hard enough to get back with their boyfriend and resolve things, but instead causes trouble for the mistress and funniest of all ?every single person who watched or knew about the affair?In fact affairs and illicit affairs were the ?de rigeur?of the day, and what a work timetable was all about. As the coronavirus pandemic gets longer and longer, these horrid affairs are being surfaced in more than one house, with some brutal results and home truths Sure takes away some of the pain of being single. Although divorces and break- ups have actually significantly lowered during the pandemic, as more and more couples are choosing to stay together

Boyfr iends always betr aying you

It may be inconceivable to you to find that your boyfriend may not be as supportive as you thought, in fact he may be planning to betray you on a regular basis and your friends may be in on it too, with his friends Sounds so callous? It is. Another happy occasion like Valentine?s Day can make anyone feel bad, but for many women they just want to give up on love altogether, and it goes further than avoiding the card stands in Selfridges and the pretty pink cellophone which wraps up some of the best presents ever seen, with a complimentary free bow It shouldn? t be her it should be me is only half of the story, and many women just feel despondent, and quite frankly gave up years ago Don? t like Valentines day

I just don? t like Valentine?s Day If a ?used to be romantic? fool has to give up on Valentine?s Day and send their excitement elsewhere in replace of a drab and despondent frowning face on the day then all you can do is sympathise with them Some kindness may help them return, but many forget that the day brings heartache and misery to so many women, and during the pandemic you can feel the blow more than ever as everyone experiences some form of loss Many women have to forsake their zest for Valentine?s Day romance and just have to hate it, due to a painful break- up, being trapped in spinsterhood or simply being single and unable to hold down a relationship for more than three days

Tired of all the miser y ? no more love songs

Oh, I?m so sick of love songs, so tired of you Sounds like Coronavirus again? No, it?s actually the opposite Many people feel that Valentine?s Day is another ?rubbing salt in their wounds?type of situation, especially if they have been backstabbed more than once When a person is heartbroken they can see the world in a different way, and things that remind them of their heartbreak and loss can give them the same emotional pain, such as leading to a headache, or feeling like you want to pig out and eat 4 tubs of ice- cream watching movies all night long It may even make you feel as if there is no such thing as true love It may appear as a passing fad for many, despite being traditionally celebrated each year, and just another cheap way of making money

Making money through love and romance is a big business, and since the onset of choosing your own entertainment, you will find that people?s ideas on ?entertainment?may not be as wholesome as you once have thought, and may veer on the gritty side of life, such as outcasting someone from their respective society and paying for the ex- School friends make cheap tapes that relay their abuse and taunts What?s worse and very common is a business which works as a neighbourhood watch scheme, keeping tabs on their victim, intercepting post and tapping into their calls with police help. They pose as people concerned and find out everything about you When they find romance is on the cards, they trap the male in the same way and before you know it someone who used to bully you at School gets the upper hand even on your boyfriend It?s a lucrative business where money is no object of affection for the victim they are all jointly preying on. They revel in the thought of someone being left behind in life, especially an old School victim Some would even go to the lengths of paying your local area a lump sum which covers secret parties, bad treatment in local stores and of course all forms of outcasting through the church and temples alike, who have heard a report from somewhere that you are a bad apple.

Dread Valentine?s Day

Many people simply dread the thought of Valentine?s Day. The cards, the balloons, and of course the presents Incidences of domestic violence are reported to be more less frequent however, with only a small drop in domestic violence and dating violence incidences according to National Resource Centre on Domestic Violence the pattern of domestic violence is contained only slightly by Valentine?s Day ? according to the Psychologies Today website Although these findings may seem miniscule and unimportant, it does indicate that domestic violence is lessened by a day celebrating love and romance, and respective cards, affections and presents, events out or even better a holiday or short break It means that there is a simpler story to any Valentine?s Day upsets, and many relationships need a cure which is akin to the demonstration of love couples show each other only once a year It may not be a case of something more sinister or dangerous, but a simple cry for more love, romance, spontaneity or more care

DREAM SYMBOLISM LOVE

Dreaming about love is one of the most beautiful things you can encounter as a per son. Here's two of the most impor tant symbols which signify love is on the way, or in the midst of your life now, so don't despair. A guide for people looking for a love sign....

As Valentine?s Day approaches you may want to consider the meaning of dreams, and what they mean for your love life? Love does this to people, especially near Valentine?s Day If you are dreaming about love, it may be a premonition of some sorts Usually people who are about to encounter a great love story have dreams which are different to their normal types of dream If you are already in love then you may have many dreams which involve feeling in love, kissing and other types of symbolism When you are already in love it could be a good idea to write down what you saw in your dreams and try and interpret them yourself, as the cues in your dreams may not be fully identified and symbolised by classical dream interpretation in a black and white way, only due to the fact there are many symbols and subconscious indicators about love through your own cues, like something that is deeply personal to you Drinking a glass of water could signify you haven? t seen your boyfriend for months, and finally you speak to him about something that bothers you and only his care can solve

If love is about to enter your life, and you have waited patiently watching others marry for years, then a premonition is usually expected It is a special type of dream, which some say maybe a lucid type of dream, whilst other?s believe it is a dream which works with your sense of intuition and psychic qualities, some say they are sent by angels and others believe that your soul visits heaven whilst you sleep, and what you dream about is a true message The only problem with that type of dream is that as you return from heaven each night, only the devil corrupts how you interpret the dream as you awake, or what you see in the dream, depending on how ?devilish?you are Whatever the consensus, there has been much experimental work in this area, and an area Psychologists take very seriously. It?s not just mumbo jumbo and can many dream interpretations or opinions on what they see can be proven through results of experiments and statistical work To a certain degree you can prove whether dreams predict the future already, and there is also plenty of scope to look into this area in the future if due to popular demand, or even the qualms of one Psychologist. However, like everything, nothing is set in stone, and to really understand the realm of dreams, it is best to keep a dream diary and take a look at the area on a long term basis If you are miserable because you are single and always dream about dark nights without any stars, or even the moon, then this may mean that you feel miserable, upset, and can? t see clearly without being in love

If, after a long wait, you finally start dreaming of things like say a big bright full moon without any clouds covering it?s light and one which reflects light in a dream during the night, it may mean that you have finally had enough of being depressed, and have found a way out by thinking about your emotions which may lead to some sunlight in your life You may be on a journey out of the darkness and into the light, despite what your adversaries say, feel or think. The moon is symbolic of the goodness in your life which you have earned yourself which will lead you out of your problems, like a guardian angel that helps you in times of darkness

Dreaming about the moon is one of the biggest symbols in the world of dreams and dream interpretation. It?s something every culture sees at night, and held in high esteem within many cultures A big, bright full moon means that your problems are fully over, and that misery and bad luck will be replaced with better times. During times of severe depression and a feeling of no way out, dreaming of seeing the moon is a huge relief and consoles many people, giving you a way out of the confusion and misery experienced during times of severe hardship It also a deep symbol regarding your problems, giving you a certain sign that the problems you encounter were truly difficult, and big enough to be noticed by the moon, when other?s try and humour the situation as something unimportant and not worthy of a solution Seeing the moon in your dreams, especially a full moon is a sign that your problems have reached the ears of many important people, and that your complaints and account is credible and your journey out of your problems is worthy of huge respect and admiration Seeing the full moon within a dream during times of troubles means that you have come out of problems, or will in the near future in a way which is honourable and full of esteem

THE M OON

What does it mean if you are single and depressed and dream about a full moon? What does it mean for other's too?

FULL MOON ? Finally fed up of depression? Then seeing the moon in your dreams means you have or will have taken your first step out of this place Your nightmares are about to end, and although you may still encounter some of the darkest part of the night, you can rest assured that your contemplation on yourself and your troubles will guide you out of the darkness and towards a better life. You will have a watchful guardian like the moon in your life, and this experience will reflect out to others either in the same predicament, or others who will hear about your story as far as the reach of the light of the moon. It also is a deeply connected symbol with love and represents the feminine side of deep love Maybe you are deeply in love with someone? If you see the moon you may be someone who has deeply ardent feelings which are not acknowledged by anyone, until now. Seeing the moon is an auspicious sign, and means that the deepest side of you, which is love will transmit to others, and may reach the ears of writers, poets, lyricists and other famous people. There are many images of females in sight of a full moon during the night. This is an especially deep symbol, which already has an established reputation and has cues and meanings in many religions and cultures. Maybe lack of love has estranged you, but despite this there is still hope, as the moon shines in your direction your path may be hard, but with the help and guidance of the moon?s light you will be guided to another day when your problems may cease, especially in your love life.

Dreaming about Love

What does it mean if you dream about love? Is this bad luck for people in a relationship, and does it br ing good luck to those who are single?

Love ? To dream of love may not actually mean you are happy in your love life, and it may not even be precious to you It may however be an important part of your everyday life, and without it you?re A- Z to life may not work. It may also be a symbol of how lucky you are in love, and that you can even take it for granted. Dreaming about love is more common for people within a relationship, and if you are not but have a strong crush you may see that person in your dream but can? t talk to them, or express how you feel or even spend time with them. It also means they may never come into your life, so maybe you are simply wasting your time, as your subconscious can estimate or gage how likely your endevours are in this area.

Let?s hope you don? t as dreaming about love when you are already happy in love may mean you need to treat it with more respect, and maybe a subconscious scream from your soul to care about your boyfriend and appreciate the love in your life. Maybe introduce more romance into your love life? Dreaming about love is reflective of how you conduct your love life for many too, so if you feel discretion is important for your boyfriend, and that keeping your boyfriend?s identity is best shielded, you may see him represented in the form of a symbol which lightly covers this area. You may feel like you are flying high with your boyfriend, and if you experience an amazing dream like flying then it may be that you have some good luck on the way in terms of your love life, which is also lucky for achievements and gaining status in some way or another.

To dream you are a character in a fairy tale may indicate that you would like your wishes and dreams of love to realise in your life. It may mean you want to be swept off your feel, and made to feel like a real life princess, like Cinderella. This may especially be true if you have a hard life, and have huge amounts of adversaries within your life. You may be yearning for romance in your life, and for someone to rescue you from a life of monotony and despondency.

Valentine?s Day is an amazing time to receive a proposal The ring, the evening out and the shared happiness with other loved up couples Everything mirrors your happiness on the day too, and many men decide to present their girlfriends with a ring, or at the very least a very big hint that marriage may definitely be on the cards

So how do you know he will propose, and is it really the right time for one of the most important moments of your life? Many women gleam at the thought, ?it?s perfect?they would think, but others may be put off by the commercial aspect and lack of intimacy on Valentine?s Day, which may seem like a huge marketing ploy and operation to simply make money without much sentiment sometimes According to statistics, generally the consensus is that at least 220,000 men propose to their girlfriends on Valentine?s Day, and this year may not be an exception, even with the COVID scare looming over their masks Interestingly, Valentine?s Day according to some reports may not be the most popular day to propose, as it is actually stumped by Christmas Day, and also New Year?s Day, where Cinderella themed proposal?s and fairy tale Grand Ball?s are more popular than everything Valentine?s Day has on offer It may be because many women feel like just another number, and are pitched up against other romantic couples

According to popular and beautiful wedding website ?The Knot?couples are definitely choosing Christmas Day to pop the question, and their initiation into this aspect of their lives continues until Valentine?s Day

This means they propose on Christmas Day and carry on celebrating their romance until Valentine?s Day, and that their special night out or in is a stamp of approval for both partners and a sign for important people to understand that their relationship is serious and veering towards marriage, with 65% asking their parents permission first like an Egyptian or Arabic proposal This means that it is a clean and hopefully prosperous affair, where both families and close friends are happy for the couple and give their blessings Interestingly, as this secret fad rises, so does the ban on ?Valentine?s Day?in similar countries like Saudi Arabia where the punishment extends to over 4,500 lashes, and the most interesting addition to the banning Valentine?s Day bandwagon was the decision by Urdu speaking country Pakistan who chose to join the club, releasing the news on Valentine?s Day 2017of their surprise comradery and endeavours to end this ?affair? , through the ?High Courts of Justice?in Islamabad, Pakistan. The celebrations were banned for seeming un- Islamic and probably against Sharia Law Of course, Pakistan?s neighbouring enemy is also catching the virus, with demonstrations and calls to end the activities on Valentine?s Day, despite it being good for ?economic liberalisation? , which is always important to India who see their country as a more liberal and enlightened palette when compared to Pakistan With talk of the Pfizer vaccine and weddings with masks it?s all looking very eastern.

COVID WEDDINGS

AND VALENTINE'S DAY PROPOSALS ARE STILL THE ORDER OF THE DAY

DESPITE HAVING TO WEAR A MASK

This doesn? t deter people from weddings and marriages itself, with many press stories abound everywhere about couple?s who get married during covid, despite having to wear a mask. The new trends in mini- elopements, micro weddings and ?minimonies?means that couples are determined to get married no matter what. A ?minimoni? however takes into consideration the importance of the covid crisis, and aims to instead create a sequel of marriage ceremonies and events which cater for smaller guest lists and also get married slowly, with numerous ceremonies, to hopefully re- arrange their special day without the dismal display of masks and measures, which put a dampener on their big day. Even worse are ?virtual weddings?which can be organised with a zoom meeting or any webcam The couple get married with someone relaying the filming online, and all you have to do is watch online as someone gets married live Don? t forget your safety screens!

The Knot, has huge amounts of advice on how to get through COVID such as advice on writing to wedding guests keeping the pandemic in mind, and that their safety is paramount in the crisis, advice on travel restrictions and even apologies on whittling down the guest list, and citing their reasons as being COVID aware, and that the ?special guest list?is no way indicative of any type of favouritism at all Selecting certain members within the family is a necessary measure, and are only being invited due to restrictions, and of course there wouldn? t be any other reason apart from the above, with their sincerest regrets and thoughts during the epidemic. Everyone has a ?deselected?list now, of people they would rather not swap their ?germs?and ?nasties?with. It seems that ?vendors?and couples could track vaccinations which is not ideal during wedding times too ? ?As vendors are currently arranging layouts according to guests' comfort levels, tracking vaccinations will add a convenient layer to the process Having a COVID vaccine tracker for your guest list might help with mismatched seating arrangements and ceremony layouts.?Nothing personal of course, are just some of the snidy comments and tasty relishments on offer for Aunties who take care of the family disputes department Each family is different too, so do get involved in helping on the big day

Even worse is having to inform other guests, that a loving and cherished member of the family may have passed away, and that we would be happy for you to take their place These are the realities of the coronavirus scare, and The Knot website convey the mood of undettered couples with uploaded video?s on the website?s claiming with certainty that ?Love isn? t cancelled, and neither is planning? . The website advises couples who are about to get engaged to refrain from buying big engagement rings, or anything to flashy or ostentatious ? bling is not the order of the day, and that if you are getting married to remember to keep your distance from your loved ones, and remember to carry out ?social distancing?requirements. Although on the upside, it is important to stay happy and in light spirits during the crisis, and this is always important when looking at any aspect of our health, and the health of others who spend time with us during this time That?s great advice! The Knot takes everything into consideration and even has a timeline for taking your vaccine, let?s say six months before you attend a wedding, with PfizerBIO- NTECH being particularly recommended citing the pharmaceutical company jab as having a ?94%efficacy rate? . She?s certainly sturdy enough for wedding guests, and any new strains of the virus! And of course, whatever Pfizer can do, AstraZenica can match, and MODERNA tries to benchmark themselves

Valentine?s Day is always important to Arians, it suits their passionate and romantic side. With everything red their lucky colour Aries has no shortage in choice.

20th A pril - M ay 20th

With Mars in Taurus on Valentine?s Day, and Uranus in Taurus too, you should have a fiery and passionate spirit, with a inventive, quick and cerebral mind Mars the planet of War and Sex is in Taurus on Valentine?s Day This is good for anything passionate, but it also means that using your materialistic mind and buying presents will work on Valentine?s Day, as your ruling planet Venus bestows gifts on those they can utilise well and help flourish. All your buttering up over the years with materialistic themes will certainly work, as well as on you too Taurus, so be careful Valentine?s Day is a fantastic idea, and what better way to celebrate love than spending huge amounts of money, after months, and months and months of saving. If you have anything on your mind, then use your imagination and serious spending or saving skills in relation to money to strike lucky! Taurus, which is normally ruled by Venus, is instead spending time with the Arian and Scorpion ruling planet, Mars It means that anything that involves love, sex and war will be within it?s on element, and that means that if anything love, sex or war is on the cards then do things the Aries or Scorpion way Wearing the colour red is key, as is making something delicious to eat, as well as spending time having great fun (Aries) with real emotional depth which is secret and also alluring (Scorpio). It?s a great time for Taurus to put mind over matter too, especially concerning your love life.

Meaning that many people find it hard to reach your standards of health, well- being and perfection. As people spend time isolating, you can see what their priorities are like, which may be a big surprise to you Their boyfriends may be much more important than you previously thought, and as the COVID scare looms, you realise they may be more emotional and caring than you once thought. You are quite a harsh critic sometimes, and can have a military regime for even simple things like your upkeep and how you tackle anything, really.
