Valentine’s Day isn’t all about giving gifts, kisses and expressing your affection for your soulmate. It can be the day to revitalize the joy of your romantic relationship. If you have been dating for a short while, maybe it is time to tell him or her exaclty how you feel. And if you have been together for some time, it will be a wonderful occasion to reaffirm that connection you share. What better way to do this than to to suprise your partner with a special home cooked meal..
You have to prepare early and let your imagination go wild. And this is all so you two will be able to express freely on Valentine’s Day.
What is the thing you need the most to create the desired effects?
Candles and lots of them. Use different colors and sizes for added impact. The predominant color has to be red, the color color of passion, lust and love. They can be placed anywhere in the room: close to the windows so their light would seem to come from outside like moonlight on a clear Summer’s evening (but avoid putting them near curtains otherwise your romantic evening could end up with a visit from the fire brigade), on the sideboard, on the table and in every other corner of your room.
It’s going to be an enjoyable meal and a long evening, so the candles will have to burn a long time. Pick candles inside small bowls if you are concerned about wax dripping on to the carpet. Or if you are worried about so many candles and fire, put some floating candles in a round fish bowl or vase of water with a few flower petals. This way you can let them burn down without worry: they will burn but nothing else will catch fire around them.
If you can’t agree with candles, pick then some scarves to throw over the light sources. They have to be colored, usually red, but they can also come in the color you both like. Keep in mind that the material they are made of must not have plastic fibers in it so that it won’t heat and you can eat your dinner without having to worry about them.
Don’t forget the aromatherapy bowls and the perfumed sticks. If you have been married or together for awhile you should know his or her favorite scent. If you like the perfume of fresh flowers, pick a discreet bouquet of your favorite ones and place them somewhere around.
Keep in mind that dinner must be something you both like and has to last longer. So, pick different food types and a desert that seems appropriate. The desert would have to have some hearts or cupids design on it if possible. If you don’t cook, order food early and make sure it gets delivered right on time.
