Valentine’s Day
 
A holiday we love to celebrate
Do you know why we celebrate Valentine’s Day? It’s a story that will sweep you away…
 
During the Roman Empire, marriages of soldiers in opposition of the empire were prohibited and young men caught breaking the law were even executed. Couples daring enough to break the law and seal the deal sought Saint Valentine – a bishop who secretly performed marriages for young lovers. St. Valentine kept the romance alive for many couples until he was caught and sentenced to execution.
 
Alone in his prison cell, St. Valentine and the jailor’s daughter formed a deep bond. He fell in love with the young girl and just before his execution on February 14, 270 A.D., he wrote a farewell letter to her signed “From Your Valentine.” Today the holiday symbolizes that same hope that St. Valentine carried for young couples.
 
Love is definitely something to be celebrated every day. However, much like giving gratitude on Thanksgiving, February 14 is another reminder to proclaim your love for the ones you love.
 
So how are you going to keep the flame burning this Valentine’s day? We’re sharing some of our favorite ideas to celebrate your affection on this day – and every day!

• Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most. A loving gesture could be as easy as an early morning wake up call to tell that special someone “Happy Valentine’s Day!” or a simple “I love you.” Make any day a date night with a quiet stroll along the beach. And don’t wait till you make a mistake to let love blossom – surprise her with her favorite flowers for no reason at all.  
• Make sure that love is in the air by lighting Aloha Elixir’s Romantic Rose Soy Elixir or the Aloha Elixir Venus Candle. Light the spark and set the mood for a romantic dinner or night cap by lighting these candles fused with loving intentions. Order yours here: ALOHA ELIXIR 
• Love has no limits – meaning Valentine’s Day is for everyone! Share the love with your special someone whether it’s friends, children or a family member. Treat yourself or someone you care about to their favorite snack or a thoughtful card or note. Give your kids a hug or your significant other a massage after a long day. Showing your love also doesn’t need to be about material things.
• Leave it to the stars to deepen a love connection. Stargazing is the perfect way to spark intimate conversation and can be dressed up with a picnic or simply sharing a bottle of your favorite wine or bubbly. Take a detour on your drive home and take advantage of that sunroof and make it a moon-roof paired with your love song. As cliché as it sounds, let the moon hit their eyes and like a big pizza pie, that’s amore!

• Disconnect the distractions and make sure you only have eyes for your special someone – literally. Whether you’re doing something as simple as watching a movie at home or going out to a fancy dinner, leave your smart phone at home or tucked safely away in your pocket. That food pic you want to post, can wait till later. So for now, just bask in the special moment and swoon over the real apple of your eye.

 
Of all days in the year, use this day to let love happen! And remember, there’s never a bad time to express your affection for the ones you adore.
