Ahh.. it's that time of the year again when cupid comes out to play. Because of technology and social media, I personally feel romance has definitely faded. The mystery of 'am I going to see him, Is he going to call or come online to chat?' has disappeared as it is now normal to be online ALL the time.
Online dating is definitely different to meet and greets, however I know so many couples who have gotten hitched from meeting their knight in shining armour through the social media apps!
The most romantic day of the year (also known as February 14 aka Valentines day) is fast approaching and you want to create the most romantic gesture - without breaking the bank with those expensive bouquet of roses, what do you do!
Here are 5 amazing ideas, maybe one will sweep them off your feet... we'll let you take the credit for it!

Then pick a movie to watch. Then show each other what you got for one another and watch both movies!

]]>No one will ever gift the same item as you (unless if great minds think alike and two people end up shopping in the same store!). And because they are hand made, no two items will be exactly identical!
Hand made items are usually highly customisable to your preference.
This one is for the tree huggers out there! Hand made usually requires little to no large heavy machinery meaning no carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere. Each hand made artisan also has the ability to select the packaging - this is to the artisan's own discretion!
Each artisan will most likely be able to tell you how they came up with their product, their ideas may also inspire you to come up with something creative and you may even ask them to complete a unique personalisable item for you!
Every small business can only survive if they've got people supporting them, when you support hand made, you are supporting a love of art and craft and supporting someone putting food on their table!
Handmade stores are usually run by micro and small businesses owners. The item you see listed is likely have been in the making from few hours to several hours or even days to come into fruition before it lands on the market.
Because the items are crafted by hand, the maker will be 110% happy with it by personally checking every detail before they send it off to their new owners - you!
With large companies you will never get to speak to the person who is sending your product to you, with hand made, you are able to contact this person directly! Talk about great customer service!
What are other reasons why you would buy handmade?

“A person's name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” – Dale Carnegie.
To present someone with a personalised gift is reminding them they are appreciated. A personalised gift speaks to the soul and creates a deeper connection with the recipient and lets them know they are special to you.
Can't find exactly what you are looking for in the store? No worries, a personalised item can be customised almost close to exactly how you had it pictured in mind
Do you have that friend or family member that seems to have everything? Giving them a personalised item is on a whole new level and will show how thoughtful you are!
No one will ever gift the same item as you (unless if great minds think alike and two people end up shopping in the same store!).
If you want to make an impression, there is nothing that will give quite the impression than when the recipient is gifted with something personal. Eg. a bridal shower feels more personal when they receive 'future Mrs 'surname''.
Personalised gifts does not have to be expensive, they can be affordable beautiful pieces that makes a lasting impression and can be a sentimental keepsake for a lifetime.
When a personalised gift is received, it can be treasured for a lifetime. I can tell you for me personally, after three decades, I still treasure my baby wear which has my name on it! <3
What kind of personalised items do you think are the best gifts?

Affirmations are positive statements about yourself or an experience. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.
An excerpt taken from Wikipedia:
Affirmations in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment—fostering a belief that "a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything."
Our sub conscious decides most of the time on how we feel and act. Humans are hard wired to be cautious because of evolution where we are naturally inclined to stay safe and protected. So instead of feeling confident about for example, public speaking, we think of all the things that could go wrong BUT we can change the way we talk to ourselves with Affirmations.. Affirmations work when a certain phrase is repeated over and over again, this causes the sub conscious to start believing what you repeat you are. Like a mantra!
Ideally, Affirmations should be repeated on a regular basis, the more you repeat it to yourself, the more it will sink into your sub conscious mind.
Absolutely everybody! Big or Small!
They are important to help you achieve your goals and to also become the best version of yourself. There are many ways to incorporate Affirmations into your life, some of them are:
*Our affirmation light is a mesmerising way to help with this.
