Valentine History February 14th the day of LOVE? February has long been a month of romance. Every year on the 14th of February people from around the world shower their love ones with candy, flowers, chocolates and other lovely gifts. In many countries restaurants are booked to capacity, with excited couples ready to celebrate their relationships and enjoy togetherness through delicious cuisines. There is a young man or woman who isn’t keen to make the most of the day. Time and again, we have heard the name St. Valentine being spoken in this season.

But just who is this St. Valentine? Why is this month associated with love and romance?

The story of St. Valentine has many versions which all agree upon him being a bishop who held secret marriage ceremonies for soldiers in disagreement to Claudius II who had prohibited marriage for young soldiers. When Claudius II became emperor, he was of the view that married men were more emotionally attached to their families and will not make good soldiers. He believed that marriages made a man weak. So he issued a decree, forbidding marriages to guarantee quality soldiers.

What’s done in secret must come to light and it was only a matter of time before the Emperor came to know of Valentine’s secret marriages and he Kerri-Ann Reid

was arrested. A friendship was formed between Valentine and his jailor Asterius’ daughter. Valentine was said to have some saintly abilities and one of them granted him the power to heal. Asterius had a blind daughter and knowing of the miraculous powers of Valentine, he requested him to restore the sight of his blind daughter. On the day Valentine was sentenced to death he wrote a farewell message to Asterius’ daughter “From Your Valentine” a phrase was born.

Valentine is believed to have been executed on February 14, 270 AD. Thus February 14th became a day for all lovers and Valentine became its Patron Saint. Now that you heard, what are your views of this day?

Love in the Dance While most events may have a balance of single and committed people, singles parties simply raise the odds that person you are meeting is indeed single.

“Practical” dating strategy feel like extra help to some of us. We don’t want to acknowledge that we need outside assistance to meet someone.

I’m not sure what to think of practical methods. It could be really unhelpful, but I can’t seem to shake that “extra math help” feeling. Besides, if my dating skills are like my math skills, no amount of extra help could get me afloat.

What are your thoughts on practical ways of meeting people? Are you reluctant to follow routes that feel like “extra help”? Do you think it’s dangerous to set up an ideal way to meet people? What practical ways of meeting people have worked for you — online dating, getting set up, or other ways?

Any party is always a fun way to meet people but with a house party, everything is so much more in your control and it’s comforting to know that common friends are involved. So throw a fun little party, invite all your friends and tell them to invite their

friends (preferably single). You never know who you may end up meeting and if nothing, at least they’ll be grateful for the awesome party!

Concerts are a fantastic place to meet eligible men, especially if it’s your favourite performer. You will instantly have an interest in common and when you are a fan of something it’s so easy to bond with the other person. The connection sparks instantly, so try this place to meet eligible men and see who you meet!

Now, many guys just go to clubs to hook up. A lot of them aren’t necessarily looking for someone to date. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and that is the only reason nightclubs made it onto the list. You have to have an eagle eye, but if you spot this guy, you’ll be glad. He likes to dance and hang out and have a good time, but he isn’t the boy who’s only into ranking up as many one night stands as possible.

The practical dating approach does feel like additional help to some of us. It can be very useful as well as awkward because most persons don’t want to admit that they need help to meet someone. But in reality, parties do raise the odds of a single person meeting a soul mate. Any party is indeed an exciting way of meeting new people.

This was the first event of the year for the promotional group I.R.O.N.S Entertainment. On the 19th of January “Encore” was hosted by Club Privilege and had entertainment from top Djs like Zj Ice, Dj AliPatch and Flabba dabba. Encore ‘Twice as Nice’ was a super all inclusive party with a special two-for-one admission for college students; this was definitely a sweet deal for the students who were just getting off holidays. The

vibe started off slow but gradually hyped up as the Djs warmed up with more high energy mixes to put the patrons in full swing. Drinks were flowing all night and the crowd was moving right through till the end.

I.R.O.N.S will be hosting their annual summer event “Summer in Paradise”; this being its fourth year. Also anticipate “Surge” and another round for “Encore”.

My Valentine All this red Red and white Paint everything around me jet black Dark as night I’m the same girl you gave no delight All year round except tonight brother.....

Ain’t that right?

Shower me with roses They too will fade Like the love for me You now proclaim I am woman, all woman To be loved and cherished all the days of my life I see red when you only make one day right.

Shower me with Champaign Ain’t that a shame A daily sip is better than a bottle in a day What would life be like with only a day of rain?

Rain on me daily, I’d never complain.

All this red Red and white Surrounds me now and what a sight Tomorrow will appear with it’s regular view The roses will start fading How about you?

Please be my Valentine all year through!

SEX Nutriment Did you know that eating the right type of food can boost your sex life and increase your sexual pleasure?

A healthy relationship is comprised of good sex and eating certain foods can create sexual magic. Food is one of most effective ways to set off intimacy between partners and if dished out the right way, you will have to give in.

Chocolate For chocoholics, when it comes to sex this “drug” cannot be ignored. It contains an amino acid that increases the body’s endorphins and natural body anti depressants. It also causes an increase in blood flow all in the right places. It can be experimented with the use of whip cream or strawberry.

Fruits These are definitely one way to put a spark into love making. Banana which is rich in potassium gives lots of energy to boost the sex drive. Pears which are rich in vitamin E, and also apples, coconuts, grapes, oranges, papayas and plums all which sends your sex drive on a sensual ride. Vitamin B is also beneficial which encourages healthy sexual functions such as the raspberry which increases sexual stimulation and the strawberries. The seeds of both fruits, increases testosterone in men and gets the woman in the mood.

Vegetables The seed of a pumpkin is very good because it is high in zinc and a healthy amount of it does promote a healthy sex life for men. Other vegetables such as carrot, corn, spinach, cucumber, onion, garlic, ginger, fresh salad and leafy vegetable recovers the sex drive.

Nuts Nuts such as almonds are sex drive boosters because it contains a lot of vital fatty acids which helps to maintain a healthy and natural balance of the sex hormones. Certain nuts such as the Brazilian nut are ideal for men because it helps to keep the sperm cells healthy.

Fish and Meats These can aid in love making especially the oysters which are known for the richest source in zinc. Liver, fish, chicken and the yolk of an egg are rich in omega 3 which also aids in creating sexual magic.

Drinks What better way is there to intensify a night of passion than with a bottle of wine? Wines can be used to set a relaxed mood for sex. Red wines can be used to increase a woman’s libido and champagne is known to increase sexual performance.

Love Recipe Food plays an important role in the celebration of this holiday. Here are four recipes that will have your love one eating out of the palm of your hands.

There are few foods that people feel as passionate about like chocolate. This passion goes way beyond just love for “sweetness.” For the true chocoholic, just thinking about chocolate can bring to mind a pleasurable expression.

Here are a few recipes made with chocolate.

Brownie Recipe Ingredients: • 300 g (10.6oz) Dark Chocolate - melted • 240 ml (8.4fl oz)Rapeseed Oil • 350 g (12.3oz) Light Muscovado Sugar • 4 Eggs • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence • 150 g (5.3oz) Self-Raising Flour • 100 g (3.5oz) Cocoa Powder • 125 g (4.4oz) Chopped Chocolate • 125 g (4.4oz) Peeled, roasted and chopped hazelnuts • 100 g (3.5oz) Fresh Raspberries Method: 1. Beat the rapeseed oil, sugar, eggs and the vanilla essence.

2. Add the melted chocolate and beat until smooth.

3. Sift the Cocoa powder and the flour and stir into the mix.

4. Add the chopped chocolate pieces and fold in.

5. Place into a lined baking tray.

6. Carefully place the raspberries into the chocolate mix and press in.

7. Bake at 180 °C for approximately 30 minutes until crusty, but soft and gooey in the centre.

8. Allow to cool before cutting.

Individual Chocolate Melting cake Ingredients: • 10 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter • 5 eggs • 1/2 cup sugar • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder • 1/8 teaspoon salt • caramel sauce • coffee ice cream Method: 1. Heat oven to 325° F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray.

2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat.

3. In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and melted chocolate. Mix with a spoon until well blended.

4. Divide the batter evenly into 8 muffin tins and bake until the cakes have just cooked through, about 15 minutes.

5. The cakes will still look a bit moist on top.

Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes.

6. Serve warm with the caramel sauce and ice cream.

The Perfect Valentine Gift Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and finding the right gift for a man is never as easy as it is to find gifts for women. Even though many Jamaicans don’t celebrate this time of year many still do expect to get gifts, brought to the movies or attend some of the parties put on for this day. So to spare you the trouble of a tedious search, I have to 1.

Colognes are my favourite kind of gift to give to a man for any occasion.

Really great cologne tells a lot about a man. Therefore get him something worth it such as Armani Gio Cologne, Acqua di Gio, Curve for Men and Dolce&Gabbana for Men, to name a few.

2.

If she’s a fashionista then certainly perfection and quality are at the top of her list. A designer handbag would be an ideal gift for this chica. Whether it be a Coach, Versace or Fendi she will adore you.

3.

If he’s into technology, there is no need to worry. In this day and age with the advancement of technology, there is a wide variety of gifts you can get him.

If your purse and the cards allow and you know he doesn’t have an iPad or a tablet, why not invest in one of them.

They are awesome and save a lot a time when using the net.

put together a list of the top EIGHT gifts to give to your partner. What you get, gives reflection on how you see your partner and the relationship. Get something creative, fun, thoughtful and appropriate for the amount of time you’ve been together as couple.

Have fun!

4.

Her feet would look adorable and sexy in a pair of Bridget Sandals or sizzling in a pair of heels by Jimmy Choo.

Let her feet do the talking especially in the bedroom with her heels on, your wildest dreams just came through.

5.

If he already has an iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Tablet but nothing to seal them in, give him something unique leather case with his name or initials engraved on it. Make it personal.

the movies. It could be one of the best date nights out with your babe.

8.

Let me cater to you…pampering your spouse has never been better. Skin products are never a popular choice but giving him/her a spa treatment at home using the professional products or just the bath time goodies are an inexpensive way of setting the right mood for the night’s activities especially if he/she had an awful day at work.

6. A blissful aroma in an exquisite bottle. Men you cannot go wrong with this one. A perfume of favourite fragrance. She will be surprised that you even know her signature scent and if she doesn’t have a favourite, here are a few you can try Chanel No. 5, Dolce&Gabbana for women, Calvin Klein Obsession and Coco Chanel.

7. Anyone up for a really romantic movie or maybe some action? There is nothing wrong in spending the money this time around to take your man to Kerri-Ann Reid

Sign’s he is a keeper Not every man is ‘relationship signs might help you to know if he is a material,’ some men are just plain good candidate for a long term duds. So how will you know you have boyfriend/ husband. found a keeper? These are my top five

Keeper#1 He is there when you need him the most, during your mood swings, personal crises, no makeup on, when you are sick, snotty and bedridden.

The most romantic thing is to see him wiping your snotty nose, rubbing your belly and kissing you.

Keeper#2 He remembers the smallest things about you. Like how you rather your burger meal or the hand you write with to name a few. It is not all the time the big things matter because small things do count and if he does follow up on what you say, it means he pays special attention to details which means he’s a keeper.

Keeper#3 He’s your biggest fan. He sends a bouquet of flowers to you after a presentation, he motivates you to work on your ideas or dream on a constant basis and he even gathers information for you without you even

asking. No matter how small the idea is, he is there to cheer you on and gives you full support. It means he supports your goals and dreams. Some people would think it is some sort of fairytale but in fact this is reality.

Keeper#4 He is NOT possessive. Noticed “not” in BOLD this is a huge red flag if your man is possessive. It is not cute! Nothing is wrong if he calls you once in a while to find out if you are safe but every minute as the clock tick. NO! This type of behaviour requires you checking in, seeing who you are with and why, expecting you to be with only him, restricting you from your day-to-day activities and separating you from persons that would have normally been a part of your life before you met him. If this happens get out QUICK. Do not hesitate because that type of behaviour will only escalate and get worse. He is insecure and definitely not looking out for your best interests. You deserve to be respected and be happy.

Keeper#5 He puts you first. To make you happy is his ultimate goal and it’s the simple things he does. The spontaneous night out to Devon house or a restaurant, stay with you at the hair dresser while you are getting your hair done, spending time with you wherever you are rather than playing games with his friends or cooking your favourite meal. It does not always take money or materialistic things. He doesn’t have to buy you, but rather, he just simply loves you in his own way. He’s happy when you are happy.

He makes you the best person you can be, totally confident and feeling fabulous everyday!
