Breakfast In Bed
It really is the little things that mean a lot, and what is better than breakfast in bed? This will put your partner in a great mood from the start of the day; they will definitely get out of the right side of the bed. Why not be creative and make heart shaped pancakes of fried eggs with using a special cutter. Check out your local discount store for some cheap Valentine’s Day themed plates and glasses; they are guaranteed to put a smile on your lover’s face!
Post It Notes
Why not make a really romantic gesture that is sure to make your partner feel special by leaving sticky notes around the house. Write notes about your feelings and favorite things about your special person. Fill a page of sticky colourful notes with loads of romantic gestures and stick them in the fridge, wardrobe, on the walls, on the door handle. You can cut them in different shapes if you wish like a heart, circle, flower, etc.
You’ve Been Framed
The two of you probably have hundreds of couple photos taken and collected over the years. But where are they all, stored away on your desktop, Facebook or in the back of a shelf? They are probably just sitting around collecting dust. Well we reckon that it is time to do something about it. A framed photo can make such special gift for your significant other, or why not compile a photo album in chronological order of your time together? Another idea is printing different pictures of you together and forming a heart shape on the wall. We promise you that your partner’s heart will melt when they see all the thought and love that has gone into this gift.
Whether you have been lovers since a school age, university or it is a newly sparked romance, it is always important to make that special effort on Valentine’s Day. If you have been with you partner for many years and have kids, it doesn’t mean you should feel less excited about this special day for lovers. Take a day off for yourselves – leave the kids in childcare for a day or with someone you trust and feel young again!

Put a Spring in Your Step
Feet are often the foundation upon which our entire physical lives are based. Any activity that requires standing or squatting, such as walking, running, and cycling, requires your feet for stability and balance. Despite how important feet are, they are often neglected and ignored because they are so often hidden away under socks and shoes. Taking proper care of your feet will keep them looking clean, soft, and presentable, and it will also help ensure good foot health and overall health. The best way to take care of your feet includes keeping up good hygiene practices, eating right and taking care of your body, and addressing pain and medical issues that could cause problems.
Keep your feet clean.
Wash your feet every day with warm water and a mild cleanser. Even if you don’t shower each day, take a few minutes to wash your feet in a sink or tub. Avoid soaking your feet, however, as this can strip away natural oils.
Washing your feet daily will keep your skin clean and bright, prevent odour, and can prevent corns, infections, ingrown toenails, and calluses.
Exfoliate and scrub.
For softer feet, remove dead skin cells and improve circulation by gently scrubbing your feet every day with a pumice stone. Focus especially on your heels and toes. Don’t scrub too hard, or this will promote a thick and protective layer of skin to grow.
Keep your feet dry and your socks clean.
After you wash your feet, swim, shower, or get your feet wet, thoroughly pat them dry with a clean towel. Be especially careful to dry the area in between your toes. Change your socks every day, and always put on clean socks after washing your feet.
Socks and feet that are dry and clean are the best defence against foot odour.
Moisturize daily.
Keeping your feet moisturized will keep the skin soft and supple. After you wash and dry your feet, massage your favourite moisturizer into the skin before putting on clean socks.
Don’t moisturise between your toes. If this area stays damp or wet, it can lead to fungal growth and infection.
Take care of your nails.
Cut your toenails regularly, but never too short. If your nails are too short, dirt and fungus can get in between the skin and nail and cause an infection. Clean under your nails with a nail brush, clean toothbrush, or a rubber or wooden manicure stick. Avoid ingrown nails by cutting your toenails straight, not at an angle or rounded at the edges. To smooth the edges down after trimming, use an emery board and file gently in one direction only.
Nail polish is acceptable to use on healthy toenails once in a while, but don’t apply polish to unhealthy nails or to cover up discoloured nails— this could be a sign of infection and covering it with polish will prevent it from clearing up.
Eating for Foot Health
Consume plenty of calcium. Everybody knows that calcium helps to build strong bones, but many people don’t realize that osteoporosis, or bone loss, often shows up first in the feet. No matter your age, your body and feet need between 1,000 and 1,300 mg of calcium per day to stay strong and healthy. Good dietary sources of calcium include: • Dark green vegetables, such as kale, spinach, bok choi and broccoli • Edamame, soybeans, and white beans • Figs and oranges • Sardines and salmon • Almonds
Get enough vitamin D. V
itamin D is another necessary daily nutrient, in part because it helps our bodies absorb the calcium we need for strong bones and healthy feet. On a daily basis, we need between 400 IU to 1,000 IU of vitamin D. The main source of vitamin D is sunlight, but there are also dietary sources, including: • Mushrooms • Fortified orange juice, almond milk, tofu, breakfast cereal, and oatmeal • Liver • Mackerel and canned tuna
If you have any concerns regarding your feet talk to your GP or local Podiatrist or Chiropodist.
