It’s a Valentine’s special to be bombarded with feelings of romance, love and happiness. As humans, our five senses enable us to feel the emotions of the season – women arguably have a sixth sense, but I digress.
We love tasting our favourite food, looking at what is pleasant, smelling scents that evoke happiness, listening to music that makes us feel good and feeling skin-to-skin contact that comforts us. As a Valentine’s special, here’s a walkthrough to evoke your partner and you for a memorable Valentine’s Day this year.
Taste the love
Bring him/her to eat something nice, have a candlelight dinner and end off with sparkling wine and a box of dark chocolates. Sparkling wine contains serotonin, dopamine and opioid peptides, which are natural brain chemicals that make you feel happy. Dark chocolate contains endorphin,s which trigger a “happy and loved” feeling.
Lovely sights
Remember that place that he/she casually mentioned? Surprise them with a date there, appeal to the eyes. Take a stroll and enjoy the scenery – it’s something that’s guaranteed to improve moods. Moreover, spending quality time with your loved ones is priceless, and it’s how you make them feel at the end of the day.
Valentine’s special places to go:
– Gardens By The Bay: Gardens by the bay is a state-of-the-art indoor garden that gives you a breathtaking view of all the exotic flowers and plants.
– Singapore Flyer: Aboard this Asia’s largest observation wheel at dusk and experience the panoramic view of the city in all its lights.
Heavenly scents
Olfaction (sense of smell) is one of our most impactful senses. Also known as the sense of smell, aromas can have an immense effect on our emotional being. Buy a bouquet or a diffuser. A pleasant aroma would put him/her in the perfect mood for the occasion. Aromatherapy is a crucial step to take in achieving balance for healing, relaxation, and mental well-being.
The two most popular scents for aromatherapy include rose and lavender. Rose is thought to boost the feelings of love, compassion and devotion. Lavender evokes positive emotions. These are good scents to infuse into a romantic night to make your Valentine memorable.
Love listens
Kick back, relax and listen to songs that both of you qualify as “our song”. Listening to music you enjoy triggers joy by unleashing feel-good brain chemicals. Create a playlist filled with songs that you both love and start jamming away!
If you’re stuck on deciding what songs to include in your playlist, there are tons of playlists on Spotify/YouTube and here is our favourite.
Just a little touch
Pamper your partner today by indulging in a relaxing massage. Massages are known to have an abundance of benefits – promoting relaxation, increasing blood circulation and releasing muscle tension.
Get away from all the hustle and bustle on this romantic occasion, let you and your partner wind down and spend a lovely time together. Bring him/her to indulge in a massage session to end your Valentine’s Day romantically.
