Feel The Love

Love it or hate it, single or betrothed, St Valentines day is almost upon us. Try one of my “special seven” suggestions to make it a fabulous day for everyone!

1. Pheromonic: Some believe pheromone-like perfumes attract others by intensifying our natural pheromones. Well, its worth a try… Molecule 01 (unisex) “lends an indefinable allure to the wearer”, available from Harvey Nichols. (RRP £64.50)

2. Girls Night In: Get the girls together and head to the Hotel Du Vin and Spa in Harrogate.

3. C is for Chocolate: Yes, we are allowed actually, because it does have health benefits. It has been said that chocolate has antioxidant qualities and also increases our serotonin levels, making us feel happy. Hurrah!
