Yes, that’s right you read the title right and I am more than excited to start doing this! Over the next eleven days I’m going to prepare you in my own way for Valentine’s Day! Keep in mind that this can be used by those with Valentine’s and those without! When you think of February do you think of love? Or at least does a colour come to mind? The colours that come to my mind are the obvious! Red, Pink and possibly white. But why? And how come Pink and Red are used to represent Valentine’s Day?

The colour red… represents intensity, passion & love. It’s a bold colour that symbols attention and unfortunately for our beautiful love Holiday the colour also makes those who WEAR it, appear to be a little larger than they actually are. HOWEVER, studies show that MALES prefer to see women in the colour red and find them more attractive when doing so. Get your dude a nice black suit and a RED tie because too much red is not good but just the right amount can set a mood and compliment you. It represents both good and bad releases excitement, energy & passion but can also lead to danger and agression. Red also represents the male’s urges and impulses. Yes, THOSE urges and impulses.

The colour pink… represents innocence and childlike nature. It is often thought of for newborns or femininity. It is also used to represent a girl’s pureness & virginity. It is also the colour considered “the colour of love” NOT passion/sex.

Did you know that back in the 1920’s PINK was a boy’s colour because it represented energy yet “boys” weren’t mature enough for the colour red yet? Girls wore blue because it was a soft mild colour. BEFORE the 1920’s did you know that PINK was used by only upperclass but became VERY popular in men’s hosiery and later became available to both upper and lower class?

The colour white… represents being pure and sacred or “clean”. It is a colour used for purity which is why brides wear white dresses to show that they are innocent. Keep in mind if you choose to go with white for Valentine’s Day that white is great because it goes well with EVERYTHING but, it also gets dirty really fast… kind of like virginity. HA! I won’t ignore that stupid pun because it’s very true.

Now don’t be alarmed for those of you who don’t have a Valentine this year OR those that are pure and don’t plan on getting down & dirty this February 14th! Over the next eleven days (if I’m counting right, but I’m probably not) I’ll be taking you through a WIDE range of things to get ready from eating chocolates to shopping! If you haven’t been shopping for your look yet, have these colours changed your mind on anything? Which would you rather wear for Valentine’s Day even if you don’t have a Valentine/aren’t doing anything?

Don’t be a party pooper! Valentine’s Day is for lovers and LOVE is amazing. If you don’t have anyone to love you, LOVE YOURSELF! Besides, once again, need I mention the CHOCOLATES ON SALE AT THE DOLLAR STORE ALL MONTH LONG? 😉 Just treat yourself ladies! I’ll be going into detail about why Chocolates & Roses are given as gifts tomorrow!

P.S. Does anyone know the result of Groundhog Day? I don’t pay attention ha! x
