 VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #1 A love knot is known as a symbol of eternal love and commitment; it's intertwined loops have no beginning and no end. This love knot used to be made of ribbon or drawn on paper to show the person you'd love them eternally, but now these knots have are often available in the form of jewellery, so your sentiments can be immortalised and worn at all times. #loveknots #foreverlove #infinityandbeyond #nowandforever #valentinesfacts #foreverandaday VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #2 What's your favourite non-English word for love? We express love through many languages, but the Chinese seem to have a very poignant character for love that seems to sum up this sentiment perfectly. "Ai" the traditional Chinese character for love consists of a heart inside another character which means to "accept," "feel," or "perceive". In a more literal translation, one could read it as one hand offering his/her heart to another. #iloveyou #aishiteru #woaini #valentinesfact VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #3 Have you been told that you wear your heart on your sleeve? Are your emotions so transparent that everyone knows exactly what you're thinking and feeling? Well, in a world where we try to put up such a strong facade, consider it a good thing! The origins of this adage is sweet; boys in the Middle Ages used to write names of girls to see who would be their Valentine, and then wear their name pinned to their sleeve for a week, to let the world know of their feelings. Boys, could you do that today? Someone should start a business customising t-shirts with names in hearts on sleeves! Any takers? #valentinesfact #wearingheartonsleeve #newbusiness #showyourfeelings VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #4 Cupid is a household name and when it comes to love, we throw his name around a bit. When we go through heartbreak, Connie Francis' lyrics sit on the tip of our tongue and we unleash fury on the poor little guy: "Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy; I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly, I'm in love and it's a crying shame, And I know that you're the one to blame"... But before we hound him with abuse, let's remember that he's the son of a goddess, and all he wants to do is bring us a little love! #valentinesfacts #stupidcupid #cupid #conniefrancis #mandymoore VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #5 "Eat cheese before bed and you'll get bad dreams!" That's what they say nowadays, right? Well we hope that women in the medieval period sure knew about this, otherwise they might have had a not-so-dreamy visit from Prince not-so-charming! Women used to believe that eating odd foods before their slumber on Valentine's Day would enable them to foresee their future partners in their dreams. Now who's up for deep fried tarantula? Hold the cheese! #weirdandwacky #sweetdreams #valentinesfact #princecharming VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #6 Valentine's Day in 1876 was a remarkable one. Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone - a device to which we owe much gratitude. Because of it, we have the ability to call and keep in touch with our loved ones. Today, thanks to the seed he planted, we have the capability of writing emails to those we cherish, network with our friends and capture every moment with our smartphones. That device you're holding in your hands right now - pick it up and call someone you love today. Don't text them. Call them. Listen to their voice and share some love. While you're at it, don't forget to thank your stars for Mr Bell. #valentinefacts #callsomeoneyoulove #pickupthephone #ijustcalledtosayiloveyou #ringmahbell #thankgodfortechnology VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #7 The "World's greatest lover" Casanova had it all wrong! It is said that he ate plenty of chocolate for his stamina to "please his ladies", but we think a ruby or two would've probably pleased his ladies more! No diabetes and more happy women - that's what we say! #casanovawaswrong #worldsgreatestlover #valentinefacts #diamondsareagirlsbestfriend #blingisthething #howtopleaseawoman VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #8 VALENTINE'S DAY FACT #1 A love knot is known as a symbol of eternal love and commitment; it's intertwined loops have no beginning and no end.
