One great thing about New Year is that it brings with it a barrel full of opportunities to do little favors for every one around us and especially our loved ones! So let’s take this moment to see how you can make this New Year really memorable for your special one.

The threshold of the New Year brings with it great hope and a dawn of unlimited happiness and success for us. And in order to ensure that everything in the New Year happens just as you’ve desired, you must begin it with thoughts and action most positive and healthy. Forget all the differences you’ve been confronting with your partner so far. Forget the times when you thought that you’ve been misunderstood. Instead pledge that you’ll become more understanding for your partner so that if any unlike thing happens, you can make a more patient move rather than a giving a hasty reaction.

Begin the New Year with absolute positivity in your heart and a promise to herald only good times in your life and those around you. And what can be a better way to do it than planning a beautiful surprise for your beloved in a most special way! If you want to really break the ice you can send him cards each day of the week accompanied by a small gift with a different message on it each day. Some cards can be serious, some funny and some emotional or romantic. Choose the gift according to the mood of the message you are writing in the card. And keep the brightest gift and the card of all for the special day .i.e. the New Year’s Eve!
 
You can do all of this by preparing a day-by-day calendar and then deciding what to do at which day. In the message you can tell him why you love him so much. And to make it more realistic you can narrate some of the funniest, romantic and the silliest moments you have spent together.

And finally on the d-day, you can make it big by inviting him to your house but not giving him the least idea about your plan that day. A great way of celebrating this day with him could be having a Jacuzzi bubble bath filled with rose petals followed by a candle lit dinner. You can place a can of strawberries with a bottle of wine on your table to set the mood for a perfect evening. A weekend getaway can also make for a great way to spend the weekend together.

The idea is to enter the New Year with your romantic best so that you stay away from all the blues and glitches and make the most of it. Wish you all the best and a bright and vivacious New Year!

HUG is just a three sweet letter word but is regarded as the best medicine to heal broken hearts. A beautiful quote by Shel Silverstein
“I will not play at tug o’ war
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs….”

Sometimes, hugs are a romantic exchange. A hug may also be exchanged as a sign of support and comfort. A hug can be a demonstration of affection and emotional warmth, sometimes arising out of joy or happiness at meeting someone. Hugs are an important expression of affection. By hugging someone, you remind them that you care about them and support them. If you’re angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It’s hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that’s precisely what happens when we hug each other. Here are few steps to give a good hug to your loved one –

• Approach the person

Friend Hug (girls): Approach caringly, sometimes humorously, and smile.

Friend Hug (guys): Approach quickly, usually not looking them in the eye.

Lover Hug: It doesn’t matter who starts this; either can make it just as romantic. When approaching, put your hands on their shoulders and look them in the eyes. Say you love them, how much you care for them, and how much you are loving every second with them. Then fall into each other and hug with all your heart.

• Embrace. Lean forward and wrap your arms around the person.

Friend Hug (girls): Close your eyes and think about how much you love your friend when hugging. Press as much as you feel like. (But don’t squish!)

Friend Hug (guys): Embrace strongly, and clap each other on the top of your backs. If it’s an emotional moment, keep in the hugged position for a brief moment and do not clap each other’s backs.

Lover Hug: Extend your arms toward him and hold them around his neck and shoulders. Lean as close as possible and press your torso against his. Avoid holding your arms below his shoulders and/or embracing strongly and tensely.

• Don’t hug too tightly. The best way to judge how tight or loose to hug is to let whomever your hugging tells you by how hard they squeeze. If they are soft, be soft back; if they like bear hugs and squeeze tightly, do the exact same back (but don’t suffocate him/her).

• Don’t let go too early. A hug is a powerful way to communicate your caring for another person, as it can feel great and greatly improve one’s mood. If someone hugs you, they may want a long, loving hug (maybe they are upset or down), so just go along with it and hug them until they let go or loosen their hold.

• HELPING TIP
Be welcoming when you hug. If either of you requested the hug, then be warm and loving and just make it feel like the person you’re hugging is safe from anything else and that you and whoever are the only people that matter at the moment.

A hug is worth a thousand words and is the shortest distance between friends. Sometimes it’s better to put love into hugs than to put it into words. A hug can break down barriers that sometimes words cannot do. At times, it can speak more than any words can say. We bond with a hug. We find comfort with a hug. We greet and separate from each other with a hug. We establish human contact and interaction with a hug. The beauty of a hug is in its simplicity. The gesture towards another human being, known or unknown is easy. It costs nothing but a simple act of caring and kindness.
