Happy Valentine's Day, Darlings!Without any order we can name health, a place to live, work, a purpose – the list goes on. Then the little thing: nature, music, a good book or movie and ZOOM! The list goes on. What to watch, read and do on Valentine's Day (for both genders)I talked with my hubby about a Valentine movie selection. We both agreed that Scent of a Woman is sexy and sensual, plus it has a meaningful ending. Al Pacino earned an Oscar for his role in this film. Here is a taste depicting the tango scene. Columbian novelist Gabriel García Márquez, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, wrote Love in the Time of Cholera, published in 1985. The 2007 movie is available on Amazon Prime. Having visited Spain and, later, living two years in Mexico, I am very fond of Spanish-speakers’ culture. The book was one of President Clinton’s favorite. And he was my favorite president! The movie’s happy ending in an earlier pandemic gives us hope for the present. Modern commentators are enthusiastic: "Gabriel García Márquez depicts love as an infectious disease. Must we quarantine from it?" – Of course, Márquez never had Zoom. 😊 We get around our quarantines. We are resilient and overcome anything! I thought some of you would enjoy a lighter video from times when Valentine’s Day was about sensual chocolates, flirt -- not COVID slippers and pajamas 24x7. TV New Zealand did a video about me called "Love Doctor's Sweet Valentine from my past business, Mamor Chocolates New Zealand. (or you can see me in my Szalon in this video) Back in NZ, I had just left my fancy corporate job, and established my own dream company: making chocolates. TV made me the most famous chocolatiere in New Zealand! How? You'll see at the end of the video I am sitting in a bathtub bubbles with chocolate and champagne, and teaching my lady viewers how to get their man’s attention…I know, I know, it is not on everyone’s mind just now, but perhaps can get you laugh. Or smile. Or shake your head. Whatever, it is a diversion from COVID monotony for Valentine’s Day, I hope. Exercise before dinner!EXERCISE! Keep the doctor away and banish the guilt so you can eat a wide variety of food. These days, I do 1-2 hours from this video. The sessions offer an intermediate-level mix of yoga, pilates and core exercises. My husband is partial to Les Mills On Demand. Now, I'm sure you are all waiting for Hanna's latest recipes for February, designed especially for your Valentine's Day.What to Eat on Valentine’s Day from Diet DesiresAphrodisiac Salad with Pomegranate |
