” With proper investments, a lot of talent would be unearthed in this country, we have the talents, basically some labels are only focusing on male acts.

Valentines Day Ideas For Couple

Is it more important to love … or to be loved?

Most of us would agree with George Eliot’s words, “I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.”

Valentine’s Day is the occasion when you can experience both.

With a little help from our friends, here are 25 creative ways to tell your spouse, “I love you.”

On small pieces of paper, write down every kind of kiss that you can think of (examples: passionate, on the cheek, etc.). Then fill an inexpensive red felt bag with your “kisses” and give it to your spouse. Ask your spouse to pull several pieces of paper from the felt bag, and then give your sweetheart whatever kind of kiss is described.

Make a book about why you love your spouse and why you are thankful for him/her. The woman who sent this idea wrote, “He loved it! Said it was the best gift he has ever gotten. And it helped me to focus on the things I love about my husband and not his shortcomings.”

After enjoying a candlelight dinner for two at home, give your spouse a massage and watch a romantic movie. The woman who suggested this wrote, “Last Valentine’s Day when I got home from work, my husband … had our bedroom set up with a candlelit table for two. He is NOT a cook but he made an awesome meal … grilled steak, sautéed shrimp in lemon, garlic, and butter, a vegetable, and [he] bought a chocolate fountain that was flowing—surrounded by fresh fruit for dipping. After dinner he led me over to his homemade massage table. … We ended our special night with a romantic movie.”

Surprise your spouse with a special getaway together. The man who suggested this made reservations at a bed and breakfast, arranged for childcare, asked for time off from work for himself and his wife, and packed his and her bags. When he asked his wife to go to lunch on Valentine’s Day she was in for a wonderful surprise. “The little bit of effort I put into that weekend paid off huge for weeks to come.” It’s one of the best investments you could make in your marriage.Find an event near you.

If possible, go on a date with your spouse to a restaurant that you enjoyed when you first met. After you order your meal, take some time to write down favorite memories from the past year. Then share your lists.

Have 11 roses delivered to your wife, and then give her a 12th yourself while reading her a love poem.

Create an intimate Valentine’s Day evening at home, without the children. The woman who suggested this idea said that she and her husband “enjoyed planning the menu, shopping for the meal, and ultimately preparing the meal together. Cooking to soft, romantic music can really be a turn on! While dining, the same soft, romantic music is a wonderful mood-setter. Dinner was followed by just the two of us having the whole dance floor, our den, to ourselves. I won’t say what all this led to, but it was a truly romantic night that would not have happened at the local restaurant!”

Order food from a take-out restaurant and have a picnic for all the Valentines in your family on your living room floor. The person who suggested this said, “The kids look forward to this every year. When we tried to change it, they wouldn’t allow it … it has become a tradition. The kids see the value of family and a loving marriage.”

Privacy and weather permitting, watch a romantic movie on your balcony.
10. If you are separated across the miles, send a care package filled with things that are red.

Hide little heart candies in your spouse’s shoes, coat, car, etc. The woman who suggested this said that she’s been doing this for decades. “Now a couple of the grandkids help me with delight.”

Wives, show up at your husband’s office before lunch. Call him from the parking lot and tell him you are going to take him for a lunch rendezvous and that you will be waiting for him whenever he can take a break. Wear a nice outfit and tell him you have something sexy on underneath for when he gets home. Take him to a nice place for lunch and back to the office. Give him some great kisses telling him how glad you are to be married to him, and tell him you will be waiting for him when he gets home.

Fill a jar with Valentine candy and notes for your spouse. Examples of notes are: Good for a backrub, 10 kisses, etc. Notes could also express your love and respect: “I am so glad that God blessed my life with such a great husband like you.” Individually roll each note and tie it with a ribbon.

Surprise your spouse by taking a vacation day from work and enjoy Valentine’s Day at home. Have a relaxing morning together on the porch, deck, or patio. Then go to a favorite restaurant for lunch. The man who suggested this idea had also reserved a spa treatment and tanning session for his wife. “While she was doing that,” he says, “I went home and made her a special dinner.”

Write a poem for your spouse and frame it.
Make a special “14 Reasons I Love You” Valentine’s Day breakfast for your sweetheart. On his/her plate, leave a letter or card listing 14 reasons that you love your spouse.

After your spouse goes to bed, tape notes to his car’s steering wheel with reasons that you love him, or decorate the bathroom mirror with lipstick kisses or Valentine’s window clings.

Have fun on February 14, and remember: Love is not meant to be given and received just on Valentine’s Day. Instead, it’s to be practiced every single day of the entire year.

Life Is A Beach In Rwanda

Discover the joy of life at Rwanda’s beaches. It is one thing to love the beach; another to have a beach culture. You know a country’s citizens love the beach when you visit one on a Sunday afternoon to find thousands of bikini-clad folk, wearing designer shades, frolicking in the sand, and playing in the water.

But if you find, among this teeming crowd, hundreds of mothers carrying babies at their backs, teenage Muslim girls- wrapped up in hijabs- running up and down on the beach, and beggars and street children alternating their rounds of ‘work’ with diving and splashing in the water, then you have a people for whom the experience of going to the beach is a very part of the fabric of society; this is a Beach Culture, and Burundi has one.

Because it shares a large chunk of its southwestern border with Lake Tanganyika, Rwanda boasts some spectacular beaches along the shoreline of the world’s longest lake (It is 600km in length). No wonder the interaction with the lake is such a firmly fixed routine in the lives of the locals. It is also one you should not miss when you are in Burundi.

There are a number of nice places you can visit in Rwanda, where the atmosphere is great and the beaches are world-class. You could visit Bora Bora beach or the famous Hotel Club du Lac Tanganyika or even The Royal Palm Beach Hotel if you want a first-rate experience, with wireless internet, live performances from local bands or traditional musicians and great hotel restaurants with varied menus you can choose from when you come back, starving, from swimming in Africa’s deepest lake.

Alternatively, if you are the sort that likes to have happy locals milling about every which way, you can try out the other, the more low-key that boasts little except a bar and a decent waterfront. What they lack in a wine list and a variety of gins and brews, they more than makeup for in the diversity of the crowd. Check out, for instance, the “New Black and White beach”, and you will be overwhelmed by the sheer crowds of smiling locals who are just out to have some fun.

Everywhere you turn, you will see children running in the sand, lovers giggling over some whispered secret, adults seated in plastic chairs, smoking ‘Yes’ and ‘Intore’ cigs, young people playing pool in a nearby shelter, and the frenzied shouts of sweating youths dancing to the latest Swahili and French hits. The sheer joie de vivre of these places is as infectious as the bewitching beauty of the high-end places is enchanting. Both are experiences you should not miss.
