Yes, it's just around the corner.

Valentine's Day is an occasion to show your special someone that you care by giving gifts from the heart. But what do you do if the budget is a little tight this year?

Sometimes, retail gift ideas can cost a decent amount of money, but don't let that put you off from being able to get gifts for this special occasion. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of ways to not only save money but also do something meaningful this Valentine’s Day.

Here Are 5 Ways You Can Do Valentine's on A Budget This Year

1. Something To Do.

Most things that you and your loved one can do on Valentine's Day can be relatively inexpensive. Rather than taking your significant other out for a night on the town, consider a quiet homemade dinner at home and a rented movie. Sometimes low-key Valentine's Day celebrations are the most special. Listen to music, talk to one another about your dreams, and just enjoy each other’s company. Good conversation...

Have you ever noticed, how sometimes two people are so in love that they just seem to click? We often say they are a match made in heaven.

They are not necessarily people from perfect families, that have had ideal childhoods. Their satisfaction with each other isn’t a result of incredible levels of compatibility between their characters. 

Even shared values, goals, and mission in life don’t ensure relationship success.

Did you know that the most happily married couples, or even people in a loving and successful relationship, aren’t born with a special ability to create harmonious relationships?

How do they develop such a strong relationship?

You see it’s not the big stuff that matters the most.

It’s more about the small, simple, day-to-day habits that make all the difference.

Every successful relationship or marriage has some things in common.

5 Ways To Stop Overthinking About Things

Overthinking about situations can sometimes be inevitable. Whether it's about a significant life event, assignment deadline, the end of your degree or even things that might seem insignificant to others. Do you find yourself overthinking at times too?

Personally, I am a big overthinker!

I tend to pick apart and analyse every tiny little detail about a situation when something begins to bother me. I know it's not the best thing to...

All in just 12 minutes or less?

Researchers at Iowa State University recently did a very interesting study. They tested 3 different methods that could make someone happier. College students enrolled in the study were asked to walk around campus practising specific mental techniques that were later compared and assessed for effectiveness.

The 3 mental techniques were loving-kindness, interconnectedness, and downward social comparison. We'll look at this study today as we explore how we can apply some of what was learned from it, into our very own lives to increase happiness.

When Seema with Love re-opened on the 1st of May at Westfield Chermside, we heard firsthand from our ‘valued family’ (our customers), how many had been made redundant. Some were also uncertain whether their jobs would still exist after the current ‘lockdown’.

One night, as I sat down sharing the sad stories with Chris (who is also a coach to CEOs), he said something which I found both encouraging and interesting. You see, Chris has a unique vantage point to the current job crisis, having spent considerable time in the past few years coaching Ceos, entrepreneurs and successful business owners.

Chris suggested while there certainly may be uncertainty when...

13 Ways to Tame Anxiety When You’re In Self Isolation

Is staying at home driving our anxiety levels through the roof? With social distancing and the current restrictions placed on our movements, now more than ever we are finding ourselves isolated. The uncertainty around the immediate future and how it will affect us and our livelihoods means we are perhaps now more anxious than ever. So the question that comes to mind is how do we tame this beast?

Anxiety is a common affliction, and that’s not surprising. Way before this current pandemic, our day to day lives was much more demanding and complex than our brains were really accustomed to handling. Someone once said, “If pain is a symptom of a broken body then uncontrolled anxiety is a symptom of a broken mind”.

Consider for a moment all the expectations we place on ourselves. 

We want everyone to like us.
