Love, actually
A close relationship with your parents in your early teen years may be associated to having a conflict-free, satisfying adult love life, say researchers from Montclair State University.

Recipe for romance
It seems that most of us plan on doing a little something on Sunday to celebrate Valentine’s Day. And if you’re still scrambling around for a gift, here are few cheap and chic ideas you’ll both enjoy that’ll keep those home fires burning long after February 14th has come and gone:
Pick up some luxe bedding to cozy up in together. PC Hotel Border Duvet and Sham Set, $49.
Light up your boudoir with several of these tealights and let the jasmine and patchouli essential oils — aphrodisiacs when it comes to aromatherapy — set the tone for the evening. Dirt “Love Machine” tealight, $2.25 each, Pistachio.
Get creative when it comes to dessert — your body serves as the canvas and “plate” for this sweet treat. Booty Parlor Melt, $20, www.beautymark.ca.

The key to finding love
Cathy Dailey sterling silver heart
150 women and 155 men were asked to read short profiles (each accompanied by a photograph) of members of the opposite sex and then asked how willing they’d be to have short- or long-term relationships with them. Some profiles contained interests linked to kindness, such as “I volunteer at a food bank,” and “I enjoy helping people.”
Both men and women were significantly more willing to have long-term relationships with the profiles containing kindness traits than they were to the profiles that were neutral.
That’s not that surprising. One interesting tidbit? Men were much less interested in short-term relationships with altruistic women. (So if you’re not into just having a fling, ladies, play up all of your charity work!)
Just something to keep in mind on your next speed-dating night or when writing your online profile…
