Worried about getting a bouquet from the supermarket for Valentine’s Day? Then point your guy in the direction of this little trinket from YSL.

INSIDER TIP

With fewer flavanols than dark, milk chocolate isn’t a top choice. But you can pump up the benefits by going for a bar with a medium to high level of cacao (around 40 per cent) and some nuts or dried fruit for a boost of healthy ingredients.

IT'S LEAP YEAR LADIES. YES, IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET DOWN ON BENDED KNEE AND POP THE QUESTION.
The SHAPE team has decided that there are three upsides to this scenario. Not only can you make sure that you a) have a decent proposal instead of a muttered 'how’s about it' in front of the TV, b) you get the rock you always dreamt of and c) you’re going to be looking hot when it happens, instead of in your tracksuit bottoms sporting hair that should have really been washed yesterday.

Yes, with matters of the heart, sometimes, it’s a good idea to pay attention to the details. However, during the month of romance, your favourite health and fitness magazine couldn’t help but think about the matters of the heart of a more physical nature. What shocked us recently was the amount of heart disease stories hitting the news. Not only did a young mum lose her life when skiing with her family, but even Kevin Federline was rumoured to have suffered a tremor when filming a reality TV show in Australia. While we’re used to looking for the signs of other diseases such as breast cancer, heart disease seems a little overlooked even though it’s the biggest killer of women. This month, we feature three women who fought this shocking illness. Read this potentially life-saving report and find out how you can take steps to put your health first.
