♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I saw an article on the front page of Yahoo explaining how to add a ♥ to an email, post, tweet, you name it. And they had great answers…if you had a PC.  I do not.  I am an Apple girl and their instructions didn’t work on my Mac so, I did some digging.  And now I’ll share with you how to add that awesome ♥ symbol, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

If you are in a browser and typing, facebooking, or tweeting away, and you feel the urge to say how much you love something the following will get the point across…Let’s use some of my favorite things as an example…

“I {heart} chocolate!” <–notice the brackets, I {heart} these, but they are not needed.

“I also <3 a flowers!” <–when this started creeping up online I had no idea what it meant, I actually thought it was  a sideways bootie with a party hat on. Nope, it’s a heart using the less than symbol “<” and the number 3

And lastly,

“I ♥ pedicures!” <—to add the awesome actual heart symbol on a mac…while in the application, say twitter, post, facebook, just go to EDIT-Special Characters-Miscellaneous and there you will find a real deal ♥!

You can also click on the American Flag in the right corner on your laptop, then click “Show Character Palette” and insert your ♥!

Have fun!

(and yes this post was a small cryptic message to my hubby…babe, grab me some chocolate, flowers and a pedicure for Valentine’s Day and I’ll love ya forever!)
