Love Pills
Idea suggested by Ximena de la Serna.
Ingredients: A small transparent glass jar with a lid. Capsules like those found in many medications, preferably transparent. Obtaining them is easier than it seems at first. You might have some expired medication of this type at home. Other alternatives are: buying some candy that uses the same presentation, purchasing them at a pharmacy, or asking for them at a pharmacy school. Strips of paper no wider than the closed capsule.
Preparation:
1) Empty the capsules (if they weren't already). 2) Write phrases of love, support, happiness, etc., on the paper strips. 3) Carefully roll the strips so that the text is inside. On the outside of each roll, carefully write a representative word of the message contained in that strip. For example, if you wrote 'I miss you so much, but we're always together' on the strip, on the outside, you might put: 'Unity', 'Love', 'Hope', or a similar word. The idea is for the person to know what type of pill they're going to 'take' before opening the capsule. 4) Encapsulate each little message in a transparent capsule. 5) Once the encapsulation process is complete, place all the pills in the glass jar with a lid and label it 'Love Pills'.
With these simple steps, you'll have a wonderful surprise ready. In case you only have opaque capsules available, attach a small strip to the outside of each capsule with the representative word of the message it contains.
We encourage you to put the idea into practice because, although it's elaborate, it turns out beautifully. These pills may not cure love sickness (that's still yet to be discovered), but we're sure that regular consumption of these pills will keep your relationship in great shape.
