Almost every store is being filled with red, pink and heart decorations. The shelves are starting to provide temporary homes for teddy bears waiting to be bought and brought to their permanent homes. Flowers are sitting idle on their cool spots ready to be purchased and displayed in beautiful vases. The chocolates are ready to be devoured to sweeten another person’s day.
Yup! You guessed it! February is here and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Don’t have a date or a significant other to spend it with? Don’t even sweat it! It’s the season of love, which means you have to show your love and appreciation to someone that you, well you know, love. But that someone doesn’t have to be your special person! Whether it be your best friend, girlfriend, boyfriend or family, how will you spend Valentine’s Day?
If you have absolutely no idea how you’ll be spending such a lovely day, here are some fun and cute ways you can spend V-day:
- Go out on a typical Valentine’s day date — wear a nice outfit, reserve a table for two (or maybe even a group) at Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Benihana's, PF Chang’s or wherever your heart—or tummy—desires!
- Maybe you’re not feeling a formal date and like to keep things simple — prepare a nice home-cooked meal, or maybe just order take-out if cooking isn’t your thing. And after your tasty meal, rent one of those classic rom-com movies and just enjoy a nice and cozy V-day night!
- If you want to keep things simple but want to go out at the same time, prepare a picnic — choose a nice spot, maybe a park or the beach and just sit down, enjoy the food and the scenery!
- If ya'll are the moviegoers type — take your significant other, or maybe your friends and enjoy a day at the movies! I hear "Deadpool" is out this Valentine’s day — or maybe if you like to get freaked out then "The Boy" might be the movie for you.
- Enjoy a relaxing day at home — sometimes you just want to go out and enjoy the world, other times you just want to stay home in bed all day long! There’s something about staying in bed all day in your pajamas with your significant other that sounds so much better than going out to a fancy dinner. If you’re like me and find happiness in simple things, then this one is definitely for you!
Valentine’s Day is such a great day to surround yourself with the people you love and love you right back! I know some aren’t as excited, but maybe you just need to be in on a few tricks to really enjoy this day! Like I said, V-day isn’t just for you and your partner, it's for you and everyone you love, so go out there and enjoy this day because there’s something about this day that makes everything special and a little bit sweeter.
