Valentine’s Day February 14, 2013 GET INKED FOR THE ANIMALS What hurts more — getting inked up or being struck by the arrow of a flying cherub? It’s tough to say, but a downtown Kamloops tattoo parlour is getting in on the Valentine’s Day spirit with a unique Valentine’s Day offer. “Any tattoos that are done that day, half of the proceeds will be given to the SPCA,” said Denise Leigh, co-owner and manager of Sakred Skin, located at 320 Victoria St. There’s one catch: The ink job has to be lovey-dovey in some way. Leigh used the examples of a heart, the name of a significant other or a couple’s matching tattoos. “Some people might want to just be spontaneous and come in — a spur-of-themoment-type thing,” she said. Here, Leigh gets stenciled with sharpies by tattoo artist Cye Delaney. Dave Eagles/KTW

No need to be lonely on lover’s day Valentine’s Day can conjure up feelings of loneliness for those without a mate. But, being alone is cheaper, easier and probably better than going out on some random date, or being with a person you’ve been meaning to break up with for months. If you don’t have a date, don’t stay at home and pout. Here are some ideas to help you celebrate the day of love: 1. Plan well in advance to do something that will not place you in the path of cooing couples. Even if you usually like dining out alone, do something else on Valentine’s Day. 2. Resist the temptation to turn off your phone and crawl into bed early. Book a deep-tissue massage at a fantastic spa, followed by a manicure and pedicure. Host a fondue party or a potluck at your house or grab a few single friends and book a sightseeing flight over your city. 3. Do you know a couple with children who never go out because they just don’t feel they can afford a babysitter? Offer them a free night of babysitting and let them enjoy a romantic night out. 4. Nothing spreads the love faster than doing a little volunteer work. Take time to remember your good fortune and learn about how you can help improve the lives of children living in poverty through
gone wild
a non-profit organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (ccfcanada.ca). 5. If you are single, but would rather not be, think about what is standing in the way of you and a new relationship. Find ways to work on becoming the person your dream partner would fall in love with. Start therapy. Take up yoga. Take action to change the world. It is into the fullest lives that love is most likely to fall. newscanada.com
