alentine’s Day — the most iconic day of the year for romance… unless you’re away from your partner. Or broke. Or the sitter cancels last minute. Or you just simply don’t have a relationship to celebrate. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the perks of Valentine’s Day outside of the typical arrangements!
IF YOU ARE SINGLE… Take advantage of the holiday to spoil yourself, or invite a friend or group of fellow singles to join you! Whether it’s one or one dozen people, dedicate the day to indulgences that remind you what love’s all about. 1. Cook a fancy meal with as many courses as your heart desires (and in any order – AKA, dessert first) or have a potluck for others to showcase their baking skills! Bonus for anyone who incorporates those little candy hearts with messages into their recipe. 2. Check out a movie at your local theater during matinee hours, or guilt-free binge-watch your favorite show from home ( just avoid keeping track of the number of episodes watched). 3. Clean up your local parks and trails while getting a breath of fresh air, head to an animal shelter to walk dogs and cuddle cats, or make and distribute care packages for the homeless. You don’t need to be in a relationship to create and share love! 140 |
