I was one of those people that hated Valentine’s Day when I was younger, especially when I didn’t have a boyfriend or partner. I would jump on the hater’s bandwagon in school and my friend groups. Luckily, when I was in my early twenties, I had an older friend chastise me during one of my […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! This is, for all intents and purposes, my version of a pink, fluffy Valentine’s Day article. I was thinking of recommending some cool websites offering up amazing discounts on obligatory Valentine gifts but you all have seen the commercials with the giant teddy bear gift. That girl so over-pretends to love that bear. And, if you think an adult-sized onesie romper is just the thing to heat things up between you and the Mrs., then, a PajamaGram awaits you. Flowers and candy, blah, blah, blah. Purchasing those is so yesterday, you must get creative to make Valentine’s Day gift-giving count. Sky-written love notes or rooms brimming with flowers might be a good start.
