Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Whether you spend Valentine’s Day alone, with friends, with your significant other or any other way, Valentine’s Day is all about spreading the love. Here are some great ideas on how you can spend the holiday:  

1. Have a Nice Dinner

While this is probably the most clichĂ© option, having a nice dinner on Valentine’s Day with someone you love (significant other, friends, roommates, family, etc) is a great way to wind down and enjoy great company! Whether it’s going to a nice restaurant or cooking a meal, be sure to not forget the dessert!

2. Have a Rom-Com Marathon

Sometimes snuggling up on the couch with some great snacks is really the perfect night. For Valentine’s Day, Rom-Coms are probably the most fitting genre. Other Valentine’s Day themed options that are NOT Rom-Coms are themed episodes from your favorite sitcoms like Parks and Recreation or The Office!

3. Plan a Galentine’s Day 

Although Galentine’s Day should be celebrated on February 13th, it still falls in line with Valentine’s Day planning. What is better than spending some time with your best gal pals? It could be a boozy brunch, a spa day or anything in between. The most important part of the day is that you get to celebrate being best friends!

 

4. Have a Self-Care Session

Face masks? Check. Bath bombs? Check… Pamper yourself and celebrate you on this day of celebrating love. It’s truly important to love yourself and a good way to start is by clearing your mind, relaxing and taking a break from the world. Self-care can mean different things to different people, so be sure to do what makes you happiest!
