I believe in a thing called Love.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! It’s one of my favorite holidays because I LOVE celebrating love. Whether you’re married, in a new relationship, or single, here are some Valentine’s Day ideas for everyone!
If you’re married:
Book at-home massages and cook dinner together in your robes! My husband and I did this last year and it was amazing. I booked our massages through the Zeel app. We got massages together in our living room with candles lit and romantic music playing. After that, we opened some wine and cooked shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta together in our bathrobes. It was so relaxing, but still felt like a special night.
If you’ve been dating for a while:
Splurge on that local restaurant you have always wanted to try together. I have a running list of restaurants I want to try in my phone! For Valentine’s Day this year, pick one at the top of your list and have a foodie experience in your neighborhood.
If you’re in a new relationship:
Plan a fun activity like seeing a show or concert together. This takes the pressure off planning anything too fancy and allows you to just have fun. When my husband and I first started dating, one of our favorite things to do was to go bowling. We always had a blast and felt like kids again just being silly and bowling the night away!
If you’re single:
Host a singles party! Invite your single friends and ask them to bring a single “plus one” who is interested in meeting new people. Make lots of fun, easy-to-eat appetizers (Trader Joe’s has a delicious selection of frozen apps if you don’t have time to cook!) Set up a bar area for your guests to serve themselves and make a signature cocktail to offer everyone as they arrive!
