Well, it’s that time of year again! That time of year when its okay to eat heart shaped boxes upon boxes of chocolate, when bits of sugar are molded into little colorful hearts with sayings such as “be mine” or “cutie” printed on them (must be a very small stamp) and when it’s okay to give your significant other a stuffed animal just to say you care!
What is this day I’m talking about here? Well, if you thought it was your birthday, think again! Only unless good ‘ol V-Day falls on your birthday then you have an exception!
VALENTINES DAY is the one day out of the year where we are supposed to express our undying love to those we love! But, my question is, why only today? Has it really become acceptable to ONLY tell those we love how we truly feel about them in gift, song & dance on one single day? What about the other 364 days in the year? Oh I see, it’s to make us remember to tell our special someones that we care incase we forgot to on all other days! Oh, okay – I get it..NOT! Let’s make it a mission to express our feelings of l’amour, passion, be mine, I adore you, kisses, xoxos, hugs, even chocolate perhaps and maybe the occasional gifting if diamonds, more than once a year! Who’s with me? I knew it, you are all awesome!
In the meantime, Valentines day is right around the corner ( which I can’t believe! wasn’t it just NYE, Halloween….MY BIRTHDAY!? Time has gone by incredibly fast) meaning the thoughts of “What do I get my Boy Friend or Girlfriend” plagues us all! And for us single gals who want to feel the love (please don’t contemplate hanging from your shower rod as SJP once said in S&TC1) well “what do we get ourselves” to make us feel that “at least I love me” pops up too!
Here are my top ideas to gift yourself & your lover with this Valentine’s Day that will only add pounds to the scale when wearing them. Massive amounts of consumption need not apply!

Okay, maybe that one went a bit too far! But i’m sure someone out there will want to buy it and wear it with all the love they have? Why not! (Laughs)
What are your plans for Feb. 14th? A Romantic day planned with your snugglepuss, a night in with a tub of ice cream and The Vow, or a night out with the girls celebrating your singleness? How ever you wish to spend V-Day, I hope it’s filled with lots of pink, sweetness & happiness to fill your life for the year!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!
