Valentines Day

We don't know about you but to us the thought of valentines day makes us want to stay in our rooms and watch cheesy romance movies that make you cry every time (titanic anyone?) but even though we're single we want to make it as good a holiday as any. Ideally we would gather up all our girlfriends and have a girls night in or go out and party but if, like us, your friends all have boyfriends and plans for the night you're going to need an alternative, preferably one that doesn't involve tears! When we sat down to think of tips and tricks to survive valentines day we started thinking about what valentines day actually is, and really all it is is a chance to show someone that you love them but it doesn't have to be your partner, we should use it as an excuse to tell our family and friends how much we love them too because the truth is none of us do it enough. So, that's our tip for this valentines day, take the chance to tell the people you love that you love them! Bake them cupcakes, make them a card, cook them dinner, buy them a present, it can be anything, even the simplest things can make their day so much better, just let them know that you really appreciate them and everything they do for you. It's such an easy thing to do and you'll find that it will make your day better too (and distract you from feeling sad about all the happy couples around you.) So instead of spending valentines crying alone in your room eating that second tub of ice-cream (because we all know one isn't enough when it comes to the valentine day feels), spread the love and be around the people you care about and you'll have a much better day. Don't get us wrong, we love the traditional valentines day dinners and having pink and red hearts around the city so if you can have that for valentines go for it! Have that special day with your partner and enjoy every second of it but remember to show love to the people close to you too. <3

Happy Valentines,

Megan and Gabby
