6 Things to Do on Valentines Day and Avoid the Weather

It is cold in the North-East and  other places. Some of us just do not want to be outdoors and deal with the weather and everything else. Besides Netflix and Chill, Hulu and Hang, and Amazon Prime and Wine; Here are some indoor activity ideas! (They are also budget friendly too)

1. Start Scrap-booking or put together a Photo Album
Everything is online in today's world, and we just post and publish away.  By putting together a photo album or scrapbook you and your loved can print photos and reminisce on the good times. If you don't have printed photos or a printer to do so; spend time picking out the photos you would want to print for your album or scrapbook.

2. Make a Music Playlist
There are often times both of you want to listen to music. If you are like my boyfriend and I we DO NOT listen to the same music. It's an absolute warfare in the car over who controls the Bluetooth/Auxiliary cable. With this you can find mutual ground and music you both can tolerate.

3. Cook/Bake Together
If you are a couple that cooks or one person in the relationship can cook. It's a great activity to do together, spend some time teaching the other one to cook. If you guys are from different countries/continents, have some more fun and teach your partner how to cook food or a dish from your native country.

4. Watch the NBA All Star Game together
Given that either of you are interested in Basketball. Watch some basketball together. Make sure you scream at the television and yell really loudly. 

5. Meditate Together (or Pray Together) 

What's better than some good old meditation? You and your partner can try doing this together. If you're not into meditation and you are religious; you can also opt out for an extended prayer session.

6. Work Out Together

Try working out indoors together; get your body heated and hearts racing. And what's even more romantic the shower you can enjoy together afterwards?

Happy Valentines Day!

The Valentine's Day Self Massacre

Valentine’s Day is said to be the second busiest holiday of the year for greeting card companies and the saddest holiday of the year for the single people who aren't receiving them.

With the approach of Valentine's Day the question that people have been asking is, "What's so special about Valentine's day?" After all if you're in a relationship everyday should be filled with love and romance, so why the big fuss about this one day?  The approach of Valentine's day marks the beginning of what I like to call the singles massacre.

The image placed on Valentines Day has always been that of a happy couple and as we grow old this has been cemented in our minds forcing us to feel as if we aren't  living up to what's expected of us on valentines day if we aren't in a relationship.
Gone are the days when the main focus of Valentines Day was love. (Was there even such a day) Being in love has now taken over the definition of love itself. If Valentine's day is supposed to be about love and the  greatest love of all is said to be self love.
Why aren't there greeting cards for single people?
Why aren't there pictures of single people representing Valentine's day?
It's time for us to change the image of Valentine's day!
