Romance isn’t for everyone and if it’s not for you then use this time to celebrate other forms of love. Galentine's Day is a new idea commercialized by a popular television show where women celebrate each other and sisterly love instead of the antiquated perception of needing a partner to celebrate with. So go out with your group (safely) and celebrate the love and support you feel for each other. This of course doesn’t need to be only women and can include anyone in your inner circle that you want to share a special day with.
For some, the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to focus on self-care. Book yourself a day out in the River District. Get yourself a fresh hair style, a straight shave, have a manicure or pedicure, buy yourself whatever you want because no one knows you better then you know yourself. Pick up a book and treat yourself to a luxuriously long lunch with no interruptions and if quiet is what you’re after book yourself a float, meditation, yoga, or an hour at the golf simulator. It’s your time so spend it how you want and fill your cup with activities that make you happy because the best kind of love is loving yourself.
Time is running out! Plan your Valentine’s Day now and get down to the River District to make it the best one ever.
