We all know it’s coming. Same day, every year. And it doesn’t really come quietly either – it comes with red and pink hearts, boxes of chocolates, jewelry commercials, red roses and of course, lots of love, hugs and kisses. To which I say, heck yes.

Valentine\’s Day = lots of cake, chocolate covered strawberries and flowers.

Because love (whether in the form of one great love, simple likes or little crushes) should be celebrated. And if we’re going to celebrate, let’s do it up right. And let’s not wait until February 14 either, let’s start celebrating the day of love the weekend before.
