• 5 Valentine Gifts NOT To Give!

    I am here once again to share a public service announcement.  This time Valentine gifts NOT to GIVE!! Here we go with my list of Valentine’s Day do NOTS! 1. Forget. OhhhhMgeeee. Especially if its a new relationship. Even a dinner out or a single rose is better than forgetting. Forgetting. BAD! Of course,  jewelry is ALWAYS an option. A-L-W-A-Y-S!! 2. Household appliances. A vacuum cleaner or cast-iron skillets are NOT a romantic gift. Now hiring a house cleaner? Oh that will make my heart go pitter-patter, especially if she does windows! 3. Automobile accessories. Nope. I don’t need a charger for Valentine’s Day. Take my car and have it detailed? Absolutely! Sneak in my car and have a romantic song cued up for when I start my car! YES! AND extra brownie points for you! 4. Socks. I don’t care if my feet ARE always cold. Socks are NOT ROMANTIC! Unless of course, you’ve nestled a bottle of my favorite perfume inside. Seriously, a bottle of my favorite cologne, Phluid will get you out of the dog house. ASAP! 5. Dedicate a song to me on the radio. ARE WE 12!?!?! NO! NO! NO! Take me dancing? Hello! Now…

    If you have a partner or someone you’re interested in and want to make a gesture, chances are you’re planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day this year. Historically, Valentine’s Day has its origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was traditionally held in mid-February.

By the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day, which came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century. Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is celebrated on Sunday, February 14. So, there’s not long to start planning if you haven’t got any ideas together yet. Here’s some guidance that can help you along the way! Valentine’s Day Will Be Different This Year Let’s start by saying that Valentine’s Day will inevitably be a little different this year. The coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic is still rife and a lot of us won’t be able to do the things we traditionally do to celebrate.
