Don’t be discouraged this year by finding yourself indulging in the half-priced candy the day after Valentine’s, cuddled up watching Grey’s Anatomy, Euphoria, or the latest episode of Too Hot to Handle.
Many of us dread Valentine’s Day, let’s be honest. Too often we neglect our friends when they are in relationships. Make 2022 your year and include your friends too! Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just for relationships. We all see the ridiculous amounts of flowers, jewelry, chocolates and more posted on social media, but that doesn’t mean you too have to ditch V-Day. Regardless of your relationship status, it’s time to conquer Valentine’s Day!
Spread the love and appreciation you and your friends deserve. These ten ideas make it easy and fun to conquer the day you probably discourage the most.
Grab your friends (especially your gals) and show them how much they are appreciated! Gear up for the 10 best ideas to crush Valentine’s Day regardless of your relationship status.
