Obvious statement: Don’t get your significant other a card with someone else’s name on it. While you would assume that some Valentine’s Day gifts are obviously bad ideas, some people just don’t seem to get it. My mom once got a toothbrush(!) from her ex-boyfriend for V-day in high school. If I got a gift like that, I would ask myself two questions: 1. Does he not like me? and 2. What is he implying with this gift?

Valentine’s Day is in just three days and I have one question for you: do you know what you’re wearing yet? You may be thinking, I don’t have a significant other. Why does it matter what I wear? Regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, a hook up, a crush or if you’re completely single, you should still try on V-Day.

Valentine’s Day – love it or loathe it, it’s looming on the very-near horizon. Personally I’m not a fan, but perhaps that’s just my inner bitter spinster self talking — assuming someone took it upon themselves to shower me with gifts, I’d be perplexed, but I surely wouldn’t question it. But let’s not allow my sour-grapes attitude get us down! Whether you’re in an exciting new fling or a tried and true relationship, we’ve got you covered…

Valentine’s Day is a week away, and I’m going to confess that I’m pretty excited about it. I know that it’s sort of over-hyped, but I just love that there is a whole day out of the year celebrating love! So of course I take full advantage of Valentine’s Day fashion: red, heart overload, and romantic details!

So let’s be real, we all cried a little bit when we found out Brad and Jen were splitting, and some of us are still sticking pins in our Angelina Jolie voodoo dolls not over it. In fact, thanks to our obsession with celebrities, faux-lebrities and TV/movies, we often find ourselves more invested in Hollywood/fictional couples than we do in our own relationships.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about expressing your love for…uh…the people you love. But what it actually is, is a commercialized way to turn love into a cheese-tastic card with the words “I wuv u” written across the top.

Happy Valentine’s Day! With three words I’ve probably caused every single reader to groan in frustration. You’re probably trying to forget this day exists, aren’t you? Trying to pretend this is just a normal Monday. Well it’s not.

I’m going to be upfront and honest with ya’ll. I’m AM the type of person that hates Valentines Day singlehandedly because I am single. I’m not going to try and deny it, I’m not going to go ahead and be all “why can’t single girls just love themselves on Valentines Day!?” I am going to be loud and proud about my haste during the “holiday.”

Thanks for joining us this week and I hope you were able to take away some do’s and don’ts, what you’re not missing, and, of course, the real reason of Valentine’s Day: Love.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner which means you’re either spending way too much time debating if your not-boyfriend-boyfriend is going to take you on a date or you’ve already picked out the sweatpants you’re going to wear and the tub of ice cream you’re going to eat. Or are you? Our galpals over at Tressugar conducted a survey about what each gender thinks about February 14th.
