Valentine’s Day is just a day away, so in case you haven’t decided what you’re going to do to celebrate (or boycott) this lovey dovey holiday, I have a couple of thoughts to share with you. I think most people will agree with me when I say that Valentine’s is another one of those over-commercialized, over-rated holidays. However, it’s also an excuse to rise to the occasion and spend time with those that you care about—friends, boyfriends, or family.

Recently I've heard buzz around the idea concept of Single’s Appreciation Day (Feb. 14th), which is a different and fun twist to the traditionally “couples only” holiday. You could host a girls’ night for all of your single friends to get together and enjoy each other’s company. I actually met my now-husband (for a second time) while out with friends for an anti-Valentine’s get together. I guess that goes to show that it’s possible to find “the one” when you’re least expecting.
