Valentine’s Day Is Coming. Spoil Yourself First

Sometimes, ’tis better to give and receive.

Let’s talk about you for a minute. You’re a bit stressed. You’re a bit tired. You’re a bit cold, because January and February are cold. And, as much as you’d love to look forward to Valentine’s Day as an annual celebration of love and happiness and the color red, you sometimes think it’s just a Hallmark ad campaign blown up to terrible proportions. This year, give in to the emotions a little. Do something for you. And do it now, then come out on the other side a happier, more Valentine’s Day-ier person, ready to be cheery, loving, kind and generous. You owe it to yourself and your significant other to get this out of the way. Plus, those $550 cashmere-lined gloves are 100 percent worth it.
