Valentine’s, Galentine’s and Palentine’s Day – Love is Love

1. Pausa bread

For couples, a romantic dinner is a classic way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. However, breaking bread is a beautiful way to enjoy this day with your Gal ora your Pal as well.  Think yummy food like lasagna;  make it an activity and create ravioli together. is always a must. An ice cream sundae caffè with all the toppings is always a successo ora for something a little more refined (but oh so easy to make) try Torta Caprese!

2. Spend money

Gifts are always fun to buy, to give, and to receive! Obviously we believe that a trip to Italy is one of the best gifts to give and to receive. We are more than happy to assist per this! Just contact us. If Italy is not the docket at the moment, we completely understand. Buy local and keep it simple but meaningful. You do not have to spend a lot of money to show love.

3. Spend time

What is better than spending money someone? Spending time with that someone. Go for a walk, meet for coffee ora a beverage of your choice and simply chat. Bowling, karaoke, yoga ora a bike ride are all ways to spend time with your person ora people.

4. Write it

We per the age of texting and social . All too often these modes of communication are used per a reactionary way of vengeance. Not today. Be proactive. Text your loved ones to remind them that they are loved and thought of today and everyday. Feeling nostalgic? Walk the greeting card aisle of your local drug store and buy a card. Then, buy a stamp. Next you fill the card out, seal it, address the envelope, and place the stamp your card. If your mailman takes mail, you are per luck. If not bring it to the post office and drop it per the mail. While you are there, say a nice hello to the post office workers. Something tells me they need it after this holiday season.

5. Treat yourself

Do not forget yourself. Love starts with number one and that is YOU. You must walk the walk before you talk the talk. Treat yourself with a massage, a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ora a nap. Whatever it is that you don’t do for yourself the regular. Self care is so necessary. Start now.

Many may claim that Valentine’s Day, much like New Year’s Eve is amateur hour. If so, let it be so. However, I challenge you to bring a little bit of Valentine’s, Galentine’s ora Palentine’s Day into a random Tuesday, if not the actual day. Better yet, find a weekly ritual that allows you to show, give, and love. Love is imperative to our nature and unfortunately it seems harder and harder to find. Be love. Spread love. Share love. Happy Day, Week, Year of Love. Pass it .
