I know, I know travel is almost always my answer to everything but seriously, grabbing a quick romantic weekend trip is one of my favorite romantic ways to celebrate anything.  Also, a quick trip can be an easy way to reconnect by creating your own ambiance, while exploring a new place or relaxing together with self-care services.

Try a New Activity
Not the traditional idea, but consider trying something new with your partner for Valentine’s Day. Pick something you’ve been meaning to try to opt for something completely outrageous. Have you ever wanted to throw axes, flotation therapy, or indoor skydive? What not explore those new things with your partner?

Celebrate Galentine’s with Friends
Single or coupled, showing your friends you care is always great in my book. Have a girls-only sleepover or desserts and margarita night and share stories and memories through the friendships. Grab dinner at a unique location.

Enjoy Some Alone Time
This may not seem like the most romantic way to celebrate valentine’s day but trust me it is. As the saying goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup” so take the time to care and love yourself. And sometimes the best way to do that is by being alone. Take a nice long bath, book an in-home massage, listen to your favorite songs, pour a glass of wine, make yourself a romantic dinner with all your favorites and enjoy yourself. Reset & appreciate you.
