Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re having a good time and not overthinking it if today isn’t particularly special. Go have a fancy dinner somewhere, or go to dinner somewhere that there will be no Valentine’s Day hype. If you’re single, we made a special list of fun things to do just for you, baby.
