Valentine’s Day is not just for couples, and it’s not a day to make your single friends jealous. I don’t mean to be cliché, but this occasion does celebrate all kinds of love, and not just the romantic kind. Singletons deserve some love too, you know. That’s why we want them to have a #treatyoself day.
Whether you’re celebrating V-Day alone or have friends and family with you, this guide will see you through this couple-riddled week.
