Valentine’s Day is almost upon us once again, and whether you’re a fan of hearts and flowers or the mere mention of February 14th makes you scoff, there’s no denying that the spirit of romance can be pretty darn infectious.
I love that modern Valentine’s Day is thoroughly personal, and that you’re just as likely to catch a film with your friends as you are to dress up and go for a meal with your other half. It’s a little reminder to cherish the most special relationships in your life and show them some love, no matter whether that’s your wife, your best friend, your cat… or yourself!
So whether you’re a Romantic, a Seducer, or a Self-Indulger, enjoy Valentine’s Day in your own way.
