Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a big deal

Need advice for Valentine’s Day? The Red & Blue staff has you covered! Here are some tips to make your Valentine’s Day great. 

1. DO hang out with your friends! It is important to be with the people that you love and care about during special holidays. Do something fun with your favorite people.
2. DON’T sit alone at home. You shouldn’t sit at home by yourself down in the blues. Go find something fun to do like attending a sporting event, going bowling or catching a movie.
   
3. DO get yourself a sweet treat! Get yourself some chocolates, strawberries, or whatever you like! It’s okay to treat yourself on Valentine’s Day too.
   
4. DON’T do too much. Simple gestures can be more meaningful than going over the top. Try making something for someone or planning a simple activity such as painting or making chocolate covered strawberries together.
5. DO remember it’s just a day! If you want to just live it as another day, go ahead. There’s no rule that says you need to make it a big deal if you have no desire to.
6. DON’T use cheesy phrases. It’s okay to be nice and kind, but try to avoid the cheesy “Roses are red, violets are blue” poems. Be creative and come up with your own.

So, we want to hear from you! What’s your advice to others for a fun and relaxed Valentine’s Day?
