Love is in the air, everywhere I look around.
Or is it? Undoubtedly, things are feeling a little… tenuous out there right now. And in weird times, one of the best things we can do is cultivate the love we feel for those closest to us. We need love, we crave love, and it helps us thrive as humans. And even though Valentine’s Day is a holiday created specifically to sell commercial stuff, it can be a good reminder that love, is in fact, in the air every single day, despite everything else going on around us.
Now, onto the commercial stuff to show your valentine just how much you love them!
