Leave the cheese at home…
Sooo, Valentine’s Day is coming up and it’s awkward. I find it super hard to understand how anyone could be legit and take this day seriously with all the cringe fluffy gifts, samey same ‘I love you’ cards and enough crimson plastered in every corner to make even a heart surgeon throw up their ham and cheese sandwich.
I get it, some chicks and dudes love the mush - the sickly sweet cringe set dinners, the bunches of red roses, the stuffed teddies, the boxes of chocolates - but in my book, ‘The Key to Suz’, creativity unlocks that door. Deviate and you’ll get ample snaps.
Firstly, the chance to show you care about someone shouldn’t be locked into a 24 hour period…send flowers because you feel like it, get up and dance because your feet are tapping and you need to groove, light candles and be cute because there are matches is the draw.
Secondly, do it different - the cliche stuff may work for some, I get it, kids, but I’d much rather a living room picnic of pizza and a couple of bottles of wine, versus a fancy, set, sugar-crusted lovers-dinner any day. The teddies should stop when you hit puberty, diamonds however are allowed at any age ;)
Do Fred the heart surgeon a favour and limit the crimson this year!
