valentine's

There is so much love in the air on that special day in the middle of February. Yes, Valentine’s Day focuses mainly on couples through mainstream media, but this day should be a time to show all of your loved ones just how much they warm your heart. If you are single, this day should not bring a sense of loneliness but instead a day to celebrate love! Love is not only meant to be romantic love, but all kinds of love are equally as important!

Instead of buying gifts from a store, why not get creative with some DIY gifts this year! DIYs are great gifts because it is more thoughtful and shows you that you took the time to make something with that person in mind! Not to mention, DIYs are a great cost saver if you are on a budget.
