Stress-free February!
Without a doubt, Valentine's Day is one of the most expensive dates for most couples, and the stress of arranging it is ridiculous.

No Expectations, No Disappointments!

The expectations of having a perfect day have never been greater, with many fresh articles popping online proposing 'Best Gifts for Her' or 'Valentine Treats for Him.'Imagine spending a month preparing to wow your loved ones, only to be disappointed when you don't bring their favorite flowers or dessert. Hell no to that!
Avoid Burning a Hole in Your Pockets!
The month of February is all about love...and overpriced roses. For years, V-day has been more commercialized, and the day to celebrate love comes at a high cost. It's only natural to compare your relationships with others in the era of social media, particularly while scrolling through posts about their 10-course meal with wine overlooking the sea.In truth, social media portrays a distorted view of love and happiness as it does not accurately reflect everyone's relationship. Overexpectations may often ruin a relationship since simple acts of love are no longer enough to make someone feel cherished.

On Valentine's Day, make yourself happy.
