Valentine’s Day….

I have so many fond memories of Valentine’s Day. Cute cards with Batman or Hello Kitty on them, cupcakes from classmates and getting a Valentine from the cute boy I had a HUGE crush on (even though he gave one to everyone in the class). For years my single friends and I made jokes about celebrating “Singles Awareness Day” on Feb. 14^th. But really… whether you spend Feb. 14^th with a significant other, a good friend, your kids or even with your dog, Valentine’s Day should make you feel special because it’s a day about LOVE.

 Here are some fun facts about Valentine’s Day:

• In medieval times, women used to eat unusual foods on Valentine’s Day so they might have dreams of their future husbands.
• In the middle of the 17^th century, even married people would get a Valentine (and sometimes it WASN’T from their significant other).
•  3% of pet owners give their pets a Valentine’s Day present.
• Over 50 million roses are given on Valentine’s Day!
• 75% of people who buy flowers on Valentine’s Day are men.
• Richard Cadbury invented the first Valentine’s Day candy box in the late 1800s.
• Parents receive 1 out of 5 valentines.
• Long before St. Valentine lived, February 14 had strong links to fertility. It was believed to be the date birds chose their mates.

 No matter how you spend Feb. 14^th, remember to always think of yourself as significant and amazing. I urge you to treat yourself this Valentine’s Day. Maybe get yourself a box of yummy chocolates, take a long bath or get a much needed massage. When you love yourself first it allows you to share your best with those around you.

 As for me, I will be spending my Valentine’s Day with my pups and am planning a special dinner with my husband 😉
