With valentine’s day being just a few days away, couples are experiencing the heat of showing up at each other’s doorstep with gift baskets and poetry cards.
Every valentine’s day, the world screams ‘colour me red’ because people are trying to show their undying love for their partners. Your boyfriend James is trying to be a big teddy bear by buying you flowers, (mostly plastic, but hey!

Valentine’s day has become somewhat of a ticking time bomb on your hands; one wrong move could have the entire thing exploding in your face.

You should not let valentine’s day make you a darling only for you to go back to default settings the next day.

If you can take one day to make things extra special, you could always burn the midnight oil for a few surprises here and there on normal days of the week.
