Ryan here! Valentines Day is just around the corner and I couldn't be more excited. I have some ideas for you to make Valentines Day extra special, whether you're with your special someone or flyin' solo this year. Valentines Day isn't just about romance, it's a day to make anyone you love feel appreciated.
One of the things that I have learned from being in a relationship is to appreciate simple things, like holding hands or sharing a kiss. I recently learned about The 5 Love Languages, which basically helps you to understand how you like to connect to others. I challenge you to take the quiz, whether you're single or have a partner-- maybe you'll learn a bit about yourself.
Things you can do for your special someone (be sure to click the links):
- Spend quality time together. Turn off your phone and listen.
- Watch one of your favourite movies and make a snack.
- Go see a game or a concert. Do something fun that you both enjoy.
- Tell them what you appreciate about them-- handwritten notes go a long way.
- Make them coffee or tea. It's always appreciated when someone remembers how much cream or sugar you put in your drink.

See what I did there?
Valentines Day is a wonderful, romantic day, but remember to make the people you love feel special the other 364 days of the year. Let them know that they are loved all year.
