We all know it approaches as friends search for the perfect gift for their significant other or put the final touches on their Galentine’s Day party. House divided has never been more applicable.

While we can’t give all the answers when it comes to love, we can give you some opportunities to take advantage of loving yourself. Getting away for the weekend could be the perfect answer to unnecessary worrying and comparing yourself to others. Being single holds some of its own advantages…no need to share dessert and total control over Netflix movie choice of the night. Chocolate covered strawberries are a solo food anyway. So, turn your phone off, wear your comfiest clothes, and make your way to a getaway of your very own. And if you need champagne recommendations…let us know.
