Posted on February 12, 2020
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and if you are not meticulous like us to have a whole 10 day trip to the jungles planned in advance, let us help you out! Believer of St. Valentine or not, when V day falls on a Friday, the expectations meant to soar.

So this year, J and I decided to share a few cool ideas to help you make your V day a !Friyay! and more, because the weekend can be clubbed too!
We did not want to share the typical gift ideas because there are plenty of them out there. To be honest, we do not celebrate Valentine’s day with special vigour because i celebrate my birthday just two days later and it essentially, always is fun! Read more about it on our latest Insta post!
