Happy Valentine’s Day
Love is in the air! If you haven’t already- grab some flowers and a heart-shaped pizza to celebrate with your loved one. If cards are more your thing, you can still find a few on the shelves. Better yet, pen a thoughtful verse of your own!
However you choose to spend Valentine’s Day, spend it with the ones you love.
