My favorite holiday of the year is here… and that’s Valentine’s Day!
Ah, tis the season of love… and my favorite holiday of all time,
VALENTINE’S DAY.
In Aya’s world, Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you have to have a boo thang. I absolutely despise when miserable people label this beautiful day as “Single Awareness Day,” because although the prime existence of this holiday is to honor your soul mate, it plain and simple is about LOVE. This is a time you should also celebrate your parents, siblings, and friends and the love you have for them, too. I always believed in giving fun-loving goodies to all of the ones you love, whether it be a treat bag of your favorite holiday-themed candies or a little sentimental token like a candle or a book of love quotes.
{lucky for me, I have the best mom in the world who bought me these fab vday goodies for home}
Not sure what kind of present to get?
I’ve put together a Goodies Gift Guide for the dazed and confused:
Goodies for HER
Goodies for HIM
We can’t forget one of the most important parts of Valentine’s Day…
Dressing for the occasion, of course.
Most people go out to dinner with their significant other, but in the Alshafei household, we had an annual dinner with just the five of us at one of our favorite restaurants in Columbia, SC.
There are several different reiterations of how to dress on your lovely night.
Here are some fab looks for you to go for:
I hope everyone has an enchanted Valentine’s day with your loved ones!
