Valentine’s Day Haul

happy valentines

Ok this is not really a beauty or makeup haul – it’s more like an overall collection of the must-do things on Valentines. Well I know a large fraction of my friends are counting down to the V-day while a few of them find it terribly overrated. Like it or not, Valentine’s day is something you cannot overlook. Commercialised yes, but there is nothing wrong in celebrating a day for love. In our day to day hustle, many people forget to appreciate the loved ones in their lives. So this post is especially dedicated to my girl gang whom I love so much. You guys rock and this one’s for you.

4) RELAX

Still not sure what to do on Valentine’s Day? I say either you give her a full-body massage or, better yet, reserve a double massage for him and her. You should both take some time off and enjoy some relaxation together. Any kind of spa getaway is perfect for Valentine’s Day. Check out my Four Fountain Spa review.

5) MOVIES

And if you are a Bollywood movie buff like me, grab the tickets for Gunday right NOW! Travel back to the 70s with some action packed romance in this PriyankaRanveerArjun starrer. The songs are catchy and it possibly has all the right ingredients to cook up a masala blockbuster. For now, enjoy the tang tang tang tang ….

Alright guys so once again wishing you all a Happy Valentines Day! Apart from the above, I’d urge you to do something nice for your mom and dad, grandparents, siblings and friends. Do something special for someone who just went through a breakup. Take them out on a friendly date and treat them nice, I mean any human being could do with a pick me up and showing of love. Till my next post!
Xoxo
