Ah, February is here! What more can we think of but the season of love? Most Valentine’s days, we get too occupied in planning romantic activities on that day. Dinners in fancy restaurants. Romantic getaways. Cocktails. This year, though, is different. The coronavirus pandemic has caused us to set aside outdoor Valentine’s Day plans and stay indoors.
Do you have plans or are you completely clueless about how to spend this special day indoors? Here are 5 ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in your
Houston apartment!
Breakfast in bed
Start Valentine’s Day with a sweet breakfast in bed! Prepare a breakfast tray for you and your partner —include heart-shaped pancakes or waffles, and serve it with a book or a newspaper. You can also include a small love note and remind your partner how much you love him/her.
Set the mood
This is the best time to squeeze out your romantic juices! Decorate. Get your candles ready —can you imagine Valentine’s Day without candles? Make sure you consider the scent of the candles that you will choose for an added Valentine’s Day vibe! Put on some petals on the floor as well! Candles and petals on the floor create an instant romantic aura.
Have a romantic dinner at home
Impress your loved one with a sumptuous dinner, you can go all-out with your cooking skills! You can be creative by creating your dish. Not fond of full-course meals? You can make your Valentine’s date a night of appetizers, desserts, or just snacks —you can even include aphrodisiacs in your menu!
Give a little something special
Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to remind your loved one how much they mean to you. Get your partner a gift that shows how much you appreciate them. Tight on money? There are plenty of gifts you can give to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable —make a DIY valentine’s gift, write a love letter, or bake some goodies.
Pamper yourselves with a DIY home spa treat
Surprise your loved one by transforming your
Houston apartment into an ‘at-home spa’. Make a DIY Valentine’s Day spa basket filled with soaps, essential oils, salts, and body sponges. Make your apartment as relaxing as possible by using dim lights and/or scented candles. Take turns in giving each other soothing massages with stress-relieving oils, take long bubble baths, and use hydrating facemasks to relax.
Keep in mind that the key to having a great Valentine’s Day is to keep it simple. This is a day that celebrates love, and as long as you and your loved one feel the love you have for each other, you’ll surely love an amazing day together.
