I was a little bit confused prior to Valentine’s Day– as a girl, I didn’t know if I was supposed to do anything for my boyfriend. I asked a friend and he said, “your only job is to respond.” My boss, on the other hand, was appalled at the thought and insisted that I do more. So basically, it was really just up to me.

Not wanting to get too elaborate, I ended up making cutout shortbread cookies. More »

The first lyrics of my favorite love songs are what drew me to them. Here are my Top 5 favorite love songs for Valentine’s Day. More »

Last year on February 14th, my single female friend and I decided to spend an anti-Valentine’s Day in San Francisco where we planned a strictly girls’ night out with no boys allowed. She and I wanted to start the evening out right with a pillow fight, but not one involving pink nighties and bed jumping, no. We went hardcore by attending the Great San Francisco Valentine’s Day Pillow Fight held every year on Valentine’s Day at Justin Herman Plaza in the Embarcadero. More »
