AH! Valentine's Day is less than 48 hours away so I promise to keep this post short and sweet! If you are hanging out with your gals, significant other, pet(s), loved ones, or playing cupid - these last minute Valentine's Day inspo can apply to really anyone at home or if you are traveling!
We can all agree that Valentine's Day this year will look a little different than previous years. This year I am so happy to play cupid and provide some quick insights for this year Valentine's Day and maybe future ones to come! With COVID-19, many destinations are still choosing to play it safe for workers and consumers alike (and thank YOU!) However, I am happy to highlight three options offering safe and romantic Valentine's Day services whether you are near or far!
