Valentine’s day is today! This is the first year ever where I had to go to a mall or a shopping district just before February 14th, so I was a bit shocked to find that all the shop windows are a blur of pink and red as I drive by.
My biggest shock was on Friday afternoon, as I walked past Tiffany’s at Yorkdale Mall. There was a line up of men waiting to go into the store, and there wasn’t a sale as far as I can tell. It took me by surprise, as I’ve never seen such a sight before. I couldn’t contain myself and laughed heartily as I walked by. Maybe they thought I was nuts, walking and laughing out loud all by myself, but I couldn’t help it.
An hour later, I walked by Tiffany’s for the second time. Again, there was a line up; this time, there were a couple women in line too. I was expecting the line up, so I only chuckled quietly to myself. I don’t think badly of these men, I just find the scenario extremely amusing. While I love jewelry, I personally don’t think Valentine’s day warrants an extravagant gift like that. Obviously, that’s just me. I only wish that I took a picture of the line up for this post.
How about if we just do something nice for ourselves instead this Valentine’s Day? If everyone is nice to themselves, no one will be left alone.
To celebrate Valentine’s day, I got myself a bunch of mini tulips — my favourite flowers in my favourite colours. I am married, but who says that I can’t do anything nice for myself?
They didn’t fit into a single vase, so I had to split them up. The apartment finally looks like a woman lives here!
My Valentine's Day Gift to Myself
It was a spontaneous gift; I was actually getting a bag of cactus soil. The purchase of the cactus soil was also a spontaneous decision after bringing my husband’s mouth guard to him because he forgot it at home.
Because of various situations that I didn’t plan for, I spent the day doing nothing from my original to do list. Instead, I caught up with something that I love doing. All in all, I enjoyed my day. The apartment is still messier than I like, but I created some pretty things that I will show you soon!
What did you do for yourself this Valentine’s Day? Please leave a comment, I’d love to hear about it! ♥
