Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to suck, or does it? Sucking, licking and some gentle­-but-­not-­too-­gentle ear nibbling, are all good reasons why life is really a lot better than a box of chocolates. So why not use it to create some experiences you will both actually enjoy?





Fly Me to The Moon

We’ve binged most rom­-coms and while love is indeed a many splendored thing, romantic scenes usually come down to one thing: a less ­ordinary mode of transport. A pedalo, a horse­ drawn cart or even ­if Risky Business is anything to go by (and it definitely is)­ simply the train. All great options to take your relationship to a new place entirely, like the park.





You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me

Rilke once said that love is “the work for which all other work is preparation”. So get to it and write them a letter. When you write to each other, it allows space to say what you really mean, in other words, it creates time, says Esther Pere l . She also suggests you read the letter aloud to your partner and try to make it handwritten ­ it helps you write from the heart. Makes sense, when you really think about trolls.
