A great way to feel good is to spend some time with the loved ones in your life. Get your best friends together during a virtual call to celebrate your friendship!

Take advantage of Valentine's Day to try out a new activity, a new recipe or discover a new hobby. It’ll clear your mind and can stimulate creativity and improve your mood.
Try some home baking, make your own face cream with essential oils, or learn power yoga, watercolour painting, or latte art. No matter what you choose to do, trying something new will do you immense good, and who knows, you might even discover a new passion.
« Doing a good deed, no matter how trivial, will brighten someone else’s day as much as yours. »
Volunteer a few hours of your time to someone who needs help or a charity. Or simply do a good deed, such as shovelling the snow from your neighbour’s entrance or complimenting a stranger. They might seem trivial, but small gestures like these have the power to make someone’s day better. And giving can be as satisfying as receiving.
Spend quality time together. Disconnect yourself from the digital world! Keep your mobile phone away, turn off your computer, don't consult your social networks. Make time for the two of you, as if you were alone in the world. It is your chance to get away:
Get dressed warmly and go out. Create new memories to share! And at the end of the day, symbolically offer your heart with a box of chocolate.
Seize the opportunity to cook for two. Make something out of the ordinary! Cook together a dish you've never tried before or a meal inspired by a new ingredient or one of your travels.
You can also create a four-course menu of aphrodisiacs. Split up the task by cooking two dishes each, unaware of what the other is cooking for you. Play your favourite music while you cook and enjoy reconnecting with your lover.
For dessert, treat yourself to a chocolate fondue!
Why not organize a romantic spa evening for two? It's the perfect way to escape and enjoy a romantic moment without leaving your cozy nest. Treat yourself to a fragrant bath and candles, a salon-style massage and your favourite relaxing playlist.
