The Long Valentine’s

This year, my husband was inspired to go all-out on Valentine’s Day. Despite agreeing there would be no fuss, he decided I needed spoiling. So, he created a 3-day Valentine’s Day celebration.

The day beforehand, I was scheduled for a massage. (That wasn’t the surprise — the massage is therapeutic, not indulgent.) But he’d arranged for me to receive a surprise coconut facial while I was there. It was the first facial I’d ever received, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.

It was so relaxing! I didn’t quite fall asleep, but I made a couple of “indecorous snorts”.

On Valentine’s Day, we had homemade heart-shaped pizzas and watched a romantic movie.

And the third day, we went out to a lovely gourmet brunch, followed by delicious French pastries. And a romantic movie.

I’ve never felt so spoiled!
