No cause for Valentine’s Day anxiety with these chill activities
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us – it’s the one token day of love but many get themselves worked up in a frenzy. After all, it’s not easy clinching restaurant reservations or having to explain to your relatives for the umpteenth time that you’re still single. Instead of doing things for appearance’s sake or the upkeep of cliched traditions, shrug off all preconceived notions surrounding February 14. Here are six low-key things to do on Valentine’s Day to start embracing living life to the fullest – no matter if you’re single or taken.
There’s nothing more serene than exploring an art gallery. Not so much though, when it comes to facing down hordes of eager folks at popular exhibitions like the refreshed Future World. Instead of spending your Valentine’s Day elbowing your way through the crowd, make a detour to one of our many private art galleries instead. These intimate galleries feature a mix of local and regional artists, so take your time to wander through.
Keep it low-key while making sure this Valentine’s Day is effortlessly memorable. Rather than stressing out about the crowds, you can quickly whip up a special meal at home for a relaxing night in.
