Valentine’s Day 2025 is about writing love letters to your future and past selves, romanticizing your morning routine, pressing flowers, reading novels, wearing chic pajamas, sourcing vintage jewelry, lighting the fancy candles and using the fancy dinnerware, putting on a face mask, hugging your friends, snuggling your pets, giggling, and smooching, and dancing, and feasting, and holding your loved ones close.
