Valentine's day can be expensive to prepare for and to initiate for someone you love and want to make feel special. Though you want your significant other to know how much you care and love them there are so many things that you can do to show how much you appreciate them.

Make them breakfast in bed.

Cook their favorite breakfast, and bring them it in bed. Make a heart out of strawberries or even whipped cream on their pancakes or french toast. Right away that morning they already know you woke up thinking about them.

Buy them flowers.

You don't have to spend $100 dollars on expensive flower shop flowers. Grocery stores have flowers that are not as expensive. You can even add an artificial flower and say that "you'll love them till the last flower dies." A cliche but still so cute.

Make them a hand made card.

Honestly half the time it is hard to even find a card that fits your significant other and your relationship exactly. It doesn't even have to be in card form. Write them a note and stick it in their lunch for the day, or leave it where they can find it when you aren't around.

Cook them their favorite meal.

Food is always a good option. Get some candles, make a menu, set the table, have some nice music. Make it romantic!

Get items to have a spa night.

Yes even if you are a guy you can do a face mask. Take some cute selfies. It will be a fun night for the books. You can get facemasks on Amazon, at Target etc. Do face masks, a hair mask, give them a massage, paint their nails, get them a bath bomb or bubbles to relax with.

Make them a mason jar full of papers about how much you love them.

This is one of the cutest gifts I've received personally. It is a little time-consuming. But you can make this gift with a lot of love and less than $10 dollars.

Cook them dinner, but take them out for dessert.

Most of the time you are full before desert anyway. So cook them their favorite meal, then get dressed up and go get some fancy desserts. This way you aren't spending so much, but you still are taking them out of the house.

Get their favorite movies, make a tent out of sheets, put some string lights up, lots of pillows and blankets and snacks.

Giphy

This is always such a cute, and fun idea to do. Yes it will take a little bit to set up. But you can have it for more than one night if you want. It will be worth it in the end.

You don't have to spend a whole bunch of money, make some huge grand gesture to let your significant other know you care this Valentine's day. You don't have to go overboard, in the end, you will show them you love them either way.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
