With Love, Your Resident Cupid 💘

Hey there,

It’s that time of the year again where people go extra for their special someone. How are you spending your Valentines’?

I know celebrating Valentine’s Day can be a little cringey with the over-the-top gestures. But beyond these grand schemes, it’s really just an activity that brings lovers everywhere together.

While I’ve grown to think of Valentines’ Day more rationally, the lovergirl in me still believes that there’s something charming about a day dedicated to love in all its forms. And if loving someone doesn’t work out, you can always be your own Valentine at the end of the day.

In line with Valentines’ Day happening this week, I’m dropping the latest mixtape to set the mood or even serenade your loved ones, depending on who you’re spending the special day with. Tune in to love with your pals, or give yourself some TLC — what matters is you feel loved. 🥰

And if you’re spending 14th February solo, don’t fret! Valentines’ Day falls on a Friday this year, so it’s the perfect excuse to go to a party and dance the night away! Scroll down and check out the ultimate party tracks to light up your night. 🎉

Sending hearts and love your way,

Val ♫
