Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the beauty of meaningful connections in our lives. It’s a day to express our feelings of affection and adoration, and an opportunity to show how much we treasure our partners, children, parents, friends, pets, and communities. In addition to romance, the grand rosy gestures and creative date night plans, Valentine’s Day is a chance to cherish all forms of love, reaching toward those that give a kind word or acts service that are appreciated, but may not be voiced. In many ways, the comfort and companionship of friendly company is just as important to our wellbeing as romantic love. 

One of the greatest sources of beautiful, platonic love is our animals. We love our pets. They make us laugh, they buoy us in ways that are difficult to describe as an essential part of the family. One of the ways we give back to our pets is through quality time. Often, we wish we could spend more time with our pets as we navigate the attention-consuming activities of daily life, and we give back to pets with treats and quality time—play, exercise, coos, and grooming. If you’d like to show your special furry friend some extra love and pampering this Valentine’s Day, Groomingdale’s Pet Spa is led by experienced groomers who would love to help give your pet some extra care and attention!

Arguably the most important form of love is the kind we show ourselves. Those of us responsible for caring for others understand that we can only give so much without taking care of our own needs. Self-care activities are unique to everyone, and we all have our preferred indulgences to relax, enjoy, and rejuvenate. Webb Plaza houses many options to treat yourself. Whether you’d fancy a cute Valentine’s Day-themed manicure at Sandy Nails and Spa, a relaxing massage and destressing sauna at Empower Life Spa, or one of the array of facial treatments at Ayla’s Beauty Bar, Webb Plaza has an abundance of luxurious self-care options, and they are available all year long!

Another potentially less appreciated way of giving and receiving love is through food. Food wordlessly connects cultures, communities, and individuals. Dining with others is a way of sharing a piece of the heart through taste and conversation. Valentine’s Day is often synonymous with desserts, and Eileen’s Colossal Cookies is celebrating with dozens of different Valentine’s Day-themed decorations on their colossal cookies. Jumpstart Nutrition is joining the fun with their special occasion flavors like Valentine’s Punch Loaded Tea, Cupid’s Typhoon tea, and Crazy Ex Loaded Tea. Any of these could be the perfect gift that goes straight to the heart.

However you celebrate Valentine’s Day, think of others who would like to give love, and those who are in need of it. Hold them in your heart, send them a card or a prayer, or give them a call, and make time to cherish the love in your life! Webb Plaza’s extraordinary businesses are here to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day in your own way!
