Hi y’all! Ready for your annual reminder of my thoughts on Valentine’s Day? 🙂 1) Valentine’s Day is a made-up corporate bullshit holiday that puts enormous unnecessary pressure on both single and non-single people! [icon-heart] 2) It’s really fucking hard to get a reservation! [icon-heart] 3) As Dan Savage likes to point out, it’s kind of high stakes to go …
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hi lovebirds! Happy Valentine’s Day, or as my friend Jen likes to call it, “VD.” (By the way, she and I are Valentine Twinsies this year—we both plan to stay in, cook steaks, and watch House of Cards Season 2 on Netflix.)

New Year’s resolutions about Valentine’s Day
Business has been ON FIRE lately. I’m so stoked to be working this much and helping this many people! I have a sneaking suspicion the spike is largely due to new year’s resolutions.

Bang first, and other Valentine advice
As I mentioned the other day, Valentine’s Day and its accompanying frenzy is right around the corner. Whee! Thankfully, Valentine’s Day Panic (VDP) is one of those things you can opt out of, like my mailing list or freshly ground pepper or airplane headphones. One of my favorite advice columnists, Dan Savage, regularly tells couples that they should “f*ck first” (his …

Valentine’s Day is coming…
Sing it to the tune of The Farmer In The Dell. Yeah, Omar Comin’ style. I hate this holiday. OK, that’s not fair. I don’t hate Valentine’s Day. But I dislike the mad commercial pressure to suddenly gift up in February when it’s freezing where I live, and I’ve barely recovered from the winter holiday giftstravaganza. I don’t just hate …
