I'm not one to make a big deal about Valentine's Day. I mean, I LOVE love, and I love my kids, my husband, my family and friends, but I don't usually do over the top gifts to celebrate the occasion. (Not that I'd complain about receiving a little velvet box, but I do prefer celebrating with experiences and surprises, not a conventional present) I'd actually rather V-Day chopped up and spread throughout the year, with little gestures of love peppered through the calendar -- more spontaneous, less forced.
That said, I do appreciate the day as a reason (or excuse) to pause and pay tribute to those we most care about. It's really a double-edged sword; would we actually celebrate our love if it weren't for this commercial holiday? So, I say, celebrate Valentine's Day, but do it in a way that makes sense to you and your loved ones.
Over the next few days, I'll be giving some great ideas for celebrating love this year, whether you're single, attached, married, etc.
It goes without saying that people are super busy, and need a little indulgence every once and a while. Why not pamper yourself with a Valentine's Day special at Sanctuary Day Spas? This is an easy gift, but a guaranteed one at that!
Sanctuary has two V-Day Specials going on right now -- the Sanctuary Soul Mates is a 2-hour package that includes two Muru Aki rituals (a sensual body massage that combines oils, shells and hot stones) and two spa pedicures. Donny and I have actually had more than one couple's massage before and we LOVE it. And in the dead of winter, we definitely need pedicures. Time to gear up for Spring. Sign me up PLEASE.
OR why not honour the special friend in your life with the Sanctuary Sisters package: two spa manicures and two 30-minute relaxation massages. That sounds like a wonderful way to spend some time with a closest friend, sister, mom or cousin.
Sanctuary Day Spas has once again generously donated a wonderful prize for Simply Suppa readers. Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win the Sanctuary Sisters prize! That's a value of $150. This is a flash contest so get your entries in!!

I would love to take my sister to Sanctuary Day Spas. She is studying to become a teacher and is stressed out. It would be nice to reconnect and allow her to relax if even just for a moment
