Non-Material Valentine’s Day Activities & Gift Ideas
If you've been following along in recent months, you know gifts are my love language. Surprisingly though, I'm not big on Valentine's Day gifts. Don't get me wrong, I love receiving flowers and a card like any other girl but I do think big, showy gifts really aren't necessary. Especially coming out of the holidays, it feels a little unnecessary to give or expect more gifts. That said, I think Valentine's Day is a great excuse to celebrate love and do something a little extra special or thoughtful for your significant other. If you're planning to celebrate, continue reading for a few non-material Valentine's Day activities and gifts that show you care!

Hopefully this helps narrow things down if you're looking for a good read in 2021. Continue reading to find out what my favorite book of 2020 was!
KV Book Review: Where the Crawdads Sing
I really enjoyed reading about Kya's journey from orphan child to accomplished woman in Where the Crawdads Sing. The beginning of the book brought out all my protective mama instincts and actually had me quite angry but I was proud to watch the protagonist overcome her challenges and learn how to fend for herself.
Simple Açaí Bowl Recipe
I got hooked on açaí bowls after I visited Hawaii for the first time and was disappointed to find so few options when I arrived home to Chicago. That was years ago and since then açaí bowls have definitely risen in popularity but still, the majority of what you find at cafes or smoothie shops are all infused with tons of sugar.
