To some, the 13th of February is a made-up holiday that came about as a result of a Parks and Recreation episode. However, it’s the beautiful meaning that surrounds this special day that we’re really celebrating: comradery between people.
So, if you find yourself unattached this V-Day, grab a couple of friends and your glasses and cheers to the friendships you keep.
Here are a few ways to acknowledge those special in your life:
A night in with a good rom-com
A tall glass of wine, a giant bowl of popcorn, a few friends and the mushiest rom-com you can find on Netflix. Your Place or Mine, Crazy Stupid Love… the list goes on!
Game night
There’s no better way to test the strength of friendship than with a highly competitive game night. Dust off the scrabble board or 30 Seconds, and let the games begin! Keen on taking things up a notch? Here are some games for all to try in Cape Town:
