I think we all have our own visions of what we consider to be the ultimate death by chocolate experience, and well, this is mine. I love chocolate in all forms, most especially dark chocolate.

Valentine's Day, while full of good intention, was created by companies who stood to gain a lot from people who purchased their products to show one another their love. Relationships author Michael Webb worried that the emphasis had a tendency to be placed on things as opposed to the relationships themselves, and on 1995, he decided to begin campaigning for a seven-day celebration six months after Valentine’s that shifted the focus back to where it should be: the people in the relationship.

I decided I would come up with a list of ten ways for couples and single folks alike to celebrate a day that is supposed to be about loving one another, not about buying stuff for one another and eating out at some expensive restaurant.
