Celebrating Single

Move over couples. Singles have their day. It’s Singles Awareness Day; S.A.D. This singles only holiday is the alternative celebration to the ‘most romantic couples only’ holiday; Valentine’s Day. Some choose to observe Singles Awareness (or Appreciation) Day on Valentine’s Day, but the day after sounds like the perfect time for a Girl’s Night Out on the town to me. Cheers!
