The messaging around Valentine’s Day comes with mixed emotions for many Americans.
We’re living in that newlywed phase still.
We’re about a year and a half into it, so we’re still enjoying the young love.
Not much has changed.
We’ve been working together and living together and doing all this stuff together 24/7 for so long.
It’s just nice to no longer have to plan a wedding.
Season 7 is coming up soon, on February 13.
How is it being on the season as a married woman?
I haven’t really thought about it.
I don’t know if anything has changed.
Maybe my friends see me differently.
I don’t feel much different, though.
We have our dogs now, and that’s most of it.
What advice do you have for women who are going through the same thing?
The best advice I have is to talk about it.
You don’t realize how complicated it is and how complex it is.
It’s amazing that you used your platform to talk about it.
It’s such a sensitive topic, and like you said, it’s been taboo for so long.
Yeah, it was unexpected.
What do you think is appealing about that?
I do love that lifestyle of just going out for a midday drink.
I know Kyle feels it every single year.
I’m always gently reminding him to order flowers in advance or make the reservations for a restaurant.
Spending quality time together means more than anything.
But when you’re single, it’s a great opportunity to show yourself how much you love you.
I think Miley Cyrus said it best: “I can buy myself flowers.”
You don’t need someone else to make you feel loved.
[Practice] some self-care; have a self-care day, night.
Buy something that you’ve had your eye on; treat yourself to something special.
Sign up for that workout class you’ve been putting off.
[Give] yourself that space and [do] whatever makes you happy.
I’d almost prefer my Valentine’s Day to look like that.
Sorry, boys this one’s for the ladies only.
My friends [and I] can be very chatty, and restaurants have a time limit.
it’s possible for you to overstay your welcome.
It’s a day to be girls.
What sort of snacks, games, and activities do you recommend for Galentine’s Day?
For snacks, I am not a dinner-hosting queen.
I get overwhelmed with all the cooking and feasting.
Setting a theme in general for what the food is and getting creative with it could be really fun.
I am a huge fan of convenience, which is why I love our Loverboy canned cocktails.
There’s no cleanup; there’s no mess.
My friends [and I] love to chitchat.
[There’s] also the old school “would you rather” and “truth or dare.”
A theme, a good theme.
Forget about the show.
My friends and I always love a good theme, and I touched on it before.
[Do] something fun like that and carry it through with decorations and refreshments.
As co-founder of Loverboy, what drinks would you recommend from your brand for Galentine’s Day?
My favorite is the cosmopolitan martini.
I recommend it year-round, but it’s probably the best one for Valentine’s Day.
It’s fun and light and easy to drink.
And it is so synonymous with girls' night.
So drinking a cosmo on Valentine’s Day is the perfect thing.
I just wanted to say, your skin is glowing.
I don’t know what it is; it just looks so dewy.
I’ll tell you.
I did my moisturizer and all that fun stuff, and then it’s Saie they have this gel.
I’ve posted it somewhere.
I forget what it’s called.
