I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it a million times over– the world could always use more love. Any and all kinds. Because love is love is love. And what type of Valentine’s Day enthusiast would I be if I let the holiday go by without a fun little playlist?! These are just a few of my all time favorite love songs. Whether you’re single or spending this year with your partner, I hope this playlist will bring a smile to your face.

Feel free to listen on this post, or head over to Spotify to follow along!

Today is February 1st which means I can finally go full force into Valentine’s Day. Next to Christmas, this is my favorite holiday to DIY for because everything is pink, red, and covered in hearts. Plus, the world is in desperate need of some extra love right now, so why not start with some crafts?

This project is so easy it’s ridiculous. Like, you couldn’t even mess it up after a bottle or two of wine (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything). Here’s how:

Time: 2 minutes
Materials: notebooks, stickers, pencil/ruler

Guys, Valentine’s Day is this weekend. Can you believe it? February is just flying by! If you’re still looking for that perfect card for your sweetie, don’t worry because the internet has you covered with several free options. If you have a printer, then you can sweep your Valentine off their feet without even leaving the house or spending a dime. Now that’s my idea of romance!

And if you’re looking for even more printable Valentine’s, here are the ten I rounded up last year.

10 Minutes or Less: DIY Sequin Heart Treat Bags

Since I’m sure we’re all dealing with a Super Bowl hangover (aka a junk food headache/Beyoncé withdrawal), we’ll keep today’s project easy and simple! With just a few minutes and an iron, you can make some pretty glamorous treat bags for all your Valentines. No mess, fuss or special skills required. Here’s how you can whip up a set in no time at all:

Time: 5 minutes for set of 6
Materials: muslin treat bag, applique hearts, iron

I found these iron on applique hearts on Etsy, but you could easily make your own with fusible web.

Lay your heart sequin side down and position the treat bag over it. Hold iron in place (will be on the back of the bag instead of on top of the heart) for 15 seconds. Let cool, fill with goodies, and you’re all done, just like that.

The great part about these bags is that they’re completely reusable and gift wise, almost just as good as the treats you’ll put inside!

I’m curious to know, because I didn’t even think about this until almost chipping a tooth, but there’s much debate around this: candy hearts, love em or hate em?
