14 Valentine’s Day Dates for Under $100
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! One thing I hate about Valentine’s Day is that it is too close to the holiday season. With all the money spent at Christmastime, it doesn’t leave much money for a lavish Valentine’s Day excursion. These Valentine’s Day dates will help you have fun and save money.

Define Yourself By What You Love
While scrolling through Facebook one day, I ran across a video of Tim Minchin giving a speech at the commencement ceremony for The University of Western Australia. His speech was wonderful and quite entertaining, but one thing he said really struck a chord with me. While taking about the nine life lessons, he mentioned that it’s important to define yourself by what you love. He goes on to tell the students to be pro-stuff, not just anti-stuff.
