Here's how you can dodge a Valentine's Day disaster

The happiness-inducing power of a smiley face drawn on your frothy cup of coffee is underrated. Just like surprise cuddles from your seemingly demented kitten, someone offering you the last fish finger on a plate, and homemade birthday cards drowning in glitter.

Knowing that someone put in some effort to make you feel special always feels good.

But as adulthood catches up, the craft boxes and customised gifts are replaced by gift cards hurriedly ordered off the internet. Making powerpoint presentations become your only creative outlet and making your loved ones feel special takes a backseat.

And then comes the dreaded Valentine’s Day.

With everyone around you planning getaways and surprise dinners, you realise that your impersonal gift cards, photo frames and candles might just cost you your happily ever after. But don’t go around Googling Tinder tutorials just yet, Forest Essentials has you covered.

With a little help from the luxury wellness brand, there is a pretty good chance of you not ending up as a crazy cat lady.
