Written by Perri Schneider

Joolies Dates has teamed up with Perri Schneider, dating and relationship expert, for a two-part series on self love and partner love for Valentine's Day and beyond. After all, we love date-ing and we love to have pun at Joolies in all aspects of life. Enjoy!


This year has truly forced us to be more creative than ever, coming up with ways to stay entertained while staying home and staying safe. While past Valentine’s Days’ with your partner were spent out of your home in a romantic restaurant setting, this year, as Emeril says, “let’s kick it up a notch!” 😉 Instead of relying on a restaurant to woo your partner, take the time to put the effort in and turn your home into your own enchanting destination. Here are a few ways to make this unique Valentine’s Day into a truly special holiday and make any date night at home more than just Netflix and Chill 💕
