  • Unconventional movies to watch this Valentine’s Day

    Happy Valentine’s Day everyone or, if you don’t celebrate it, Happy Thursday! One day closer to the weekend. 😊 Personally it’s never been a holiday I’ve put much time into, but when Aaron suggested we have a movie night in watching horror movies, I couldn’t say no. I’ll find any excuse to watch a horror movie to be honest, haha. So without further ado, here’s my list of unconventional movies…

Having said that, I do seem to end up doing something – whether I’m a relationship or a singleton. This Valentines Day, I worked 08:30 – 16:00 and came home to this in the living room:- Basically a dozen red roses displayed over the house in small…
