But the most important thing is:

You don't have and/or don't want a loved one at the moment? This post is also for you! #selfcare

Love is known to be the most beautiful thing in the world. Whether it's love for your partner, your friends or yourself. And even though Valentine's Day is more of a commercial day, we think it's a great opportunity to celebrate this love every year. But spoiler alert: you can use any other day for that too!

Because let's be honest: In everyday life, we don't tell our loved ones enough how important they really are to us. Appreciation is sometimes a tricky thing - it often gets neglected.

The same applies to ourselves: When was the last time you told yourself what a great person you are and how much you love yourself? Of course, we should do this as often as possible, but unfortunately we are often much more busy criticizing ourselves.

So, here's a little task for today: take a piece of paper and a pen and write down at least five things that you really like about yourself. We're sure that once you start, you'll think of a lot more.

But back to dating: What can you do during the pandemic without endangering yourself and your loved ones? Don't worry, we got you: We have some guaranteed pandemic-proof dating tips for you.

1. One extensive hike in the forest with hot tea from the thermos and delicious sandwiches.
2. Together a course book.
   How about a wild herb hike, for example?
3. A soothing spa day at home .
   Whether with your best friend or your partner: make your own masks, unpack massage oil and do something good for each other.
