(3) Prefer something a little more intimate? Treat yourself to a relaxing massage from Kathy Gordon, a bodywork healer who practices Shiatsu/Thai. Kathy believes that, “L.A. is a very high energy place – full of many people, much traffic, and endless activity. My bodywork allows people to slow down, to stay connected to their inner being so they can attract everything they need.” Who knows, maybe a massage with Kathy will help you attract the perfect Valentine?

My Valentine’s days tend to be a bit of a snore but I remember I had a guy I was seeing who was an art teacher for kids. He made me a heart with 20 different layers out of construction paper and I just thought it was incredibly romantic that he took the time to do it.
Sadly it didn’t work out, but it’s a great memory
