It's that time of year again. The run-up to Valentine's Day is upon us. Stationery shops are jam-packed with glittery heart-shaped cards to send to your sweetie, romantic vajazzles (cringe) are selling like hot cakes, and a lot of us are starting to wonder how to celebrate this "holiday" with that special someone or with your fellow single friends. Should you go for the v-day couple's massage special at your local spa, or will you end up hanging upside down dressed like Katie Price, clutching a pole for dear life with your friends at a pole dancing class? I can't say I am a huge fan of Valentine's Day or that I am bff with Cupid, but if there was one thing I would recommend doing on the 14th of February it would be to get snogging.
No, I am not suggesting to go snog (the British slang for sucking face aka 'tonsil hockey') at random at Maggie's after far too many roofie coladas, only to wake up hoping you haven't been tagged on Facebook in the act of disgracing yourself to the delight of your friends. Snog, the frozen yogurt (or as we call it in Cali - 'fro yo') store located around London, is a place that is very close to my heart and if you have a sweet tooth like I do, it is certainly worth trying. Staying true to my Californian upbringing, I have a soft spot for fro yo even on the coldest days of February, and Snog is hands down my top-pick for fro yo in London.

A Snog is fat-free, so if you aren't a romantic, then why not ditch the cliché Valentine's Day couples specials and snog your heart out at Snog without breaking the bank or your diet? You can still wear your naughtiest v-day knickers -I won't judge- while you treat yourself to fro yo and the numerous yummy Snog toppings to choose from.

Whether you want to spend this Valentine's Day at home with tissues in hand as you watch The Notebook, or celebrate being fabulous and single with your friends, surely a trip to Snog is one of the best ways to honor good old Saint Valentine? So far, my Valentine's Day plans consist of a very romantic curry with my other half and one of my favorite couples, Scott and Mathilde, who are so fun and hilarious that it is highly likely my clothes will be covered in chicken tikka masala from laughter. I might just have to stop by Snog on my way home - curry stains and all.
Sending you a big early v-day snog,
Blondon xoxo
