Valentine’s Day is coming up, so I figured I would share some ways to celebrate the holiday without buying gifts. It can be hard to extricate yourself from the commercialized side of the holiday, with all the stuffed animals, chocolates, and cards in the stores.

I went to Goodwill yesterday, and let's just say that I went a little crazy. There were a lot of employees that I had never seen before, and they were all stocking the racks with new merchandise. I usually like to go through EVERYTHING, but after going through just my favorite sections (sweaters, dresses, anything…
