"LIVING 808."
OKAY.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT VALENTINE'S
DAY IS ON FEBRUARY 14TH.
THAT'S NEXT WEDNESDAY.
WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT
THE DAY BEFORE, FEBRUARY 13, IS
GALENTINE'S DAY.
HERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS,
MISS MEDIA, SAMANTHA SWITALSKI.
SHE HAS TIPS ON HOW WE CAN
CELEBRATE THE NONOFFICIAL
HOLIDAY.
HELLO.
THANKS FOR.
US.
WHAT IS GALENTINE'S DAY.
GALENTINE'S DAY WAS
ORIGINATED FROM A PARKS AND REC
EPISODE.
IT'S A LITTLE GOOFY, BUT IT'S A
GREAT WAY FOR WOMEN TO COME
TOGETHER, SINGLE OR MARRIED, AND
CELEBRATE EACH OTHER.
Trini: I LIKE IT.
SO WHAT ARE SOME WAYS THAT
LADIES ARE CELEBRATING
GALENTINE'S DAY?
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS.
YOU CAN GET SUPER CREATIVE.
MY THREE FAVORITES WOULD BE
HAVING A DINNER WITH OLD
FRIENDS.
HAVING A LITTLE ADVENTURE WITH
NEW FRIENDS OR --
Trini: THE SPA.
CAN I SEE IT THERE ON THE
GRAPHIC.
SPA.
GOING OUT TO THE SPA.
I LIKE THAT.
ALL THREE OF THOSE SOUNDS GREAT
TO ME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE USE PINTRIST.
HOW COULD IT HELP SOMEONE PLAN A
GALENTINE'S PARTY.
IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO
PLAN ANYTHING.
PINTREST IS GREAT.
YOU CAN PLAN ANYTHING FROM A
BRUNCH, A DINNER, COSTUME PARTY.
YOU CAN GET CREATIVE.
WHAT'S REALLY GREAT IS YOU CAN
PIN ALL OF YOUR TIPS TO A SECRET
BOARD AND GO BACK LATER.
IT'S GREAT.
Trini: I LIKE THAT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME VIDEO HERE
TO GIVE YOU SOME SAMPLES.
TELL ME ABOUT MEET UP.COM.
IT'S THIS FABULOUS PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE IN
YOUR LOCAL AREA THAT HAVE
SIMILAR INTERESTS.
YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WITH SOME
OF THE INTERESTS.
ANYTHING FROM HIKING TO SURFING.
WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU LIKE TO
DO.
Trini: THIS IS NOT A DATING
SITE.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH --
ANY OF THOSE.
Trini: IT'S MEET UP.COM.
FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENLARGE
THEIR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.
IT'S GREAT.
AND YOU CAN SET UP YOUR OWN
MEETUP.
IF YOU WANT TO INVITE PEOPLE
WITH YOUR INTEREST, YOU CAN DO
THAT.
Trini: WHO DOESN'T LIKE
YOUR SPA DAY?
NUMBER THREE ON YOUR LIST.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LADIES ARE
DOING.
WITH A -- WHAT A LOT OF WOMEN
DO, THEY'LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE DEAL.
IT'S FUN IF YOU WANT TO
COORDINATE A GIRLS OUTING.
THE SPA IS A GREAT OPTION AND
GROUPON MAKES THAT AFFORDABLE.
Trini: THERE ARE TIME WHEN
MY HUSBAND IS NOT AVAILABLE SO I
WILL BRING A GIRLFRIEND.
WHY NOT?
ESPECIALLY ON A DAY WHERE YOU'RE
CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIP LIKE
GALENTINE'S DAY.
ANY OTHER TIPS BEFORE WE GO?
I LOVE THE APP HUB SPOT.
HOBNOB, SORRY.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE WHERE YOU CAN
MAKE GORGEOUS INVITATIONS.
YOU CAN SEND THEM TO ALL YOUR
FRIEND USING YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

IT'S SO EASY.
Trini: IT'S AN INVITE ON --
BY TEXT OR E-MAIL?
AN APP.
IT WILL INVITE BY TEXT OR
E-MAIL.
IT'S A HANDY INVITATION TOOL.
Trini: GREAT.

EVITE.
AND WITH YOUR CIRCLE THE
FRIENDS, WHY NOT?
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SAM.
