10 Desserts to beat the Valentines Blues

To be cheesy and cliched, it is the month of love. Fabulous February, with fantastic fairy lights, falling confetti, floating balloons and fervent feelings.Alliteration, anyone?

We say, no thanks.With Valentines Day coming up, it is bound to be a month of platitudes, and annoying love messages cropping up everywhere. Between couples with raging hormones and aspiring Romeos at every turn of every corner, it is hard to catch a break this month.

With red roses, candles, and over the top proclamations galore, it is very easy to feel nauseated this month; especially if you are not a fan of mush, and worse (or better) yet, if you dont have a Valentine. But, really now! That is no reason to not have a good time and partake in the revelry a little.
