  • Anti-Valentine Week 2025 Calendar With Full Dates: What Are the 7 Days of Anti-Romance? Slap Day, Flirt Day, Break Up Day and More, Date Sheet of Self-Growth and Healing

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025 Calendar With Full Dates: What Are the 7 Days of Anti-Romance? Slap Day, Flirt Day, Break Up Day and More, Date Sheet of Self-Growth and Healing

    The world is full of two types of people – those who believe in the power of love, chase the emotion and want to spread it further. And then there are the cynical and the broken hearts who think these celebrations are just a way for people to be annoyingly in love online and completely detest it. The celebration of Anti-Valentine Week is for them, Anti-Valentine Week 2025 will be marked in the week following Valentine’s Day. Starting from February 15 and going on till February 21 – each day of Anti-Valentine Week is focused on being the exact opposite of Valentine’s Week-anti-romance! As we prepare to celebrate Anti-Valentine Week 2025, here is the complete Anti-Valentine Week Calendar and how to celebrate the power of self-growth and healing. Anti-Valentine Week 2025 Full Calendar List: From Slap Day To Breakup Day, Know About the Funny Week Celebrated After Valentine’s Day. 

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 1 – Slap Day (February 15)

    The first day of Anti-Valentine Week is focused on slapping the ones who annoy you. A unserious holiday, this is supposed to be all fun and games and is mainly celebrated in the digital world. It is important to remember that the celebration is intended to be funny and physical slapping is not at the crux of this observation.

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 2 – Kick Day (February 16)

    Kick Day is another observance that is focused on helping people move on from a particularly hard break up. Once again, this observance does not encourage the literal physical act of kicking your ex, but is more focused on kicking their memories from your life and starting afresh.

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 3 – Perfume Day (February 17)

    The third day of Anti-Valentine Week is marked as Perfume Day. One of the funniest celebrations, this observance is marked in two ways. You can either head out and give yourself a perfume that makes you smile. Or you can send your stinky ex a perfume to remind them of their unpleasant odor. Since perfume is often seen as a rude gift to give people you want to pursue, this celebration is sure to put a smile on your face. Valentine Week 2025 Date Sheet: From Rose Day To Kiss Day, Check Full List of Love Week Till Valentine’s Day To Embrace and Celebrate Love. 

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 4 – Flirt Day (February 18)

    The fourth day of Anti-Valentine Week is dedicated to helping you move on and encourages all the singles to indulge in the act of flirting. Flirt Day is usually celebrated by going all out and being unabashedly flirty with your crushes and is a way for people to take their shot.

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 5 – Confessions Day (February 19)

    Confessions Day, as the name suggests, is focused on breaking your silence about the things that you have held in your heart for too long. Whether it is confessing your love or crush for someone in your life or making emotional confessions in a safe space about how much your past relationship hurt you, this day can help you to free your soul from the weight of unsaid words.

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 6 – Missing Day (February 20)

    The second last day of Anti-Valentine Week is focused on helping people become more vulnerable and tell the people you miss, that you miss them. Unless it is your serial cheating ex who does not deserve to be missed, this day is about reaching out to those who were good to you, but came in at the wrong time; or even just friends who you lost contact with.

    Anti-Valentine Week 2025: Day 7 – Break Up Day (February 21)

    The final day of Anti-Valentine Week celebration is focused on not indulging in the act of breaking up, but accepting the fact of a break up. The day is believed to help people move on and is dedicated to being honest and unapologetic about it. It is also a day for those stuck in a toxic cycle to break it, choose freedom and move on.

    The celebration of Anti-Valentine Week, much like Valentine Week, is focused on celebrating love. The difference is that Anti-Valentine Week is all about choosing love for yourself and moving on from the shackles of the past that hold you back, while Valentine’s Week is focused on celebrating the love that propels you forward.

  • Eagles star Saquon Barkley proposes to longtime girlfriend days before Super Bowl LIX: report

    Eagles star Saquon Barkley proposes to longtime girlfriend days before Super Bowl LIX: report

    Before he chases his first Super Bowl ring, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley was reportedly down on one knee giving a ring to his longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon. 

    Barkley is now engaged to Congdon, according to People, as he checks off a major life moment ahead of his biggest career game to date as he and the Eagles head to New Orleans to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX this upcoming Sunday. 

    “I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have so in my career without the help of her,” Barkley told the outlet of Congdon.

    The two share two children together, daughter Jada, 6, and son Saquon Jr., 2, and their pre-game ritual of special handshakes and kisses has gone viral in Barkley’s first season with the Eagles. 

    Barkley and Congdon met at Penn State and have been going strong since 2017. Barkley told People that they will “just sit back and laugh sometimes when [their kids are] over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started.”

    It started with the New York Giants, who took Barkley second overall in the 2018 NFL Draft after a stellar Nittany Lions career. However, after a rollercoaster six seasons in New York, which ended badly after not getting what he wanted contract-wise, Barkley signed with the Eagles in free agency this past offseason.

    Clearly, it was the right move for the running back, as he could have the best running back season of all-time statistically depending on his performance against the Chiefs. 

    Personally, the move has been something Barkley says his family has loved, with the city of Philadelphia embracing him right away despite being their rival for years.

    Barkley and his family were at Lincoln Financial Field sharing quite the moment when green and white confetti rained down on the Eagles after dominating the Washington Commanders, 55-23, in the NFC Championship. 

    “If I could wrap my arms around this memory, I would…” Congdon captioned an Instagram post of her family celebrating the victory that put them in Super Bowl LIX. Barkley commented, “Love you,” with a heart emoji. 

    It has been quite a celebratory year for Barkley, who led the NFL in rushing yards with over 2,000, and it could continue on his 28th birthday, which just so happens to fall on Super Bowl LIX. 

    “The best birthday gift you can have is playing in the Super Bowl and the only thing better than that is winning the Super Bowl on your Birthday,” he said to People. 

    Barkley added that he is not focused on his birthday plans at all, hoping to “continue to play at a high level” to help his team beat the Chiefs, a team chasing NFL history as the only squad to win three straight Lombardi Trophies.

    Barkley scored three touchdowns for the Eagles in the NFC Championship victory over the Commanders, and he certainly will try to do so again in New Orleans, where his now-fiancee and family will be cheering him on.

    The Philadelphia Eagles will have plenty more to play for when they take the field in Super Bowl LIX next Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

    After an air ambulance carrying six people crashed in Northern Philadelphia Friday night, causing a massive explosion that has killed an unconfirmed number of people, the Eagles released a statement expressing condolences for its impacted Philadelphia residents and the victims on board the flight.

    “The Eagles organization was heartbroken to learn of the tragic loss of life earlier this evening as a result of the plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia,” the team said. “We extend our condolences to the victims and loved ones they leave behind. We are grateful to the first responders for their heroic actions at the scene.”

    The plane was scheduled to fly from Philadelphia to Tijuana International Airport, with one technical stop in Springfield, Missouri for fuel, Air Ambulance spokesperson Shai Gold told Fox News Digital.

    A senior Philadelphia fire official told Fox News the fires that were sparked by the crash are “now under control.”

    President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to react to the tragedy.

    “So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged,” Trump wrote. “First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to follow. God Bless you all.”

    Vice President JD Vance later took to X, calling the situation “very sad.”
