Whether you're head over heels, flying solo, or just charging through life, this week is all about finding what lights your fire.

For the couples, we've got everything from last-minute dinner ideas to treats that pack a punch and some bold comedy that'll have you grinning like a champ.

And if you're riding solo, no sweat. Make this weekend about finding whatever makes you feel alive, whether that's crushing it at the gym, conquering that mountain of leftovers in your fridge, or finally mastering the art of folding fitted sheets (your secret's safe with us).
