Valentines: Sweet Yummy Candy

This Valentine’s Day show your love with some sweets. I tend to overeat during special occasions: birthdays, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, you name it. There’s nothing I can do about it. I LOVE chocolates. If you ever have to win me over, just show up with chocolate and I will melt at your feet. Other top munchies I love: macarons and creme brûlée. That’s why I work out like a maniac on the days between special occasions. So that I don’t have to worry about it. If your sweetheart loves the yum yums, like I do, you should keep reading.

Valentines: Romantic Dinner Decor

So I went a little crazy with this post. I found too many cute ideas and had to include most of them. (Yes, this massive post does not mention everything I stumbled upon during my valentine’s saga. There was more, way more stuff.) So I kept the few items that would make the perfect decoration for Valentines’s Day. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using ALL of the decorations below. It might look like a cupid went on a decorating rampage in your living room. A few of them will achieve the mood you are going for.

Beeswax Candles

Only the finest beeswax is used to produce these slow-burning candles. They’re made in Illinois by the descendants of a French beekeeper who settled there in 1863. His high standards still prevail. Virtually smoke and drip free, the solid beeswax pillars and tapers feature top-quality, woven wicks that ensure even burning.

Valentines: Romantic Breakfast in Bed

That’s interesting, we usually celebrate Valentine’s at breakfast time or dinner time. I understand that we are usually working on Valentine’s Day but a special surprise lunch at a restaurant can also be quite romantic. It would not be fun to go back to work afterwards but then you can continue the celebrations at home after a light dinner :)

Today I’m showcasing some adorable serveware that would make a surprise in bed even more special.

Valentines: West Elm Gift Guide For Him

I believe finding a Valentine’s Day gift for guys is just as easy as finding one for girls. The difference lies on the type of gift you look for. Guys would prefer a useful gift over a thoughtful gift covered in hearts. Although, as a girl, I do give extra brownie points to heart covered gifts if they are useful. It’s like finding the most beautiful skirt you’ve seen all day and then you realize: IT ALSO HAS POCKETS! Boom! That skirt just became my favorite skirt ever.

So back to buying gifts for guys. West Elm has a great array of Men’s Valentine’s Day gifts and I have a few of them listed here. Go ahead and take a gander.
