Happy Valentine's Day!

This year I am sending a special Valentine to all of my beautiful readers. I hope you have a fantastic weekend and indulge in some delicious sweets without going into a sugar coma!

Whether you are heading out with a special someone or staying in with a stack of mushy, romantic comedies, remember to have fun! V-Day tends to be a celebration that people either love or despise but even if you are single and not quite ready to mingle a girls night in or dinner with family can also be an evening well spent.

I will be doing something with my husband this year, I told him to surprise me but I’m totally down for an intimate dinner and a movie. I usually prefer gifts that don’t wilt because I can’t maintain flowers or plants to save my life! Right now I’m obsessed with Lindt’s dark chocolate coconut bar and although it will probably go straight to my hips I can’t resist! On the bright side dark chocolate is supposed to be good for you...or at least that’s what I tell myself after I eat half the bar :)

I don't know if it is proper Valentine's etiquette to have a wish list since spontaneity is romantic but as a makeup lover you can bet that I don't have my sights set on an over sized teddy bear...unless it is filled with goodies from Sephora! What I do want is more storage drawers from Ikea so that the obsession can happily continue. 

I am also having a girl’s day with my favorite little Valentine, my sister Amanda. The day is not limited to romantic love, it can be dedicated to all kinds of love and I like to give my family little gifts to let them know I am thinking of them. Mandy and I will be heading to the theater to see the new Fifty Shades of Grey film since we read the series for our book club. We will also enjoy a little sisterly dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant to catch up on life.

I have published a few Valentine's inspired makeup and skincare posts laden with roses, pink and hearts galore so feel free to kick back with a glass of your favorite beverage and check those out.

Whatever your plans this weekend make sure to relax, let your hair down and enjoy!

 Happy Valentine’s Day!
