Happy New Year everyone! Now let's talk about Valentine's Day. I went to the convenient store by house on the second and there they were, hearts and teddy bears. Everything was covered in red and pink colors. They had heart shaped balloons everywhere and I got to thinking about the last eleven Valentine's Days I've had with my hubby.
Before I met him I hated Valentine's Day. It's probably because I never really had a valentine. Then I met my other half and he swept me off my feet. He used to leave me single red roses on the wind-shield of my car with little love notes. He would actually find my car parked somewhere near the blue line and leave these little message for me. He would make reservations at amazing restaurants and would have the place cover our table in rose petals and lit votives. He sent me flowers to work or my home. He would buy me clothes and once he booked two first class tickets to Paris. I think the best gift he ever gave me or has given me since is himself. He has been a constant figure in my life and whenever I need someone he is always there. He has held my hand through the best and worst moments of my life.
If you have a special someone,and not sure what to do for Valentine's Day, don’t worry. Below are my Valentine's Day ideas with you. I will use my eleven years of experience to help you plan a great evening.
For a good time with little money to spend:
1) Go to red box and cook something nice at home. Red box is a dollar a movie sold at Walmart, Walgreens, Jewel-Osco, and Dominick’s
2) Stay Home. Stay in bed. Together.
3) Go to a restaurant for your favorite dessert. It’s cheaper than the whole meal and you still get to go out.
4) Champagne toast at your favorite bar.
5) Chocolate covered strawberries are always nice and you can make them at home.
6) Naughty bored game and your favorite red wine.
if you've got some extra cash:
1) The 95th in the Hancock or also known as the Signature Room. Amazing views great food and the drinks are divine.
2) Frontera grill is a great Mexican food place. Yes it can be expensive but again if you have the cash go for it.
3) Two plane tickets to anywhere special
4) Go to the theater. There is always a show in this city.
5) Book a room at the Marriot on the magnificent Mile. Indoor pool with amazing view. If you ask they will have champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for you.
6) A horse and carriage ride downtown can also be very lovely.
7) Head out to Wisconsin to a bed and breakfast away from city.
Whether or not money is an object, when you’re in love, there is always a way to celebrate this day surrounded by the three things: good food, good drinks and great sex because, c'mon, hotel sex can be pretty great.
Cheers,
Mimi
