Hello, friends! With less than a couple weeks until Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share a few ideas for how to embrace the holiday, especially if you’re not one to go all out & decorate your house this time of year. Why not fully embrace all the sweet pink, red & heart-happy things in your everyday?! Make it special for you, your friends, your significant other and the kids, too! Here are 12 Simple Ways to Inspire your Valentine’s Day this Year!
A super cute family-friendly snack board! Serve it after school or over the weekend for everyone to enjoy. There are countless things you could put in the middle of any heart-shape outline. Cookies, candies or fruit, cheese & crackers in the shape of a heart like I did here. Just have fun with it!
2 // PUT ON AN LBT [LITTLE BLACK TOP] WITH JEANS + HEELS
I always feel put together with a black top [this one is stunning], a pair of my favorite jeans & a heel. You can’t go wrong with a classic look for date night. Here are a few more date night outfit ideas if you want some inspo.
3 // ADD A POP OF PINK
Try a fun, bold lip or a hot pink heel. Either way you’ll be spicing up your look!
If you’re staying in, be intentional about spending quality time together. Play a game, grab a deck of cards, get ingredients to make a new recipe for dinner. I know if we don’t put something on the calendar or have an actual conversation about the plan, we’ll end up wasting 30 minutes just trying to agree on a movie or show to watch! Date nights in can be so much fun if executed properly 😉
6 // MAKE A COCKTAIL TOGETHER
What’s your go-to at home cocktail of choice?
We love a spicy margarita and have also been into Espresso Martinis lately. My sister made the best ones over the holidays when she was visiting and we’ve recreated them a couple times. I’m going to try to share on the blog soon 😉
7 // CREATE A SWEETS & STRAWBERRIES BOARD FOR DESSERT
So easy to throw a dessert board together! Cookies, chocolates and strawberries for a touch of red.
8 // GATHER YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FOR A GALENTINE’S BRUNCH OR HAPPY HOUR
Again, another board you can throw together at any time. The cute little heart cookies are a sweet touch for Valentine’s day vibes. Gather your gal pals to catch up and celebrate the special women in your life!
9 // MAKE A PINK OR RED MIMOSA
My Christmas morning mimosas are a bold red color, but if you want a pink version, just mix cranberry juice & orange juice. So pretty & feminine 😉
10 // ADD A LOVE NOTE TO YOUR LITTLE ONE’S LUNCHBOX
Leave cute note in your kids’ school lunch for them to find when they open it up to eat. Any notecard will do, but you can also print these cute tags and attach to a treat bag for an extra special surprise. It’s usually the little things that create a memory that lives on forever.
11 // PICK UP A ROMANCE NOVEL & DIVE IN
I’m a sucker for a good love story / beach read type of book. There is nothing better than getting lost in a romance novel! Here are some of the books I’ve read recently.
I’m reading Daisy Jones & the Six now, but can’t wait to dive into It Ends With Us.
12 // THE VALENTINE’S DAY TREAT MIX EVERYONE LOVES!
You can’t go wrong if you whip up a batch of this sweet & salty treat mix. The red & pink M&M’s make it festive for Valentine’s Day and is the perfect little treat to deliver to friends, neighbors or have at home. I love to keep a bag in the freezer and sneak a nibble every now & then!!
13 // WEAR A HOT PINK SWEATER [OR ONE WITH HEARTS OBVI]
