Solo Valentine's Day Ideas

This year once again I'm having a "solo" Valentine's day because MB can't make it up to Green Bay for the weekend. While it's definitely not a single's Valentine's day, I tend to get a little sad I can't be with my "sweetheart" on Valentine's day. Here are some of the best ideas (in my opinion) of what to do on Valentine's day if you're flying solo in the romance department.

Dinner & A Movie-- With the Girls// Being in a sorority means that there is almost always a group of women who are flying solo. It's a great way to get out and be distracted on Valentine's day. Watching a rom com is always much more fun with your girlfriends than significant other anyway! Treat yourself to a great dinner too.

Night In With Your Girls// Instead of spending more money than needed, pick a place and some movies to hang out with your girls. Pick a fun theme, like a potato bar, or a cookie dough bar! Everyone brings something, and you get a fun, low-cost distraction!

Facetime/Skype Date// If your s.o. is out of the city, schedule a quick FaceTime or Skype date! If your s.o. is just busy (or you're fabulously single) schedule a date with a friend who lives out of town!  It's a great excuse to catch up with a great friend!

Netflix Marathon// Can't find anyone to make plans with? Or not really in the mood to see couples? Set yourself up with some popcorn, an assortment of candy (& alcohol if of age) and pick a show to watch shamelessly. I would suggest Friends, Gossip Girl, House of Cards or Marco Polo.

Volunteer// See if there is any place you can volunteer and give back to your community! Grab some friends or go solo, and spread the love by giving back!

Family Time// If you live anywhere near family, see if they can't get together for a board game night or dinner! It's a great way to spend time with your loved ones!

What are your plans for V-Day? Flying solo or do you have a cute date?

Valentines Day

I can't believe we're already talking about Valentines Day! It seems like only a couple days ago I was putting away my Christmas presents. (Okay so I was... Procrastination station). My plans involve volunteering and my best friend/ roommate. Here is what I would love to wear out with my girlfriends or on a date with MB!

Dress// Earrings//Bracelet//Shoes

I love this dress! Definitely perfect for work to date night wear. It's also not in your face Valentines day all red and pink kind of dress. It's more subtle but yet festive!

What are you doing for Valentines day? Staying in or out?

Valentine's Day Gifts

Yes it's already time to think of Valentine's Day gifts! 

Here are ideas for your guy or significant other, and your girlfriends! All of these gifts are from Etsy and unique. I've been using this for gifts for MB and it's perfect.

Key Chain: Nothing over the top sappy, but something little to carry around to remind him how much you really care. 

Business Card Holder: If you and your guy aren't into sappy gifts, I suggest a business card holder! Men at any age are going to have a use for it! 

Wallet Card Insert: A small, sweet message for your guy to carry around with him always out of sight is the perfect gift. Almost better than a tie!

Initial Bracelet: A cute initial bracelet for your best friend is the perfect way to wish her a Happy Valentines day!

Heart Confetti Print: How adorable is this? I love this print, and your girlfriend will too! It's a really unique gift!

Infinity Bracelets: At a great price, this is the perfect gift for a close group of girls. Each of you can have a beautiful bracelet to remember each other!

Start early on your gifts that way they can be shipped back to you in time to wrap and give out!

Where do you shop for Valentine's Day?
