J'adore this time of year! 'Tis true that EVERY day you should adorn those you love with affection and appreciation, but to me there is something sweet in doing do something extra special and out-of-the-ordinary. Those special things that every day life doesn't necessarily allow time or energy for....
Some "extra" things I've done for my man on Feb 14, which you can do with little effort for your love. My girlfriends and I even do a little something special for one another on this day. It's a moment to reflect on what you appreciate about those special in your life:
- Set the table with rose petals and lit votives;
- Make an extra special meal;
- Write a message in lipstick on the bathroom mirror;
- Tuck a note into a pocket, briefcase or attach a POST IT note to the rearview mirror;
- Text a random message of love during the middle of the day;
- Breakfast of waffles in the shape of a heart;
- Packed picnic of favorite yummies...enjoyed ON THE BEACH;
- Wine and cheese at a park or beach watching the sunset
- A "Welcome Home Martini" handed as he walks through the door just as if you were transported to being a 1950's housewife! Makes for a good laugh if nothing else!
- An extra-long, lingering hug....
