Ahhh...the sky is a beautiful blue, the sun is shining, birds singing, and your in love. Whether it be a new romance or one that has been burning for some years now, Valentines Day is ___ days away. Oh yeah, you heard me right! Now you could be like me and think nothing of this holiday. But honestly, it is a free "You better tell me you freaking love me and show me NOW" day. So take advantage of this love surrendering 24 hour time period. Which leads to our next thought, "what the hell am I going to do for *whatever their name is* ?" So, here are some suggestions for our lovely Long Beach Lovers:

Budget? What is this budget you speak of? Ha ha, just kidding...who isn't living on a budget? Well, I have some ideas for that one too! I personally think that the special dinner at home is so underrated. I personally prefer it. Either get crafty in the kitchen or take out works. My Valentines tradition is to order take out from Francellis (another great Valentine restaurant that won't break the bank!), add my favorite bottle of wine, with a movie and I am all set to snuggle with my hottie on the couch. Baking is always a way to someones' heart, especially if you bake it yourself and make it extra special. And guys, they make that awesome pre-made cookie dough to bake in a flash. You would honestly make your girls' day!

Here are some great things I think can liven up your Valentine's Day:
*I'm old school, I am such a sucker for the mixed cd! So go for it, mix some of your favorite and meaningful songs and share with your Valentine.
*Romance Etc. Seriously, I think that is all I had to say. You will definitely find something.
*KamaSutra.com..um...yeah, EVERYTHING you need is here! LOVE IT! And in strawberry too!
* Bath and Body Works. Japanese Cherry Blossom and Black Amethyst are wonderful! They have something for every budget too!
*Chocolate covered strawberries. Either buy them or make them (click HERE for the recipe). Better yet, make them together! I am sure it will make for a very sweet and romantic night. *wink*
