The Perfect Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Are you a lover or a hater of Valentine’s Day? I’ve always loved it, whether I’ve had a Valentine or not. It’s just a fun, whimsical holiday that can be serious in love or just a happy-go-lucky day. Yeah, people call it the Hallmark Holiday, but who cares? It’s an excuse to show extra love and joy than usual.

Anyway – if you had to choose what would make your PERFECT Valentine’s Day – what would it entail? For me, it’s pretty simple – all I want this year is a bottle of pink champagne to enjoy and a bunch of delicious cupcakes. Specifically these Baked by Melissa cupcakes – if you are ever in NYC, you have to try them. They’re about the size of a quarter – and a bit expensive – but the flavors are out of this world and the small size allows for more taste-testing! I think I also want some pizza to cheat on my diet and make this V-Day extra perfect. Of course, diamonds would be nice, but I’m trying to keep it low budget it this year!!!

So, tell me what would make today your ideal Valentine’s Day?

A Love Affair with White Desks

It must be all of the love flowing around from Valentine’s Day yesterday, because apparently today I’m having a love affair with white desks. Initially, I meant to round up some inspiring and invigorating office spaces, but then I realized they all had a white desk. And aside from the ghost chair, each desk is paired with a white office chair!

My love affair is probably because white desks clearly work in every situation, whether the walls are bright white, soft pink or a bold black. And because of the sleek brightness they add and the versatility it provides for surrounding decor.

What are you thoughts on a white desk in your office space?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Did you know that an estimated $17.6 billion will be spent on Valentine’s Day this year? That is a LOT of dough!

Just in the United States,  26 million heart-shaped boxes of candy and 170 million flower bouquets and plants will be gifted to all sorts of sweethearts. Ladies, if you don’t have a sweetheart, rest assured – 15% of women order flowers for themselves!

Are you the type that finds Valentine’s commercialized and unnecessary or do you prefer to embrace the cheesy cliches of it all?

Super Bowl Sunday

Although we started with some Valentine’s Day inspiration yesterday and the ideas are flowing, they’ve got to be put on the back burner for some Super Bowl Sunday ideas, since it’s just a few days away. It’s kind of ironic when you think about it, if you stereotype the two events as one super-macho and one super-girly, that they’re so close to each other! Fine by me, especially if my guy wins a nice chunk of change in a Super Bowl pool, I better have a nice V-day gift coming my way!

Anyway, I heard on the radio today that approximately 7 million people call out of work the Monday after Super Bowl. Can you imagine!?! I didn’t think it was that crazy of a day, but apparently so.

Will you be doing anything special on Super Bowl Sunday? The image above is from Party City, so if you need some last minute decorations - they’re the place to go!

Valentine’s Day Decor

Valentine’s Day is just a little bit less than two weeks away and it’s popping up in my mind. I always think about doing something fun and putting together a nice table, dinner, desserts, etc and then I get lazy. So maybe if I start now, I’ll have it all together by February 14th.

To get myself in gear, I rounded up some Valentine’s Day tables and displays for some inspiration. Maybe I’ll search for some printables to make things a bit easier!

What about you? Do you have anything up your sleeve for V-day??
