10 Adorable Valentine's Day Gifts (For Her) …

So what are your plans for February 14? For those who are romantically involved, have you shopped for a gift for your boy/girl? If the answer is no to the previous question, this short gift guide will help you. Take note, though, that these are gifts ideal for girls. To ladies who are reading this, you may bookmark this post and find a subtle way to make the boyfriend read it. Or, you know, point and say “I want this, PLEASE.”

1. Pincushion Necklace

Price: $45 at shanalogic

I sew. I craft. And yes, I let the boyfriend know that I want this necklace. In a subtle way, of course. You will love this neckalce because the red felt looks gorgeous paired with the silver-colored thimble and sterling silver chain. This comes with real push pins, too. Great for emergencies, methinks.

2. Emily Rose Cameo Necklace

Price: $15 at shanalogic

The perfect gift for a girly-girl! Not only is the cameo pendant in adorable pink, the ball chain is as well. For guys, give this to your girl with a note along the lines of “you make me see the world through rose-colored glasses” or something like that. We’ll guarantee that she’ll swoon!

3. Loveye

Price: $29 at shanalogic

This wonderfully handmade plushie will be a perfect sleeping companion for your girl. We suggest that you don’t give it with a note that says “I’m keeping an eye on you.” That’s just wrong.

4. Glass Stitched Heart Necklace

Price: $35 at shanalogic

Something for a girl with slightly morbid interests. Or someone who loves Dexter, medical shows, or unique jewelry. The stitched heart pendant isn’t the only great thing about this necklace. The lock and key toggle clasp is awesome, too.

7 Cool Valentine’s Day Quotes …

7 Cool Valentine's Day Quotes …

If you're looking for a love quote to put on a card to your loved one, than see if any of the 7 cool Valentine's Day quotes I've listed below are of interest to you. They were fun to find! I'm always up for something that strays away from the traditional 'Roses are red, Violets are blue…'. Maybe one of the quotes below will inspire you to write your own lovely limerick.

7. I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. – Unknown Author

Isn't this the truth? When someone mentions Valentine's Day, I think of heart-shaped items, kisses, love letters, and romantic moments. However, the Latin word 'cupido' does mean 'desire', which is why he's associated with love and usually Valentine's Day as well. He is considered to be the god of affection, desire, and erotic love, which makes sense because he is said to be the son of the goddess Venus.

6. Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. – Kay Knudsen

I like quotes that rhyme. This one is sweet, it rhymes, and it isn't cheesy. I think it's perfect for a Valentine's Day card to just about anyone, since it isn't directed toward any particular person. It is merely a statement and a lovely one at that.

5. The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love. – Margaret Atwood

It's hard to imagine that there would be that many names for snow, which is what attracted me first to this quote. I do have to agree with Miss Atwood though, love is definitely important enough to require more than just a single word for it.

9 Cool Movies to Watch This Valentine’s Day …

9 Cool Movies to Watch This Valentine's Day …

February 14th will be here before I know it. There are tons of movies that remind me of this lovely time of year, even if they weren't specifically created for that particular day. I've made a list of 9 cool movies to watch this Valentine's Day, in case you're looking for something to enjoy while you snuggle up on the couch with your sweetie.

9. Say Anything

Almost everyone has seen or at least heard about the most famous scene in this movie. You know the one: Lloyd Dobler stands outside of Diane Court's home and blares the song, In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel on a boom box in order to woo Miss Court. There's a little bit of family drama included in this movie, so it isn't totally about two people defying the odds and trying to be together, as so many romantic dramas are.

8. While you were Sleeping

Yes, this is a rather odd love story. Lucy Moderatz pretends to be involved romantically with a man whom she's been watching as he commutes on the train each day. Peter Callaghan falls into a coma after two muggers push him onto the tracks. Lucy rescues Peter and goes with him to the hospital where she is mistakenly taken to be his fiancée. The funny part is that Lucy doesn't deny being Peter's fiancée. I won't give any more away, just in case you haven't seen it. This is one of those great romantic comedies that are able to make me laugh and say, 'Awwwww'.

7. The Princess Bride

I know this isn't your typical Valentine's Day flick, but you have to admit that it is romantic in an odd sort of way. There's humor, wit, sarcasm, romance, and love all rolled into one crazy flick. How often do you get to see a movie that has both Billy Crystal and Andre the Giant in it? This has always been one of my favorite movies anyway, so why not include it in my list of cool movies for Valentine's Day.

Phil was a handsome man who got dressed up in his finest clothes and headed to the pub down the road. He noticed a woman sitting at the end of the bar who wouldn't stop staring at him. Flattery took over and Phil headed over to talk to the lady. He made his voice deep and sultry and said, "I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, but on one condition."

The woman had to shake herself out of her trance and then asked, "What is your condition?"

Phil says, "You must tell me your wish in only 3 words."

The woman paused and then gave Phil a slip of paper with her address scrawled on it. She then leaned forward with her eyes closed and whispered, "Clean my house."

9 Things To Do In February …

9 Things To Do In February …

February is a month full of love and romance, and many times, lots of snow too! I like to make a special list of special things to do each month, just to make life a little happier. Today, I share my list with you in the hope that you, too, will do these nine things this February!

1. Have a Chocolate Tasting Party

Host an all chocolate party for your gal friends! Send an invitation to each guest with the request for each of him or her to bring a different chocolate dish. (You may want to designate the dishes, that way nobody duplicates) Pair with some white and red wines (of whatever else you like to drink) and have a chocolaty-good time!

2. Write Some Love

Forget going to the store and getting the valentine’s day card that all the other women are getting their sweethearts! Create your own! Whether you want to create one on the computer or hand-create one, the words coming from your own heart and hand are sure to make that special someone feel so much more special! Write two or three and hide them in different places for them to find!

3. Go Crazy With Candles

Nothing says hot, steamy romance like lots of flaming candles, softly lighting a room. Make sure, however, if they are different scents, that they are coordinating scents. I don’t recommend burning a sweet pea candle and an apple cinnamon one, but burning something like “pumpkin spice” and apple cinnamon do go well together.

When was the last time someone gave you a mix tape? I have never received one in my entire life. For real. This gift is perfect for a perfect combination of vintage and whimsy.

4. For Your Man

Closet Therapy gives us amazing ideas on what to get your guy this Valentine’s Day. From super fancy to low-key, you’ll love her suggestions.

7 Longest Celebrity Marriages …

[Happy Valentine's Day, ladies! We have here a perfectly-timed post from the lovely gals over at Have U Heard?? Here's to love!]

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I went looking for celebrity love. Hollywood relationships seem to have a shorter life-span than less public relationships. But I found ten celebrity couples, whose love has stood the test of time.   These stars have been able to avoid the many pitfalls of marriage and were able to nurture their love and relationship.

1. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson met on the set of their movie, Volunteers, back in 1985, married in 1988 and have never looked back. A Hollywood couple to end all Hollywood couples, the two work together and support each other: she has supported his career decisions and even coached him on his accent for The Terminal, he played office gopher while she produced the blockbuster My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The couple have two children.

2. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith met when she tried out for an episode of Will's television show, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, back in 1990 and married in 1997. The very close couple not only raises three children together (two of their own, son Trey is Will's from a prior relationship) but they work together (the two starred in Ali together back in 2001. They both have agreed that divorce is not an option and work very hard on their careers and their marriage.

3. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have made it past their 25th wedding anniversary and have one of the longest marriages in recent Hollywood history. The two are notoriously private about their relationship but have three children from their long union and are still going strong.

4. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas have been married for 11 years. It might be the reported prenuptial agreement they have between them that reportedly states that Michael owes her millions for any indiscretion during their marriage if they divorce, but whatever the case, this marriage tamed notorious womanizer Douglas. Douglas reportedly said, "I want to father your children" when he met Zeta Jones and they've done just that, as they now have two children.

10 Ways to Find a Date for Valentine's Day …

Being single on Valentine’s Day isn't a bad thing, but no one can be blamed for wanting a date! Luckily, there are lots of ways to meet that special someone these days, irrespective of your hobbies. Here are my favourite ten ways to find a date in time for Valentine’s Day!

1. A white elephant party

There are white elephant parties everywhere, so sign up, or host your own! The general rule is that everyone has to bring a single friend. It's okay for couples to come, but they have to display something to show that they aren't single… this is usually by wearing a certain colour, but could be anything. Then make sure you mingle, talk to everyone and collect phone numbers. Also have a good strategy incase you don’t want to give your phone number out. If you don't find a date, you'll atleast have made loads of friends.

2. Look at the 'Local Events'

Check out what's going on in your local area, and attend all the ones of interest to you. Whether it's a festival, mini golf or a game, it's the perfect place to meet likeminded people, and starting conversations will be easy as you've already got something in common to talk about!

3. Try speed dating

In the run up to Valentine’s Day, many bars and clubs start hosting speed dating nights, which is the perfect place to meet someone with similar interests! Practise what you can say about yourself, as you only have 60 seconds to introduce yourself, learn about them and decide if you are interested, and go and have fun. Who knows what will happen?
