Pampering Gifts for Valetine's Day

Flowers or chocolates are nice. But honestly, I am not that type who like receiving these kinds of gifts. I would much prefer getting pampering gifts - stuff that I could actually use. And my husband knows it too well so he has taken a hint over the past few years. You know the type - shower gel, body scrubs, scented candles. These win me over!

If you are this type, too, you might want to send over these items to your man:

French Girl Organics Sea Soak
Organic Blendz Coffee Body Scrub
The Face Shop Green Tea Face Mask
Kai Reed Diffuser
The Candleroom Lavender Essential Oil
Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Night Fragrance Lotion
Little Giraffe Chenille Robe

What other types of gifts do you like to receive, especially on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is slowly but surely creeping up on us. Hence, I bring you the first edition of Valentine's Day posts.

You have one day to make things extra special to celebrate your relationship with that special someone. It does not hurt to dress up a little and enjoy that romantic night looking your best. After all, as the old adage says, the better you look, the better you feel too!

Pretty in Peach

OUTFIT DETAILS
Dress / Earrings (c/o) / Watch (c/o) / Bag / Shoes

Valentine's Day might be over but romance is still in the air. This pink hollow out flare dress from Shein is giving me that vibe, at least. The moment I saw this dress on the website, I couldn't get myself to not buy it especially at only $27. If you have been a regular reader, then you know that Shein is one of my favorite places to shop for online. This one is another great deal I've found on the website and it makes for the perfect date night dress.


OUTFIT DETAILS
Dress / Earrings (c/o) / Watch (c/o) / Bag / Shoes

I know a lot of women who would refuse to wear pink. Not me - I like all kinds of pink. Hot pink, blush, peach, old rose and coral are just a few of my favorites. In fact, I convinced my husband to make peach one of our wedding motifs for our big day (peach and mint were our wedding colors). Thus, I envisioned wearing this dress to a special date night with him. Thankfully, I don't have to wait for Valentine's Day to get a romantic treat as we make it a point to have date nights at least once a month.

If you are looking for romantic date night dresses, Shein has a few more options below (as my dress is currently sold out): 


Black Hollow Out Flare Dress / Pink Hollow Out Flare Dress / Grey A-Line Dress
Black Crochet Lace Dress / Red Hollow Out Fit & Flare Dress / Pink Oversized Bell Sleeve Dress

What is your idea of a romantic dress?


Stay in Touch!

3 Date Night Looks from Lulu's for Valentine's

I confess; the hubby and I rarely ever celebrate Valentine's Day. More often than not, we prefer to stay at home, cook pasta or grill some ribs, and then stream a movie or two while sharing a blanket in bed. But for our first Valentine's Day, we might want to do things a bit differently. It's our first Valentine celebration since we tied the knot, so it's kind of a big deal!

Looking at the gorgeous dress selection at Lulu's is also quite inspiring. I've curated three looks from the website that I wanted to try out but I can't decide. Help me out, which of these three date night looks do I go for?


Sexy Black Maxi Dress / Three Love Black Dress Sandals / Gold and Black Choker Necklace / Gold Ring Set


Nude Rhinestone Pumps / Gold Threader Earrings / Marsala Dress




Cobalt Strapless Dress / Silver Rhinestone Collar Necklace / Gold Rhinestone Earrings / Rose Gold Rhinestone Clutch

I'd love to hear your thoughts on which look should I go for? What kind of look will you be wearing for your Valentine's date this year?

What Makes a Good Valentine Outfit + Shein Promo

Valentine’s Day might sound like a cliché and yet you often find yourself planning something special for the occasion. It is one of those times in a year (aside from your loved one’s birthday or anniversary) when you go all-out on planning the perfect date or searching for the perfect gift. With only a little less than two weeks from Valentine’s Day, I’ll be sharing a few outfit inspirations you can use to plan your outfit:

Midi Skirt

Officially Wifey / Shoe Sizers / Off the Grid

A midi skirt is a must in my closet. The midi length exemplifies a regal and sophisticated look, which I like to go for in date night looks. When paired with a classic pair of pumps, they can make an outfit stand out.

Maxi Dress

Tribal Maxi Dress / eShakti / Red Maxi

A maxi dress is another favorite of mine and a good choice for Valentine’s Day. A long dress is easily the best way to incorporate some dramatic flair to your outfit.

Floral

Holiday Dress / Blooming Beauty / Sexy Floral

For a date night look, I’d like to keep it feminine and dainty. The best print to achieve that is floral! It’s a great option for date night looks all year round, not just for Valentine’s Day. Meanwhile, here are a few dresses I've picked out from the Shein promotion for Valentine's Day:


1 / 2 / 3
1 / 2 / 3

Valentine's Outfit Ideas: Dress Styles

With the clock ticking towards Valentine's Day, you might be hard at work on finding last minute gift ideas for your significant other. For us, we decided to keep it low-key like we always do. We despise the crowd during the "holiday". Hence, we prefer to stay at home and cook our own dinner. But like I always say, you do not have to do it our way. Every couple has their own unique way to express their affection for each other. If you prefer to go on a fancy date, it is therefore important to get dressed for the occasion.
