By far, February is the best month of the year. The fun from Christmas has died down by now and we've all started to settle into the new year. Then February comes along, the healthy eating New Year's resolutions has gone out the window and there are better things to look forward to. Pancake Day is on the 12th, followed by Valentine's Day on the 14th and then my birthday on the 18th (which usually I try and drag out to a birthday week) - good times.
I'm feeling the love this Valentine's Day. The freezing cold air where my lips feel so sore and numb, shivering immediately from stepping out of the Angel Building. The cold is running up into my coat cursing that tiny gap of exposed skin between where your gloves end and your cardigan begins. Brrr i'm getting cold just thinking about it! But the funny thing is, is that I LOVE it! I like walking past shop windows seeing the Valentine's displays, walking into card shops and seeing people spend time pouring over the Valentine's Day card selection, searching for the perfect one. Maybe it is because I have got that little bit older that I appreciate the warmth and fun of it all. Since I am feeling the love this Valentine's I thought I would spread it, and relay a Top 10 guide of the perfect gifts for this romantic time of year. I feel like Cupid, call me Cupi(n)der if you will.
Valentine Do's
1. Customise M&M's and make them into your very own: www.mymms.co.uk/config/#/customization
2. A weekend break to Paris. It's cliche but who cares, nothing screams more romantic than a smooch under the Eiffel Tower.
3. Roses. Every girl melts over beautiful roses. I despise the colour red (besides red lipstick obviously) but red roses, ah they take me to a dreamy place.
4. Walk into M&S, they have such a cute display of Valentine's things from pink champagne to Valentine crackers. You can't go wrong there.
5. Get down on one knee and propose (in a public place preferably so other people can coo over how cute you both are)
6. Breakfast in bed. You can buy heart shaped pans for fried eggs, cut the toast into hearts too. No qualms.
7. An experience day. There is nothing more fun, especially if you're new in the relationship than a day out wine tasting, or a cooking class.
8. If you can't be together for Valentines, deliver a dozen roses.
9. Sing her/him a love song over skype. "It's all about youuuuu, its all about you baby" - McFly is a winner
10. Asking the person you fancy out for a drink on Valentine's Day.
Valentine Faux Pas
1. Forgetting
2. Spending Valentine's with the boyfers AND his parents
3. Breaking up on Valentine's or just before :(
4. Drunk texting/ drunk dialing your ex. Cringe
5. Being alone on Valentine's Day. Don't be a douche, hate on it together with your girls over a tub of Haagen Daz. Go to a traffic light party with your boys and get with the drunk girl dressed in amber.
6. Taking your girlfriend to McDonald's because you think you're so dope. No you're not, you're an idiot, for many reasons!
7. Sending a smoochy woochy text to your girlfriend's mum by mistake
8. Cooking dinner when neither of you can actually cook
9. Getting drunk on Valentine's Day, work will be painful the day after
10. Dressing your naked body in sushi like Samantha from Sex & the City - no one can pull that off in the real world!!
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day. Cuddles x
