Valentine's Day Ideas

If the stress of what to do for Valentines Day is enough to make you crazy here are some simple, yet romantic Valentine's Day Ideas.  If you are anything like me, you would rather plan a romantic night in rather than deal with the chaos of the over crowded restaurants, movie theaters etc....


My favorite idea is the romantic tent, we have done this ourselves (my romantic tent)  If setting up outside is not realistic for where you live, buy a cheap tent and set up camp in your living room. Decorate the inside with lots of bedding, pillows, & lights.  You can set it up to eat dinner inside your tent or open the front to face the TV & watch a romantic movie.... maybe Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Notebook, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind




 


 If setting up camp is not quite your thing, schedule a Couples Massage at home.
Set up your living room with candles, music & dim the lights.  The masseuse will supply everything else including a relaxing evening at home with your loved one



Another one of my favorites is the drive-in.  Order a pizza beforehand or grab some fast food on the way. There is just something about laying down the seats crawling into the back of the car and making a big comfy bed to curl up in.



If you are more on the frisky side here is a fun game to try, bedroom twister.  You can buy the sheets already made Bed Games  or you can easily make some yourself.




 Lastly, make a photo album of pictures from when you first met & reminisce together all that you have done along the way.  It's a great way to remember special times spent together & bring back the feelings you had on those special occasions.




Whatever it is you choose to do with your loved one I hope it's a special Valentine's Day for you

Romantic Tent


Like many of you, I too am addicted to Pinterest…. who is the genius that came up with that?  I was cruising thru all kinds of stuff recently and came across this cute little tent.  Hmmm I thought, what could I possibly do with this cute little thing??  Turns out they were for sale ;) saa~weet!
 Unfortunately they are charging $ 250.00 bummer.. just not in my budget for a tent.  SO…… the wheels in my head start turning fast lol….
Here was my Inspiration, cute huh?
(doesn’t include any accessories)

original design by Monk & Honey

This was my creation
~Glamorous Camping~ aka Glamping
     It measures 6′ tall 7′ deep (it was 7′ tall but I had to cut it down a foot so I could easily move it alone)
It was a hit, I surprised my man & we had a romantic evening, hooked up a little TV and watched a movie under the stars
