V Day 101 : Roses are Red & Fashion is for You!

Treats for the Night 101: Valentines Day Fun!


Valentines Day is tomorrow so I have decided to create an intimate night at home. I hate going to restaurants on Valentines Day because there is always a wait whether for seating or food. So I’d rather spend that time in the comfort of my own home where I can set the scene and the mood. My idea was for my significant other and I to make dinner at home where we can eat as long as we like, not have people around us that we don’t know and most important getting extra personal time. I split the meal into 3 courses:

Appetizer
Grilled Chicken Kabobs over a spinach salad 
with: green/red/yellow peppers & Onions


Beef Ribs!
First Course:
Marinated Beef Ribs
Garlic baked potato casserole
Vegetable Melody

A girls favorite!
Main Course: Yes, I said main course also known as Valentines Day dessert:
Chocolate covered fruit
Red velvet Cake
Caramel
Whipped Cream

So here are a few things I will be making for my Valentines Day dinner, but there are so many more ideas. A man will never run away from a nice juicy steak or some well seasoned and/or marinated chicken. Just do what you feel. Valentines Day is a  female day, but another day to show your significant other, friends and love ones how much you love and care about them!

Game Day Looks 101: 4 ways to look chic on Super Bowl Sunday

1. Sport your hair nice: You don’t want to do too much with the hair, face it, it’s a football game. But, you still want to look chic. A nice wavy curl hairstyle, either all to one side or a little bit of curl on both is another way to go. Another option is a nice chic side braid with a bang or a lot of people like to pull the hair back into a slick pony pail- Whatever works best for you. Me personally, I enjoy a head full of curls with lots of body.

2. Sport your fan gear: Some of us like to wear their favorite team jerseys. Get a team jersey with a fitted jacket. You are wearing your “fan gear” while still looking super cute. But for the rest of us, you can still wear team colors. Color blocking is a major trend so why not take that idea with sports. For example, I am rooting for the New England Patriots, so there team colors are blue, silver, red and white. A pair of red jeans with a blue and/or white top or a nice pare of blue jeans with a red top or red shoes.-Team spirit gone chic.

3.Sport a bold mouth: Bold color lips are a favorite of mine and playing around with makeup can definitely get you into the game. A bold red lipstick with your outfit will make you stand out. For those who aren’t into the jersey look, try a blue or white shirt with red lipstick. Blue jeans, a white shirt or button up with red lipstick would be give fans a run for their money

4. Get rowdy: Lastly, get violent during the game; well not literally we don’t want a situation. But, don’t be afraid to scream when your team scores or take a shot when your team kicks a field goal. The Super Bowl is a major event, so make sure your outfit screams as loud as you do!!!!!!
