This week's Quick and Easy Romance Tip:
This week's tip could be the easiest yet. It can be done at home, the office or while you're driving in the car. When you're not with your wife or girlfriend and you hear a love song, call her up. Let her hear the song and then tell her that when you heard the song, it made you think of her. Then tell her you love her and can't wait to see her. And then hang up. If you don't listen to the radio then download a song onto your iPod. If you don't have an iPod than grab a CD. And if you don't listen to the radio, or have an Ipod or own a CD with a love song on it, no worries. Just call her up and sing to her a line or two. "I just called to say I love you and need you from the bottom of my heart." Quick and Easy.
This week's Video: How to make Handmade Tissue Paper Flowers
This is a very easy project to make and is perfect for Valentine's Day. I have to thank my friend Lisa who gave me the idea.
As always if you have any questions about the tissue paper flowers email me at kandleman@madisonavecandles.com.
T- 23 days until Valentines
It's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. If you're going out to dinner make those reservations now. Are you cooking her breakfast in bed or even making her a romantic dinner for two? If so, what are you cooking? Are you buying her something instead of flowers? Have you bought it yet? Do you need to order it? Is it going to take time to ship? Do you want it personalized? Are you going to make her tissue paper flowers? Do you have the materials? Are you going to put up any decorations at home or even her office? All I am saying is...Don't wait until the last minute!
Dining Ideas for Valentine's Day:
Breakfast In Bed - If you watched this week's video you know that next week I'm going to be showing you how to make eggs benedict but with a little twist. If you are going to make her breakfast in bed, buy a breakfast tray so when you do make her breakfast in bed she doesn't have to get out of bed to eat it. To spice it up a little you can put her favorite magazine or book on the tray with a nice lavender candle and of course some tissue paper flowers. Just have fun with it.
Dinner - Don't know what to cook? Maybe call her mom and find out what dish was her favorite as a kid and get the directions on how to make it. And then if you can, without her finding out of course, practice making it. Ask a buddy to borrow his kitchen. Maybe she had a favorite hangout in college that can Fed-Ex her favorite dish. Or, check online for places that deliver meals. If you are doing dinner at home, set up a table for two somewhere in your house and make up a name for the "restaurant" you are going to. For example, if your last name is Barton, the name of the restaurant could be "Bartonios. " If you have kids and a romantic dinner at home is not possible; maybe a late night romantic dessert for two.
Make sure you check back next week for ideas that will make that special someone feel extra special this Valentine's Day. From the extravagant to the budget conscious - I have ideas suited for almost any budget.
