VALENTINE'S DAY DATE IDEAS

Isn't Valentine's Day a funny holiday? Everyone has such different opinions on it - some love it and can't wait for more chocolate and flowers than they know what to do with, and others seriously despise the holiday. I think I fall somewhere in between. I'm not into having "the most romantic day ever", but I do think it's a good chance to stop and appreciate the people you love in your life, whether that's friends, family, or a significant other. What does freak me out (at least at this point in my life) is the idea of going to a fancy dinner where ONLY COUPLES are out. I don't know, it makes me feel like I'm in a weird cult or something. Thoughts in my head: "Why are there only parties of two?" "This couple isn't even talking, why are you at a restaurant?!" If you have similar feelings - here are 10 fun, non stuffy Valentine's Day date (or non-date) ideas.

---

1. Go cosmic bowling and eat tacos and drink margaritas after.

2. Stay in and have a game night (two person games, of course)

3. Spend the day volunteering (it's a Saturday after all) and grab some BBQ and beer after.

4. Pick 3 movies you both have never seen. Pop the popcorn, pour the wine, enjoy!

5. Be tourists for the day. Go to the places in your city you've wanted to go, but never do.

5. Two words - trampoline park.

6. If it's warm enough, rent bikes and bike around the city, stopping at favorite places for a lunch and a cupcake.

7. Visit a brewery or winery.

8. Again, if it's warm, pack a picnic and lay in a park.

9. Take a walk and take turns playing your favorite songs.

10. Make a dinner you've never made, turn on the tunes, and have a dance party in the kitchen.

CHINET HOLIDAY RADIO ON PANDORA

 

Rarely do I ever talk about my career here, but every now and then I work on something that I think you all might enjoy as well. For those who don't know, I work in advertising, and we just launched a Holiday Radio station on Pandora for one of my clients. I know November 4th might be a little early for Christmas cheer to kick in, but before we know it, I'm going to be posting gift guides and launch into full on holiday spirit. I'm not just saying this because I worked on the station, but it really is an awesome compilation of holiday music and perfect to listen to while decorating the tree, wrapping presents, frosting cookies, or hosting a holiday party. One less thing you have to worry about during the crazy month of December, right?!

Hope you all enjoy!
