Happy post Valentine’s Day! I am still swooning over my weekend. Don’t be mistaken, I spend the last two days with the little ones baking cookies, ordering pizza, organizing an exhausting play date, making doily hearts, reading bed time stories, and running Nintendo DSi interference. I’m pooped. That said I am taking this day for me … to laze around, eat bob-bon truffles, enjoy some lovely he-love-me-not poems and hmmm we’ll have to find something interesting to do with that gorgeous gros grain ribbon. How did you L-O-V-E-L-I-E-S spend the weekend? Please share!

Finally, it’s Valentine’s Day Weekend AND it’s a long weekend. What more can a girl ask for? Well if you are a Single Lady, you may be thinking that it would be nice to have a date on Valentine’s Day. Forget about it. Celebrate this V-Day with your best girlfriends. I Love Valentine’s Day; not because of the flowers, candy, cards and dinner. Truthfully, I think that stuff is all routine, predictable and passé. Unfortunately, most guys can not think outside of the “Valentine’s Day box” so that’s how they proceed.
Growing up my Mommy made such a fuss over V-Day. She brought us each a small gift (and wrapped it), dressed us up in red outfits (even put my big Bro in a red sweater) and made sure to cook our favorite meals. We shared V-Day love as a family and it was so much fun. When I first started dating, I too worried about having a Dude-Date on V-Day. Sometimes it happened and he would bring flowers, candy, cards and take me out to dinner. It wasn’t until law school that I decided that I would SHARE REAL LOVE on V-Day like my Mommy used to. I stopped worrying about going on a typical, boring and routine date; but instead celebrated the love that I had with and for my girlfriends.
So on this Single Ladies Valentine’s Day weekend allow me to share five ideas for a great Valentine’s Day weekend with your girlfriends:
Cook Together – I recently discovered the joy of recipe swapping. Get together with your best girlfriends and cook up a fabulous meal together. Bring some wine and Grey Goose and it will be a guaranteed fun night out.
Pampering and Sex Toys – Hire a good looking masseuse to come and pamper you and your girlfriends. Follow that up with a sex toy party. Check out www.passionparties.com. Fun times!
Go down Memory Lane – Bring the old buried pictures, yearbooks and scrapbooks and take a memory trip back to high school. I know that some of you probably held on to the high school love letters – if you bring those out Oh Mmm Gee!
Hit the Mall – Set a budget and pick each other’s outfits out. We all have a friend that we want to make over and this would be a perfect opportunity to get her to sex up her style.
Go to Karaoke – This one’s my favorite. Get together on Saturday. Pick out coordinating outfits and choreograph a routine. Rehearse again on Sunday. And on Monday go to a karaoke bar and perform as if you want to win a grand prize! Guaranteed RIOT! I will never forget my girlfriend trips to Curacao and cruise to the Bahamas J
Single Ladies, forget the dudes this weekend! Get out and SHARE REAL LOVE with your girls and sisters. Make it a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last night I stayed up ’til the wee hours baking chocolate heart shortbreads for my daughter’s bake sale. Between the mixing, dipping, cutting and bagging … ( hmmm it really sounds like I was engaging in a drug distribution assembly line but anyway I digress), my mind wandered off to Boudoir Photography – don’t ask. What is Boudoir Photography you ask? See here (under boudoir), here, and oh now here also. It seems to me like a trendy ritual amongst brides to “gift” their Intended with photos of themselves in their unmentionables. It may be because its now 3 AM and that I am exhausted and satiated that I am going to set forth this bit of truth. Two V-Days ago, I too set off to present my husband with photos of me in my scanties. What started as a fleeting thought became a whole 3 month project of finding the proper photographer, securing a make-up artist and hair stylist, taking up residence in the dressing rooms of Agent Provocateur and Kiki de Montparnasse. I started to think that I had waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on my hands because I mean it really took on a life of itself. What started out as me taking a few shots became me making a 20 page photo journal and diary about myself. Fast forward to the day of shoot 11:00 AM – Here I was with my Fab team of “it” girls – Amber, Kat, & Lee who spent the next eight hours dressing me, powdering my nose, and fluffing my hair, to get the “it” shots. In the midst of all this, the purpose of the shoot totally changed focus – I became the Intended. This totally became about me. I felt uninhibited, empowered, confident, sexy, and it was just CRAZY FUN! I embarked on this whole self love journey that continues still now. This was one of those experiences I will never forget and my sexy is forever preserved in print! Now I look at the photos and all I can do is smile and think to myself “I ROCK!”. Oh yeah, and it was V-E-R-Y much appreciated by my Hubbie and it has become the gift that keeps on giving- nuff said!
