Show your love this Valentine’s Day by getting your loved one this BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA!
Does it not irritate you to death how Love, in addition to everything beautiful and fragile gets over commercialised nowadays?
You are being tube-fed to purchase things that does not really show love, but the size of your wallet, and the people who profit most from this are the guys that manage to tweak that first line just right to make the masses think – no, feel – that this will be their original, one of a kind, gift to BLA BLA BLA BLA.
Beauty often is in the little thing, so here’s an idea:
Instead of going out to a restaurant tonight, go get a nice blanket, a bottle of wine, two oversized glasses, a box of strawberries, some whipped cream, and sugar.
Now open the blanket up on the lawn, put something stable down for the glasses to stand on, and enjoy a simple evening together while sharing laughter, under the stars.
Optionally add a couple of really nice candles, and remember to dip the strawberries in the cream and then sprinkle some sugar over that before feeding it to other one on the blanket.
This can get messy, but that’s part of the fun! Later, some candles around the bath filled with foam will definitely get rid of the sticky strawberries…
Remember, creativity can make all the difference!
Here’s to your journey,
Enjoy.
PS: If you are in Europe now, don’t try this. You’ll freeze to death!
Now thats what I call a special evening, Valentines or not! Could add a little stilton and fresh pears for starters with that wine.
Valentines gifts are adults bowing to “pear” pressure. ! tee hee….. who would have thought they would teach their children not to do it and then do it themselves. Resist, Dont celebrate once a year, do it every month !
Very nice Lou. Thanks for the idea! I really like your “pear” pressure. (-; I think we all sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that a gift is a quick way of showing affection so that we can continue doing something else. A gift should be a continuous celebration!
