Valentines Day

Okay, so Valentine's day is coming up in 2 weeks. I have never been a big fan of Valentine's day, even when I have someone to share it with. This upcoming Valentine's day will be my third with my boyfriend Frank, and we never make it a big deal. We usually go out to dinner, at a somewhat romantic place, but not on February 14th. We also are trying not to spend a lot of money, so we are always looking for a way to save. I would definitely call myself a romantic, but I don't think that Valentine's day needs to be a big deal. I think that true love should be shown every day, and not just on a day made up by a card company.

So here are some inexpensive ideas that you can do with your guy or gal on or around Valentine's day, that aren't TOO "Hallmark-y"

1. Spend the day taking photos of each other, and make a photo album of all the pictures you took together.
2. Play video games together! (I suggest guitar hero).
3. Go camping for the night.
4. Have a cheesy movie marathon. (Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, or you could throw in The Godfather).
5. Go on a picnic! Simple, but classic.
6. Make a list of why you love each other. (kind of Hallmark-y, but you can make it goofy too).
7. Go ice skating.
8. Go to a wine tasting. (They usually only cost about five dollars a person).
9. Make dinner together.
10. Babysit. (I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's actually fun to babysit with your loved one.)
11. Make fondue together.
12. Make eachother homemade cards.
13. Go see a cheap play at a college or high school.
14. Get happy hour drinks at a bar that you've never been to.
15. CUDDLE!

SAG Awards Fashion

This year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the actors and actresses really gave it their all in the fashion department. All though I did not agree with a lot of the winners, (you can see the list of winners here), most of the fashion choices were definitely winners in my book.

Here are some of my favorite dresses from the event:

And here are some of my favorite men's outfits of the night:

It seems like the celebs went all out this year to dress to impress. My favorite dress was Jenna Fischers's blue Pamela Rolland gown, (3rd from the left). The color is radiant and the sparkles were just enough, and didn't distract from her natural beauty.
