Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be a holiday exclusively for couples. It’s a great excuse to throw girly soirée full of chocolates, cocktails, chick flicks and lots and lots of pink! Here is my top 10 chick flick must-have list. What movies make your list?

1. Sweet Home Alabama
2. Just Like Heaven
3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
4. The Wedding Planner
5. A Cinderella Story
6. Raising Helen
7. The Perfect Man
8. A Walk to Remember
9. Legally Blonde
10. Sundays at Tiffany’s

Conversation Heart Cookies

Everything is cuter in cookie form, in my opinion. Especially when it involves pink and hearts. Since I have a rather unhealthy obsession with conversation hearts, I decided to use the idea and recreate them as sugar cookies. I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, made icing in the colors of the candies, and wrote my own little notes.

 

DIY: Heart Candle

Valentine’s Day is approaching quickly, no matter if you are spending it with girlfriends, a significant other….etc. Spoil yourself with a DIY heart candle martini glass….the hearts glow when the candle is lit!

Step 1: Place foil in the cavities of a muffin tin.

Step 2: Melt wax in your desired heart color and pour into a foil cavity.
(I melted a half used Yankee Candle)

Step 3: While your heart wax is cooling melt your main color. Spoon a small amount into your martini glass and insert the wick.

 Step 4: While wax is still semi soft cut out your heart shapes.

Step 5: Press wax hearts to the side of your glass while they are still pliable. Once they become firm they will not stick to the glass and you will get your main color between the hearts and the glass.

Step 6: Pour in your main color and allow to harden.

 Step 7: Light and enjoy!

This week all things girly have been inspiring me, from the heart suncatcher in my living room to new décor for the bathroom. It’s the little things that are getting me through this snowstorm (which is going to leave me snowed in this weekend). My weekend will be filled with time in the kitchen making treats for Jack, Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day themed goodies. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! xx
