Hello Loves, It's time for another Valentine's Day gift guide! I've curated a list of quirky, cute, and sweet gift ideas for every type of Valentine. Whether you're in the budding romance stage looking for a deeper connection or long-time lovers committed to strengthening your bond through exploration and adventure, you'll find options to meet your needs. Also, If I'm being honest, I'd buy half of this list for myself (if anyone needed permission 😉)! 1. HARLEM CANDLE COMPANY "SPEAKEASY" LUXURY CANDLE You can never have too many candles (wait, is candle lady the new cat lady 🤯). Seriously, if it's made from quality ingredients and the fragrance is pleasing, a candle will always be welcomed. 2. LEGO BOTANICAL COLLECTION Succulents Will all my LEGO lovers please stand up! I love this set because you can configure it in so many different ways. It's also a fun activity to do as a couple (unless of course, you like to LEGO alone 🙋🏾♀️). 3. PANDORA Pandora Moments Heart Clasp Snake Chain Bracelet The gift that keeps on giving. Add a new charm every year for a truly sentimental keepsake. 4. Funko POP! Yourself Vinyl Figures How cute are these? Personalized Funko POPs are as fun as they are unique. It is also a heart-warming experience to see the little details your love notices about you. This one is perfect for the Anime and gamer communities alike. 5. Bonne Maman "Ten Ways to Say I Love You "Gift Tin Bridgerton called, and tea parties are still in style! With the Rococo Era trending, this bougie assortment is simply perfection. Give the gift of sweet sophistication with Bonne Maman preserves. 6. Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe Just like candles, robes are a practical and luxurious gift. Pamper your partner with the Super-Plush Robe from Brooklinen. Get it monogrammed for a personalized touch. 7. Under Lucky Stars Personalized Star Map The stars are definitely aligned with this sentimental Valentine's Day gift. Choose your preferred design, specify the date you want to be represented, and title your project. Then, simply select the size you desire, and you're all set (have it framed for an additional fee). 8. flowjo "The Couple's Bucket List" Card Set I love this card set from flowjo because it's easy to integrate into everyday life. Set some couple's goals and create lasting memories with the one you've chosen to grow old with. 9. Cheryl's Cookies Valentine’s Day Mugs & Treats For Two Simple, sweet, and to the point. This cute little set is perfect for a young romance full of possibilities. 10. BestSelf Co.

This gift promotes connection and intimacy with your partner. I hope I helped you to find something for your special someone and that your VDay is filled with love!
Until Next Time, Mimi 🤗 Hello loves, Today's Valentine's Day post is perfect for my procrastinators and introverts. I've compiled a list of date night ideas you can do from the comfort of your own home. Check it out below: 1. Skill Share Why not share something you're passionate about with the one you love? Whether it be photography, playing an instrument, or culinary gifts, the level of intimacy between teacher and student is undeniable. 2. Win Me Over This one is a ton of fun. Especially if you love to argue a point. Prior to date night, you will select a series of topics (keep it playful). Consider subjects like, most dynamic R&B group of the 90s, best Leonardo DiCaprio movie, or the ultimate after school snack. Then, craft your argument for each topic (visual aids are encouraged). Not only do you get insight into the way your partner thinks, but, you will also, learn random, useless, trivia facts👍🏾. So, cater the topics to suit your personalities (get as spicy as you'd like) and I promise you will be thoroughly entertained. 3. Blindfolded Tasting Are you a foodie? Can you taste the subtle notes of despair, when you've reached the bottom of your French fries? Then, you'll love this one. Get a pair of blindfolds, or use a necktie or pantyhose (a la Christian Grey). Then, prepare an assortment of foods to feed your partner. Be sure to incorporate different flavors and textures. Also, think up interesting ways to serve each item, make sure the kids aren't home😉. 4. Picnic This one's pretty straight forward. It's just food, and, well, the floor. Incorporate mood lighting, music, or even a movie. Make it as romantic or as raunchy as you please. Seriously, you can't mess it up. There's a reason why it's a classic. 5. Renos & Romance This one is perfect for couples that live together. If you're good with your hands, or fancy a design challenge, try taking on a small renovation together. Create a feature wall in the family room, or reupholster that side chair in the den. Just make sure it's a project you'll work well together on (please, no power tools if you will be drinking)! 6. Paint and Portraits Nothing says love, like immortalization. Remember that one scene in Titanic? So, break out the canvas and paint or sketchpad and get a glimpse of yourself through your partner's eyes. For some added fun, try using body paint and let your partner be the canvas (FYI this can get a bit messy). 7. Recreate The Date A date so nice, you'd make it twice. Choose a memorable date as inspiration ( it doesn't have to be the first) and recreate a few key moments. You can get really creative, since it'll take place at home. Make the night extra special by incorporating mementos from the original date. I hope you've found a date idea to suit you and your significant other. Remember to be creative, thoughtful and have fun! Happy Valentine's Day.
Until next time, Mimi☺️ Hello loves, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. So. I've rounded up 10 gifts to show your best gal why you love her so much...
In summary, she is EVERYTHING and she deserves the best! So, be sure to celebrate your galentine this year.
Until Next time, Mimi☺️ Hello Loves,
Is it me or did January feel extra long this year? Anyhow, we're finally in February and I'm so excited to get into the spirit of Valentine's Day. Today I'm sharing 5 things I do every Valentine's Day to cater to myself. Hopefully you'll be inspired to do something special for yourself this year! 1. Pamper I cannot stress how rewarding it is to honor the body in this way. There's a certain magic that occurs when we treat our vessels well. I mean the self esteem boost alone is worthwhile. Though there are endless ways to tend to the body, I focus on my nails. As someone who works with her hands, I typically don't invest in "fancy nails". However, when V-Day rolls around I make sure my fingers and toes are perfectly polished. 2. Indulge I truly believe that chocolate makes the heart smile (that's not medical advice 🤭). I always indulge in a sweet treat for Valentine's Day because my tastebuds deserve some love too. From gourmet goodies to decadent desserts, there's always room for a tasty delight. 3. Luxuriate There's nothing like the feeling of luxurious fabrics against the skin. Whether it be a satin pillowcase, cashmere throw, or silk pajamas, I always treat myself to a gift made of fine threads. 4. Celebrate Love Who can resist a good love story? I'm no different. For Valentine's Day, I enjoy watching romantic movies. No matter how cheesy, I always delight in the joy a budding romance brings (even if it's not mine). Celebrating the love stories of others always helps me cherish my own. 5. Celebrate Myself It's so easy to get bogged down by negative self-talk in this fast pace society we live in. While we should always be vigilant in quieting that voice, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to write yourself a love letter. Before I go to sleep, I write the following message (please feel free to copy): Dear [Your name], Thank you for... I really like the way you... You're so good at... You've worked really hard on... I'm excited to see you... I'm proud of your... I absolutely love your... You have the best... Love Always, [Your name] Whichever way you choose, be sure to love and honor yourself this Valentine's Day. Until Next Time, Mimi☺️ Hello loves,
Engagement season is in full swing. So, I'm excited to share some tips to help you nail that holiday proposal 💍. 1. The Feeling Should Be Mutual Now, this should be a no brainer. Still, you'd be surprised how many people ignore this essential detail. Prior to popping the question, discuss your visions of marriage with your partner. If you're both on the same page, then, you can move forward with proposal plans. 2. Family Feedback This one only applies if your partner desires familial approval prior to the engagement. Don't base this on what you've seen in movies or even your own family dynamics. Your partner should be consulted before you contact their family. 3. Consider Your Partner Even if you're planning a surprise engagement, your partner's desires should be at the forefront of the planning process. From choosing the right ring, to deciding how intimate the big moment will be, your partner's wishes should be considered the whole way through. 4. The Ring A marriage is a mutual commitment. The ring however, is a gift for your partner. Once you begin conversations about marriage, you should simultaneously collect information about the kind of ring they'd like. In addition to the style, you should also be aware of your partner's ring size. Another important step is getting the ring insured. Unfortunate situations happen all the time. So, an item that valuable should be protected. 5. Don't Forget the Details Now, this may seem superficial to some. However, I think it demonstrates thoughtfulness, in this social media driven world. Be sure your partner is well put together, down to the cuticles (especially if the cameras are out). Trust me, this gesture will be greatly appreciated and make your love feel extra special. 6. Tie in the Holiday The holidays are the perfect time to pop the question. That's why engagement season lasts from Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day. So, why not infuse the magic of the season into the proposal? Weave the special moment into an existing holiday tradition, or use it to create a new one. Incorporating those festive elements into the proposal will definitely make the experience more memorable. 7. Secure the Ring Guess how many engagement rings are at the bottom of the ocean. Too many! When choosing the perfect destination for your engagement, be sure to consider ALL the possibilities. Take the necessary precautions to safeguard that ring! If the conditions are really high risk, consider a stand-in ring. While you don't need to spend tons of money on a custom replica, the stand-in should be very similar to the real thing. 8. Document the Moment Whether it be filmed or just a detailed journal entry, be sure to keep a record of this most precious moment. Trust me, one day further down the road, you'll be asked to recount the events of that day and you'll be surprised how many details you have forgotten. Seriously, whenever I ask my clients how they met, I always get a kick out of how much their stories differ. So, take the necessary steps to preserve the memory and enjoy it for years to come. I hope you feel more confident in planning your proposal. Congratulations in advance! Until Next Time, Mimi ☺️ Photo by Tara Winstead from Pexels Hello Loves!

Hello Loves! Day 2 of our V-Day blog is all about celebrating with friends. So let's jump right into this gathering of the girls. I tend to use a bold color palette when designing for my gals. The vibrant decor matches their fun personalities. So don't be shy when it comes to dressing the space for your compadres. What's a party without a gift bag? Make your squad feel extra special with a take-away they'll treasure long after the party. Whether a motivational memento or a small indulgence, always give your guests something to remember the night. ![]() You know I saved the best for last. No matter how elegant the setting, I always prepare comfort food for my girls! There's something about undoing the top button on your jeans and licking barbecue sauce off your fingers that says I feel at home. So keep it casual and relaxed with some amazing homestyle style dishes. I hope you're enjoying the ideas so far. If you'll be all boo'd up this V-Day, be sure to check in tomorrow for an extra special concept just for two. As always, thanks for tuning in. Until next time. Mimi Hello Loves!
