Want to Be Interviewed?

Are you interested in being interviewed on my blog? I am currently accepting interviews with bloggers, crafters, artists, small business owners and other people I find interesting. When you are interviewed, you also get a photo of yourself and photos from your website in the blog post. You can link back to your website or blog so it will help promote your business.

I thought having interviews would be a good way to feature other people on my blog as well as offering small business advice.

If you are interested, leave me a comment or use the contact page. You can also see the guest posts page for more info on being featured on my blog.

Valentine’s Day: Date Ideas

Happy Valentine’s Day! Looking for Valentine’s Day date ideas? Try one of the fun and romantic dates below.

Dinner Date

If you want a dinner date, but don’t want to go out, try cooking at home. You can cook the meal yourself or cook together. Or why not make dinner at home, but go out for dessert? If you want to go out. wine tastings are something different than the traditional dinner date.

Ice Skating

Ice skating is a great date idea for the winter months. Find a local skating rink or an outdoor skating rink if you can.

Outdoors Date

Why not look at the stars together? Or watch the sunrise or sunset. Whether it is going camping, hiking or just finding a nice place for a picnic, going out in nature is a great way to spend time together.

Watch a Movie

Go out to see a movie or watch your favorite romantic movie at home. Make homemade popcorn with candy hearts.

Game Night

Why not have some healthy competition? Play your favorite game such as truth or dare. You can write down different truths or dares on pieces of paper or just have each other switch off between asking truth or dare.

Valentine’s Day: Nail Art

Nail art is a fun way to dress up for Valentine’s Day. These are some fun nail art looks to try out

Why not paint heart balloons on your nails? Use pink and red hearts. Jin Soon Choi created the nail art look on the heart shaped right.

The left nail art image uses a dark red color with a kiss mark on the ring finger. The right nail art look forms a lip mark when you put the ring finger and thumb together

Why not paint hearts in a different color other than red? The nail art on the left uses green hearts on the tips. The upper right uses pink hearts on a blue background. The bottom right nail look uses bright neon colors and leopard print hearts.
