Preparing for Valentine’s Day

      Hey guys! I know in last week’s blog I wrote about sports that I’ve took part in, and I said that I would make it into a series, but I’ve decided to deter from doing so for another week.

     Today is February 8th and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Valentine’s Day is next Tuesday on the 14th and I’m going to tell you all how I prepare for it. So first and foremost, I think the obvious question is do I have a Valentine? The answer is……YES! I do have a Valentine and I’m not one to be consumed by “holidays” and what not, but I want to utilize every day that I can show her how much I care. She is incredibly special and dear to my heart, but I’ve been pondering on what to get her, or if I should get her anything at all. Maybe we could just spend the day together. I could make something myself, I could buy something, or I could do both, it just depends on how I feel in the moment. I feel as if handmade gifts are more heartwarming in my opinion.  

     So now for the preparation part. Yesterday we went shopping with some friends and we all found dresses for our school’s Valentine’s Day dance that is coming up next Friday. I found an elegant white dress that is very fluffy. I don’t know any other way to describe it. The dress doesn’t have any fur on it but it’s super flowy if you know what I mean. I may or may not insert a picture. I also found a black silk dress with a mesh film over top. It’s very pretty and way more fitted than the white dress. The black dress isn’t as elegant as the black one. I needed completely different options, so I bought an edgy look, and a sweet one. I’ve also been watching so many Valentine’s Day makeup tutorials. I like to look for inspiration then make things into my own. I have an idea of what I want to do, but I’m not totally sure. 

     I’ve also been looking for gift ideas and have had no real luck, except for one thing on Pinterest. It’s completely handmade, but it will take me some time to make. That shouldn’t be a problem though considering I have an entire week, but as busy as I am with school, I’m not exactly sure if that will be enough time. 

      Okay guys, I know this blog was probably pretty boring considering you don’t know who I’m talking about, and I didn’t say exactly what I’m going to get her but I ‘ll be back next Wednesday with an update and I will try to include as many pictures as possible in this post so that you all can visualize what I’m saying. See you next week!
