Well, Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Do you have
plans for Valentine's? My husband and I have never been fans of standing in
long line-ups for dinner or buying overpriced flowers. Instead, Tim and a few
of his closest friends have a tradition: the boys plan the night for us ladies
and we LOVE it! It usually consists of ALOT of chips and an entre of
undercooked pasta but hey...we don’t care! If we don’t have to cook that night,
we’re in there like swimwear!
Now,
I have a feeling that some of you men are starting to have sweat drip down your
temples as Valentine’s approaches and you’re unsure of what to do for your
sweetheart. Do not fear…. I’ve gathered some of my very best friends to help
YOU with this common Valentines dilemma. If you're anything like my Dad
and brother who leave it 'til the day of, this will help you avoid making
bad decisions when rushed. Pretty sure I'll be hearing from them on
Thursday. :) Without further adieu, I present to you….
THE TOP THINGS NOT TO BUY YOUR SWEETIE ON VALENTINE'S
#5. Wrinkle Cream
This, my friends, is what happens when you leave things 'til the last
minute and go to the nearest store. The drug store. You're thinking that she
loves soft skin and she spends so much time on her skin care regiment that
she'll love this. This may be the case! However, buying her wrinkle cream
(or any skin care cream, for that matter) just says to her that she's getting
old, her skin is sagging, and she'd better firm it up before it's too late.
Take my word for it, stay away from the drug store.
#4 Diet Books and Gym Memberships
Need I really explain this? Put the book down and go to the
home design section in chapters. This is not your section.
#3 Nair Hair removal Cream
Again, I said to stay away from the drug store! This is like
you walked into the store and just found the first thing you saw in her
favourite colour, PINK. This is a serious No, No; especially
if her nickname is Charlie.
#2 Cooking Classes
This one is risky business. If there's a gift that could go
either way... I recommend you avoid it. If you just said, "Baby I
love your cooking, but....." the other night, don't buy it. We all
know that if there's a "BUT" at the end of a sentence, it cancels out
everything you just said before it. A wonderful gift idea? Absolutely!
Heartfelt? Yes! But if you just complained about her meatloaf, then I
would suggest not going there. HOWEVER... if the cooking lesson is with HIM
(see above) then throw out this warning because it DOES NOT APPLY. :)
#1 SPANX SIMPLICITY SHAPER
Now I know you're saying to yourself, "that sounds
simple and looks kinda neat". It's true... it is simple. Simply
don't buy it. When you see it, don't walk away from it, RUN.
Even though she may have mentioned that she wants a pair, I recommend you
don't buy it for her. This will not end well. I promise you.
So I hope
you found this helpful. I'm not just a realtor but also a relationship coach!
