February 10th, 2021 at 8:09 pmChocolate or roses? Chocolate-I probably won’t be able to keep roses alive because I have a black thumb!

Chocolate or roses? I love roses.
Valentine’s or Galentine’s? Although I treat my husband and sons and their special ladies to Valentine goodies, I’ve been celebrating Galentines for decades—long before it became a “thing”. I have a friend that I’ve known for 65 years. When we first became friends, neither one of us had a boyfriend so we threw a ourselves a Valentine tea party. We’ve done that every year for 65 years. I call her my sister of the heart.
Dinner — homemade or takeout? Homemade. I like to cook.
Red or pink roses? Red. One of my favorite’s for color and fragrance is the Mr. Lincoln rose.
Red or pink nail polish? Pale pink with a hint of pearl.
Date night — casual or dressed up? We keep it casual at home.
Red lipstick or pink lipstick? A mid-toned pink with a bit of gloss. Rouge Coco Flash in Freeze comes to mind.
Store bought or handmade gift? It really doesn’t make any difference to me.

February 12th, 2021 at 7:37 amChocolate or roses? Chocolates!
Valentine’s or Galantine’s? Valentine’s!

Red or pink nail polish? This is a tough one! I’d opt for pink, because I wore a lot of red around Christmas.

Red lipstick or pink lipstick? Pink!
Store bought or handmade gift? Definitely store bought. I’m not crafty whatsoever, so the only “gift” I could make would be food related. I wouldn’t stress my fiancé out, as he’ll frantically try and figure out what he could make that I’d actually want 😆

February 14th, 2021 at 4:53 pmChocolate or roses? – Chocolate. I treated myself to flowers and a box of Dark Lindt truffles which I don’t have to share!
Valentine’s or Galentine’s? – Galentine’s as I’m recovering from a break-up 🙁
Dinner — homemade or takeout? – Takeout. I ordered Fish and Chips (I’m from the UK!)
Red or pink roses? – Pink
Red or pink nail polish? – Pink, esp Hot/Bright pink
Date night — casual or dressed up? – I actually miss making an effort going out so I would say dressed-up. Although my idea of dressed-up is an ubercool grungy dress, killer boots, jewellery and smoky eyes, instead of something formal haha
Red lipstick or pink lipstick? – This is a tough one, but I’m gonna go for red
Store bought or handmade gift? – Honestly? I don’t mind either as it’s really the thought that counts, provided that some thought was actually put into it and it’s not something super generic and dull
