Valentines on a Budget- Its Possible!

Valentines is tomorrow and I received an inbox message that asked how can I do something ROMANTIC for Valentines on a limited budget. I love questions like this because its let me know that their are people out there who really want to keep the ROMANCE alive in their relationship and that they trust me to give them sound adv ice.

 Valentines does not have to be an expensive day. Here are 10 budget ideas for Valentines day!

 1. Cook for your special someone at home and have a candlelight dinner.
2. Give him/her a massage with dim lights, romantic movie and hot oils.
3. Go for a ride and check out some of the beautiful sights of your city. Pack a picnic basket of homemade treats and stop at your favorite spot to enjoy them.
4. Take a day off or an evening off together to just enjoy each others company.
5. Netflix and Chill. Pull out some of your favorite love stories, pop some popcorn, put on your sexiest lingerie or boxers and roll play your favorite love scenes or make one yourself.
6. Invite other couples over for game night. Have everyone bring a dish and enjoy the night with other couples and have fun! Adult games are always nice for the right crowd.
7. Grab a bouquet of flowers from your local grocer. Flower shops are usually more expensive so stop at the grocery store and pick up her favorite meal from a great carry out spot and surprise him/her at work for lunch for two!
8. Get the kids in the action and bake your special someone some sweet treats that can be used behind closed doors later like pudding, jello or strawberry shortcake! Moms always love a break from cooking or baking. 
9. Make him/her a creative video or write a poem telling them why you love them and post on your social media to let the world know how much you love them. If you are like me, I love public displays of affection. Be careful tho, not all do. If they aren't the PDA person, play the video for them in front of your fireplace or over the dinner you cook them. 

10. Plan a future trip together to take and clear your schedule to make it happen over wine and chocolates.  Nothing like something romantic and fun to look forward to while putting a smile on your special someone's face. 

 These are just some of my ideas! I would love to hear your suggestions on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/romancequeen101!

September is Take Your Man on a Date Month!

Image
Hello ladies! September has been designated for TAKING your man on a date month! I love this month because it gives the ladies the chance to show their romantic side, what they like to do on dates from a woman's perspective and give the guys pointers just in case they are clueless the other months.  So whether you have one special guy or you are dating a couple guys, here are some pointers: 1. Ask him formally on a date. 2. Plan the date yourself based on things he likes to do, places he likes to go and ideas you've heard him talk about. 3. Do not make it a group event. Tho I am sure your man likes to watch the game with the boys, inviting yourself to watch it with them as your "date" is not acceptable. 4. Do things on the date that you would like him to do for you. I always think its fun to reverse the roles during the time, by opening the door for him and ordering his favorite meal off the menu. Guys get a kick out of being spoiled especially when

Cater to Him- Part 1 of 2

Image
I would not write about anything that I don't do myself, so one thing that I have found important to me is catering to my man. Our men are dealing with the stresses of life, providing for his home successfully, and is a respected contributor to his community. When he comes home, he should come home to a woman who appreciates his achievements, loves him for who he is, supports him in all his efforts, and is there to take care of his needs. Now don't get me wrong, I am sure that some of you immediately thought "taking care of his needs" meant sexually, and that is involved BUT taking care of his needs is about CATERING TO HIM and showing him that he is the man of the house and that you are have his back. Its also about showing your adoration for him in many ways. 3 ways you can cater to your man are: * Keeping his belly full.  The saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" will never get old. Making sure he is fed and fixing things yo

Single and Romantic Dating Group

I have many singles who are also hopeless romantics like me. So I started a Single & Romantic group on Facebook for those who are single and actively dating. This group will give singles dating and singles tips plus it will be a great way to meet singles online who also want ROMANCE in their lives. Just because you are single doesn't mean that you can't be romantic when you are dating. I know that I appreciate a romantic man and a romantic man will get my attention over a man who is not romantic. Its the little things that count when you are dating such as texts to say I am thinking about you, the initiative to ask me out on a date, wanting to spend time with me, flowers when I open the door for you to pick me up, holding my hand as we walk into a restaurant, feeding me dessert and many other romantic gestures.  Some people are not comfortable being romantic while they are dating or do not know the right time to be romantic when dating. But their are levels to being ro
