Happy Hearts Day


I’m a lover but I do hate the way people celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s one of those overly commercial holidays, probably only second to Christmas. The amusing part is no one could even tell you why today is so-called. For those that don’t know, it’s because of Saint Valentine; yes, an actual person and not because Hallmark said so. Instead you find most people caught up with what to buy their special someone or where to get dinner reservations. And don’t you just love the stores and restaurants that mark-up prices on roses, gifts and meals just for today? In my opinion, people who fall for these gimmicks are suckers! I personally think that you should celebrate your love for someone all through the year and not make one day the be-all and end-all for any relationship. Not only can you get majorly disappointed because you are expecting the world, but your guy will be overwraught with anxiety on what to get you. Wouldn't you rather get many, smaller suprises during the year, especially when you're not expecting it?

With that being said, here are a few cute things I’ve come across this V-day that I love and you should do ALL YEAR LONG - heart-shaped breakfast! I absolutely loved the heart shaped boiled egg (on the left) and it's so easy to do.


And this is a great page with many ideas on how to use a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
