At Home Dates!

Happy Mon-Tues YAY!!!
(depending if you were off yesterday)

I know, I know EVERY day feels just like the last, but you need to make it 

feel different, which kinda goes hand in hand with this post!

So we are all in quarantine and peeps are starting to lose their mind and spending WAY too much

time on Tik Tok!!! (myself included, LOL)

You can't go out for the safety of yourself as well as others. You can't just spend the time

enclosed with your "loved" ones and plot their demise from the WAY too much TOGETHERNESS you all are having. ;)

So here's the back story on me. I LOVE, like absolutely ADORE at home date nights.

They are my JAM!

When I say at home date nights, I don't mean a sweatshirt, no bra, no make up, roll up to the table, clear that crap away and go on your merry way.

Nope I mean put some freaking work and EFFORT in to it ladies (or men)

There is something about getting ALL dressed up like you are seriously going out somewhere. I'm talking make up, lashes, cute outfit, HEELS! (yes, yes I realize that's a lot of WORK to just

"sit at home")

It's so worth it. Dinner at home is next level when you do it up like a REAL legit 

going out date.  You take your time eating and have even better conversation.

I've done everything from cooking dinner together dates, bar & casino type dates, picnics

to my ALL TIME FAV date.....EVER, a restaurant date complete with a waiting area. (which coincidentally just took place during this quarantine)
Next to making yourself look DATE night ready you have to set the scene & ambiance at home
to match the date as well.
Play music, have candles, twinkle lights or whatever to help set the mood.
Set the table fancy. Use whatever props you have to go with the Date you are doing.
Here is my Restaurant style date that we did a couple weeks ago.

This was the "Outdoor Patio" wait area for the restaurant. 

The informational restaurant sign

 Cheese board to go with the wine on the "patio"

 Inside the restaurant. The beverage area which included Wine & Water.

 One of the guests waiting for their "reservation"
This guy is my WORLD and obviously a super good sport! ;)

All the extra little details

 This was before "the restaurant" opened. This VIEW is everything!!!

 Waiting for our table. (At this point I said "ohhh, I'm crossing my fingers we get the table with a VIEW!" You have to PLAY the part peeps! ;)

 Evening on the Patio

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

 We PLAYED the part.

Table Set

SUCCESS!!!

Okay, so first off, YASSSSSSS this was A LOT of time & effort. You don't have to
start off this BIG. Just make little efforts, like getting dressed up and
having a nice dinner, but you HAVE to make the effort.
Relationships take WORK and in a time where we are all stuck
home and can't go anywhere, this is the TIME to experiment with different ideas.
The beauty of this is I have inspired HIM to come up with some pretty legit DATE nights on his own.
I'll post a few of his in the coming days! In the mean time, start being creative. Share with
me what cute dates you do. Don't EVER care what ANYONE else thinks about
your at home dates, or what you post on FACEBOOK that you are EXCITED about.
Enjoy your life for what it is!!!
Have a fabulous day!
Stay home and stay safe!
