Hey Readers

Hey Readers!!!!

HEY READERSSSSSSSSS!!!

Happy New Year to you all!!

We made it to 2017, let us just stop right there and say THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Now that we’ve gotten past the Thanksgiving feast, Christmas gifts, holiday music and New Year’s sparkle, let’s get to the love and intimacy of…….VALENTINES DAY!!!! Bring on the roses, heart shaped balloons, and chocolate covered EVERYTHING!!!

Those who know me well enough, know that I am a complete sap and a hopeless romantic, so of course Valentine’s Day is near the top of my list for favorite holidays. I’ve often been approached with the age old debate of whether Valentine’s Day is for the ladies and Sweetest Day is for the guys. I say, go for what you know. I’ve given as well as received gifts on both days. I just love the love!

There are those couples who say that Valentine’s Day is every day, so there’s no need for one specific day. However, often times us as lovers and companions tend to take our counterpart for granted. Not in the literal sense but just in the aspect of always expecting them to be there and growing comfortable in that expectation. So why not take the one day to just go over board and shower them with endless love, gifts, and adoration?

Ladies, if your man is a basketball fan (almost positive he is), our 2016 Championship Cavaliers have a home game on 2/15/17 at 7pm.

Gentleman, I’m sure there will be a comedy show or concert in the city for the infamous love day celebrations. If you guys are more of a reclusive couple, I would suggest a romantic trip to the Museum of Contemporary Arts with a quiet dinner for two to follow. There are also many day spas or nail shops that welcome couples massages and mani-pedis.

For the couples who like to drive a little or would opt to have a romantic getaway, A Georgian Manner (Logan, OH) and Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast (Dellroy, OH) are a couple of romantic bed and breakfast locations.

Whatever the love day plans turn out to be, I hope all of you are overcome with affection and appreciation for all that you are and do! So ladies get those outfits ready (lingerie included), gents get that haircut and make those dinner reservations, create that R. Kelly playlist, grab the chocolates & rose petals, and get ready to drift off into a lovers paradise!!
