Valentine Day Mailboxes
Posted on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Next week my family from the West Coast is coming for a visit and I am thrilled.
I always like to have little welcome gifts when people visit me - something practical for them to use while they are here and something they can use at home.
The three kids (all under age 12) are getting personalized bags that I ordered from Lillian Vernon so they can easily schlep their stuff between family homes here in New Jersey.
And for the adults I thought I would make them each a Signature Essential Oils Spritz with their names on the bottle. It will be at tier bedside in my guest rooms, and they can take it with them on their visit to the Jersey Shore - and then home if it lasts that long!
Kristen is a Geranium Gal.......
David is a Man of Valor...
Here is how I'm making these Signature Spritz's....(I'm calling them "Body Spray's" so they know they can spray all over their body - and these are great in the summer time!):
* A small mister bottle
* 4 drops of essential oils (Geranium for Kristen)
* 4 oz of distilled water
--Just fill the mister bottle starting with 4 drops of essential oils.
--Add water
--Shake well before use
For David - I think he'll want to use this as an aftershave so I'll use some refreshing witch hazel in his spritz:
* 1 tablespoon witch hazel
* 4 drops of essential oils (Valor for David)
* 6 oz. of distilled water
The conspiracy of Valentine's day,the crappiest holiday of the year?
One day a year is set aside for couples only and apparently leaves out everyone single.This crap is engrained in our heads from the time we're little making the stupid mailboxes in school and handing out valentine's days cards to once your adult and feel bad if you're single today.Maybe I'm just saying this because I don't believe in love(it's just a chemical response in your brain!!!)but I think this holiday is just a way jewellers,chocolatiers,greeting card companies,and florists can make the big bucks!Is valentine's day the holiday for idiots in "love"???
I think so..............
Bluedevil I know wrestling AND love are both fake unlike you! And not bitter just smart enough to know love aint a real emotion!
I agree with you in so far as the big businesses using this as an opportunity to make more money. The way I look at it V Day is really not for couples, but really for singles. It is a good day for someone like me who gets nervous near girls to use the day as an excuse to tell them I like them.
But I would not go around splashing my money on a stupid day to prove to someone I love her. I could do that any day of the year, and there are so many nice ways of doing it.
Oh by the way do you want to be my Valentine.
