Valentines for Gals

Most controversial commercial holiday, go.

Yep, Valentine's Day.

You've got the couples all in love. 

79 female heads that jerk up every time a flower delivery comes through the door.

You've got the singles that 'hate' the holiday. 

And if you're single and you don't, you're supposed to. 

I personally haven't celebrated with a valentine of my own in years.

So instead I take the holiday to show the special people in my life that I love them.

And what's the staple of any good valentine's day celebration? A great valentine!

Last year I ordered from Ashley Brooke Designs and I absolutely loved them!

This year I stumbled upon a precious set of valentine postcards from..dun dun dun..the Southern Weddings Shop. 

Yes, the single girl ordered her valentines from Southern Weddings. 

And in the process I discovered the hidden gem that is the Southern Weddings Shop. There are 10 postcards in a pack and each pack is only $10. I cannot wait for these cuties to be delivered to my loves' mailboxes this week. Cupid has nothing on Caroline!

Weekend Recap: 2/15-2/16

There were no roses, no proposals, or fancy dinners but there was a whole lot of Chuck Bass this Valentine's Day. Chipotle was my boyfriend, I even splurged and got guacamole. With my feet propped up, mini heater on, and the sweetest ladybug valentine from momma I was one content single heart.

Sunday I Swiffer wet jetted my brains out and then headed to the office for a peaceful afternoon in the office. 

This weekend may have not been the most romantic 48 hours ever but you know what, I've got at least 60 more years for that stuff. For now, I'm happy just me [with some Chipotle.]

Here's the mail, it never fails. . .

   As y'all should know by now I love Target. More importantly I love the stationary isle of Target. I could easily blow $20+ on Papyrus cards and can always think of a reason to send someone a card I send my own mom cards and I live across the house from her But up until last fall I had never had that monogrammed stationary I had so coveted, until I found the amazing company that is May Designs. It actually started as simply May Books and then Halloween of this year they launched May Notes. I could honestly order more of these things than I would ever know what to do with. Of course, don't only take my word for it, you should definitely follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I LOVE their Instagram feed because it always gives me great ideas seeing what other May Designs pattern/color combos people have put together. I currently have a May Book for each account I'm on and then a couple sets of May Notes and never fail to get a compliments on them And the best part is they are incredibly affordable and really great quality/hand made products that ship to you just a couple days after you order them. There are six or seven different book inserts you can order such as lined, dots, graph paper, 40 week planner, and the most relevant right now wedding planner made GREAT Christmas presents for my brides to be 
   So, gentlemen these would make a lovely Valentine's Day present. And all my single ladies, who said you can't give yourself a Valentine's Day present? Guys are horrible at presents anyway.. My current obsession is the new Sweethearts collection but there is definitely something there for everyone. Although it would be AMAZE if they came out with an NFL collection, can never get enough #blackandyellow. So there it is, the answer to the question that's been bouncing around on Instagram, "where did you get your stationary???"
