Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And an especially happy one to our randomly selected, lucky winner who goes by the name of… Oona (who will likely celebrate tonight with dinner at “a lovely vegan restaurant”). Congrats Oona!
We love celebrating Valentine’s Day with you guys by giving away some free jewelry, and this year Sherry’s especially stoked because the prize is coming from none other than Kendra Scott – one of her favorite places to request that I buy her earrings for various occasions (like the past two Christmases). Kendra Scott has definitely earned me a few husband points, so this (are you ready for it?) $500 gift card means that someone else out there can score major points from the one they love – or one lucky winner can grab her own jewels for herself. And probably have money leftover to share the wealth with a few friends or relatives. Oh and if you fancy yourself a Kendra Scott in the making, you can even use their Color Bar to customize several of their pieces. So yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

JEWEL ME!
For years my boyfriend has been against Valentine’s Day. He says, “My ex girlfriend said it best, ‘Why should saying that you love someone on one day matter more than any other day?’. I totally agree with her.”
I used to go along with that, but I’ve finally decided that I’m a grown woman who doesn’t care if people think I’m silly for wanting to celebrate something, even if it’s a made up holiday designed to make you buy stuff. I love holidays, I love giving gifts, and I love my boyfriend.
So I’m enforcing it this year. I said, “I don’t care what your ex-girlfriend used to say. I’m not your ex-girlfriend; I’m your current girlfriend. So if you want it to stay that way, then you can at least buy me some flowers.”
The ball is in his court now :)
Robin says
JEWEL ME!! My hubby and I will be having a low-key night since he is on call. I will make us a nice dinner and bake some caramel-chocolaty brownies I’ve been dying to make.

Alison B says
JEWEL ME! Please!
I’ll be spending this Thursday packing boxes ready to move to my first home! So I’ve got first home love :-)
Marci says
Jewel Me!!
We were married yon Feb 13, but not because of the Valentine’s day proximity – really, it was all about getting the church and the hotel availability for the same day! In hindsight, we would have never done it on the 13th – you can never go out to dinner, plan a getaway, etc., without spending an arm and a leg on crazy, cheesy, forced romance. We usually don’t go out to dinner but we’re going to try this year since Valentine’s is mid-week and we’re hoping it’s more low-key — wish us luck! (14 years and wouldn’t change a thing…except the date of the wedding :)!)
Charlotte says
JEWEL ME! My husband and I are going to brunch at CanCan and then picking out a box of truffles together from For the Love of Chocolate. :-)

Molly says
JEWEL ME!
My husband and I are going to a special Valentine’s couples yoga class in my neighborhood — the first hour is partner yoga (which is even more awesome than one person yoga), and the second hour is thai massage. Then strawberries, champagne, chocolate, and a rose for each couple to end the class. We have been going three years in a row, and it is always amazing!
Stefanie says
JEWEL ME! My husband and I never really celebrated Valentine’s Day. Now it is a family affair with the kids making goofy decorations and gorging themselves on conversation hearts. It is very fun this way.

JEWEL ME! We’re taking advantage of Qdoba’s BOGO free with a kiss like we did last year! Woo hoo! Sooo romantic!

JEWEL ME!
We always celebrate by NOT going out for dinner. It’s the worst day to hit the restaurants!
Lisa says
JEWEL ME!! My hubbs and I will be inline skating this Valentine’s Day! Since he does not like the holiday and thinks it’s silly because you should show the one you love everyday how much they mean to you. I love it! Can’t get enough of it! Love hearts, cupid, pink and red!! And chocolates! So, I compromised on inline skating! He likes to help me out as I am unsteady on the silly things. Should be fun tho!!
staceys says
JEWEL ME!
I want to make a nice little pavlova treat for my main man (the hubs) and our pip squeak, 18 month old baby piper!
