HAPPY VALENTINES

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I hope that everyone, whether single or in a relationship, or in an "it's complicated" enjoys today, because it's only one day a year that you are allowed to be euphoriously in love. In love with someone, in love with life, or just in love with the idea of love.

I know that I've been Valentines' crazy these past couple of weeks, but I really do love(haha) the holiday. To celebrate I thought I'd publish a few facts all about the big L.O.V.E, for your entertainment! (You might need to zoom in a bit, the writing is quite small.)

Have a great day!

Valentines Day Baking

I love all things baking, but I love nothing more than Valentines Day giving me an excuse to go all out with the pink love heart foods. Here are a few ideas for Valentines baking, and be warned: I am going to go all out with the hearts here.

 Heart Macaroons! I would love to try these, but I have heard that they are really hard- maybe it will take more than one attempt, but I'll get there.

Make your sweetheart some heart eggs for Valentines- I think the stick they used is a chopstick(it took a good few minutes of looking to work out what it was!)

This is so clever; put marbles or a rolled up ball of tin foil in the tray with your muffins. This will make them cook in a heart shape.

Don't these Red Velvet Brownies look simply divine! I will definitely be trying them.

DO you have any favourite valentines baking traditions?

Valentines Decor

Even though Valentines day is only one day in the year, I always think that valentines decor looks cute all year round. Who doesn't love a little hearts and romance scattered around their home all the time?

Make this cute canvas with some paint, masking tape(to keep the paint in a straight line), and some red buttons. 

This is my favourite DIY of the lot; coil some wire into the word 'love', and wrap with pink or red string. Super cute!

Print out this cute picture and frame it- so shabby chic and romantic.

Make this adorably garland from old canvas shopping bags cut into triangles. Print with hearts, and string them into bunting. 

Not exactly home decor, but it's a pretty cute idea; bend paper clips into hearts to jazz up work. I'm pretty sure that these would be more sturdy on files anyway.

Make a heart out of wire, and wrap pink string around it, like a dream-catcher. Hang wherever you like!

Coat the inside of a mason jar with Valentine's coloured paint, and use it as a flower vase, or in my case, to store makeup brushes!
