Valentine’s Day Cocktail Recipes

February 5, 2019

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Have you ever stopped to think about the origin of the holiday that we celebrate on February 14th? Me either! However, for the purpose of this post I thought I’d look it up. According to BBC, the day gets its name from a famous saint. It came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century.

Every year my husband gets me a beautiful flower arrangement and a sweet card. Sometimes he gifts me chocolates or jewelry too. I find it incredibly difficult trying to figure out what to give my husband for this holiday. Men definitely have this one much easier when it comes to gifting. Let me know what your favorite gift to give on Valentine’s Day is. I need help! After celebrating 30 Valentine’s Days with my hubby I’m completely out of new gift ideas!

If you happen to be looking for new Valentine’s Day cocktail recipes to serve to your significant other or to your gal pals, I’ve got you covered! I’m a sucker for anything and everything pink, especially cocktails. LOL! Drinks that are our favorite color just taste better, don’t they? I’m actually not a big drinker of alcoholic beverages. However, I do enjoy a delicious and pretty cocktail from time to time.

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖

Both of my outfits in this video are extremely comfortable, wrinkle resistant, travel friendly and versatile.
