La Vie en Rose - Valentine's Day

February 5th 2018


by Aude
 
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I am pretty sure I’ve got some lovers up here. If you are not in a cheesy mood (but why? Why?) you might wanna skip that one. And if you do not have a lover that’s not a problem as you might also want to treat yourself to some cute gifts and enjoy a nice dinner with friends.
 
Let’s get cheesy and think pink!
 
On the menu today:
 
My yummy Valentine: a round-up of the most attractive Valentine’s Day menus in town for those who want to indulge but also those who are not willing to break the bank and a few yummy treats that you can enjoy at home without having anyone judging you (oupsie, I ate the entire box of chocolates)

My beauty Valentine: a few ideas to pamper yourself for a very special Valentine’s Day
