This & That | VDay Recap

Heyyyy guys!!! Anyone over me talking about Valentine’s Day?

If so, my bad & my apologies, clearly you can tell it’s one of my fave holidays, & naturally I’m gonna recap it::

Since Zack & I’s anniversary is roughly (who really remembers that anyways?!) around Valentine’s Day, we like to make life easier & combine the two. We also like to celebrate a few days early to dodge the crowds of couples trying to score a table at an overly crowded restaurant.

So, Wednesday night, we set a full blown VDay date night. First we went to DIY terrariums at one of my fave stores, Pigment. The entire back of the store is basically a full blown terrarium crafting station with all the fixings. We love crafting, so this was right up our alley! After that we had a yummy dinner at Alexanders on 30th, the cutest little European inspired restaurant that is completely covered in ivy & twinkle (seen above– dreamy, right?!).

We were heading to Big Bear the next day, so we wrapped up the night with some mandatory gelato, & got ready for our weekend cabin adventure. Once in Big Bear, relaxation was literally the only plan. The wifi was completely shot at our cabin, so although it wasn’t by choice, we got to 100% disconnect the entire weekend. Surprisingly, I survived & got to spend some good QT with Zack before he jetted off to Australian for three weeks (tear).

All in al, def. another great Valentine’s Day for the books!! Enough about me though, would love to hear about your guys’ VDay highlights!
