Candles Outside – Beware!

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Ahhh, don’t you just love the scene below? So home-y and gorgeous, a warm glow of candlelight illuminating a beautiful table.  It’s absolutely stunning! One thing to keep in mind when re-creating this lovely look: the wind! Don’t underestimate the power of the wind to blow out your candles, no matter how large the jar or candleholder is!

Instead of lighting & re-lighting votives until your fingers are burnt, just go for the cheap battery-powered votives. You’ll get the same look but without the headache.

5 Valentines Day Ideas Your Girlfriend Will Love

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Here are 5 super-romantic Valentines Day ideas that your girlfriend is sure to love! Special Bonus: these can also be adapted for some amazing proposals!

  1. Book a private wine tasting and lesson with a sommelier at a wine bar (Try: Ayza Wine Bar in Midtown)
  2. Reserve an art gallery for the evening (less expensive than you may think!) and have a “floor picnic” complete with wine, a blanket surrounded by candles and great music (Try: Hosfelt Gallery on 36th between 10th and 11th)
  3. Hire a personal chef to come to your house and cook a gourmet meal.  (Like cooking?  Turn it into a class as well!  Check out Home Cooking NY)
  4. Reserve 2 spots on the Sweet Walks New York Chocolate Tours and enjoy an afternoon of exotic, decadent chocolates.  (Our pick is the New Cuisine tour with Bert as the guide!)
  5. Arrange a private pottery lesson and create your own art together like in the movie Ghost (Check out: The Painted Pot in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn)
