That ol' Valentine

Hey angels. 

So as you all know the big VALENTINES day is coming up soon. So I was thinking of giving you a perfect date idea that is low budget.

Breathtaking Beach Getaway for...two

What you need:

• Over-sized beach towel or blanket
• strawberries
• chocolate
• candles
• two large pillows
• picnic basket 
• some assorted snacks that you both will love.

To do?

All you need now is a sunset and a beach that is not too crowded. Set your blanket down (not too close to the shore break, you don't want to get wet.) Then place the candles in the sand next to the blanket.. not on top and light them to get a warm, glowing romantic affect. Set out a plate of strawberries and chocolate out in the middle of the blanket and the snacks. Place the pillows on either side of the assorted snack and whaalaa! There you have a low budget date for two.

Imagine sharing a sweet kiss in a back round like this... 

The Debutantes Ball

Hey hey everyone so on Friday was the debs ball (held at Collisheen estate), first of all here are a few pics...

Us girls and our dates (I'm in silver).

My date and I (Colben Holmes).

Colben and I again, here you get a better view of my dress.

The night was amazing, the food was great and the music was good. I did not make it into the top 10 because I didn't raise enough funds, I raised about R2600. All together the Debutantes and Squires program raised over R55 000. The money was handed to the charities and the top ten and top three debutantes and squires were named. 

The top 3 debutantes and squires, 3rd place is Rynarhdt Botha (left), 2nd place is Gabby Kater (right) and 1st place is Angie De Agrela (middle).

My dress was a silver mermaid style gown (sleeveless) My boyfriend's suit was a black slim fit with a skinny tie. Most of the dresses were rented in a place in durban called Cinderella's and Colben's suit was rented at a place called Suit Yourself. Both places are situated in Kensington Square in Durban North. My shoes were brought from Zara.

Congratulations to the Top 3 and all the Debs and Squires for raising money for the less fortunate! Lets make next year an even better one!  

And counting...

4 more days till the debutantes ball! Sorry i haven't posted in a while, been busy with the ball arrangements! 

My next post will be after the 26th October! I will be doing a huge post on the ball, maybe even a make-up tutorial but that is a big maybe! Does anyone have some ideas for a Halloween party for me that won't cost me a fortune to host?? 

The most romantic places for a date

The most romantic place for me, personally, would be the beach at sunset, having a picnic with candles lit everywhere. 

Maybe yours is somewhere in Paris, or a fancy restaurant, but whatever your dream destination is, here are some pics of the most romantic places in history.

This place gives off that warm relaxed feeling (a perfect place to fall inlove all over again).

A lake resort for two?

A trip to an exotic island with crystal clear water and pure white beach sand.

 A romantic candle lit dinner on the beach? Yes please!

A fresh summertime picnic in a field full of flowers.

For me, anything near water will be perfect, I am a pices after all.

What looks best for you?
