Valentine's Day

Hi!

It's only 10 days to Valentine's Day, I'm usually super organised and would have loads planned already but the last year or so I've just been more laid back and taking each day as it comes. As a result, I've not actually gotten anything more than a card for Jack, my boyfriend, so far.

I won't talk about my own plans for the 14th and the following weekend, the 14th is a Thursday and school (>_<) , as Jack usually reads this little blog and I wouldn't want to ruin any planned surprises.
I will, however, give you some general ideas that you could do for your other half (or yourself, or even just with your friends) this Valentine's.

1.) Breakfast in bed
It's lovely to be brought your favourite breakfast in bed when you wake up. My personal favourite has got to be pancakes with thick Greek yogurt, maple syrup and fresh fruit with some nice fruit juice or a cup of tea. You could also make a nice pink/red smoothie using your favourite fruit combinations, I'd suggest banana, strawberry and blueberry. As long as you have plenty of strawberries or raspberries (or both!), or another red fruit, in your smoothie you'll get a lovely pinky red colour - perfect for Valentine's Day.

2.) A walk and a picnic
If you're lucky enough to live somewhere that gets nice dry weather in February (I'm jealous of you) then why not take a walk and have a picnic somewhere, maybe to your favourite place or to where you first met/had your first kiss together/got engaged. It's a nice chance to just talk and forget about any worries you may have. (And it makes for good exercise.)

3.) Bake together
If you both enjoy baking (or at least eating buns/biscuits!) then baking together can be great fun and you (might) have some tasty treats to eat afterwards. You could make some heart shaped biscuits with pink and red icing on top or some pink cupcakes.

4.) Watch a movie together
Pick your favourite movies, curl up together and get comfy and spend the day watching each others favourite movies. Sometimes it's nice to simply just be in the company of your loved one.

5.) Treat each other
Give your other half a massage, feed them fruit, take them out to dinner/make them dinner, run them a bubble bath, or anything else you know they enjoy. It's nice to know that your other half cares for you and loves you and it's nice to be able to relax together.

That's all the ideas that I have at the moment. What are you planning on doing this Valentine's Day?

Back Again!

Hello there my dear readers!

I do apologise for the complete lack of posts. I've had exams and I'm currently a bit ill. I promise I'll try to post more regularly though.

On a brighter note, I am super excited because my parents are getting me a puppy! He's a pure white Siberian husky and his name is Ghost. It was actually my lovely boyfriend who named him, he thought it's be adorable for my puppy to be his little ghost's little Ghost (as you already know he calls me his little ghost). And yes, he admitted that it is also a Game of Thrones reference. I think that Ghost is such a perfect name for a pure white husky though.

I get to bring him home on the 13th of this month when he will be 6 weeks old. I cannot wait! We've already bought everything he will need, leads collars, a kennel, a bed, bowls, brushes, toys, etc.

We (my parents, my boyfriend and I) went to visit him last night, it's friends of ours who own the parents of the litter, and he is just the cutest little puppy ever! We had gone up to see the pups about 10 days ago (before my parents decided that we would get a dog) and flip he's grown so much more than I'd expected! My dad had lots of dogs when he was younger and I know several people who have had dogs so I was expecting Ghost to have grown a lot but he shocked both me and my dad at just how much he had grown.

Expect lots of photos when I get him! He's absolutely adorable!

I would quite happily take all four of the puppies home, but I'm only allowed one. Although, in reality I wouldn't actually want to keep all four puppies because I know I couldn't look after four dogs properly, it wouldn't be fair on them. I'm perfectly happy with just the one, along with my cat, who i can spend much more time caring for.

Do you have any pets? Or any tips for me for games I could play with my puppy?

Love,

The Little Ghost
