How to pick the best venue for your first date

wine and flowers

When you finally decide to take the step of finding someone that you are interested in settling down and building a relationship, the best way to get to know each other better is on a date. It can be a double date with a couple who are your mutual friends, or just exclusively and privately, the two of you. However you do it, the main purpose of the first date is to get to know each other on a deeper level and with the intention of taking the step of commitment to one another. More often than not, it is mainly the man’s responsibility to choose the date location, since he is the one who initiated the idea of going out. This can be a critical decision to make and you will need all the information you can have to make sure that the first date will be one that she will remember. The key to finding the right date location is getting a place that both of you will enjoy and especially her. Some people may prefer a classic date scenario, which entails the wine and dine experience, while others may prefer that you have a date that is more active. If your date is someone who is adventurous or sporty, they will want to do an activity that is a hobby during the date. Things like going for a dance class or learning how to ride go karts can be the best date for some people. The main thing you need to do is know what kind of person you are going out with, so that you can create an environment during the date that will encourage revealing of the individual’s true self. Here are some tips in planning the location of the first date;

  1. Think of what your date would want.

Considering the preferences of the person you are going to date is very important since it will make the date seem thoughtful and personal. For a first date, it would really be important for you to give a thoughtful impression, it will create an image of the kind of person you are, and will help you in creating a good foundation for your relationship. One thing you should also be considerate about is where your date will be, before the meeting; do not create an inconvenience for your date to travel almost across town to meet up with you. Having a venue that is convenient will also make sure that your date will show up still looking fresh. To get good equidistant venue around your location, you could do a search on the web like Date Ideas Phoenix.

  1. Consider planning half the date and your date plans the rest.

A way you can release the stress of planning by yourself, is if you split the planning. By doing this, can make you and the other person get to know each other better. You plan the activities of the first half of the date and she will plan for the other half. This technique can advance to later stages in the relationship. On other dates, you can alternate on choosing what to do during the whole date.

Wendy Mignot has a gift for creating exquisite pearl and leather jewelry

IMG_5885

 

I’m not much of a jewelry person. Shoes? Yes … Jewelry? No. That is, until I discovered Wendy Mignot. My husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings to mark my 40th birthday about 10+ years ago. I have worn nothing else on my ears since. Move over 40th birthday present, you have been temporarily replaced by my new Wendy Mignot Lavender pearl earrings. Check out my new pair of  Coastal Petite Lavender Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings. Not only is lavender my favorite color but when I saw these pearl stud earrings, I could not resist. These particular pair of earring are from the Coastal Petite Collection and have sterling silver backs. Wendy Mignot states perfectly that “Each pearl is unique; each piece is unique”. You will find this to be true when you view her collection.

There are eight unique collections with pieces such as earrings, bracelets  and necklaces. The necklace below, from the Seacrest Tahitian collection is handcrafted in leather with assorted Tahitian Pearls. The Round Pearls (10-12mm) and  Drop Pearls (14-16mm) used to create this necklace are simply stunning.

Of course we can’t omit some of the beautiful bracelets like the bracelets form the Azur Turquoise collection. This Larimar and Freshwater Pearl Bracelet is one of my favorites. It’s  a limited edition and available in several lengths. This piece is definitely a turquoise lovers dream bracelet.

Wendy Mignot has been a designer all her life. Her world-renowned styles represent gypset style (artists who live and work around the world) and Bohemian Chic fashion. “Wendy Mingot’s one-of-a-kind jewelry became a trademark and her reflection of adventures at sea, with each design reflecting family, culture and heritage.” You can read about Wend’s amazing story at WendyMingot.com.

Lauren b. Hand Scrub made me feel like I just had a hand treatment at a spa

Lauren B. Polishing Hand Scrub is by far one of the best hand scrubs in the market today. I’m thirty eight so hand scrub is a must have to keep up the appearance of youthful looking hands. It goes on smooth with just a little grainy texture for exfoliation. After using it once, my hands looked and felt incredibly soft, silky and well moisturized. Must be the botanical oils and amino acids working. It feels like I just had a hand treatment at a spa. There’s no need for expensive hand creams when you use Lauren b. and her Polishing Hand Scrub.

You will find this amazing hand scrub at laurenbbeauty.com
