Ashley Diaz @makehomewarm

Kids: Yes, but my 16 month old is asleep at 7:30!

Gift for man? Getting “Plated”

Beauty tip? I have three:

  1. WORK OUT same day of your date! It will boost your confidence. Also, exercise stimulates circulation that can give you those cute pink cheeks. It also triggers lymphatic flow which can reduce any puffiness or dark circles around the eyes.
  2. WASH YOUR FACE every night leading up to your date night
  3. Get a MYK Silk pillowcase! It’s SO good for your skin & hair. My favorite brand provided a 15% off code just for you babes to get one before Valentine’s Day: VDAY15. Also check out my 5 beauty must haves post for more tips.

Sally Butan @thebutanclan

Kids: No babysitter so we’ll be hanging out with the kids. We’ll probably stay home, watch a movie and do dinner or have a baby that day.

Gift for man? My hubby isn’t a gift kind of guy. I’ll probably bake my husband a gluten free cake and get him his favorite type of whiskey.

Beauty tip? I’ll do my make up and add strong red lips for the occasion.

Outfit? Since I’m 9 months pregnant I can’t really get into anything sexy so I’ll most likely be in leggings.

Jen Reeves @theblogisalmostready

Kids: unsure. Preferably not.

Going out: more than likely dinner & a movie

Gift for man: yes, goodie basket with razors, shower stuff, cologne or maybe a yeti (he never buys himself anything)

Beauty tip? nice bath plus face masks & full skin routine the night before. Day of I will more than likely keep it semi classic/casual/cute

Outfit? Jeans, fedora, oversized cardi

Katelyn Boose @kay.christine.boose

Going out: Yes, we plan on doing a couples massage, we got a gift card from my in-laws for Christmas. And then grabbing a bite to eat.

Gift for man? I typically bake something, probably his favorite, peanut butter cookies stamped with a heart. And then a card with a sweet sentiment.

Beauty tip? Since I’m a total mom with the whole “mom bun everyday” thing, I’m letting my hair down, and letting the natural waves flow. Also, going with a natural makeup face with some matte lipstick.

Outfit? Since we are getting massages, I’m keeping it casual with some skinny jeans, healed booties, and a sweater- quick and easy to change.

Nicole Buchanan @nicole.k.buchanan

Going out: Yes-going to our fav seafood restaurant

Gift for man? I make chocolate covered strawberries (my mans fav)

Beauty tip? Relaxing bath with calming tea and face mask in the morning, to prep for later that night!

Outfit? Faux leather moto leggings, white satin cami, colorblock cardi, booties

Victoria Escobar @victoria.i.escobar

Going out: prob not

Gift for man? A proper massage by me

Beauty tip? Wear that red or pink lip that often stays in your makeup bag

Outfit? Something silky

Lauren McDonald@lauren_mcmama

Going out: not on vday, we like to stay in, but on the weekend going out alone with hubs!

Gift for man: We’ve never really been big into gifts for Valentine’s Day…But our gift to each other is usually dinner and a movie and then we buy each other our favorite movie snacks, and put them in gift bags to open.

Beauty tip? Do a hydrating facial the night before you go out to celebrate vday, and your face will have an extra natural glow. Or if you want to give your eyes an extra pop, head on over to your local Walgreens/CVS and pick up some magnetic lashes

Outfit? On vday I’ll be wearing pjs bc we will be home – when we go out- faux leather leggings, Maroon booties and a black off the shoulder shirt with a choker.

Stephanie Yi @theheartofahippieblog

Kids: yes on Vday but not on date night

Going out: yes but not on Valentines Night

Beauty tip? Get soft kissable lips with a homemade Shea butter lip balm and a few drops of Frankincense.
