It’s February – you know what that means. The Xs and Os are abundant, pink and red are the only colors you can spot Target, glitter is everywhere, you’re doodling hearts in the margins of your notes, and the sugar – OH, the sugar. Forget Beiber -- everyone has seemed to catch the Valentines’ Day fever.
My favorite part of Valentine’s Day is the element of surprise! I truly believe that nothing can make a heart swell like an unexpected gift/favor/happenstance. For instance, I walked into my room today to see a lovely little arrangement of Valentine’s goodies including nutella (my obsession) with a card from a secret Valentine. It made my day! I wanted to give other people a surprising joy on V-Day – domestically, of course.
For my sorority, I hold a position called “Greek relations” chair. My job basically entails tangibly showing the other sororities and fraternities how much we appreciate them. For tomorrow, on behalf of the sorority, each Greek house will get a little V-day treat: Heart shaped brownies!
I cut some domestic corners that I want to share! Some products that saved pain & time were:
Silicone bake ware is durable, long-lasting & rust-free! It doesn’t restrict you as much as traditional bake ware does. This really helped when I was making the heat-shaped brownies because it kept the shape wonderfully & without pain.
Betty Crocker Easy Flow Decorative Icing is fantastic. This product gives the illusion that you spent forever on the icing and messed with the whole plastic-bag-sticky-fingers-icing method. Thanks to this easy short-cut, domesticity is made easy and more tidy!
Thanks to these products, making the Valentine’s Day treats for the Greek community was a breeze. I wrapped each one in a piece of red tablecloth and tied it off with a nifty bow.
Here’s to Valentine’s Day & the love of chocolate!! Hope you are surprised by some lovely things today.
