Be Cupid for Valentine’s Day

I cannot believe Valentine’s Day is one week away. While the hubby and I don’t do too much for each other, my brothers and I do something special for my Mom and Grandmother. My Grandfather passed away 12 years ago and my Father is in Afghanistan – so there is even more reason for us kids to step up to the plate and share a little love to the matriarchs of the family.

But we are usually scrambling and searching websites for decent flowers or the drugstore aisles for decent candy. Then scouring the internet for discount codes. This year, I’m on it, and I am sharing the love. Here are two awesome discounts for fabulous florals from Pro-Flowers and yummy chocolate dipped berries from Shari’s Berries. Two great companies that you can trust to deliver the prettiest and freshest flowers and berries. Trust them – they’ll make you look good. With the huge options you can find on their respective websites, you definitely will see something fabulous too.

So go. Now. Order flowers for your Mom, or order chocolate dipped strawberries for your significant other. Plus, since I heart you guys so much, I’m helping you to rock the V-day love fest even more: I’m giving away a $50 code for Pro-Flowers or Shari’s Berries. Yes, fifty smack-a-roos.

Rep Lips

Now you totally can be the cupid of Valentine’s Day.

Saves for those Winter Blues

This week Eversave Boston has some fun deals that can save you from the winter blues. Each day, check back here for the my top five ‘winter blue savers’, and take some time to pamper, relax and enjoy. Spring will be here before you know it (despite what the rodent in Pennsylvania said.)

Day One: Massage

Time to let your poor body know you care. Here is a relaxing Save: $35 for a 55-minute therapeutic massage at  Blondie Salon & Spa in Waltham, MA. With five stars on Citysearch and a spot on Boston.com’s A-list, locals call this a “Newbury Street experience in the ‘burbs.”

Day Two: House Cleaning

Being stuck in the house all winter can make you start seeing dust bunnies. Let Ultimate Cleaning sweep them up for a $65 standard cleaning package for one-to three bedroom house or apartment (2,000 square feet or less) within 10 miles within Charlestown, MA. They are bonded and insured professionals, using green products, and take part in regular training classes to keep their tidying techniques sharp — just what you’d expect from a family-owned and operated business.

Day Three: Laser Hair Removal

While swimsuit season is a few months away, start the prep now and imagine how the sun will feel on your stubble-free skin. Get three laser hair removal treatments from A&A Laser in Newton: $99 for three laser hair removal treatments for eyebrows (in between and above), upper lip, chin, sideburns, front of neck, back of neck or underarms, or $149 for three laser hair removal treatments for Brazilian bikini or extreme bikini. You will look fabulous.

Day Four: Flowers

By mid-February, I am craving some green. Flowers, plants, you name it. So at least add some fragrance and color to your indoor space with this deal. $10 for $20 to spend at Mahoney’s second annual Orchid and Tropical Plant Festival from February 11-February 26th in Winchester, Brighton, Tewksbury, Chelmsford, East Falmouth. (PS. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day find too!)

Day Five: Get out of the House

Sometimes all you need to shake the winter blues is to get out of the house and have a nice meal with some friends. Nothing puts the spark back than some good belly laughs. So snag this deal for Appetito in Newton. The money you save can go to another fun gathering.

These deals won’t last long – just like Winter. So heat it up.
