Fave Hollywood Couples

At work the other day we were talking about who are favorite celebrity couples are and I thought it was so interesting. I know that relationships can come and go, especially in Hollywood (I can't imagine the stress fame adds) so I know that as I'm typing this these couples may be broken up by the time I actually publish this post but here it goes anyways.

Justin & Selena

They are just so cute and remind me of the old Justin + Britney days.
Did you guys watch his specials last week? The hubs and I watched it together, he is so talented and sweet!
 

Beyonce & Jay Z

This couple is amazing and I love that they're so successful and have been together for years.

Giuliana & Bill Rancic

Most perfect couple! I'm so happy they're getting to start their family they always wanted. 

Ryan Seacrest & Julianne Hough

At first I thought they were an odd pair, but I bet they have so much fun together. She's the cutest.

David & Victoria Beckham

I think everyone loves them together.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds

She's bounced around from a few guys, but I think her and Ryan seem like a great pair.

Who are some of your favorite famous couples?

Re-Post Valentine Crafts

**Hey ladies! I posted this last year (see it originally here), but with Valentines coming up I wanted to re-post some crafts I've made in the past. Amber from Amber's Notebook has a great idea in the comments of the original post as well you might want to check out! I've done it myself and the Fiance LOVED it! Feel free to add any ideas as well! I'm looking for something new this year!**

For holidays, the BF and I like to do something together instead of exchanging gifts, but we always exchange a card. Psssst....he picks the best ones! I re-read them all the time!


With Valentines coming up, I thought I would share two card ideas I did for my lover that he absolutely loved. It was a big hit with his roommates and my guy friends as well. One guy even took a picture and sent it to his girlfriend for her to do next time! Lol!


They're both easy, just time consuming, and they won't cost you a pretty penny.






The first is a candy bar card, it's pretty common, but people forget about it. You just write out a message using candy for part of the words. It gets kind of hard sometimes to think of lines, but it's fun to be creative. I found that it was easier to list a bunch of candy first, then see what I could make of it. I did this card for his birthday and it was a lot of fun to make. PS several of my friends made fun of me for this card, but 3 of them have since copied my great idea!




 




The second card I did for Valentines Day last year. On the front I put "I love you more than..." and then cut out what felt like 100s of hearts (really wish I had a die-cut) by hand and put things I enjoy on them. Then on the inside I did the ABCs of what I love about him. This card took more time than I thought so I would suggest starting soon. Like today. My friends made fun of me for this card too (why do I keep asking them for help with ideas???) but they all loved the finished product.

**Updates**

Here are some cute cards I found from Martha Stewart! They're so cute! Click on the type of card to link to the instructions. She also has other cute gift ideas to check out as well like a Pistachio Wreath, Jewelry Box of Semi-Precious Candies, and Heart-Shaped Pot Holders (which I'm dying to do).

 

Heartstring Valentines Card- a message is revealed as you pull the string!

 

Pop-up Valentine

 

Embellished Envelope Cards- Super cute coupons for loved ones!

This year the Fiance and I have decided to give eachother something sweet to eat. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do for a card, but for a gift I'm thinking of a cookie bouquet or one gigantic cookie. Ladies, if you have any cute ideas, please share!

100 Days Until the BIG Day!

Today marks 100 days until the wedding!! Aaagh tomorrow we'll be in double digits! I was so excited I got the Fiance a card (above) and got us something special and something we (really I) need...

A cooking class! Groupon (have you signed up yet??) had a special for classes at the Village Kitchen Shoppe in Glendora, CA so I took advantage and got one for us both to take. We've talked in the past how fun it would be to take a class together and learn to make something delicious and I thought this was the perfect opportunity! The classes are different each week and include some delicious food like Northwood's Inn Cheesebread (absolutely delicious!), Pork Rillettes, plus more.

Also, I'm so happy about the wedding being so close! The Fiance is my pefect match and really does complete me. Being with him has been a complete joy and has brought so much to my life these past years together. They always say that when you meet The One you know and it really is true. I can tell you when and where we met, what we talked about and what we were wearing. From that day forth I knew he was special and I couldn't explain why I was so drawn to him without sounding like a romantic git. We didn't date for several months and in those months we both dated oher people but I always just KNEW he was for me. I'll tell you guys the whole story another time, I'm sure.

I haven't thought of my card yet for this year, we're going to the zoo that day (if my beau can get a decent shift at work anyways) so I want to do an animal theme. Please, if you have any ideas, send them my way!

Most Romantic Couple?

My favorite celebrity couple has got to be Heidi & Seal. Not just because they are both gorgeous, but because they're so in love. It just radiates from them. They are always referring to each other as "my husband" and "my wife", and they do it adoringly. Plus, they also renew their vows every year and throw a themed party for their friends to also celebrate with them. This tradition even inspired newlyweds Fergie and Josh Duhamel to do the same this year.

Heidi is the covergirl for the February InStyle and I think she's the perfect woman to do so for the month that celebrates love (even if it is a Hallmark holiday). I read her article last night, and it's really stuck with me. I'm very much in awe of her and Seal's love and it really inspired me to show my love for my lover even more.

Here are some quotes from the article:

"I don't flirt. Even if you don't touch someone or do anything to them, it's disrespectful to your husband. I would never do that. I'm very devoted and he's the same."

What do you think about this? My bf and I are natural flirts, but I don't think either of us ever cross the line, but her point of view made think about it. Is it disrespectful? Would our relationship change if we turned that flirtiness to only each other? We our connection be deeper because we kept focused on only each other?


"Seal still says beautiful things to me after all these years. I couldn't be more excited when he come home."



Here's her most romantic song: "Wedding Day" which Seal wrote for her on their, you guessed it, wedding day.

Her most romantic room in the house: "Whichever one Seal is in."

The following romantic gift, gesture, and letter also all include her "husband".

If all of this wasn't cute enough, they always dress as a themed couple for Halloween each year.

Who is your favorite couple, celebrity or not? Why are they your favorite?

What have you learned from other couples that you do in your current relationships?

The few things I've learned from relationships I admire is to always respect the other person and treat them that way, that when you're fighting to remember you're on the same team, and to always tell the other person how you feel and show it to them without worrying about your pride.
