I know that a lot of teenage girls tend to get frustrated around Valentine's Day because they're single. Personally, though, I've always loved Valentine's Day- a whole holiday celebrating pink, chocolate, flowers, and making cards for friends?? I see no issue here. 

Nevertheless, I know that some people don't share my feelings, and they spend the day moping because they don't have a boyfriend. SO, I'd like to prove to you all that you can have an absolutely fabulous Valentine's Day, AND be a single pringle. 

BOYS ARE UNNECESSARY, LADIES!!!!!!

This has been Daily Rants With Grace Anne. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

  ♥ ~~~~~~ ♥

1. Have a movie night!! Valentine's Day is the perfect day to watch some chick flicks. My personal favorites are anything on Hallmark, and of course no movie night is complete without The Princess Diaries! Throwing in some Disney never hurts, either. (In other words, I'm giving you an excuse to watch Tangled for the seventeenth time. You're welcome.)

2. Plan a girls' night out with your friends! Make plans to go out for dinner, dessert, or to a coffee shop. Nothing's more fun than getting dressed up to hit the town with some of your favorite people! Plus, planning Valentine's Day outfits is always super fun.

3. Eat chocolate. Literally anything chocolate. Personally I suggest chocolate chip cheesecake with hot cocoa, but that's just an idea... (I'm trying to involve as much chocolate here as possible if you can't tell.)

4. Make handmade Valentine's Day cards! I love spending time to craft the perfect card for someone, it's so much fun. I'm planning to make my cards tomorrow; it's going to be fun! Put on some great music, grab a plate of cookies, and get crafting!

5. Read about your favorite fictional couple! What better day to obsess over your favorite romance than Valentine's Day?

6. Valentine's Day is the perfect weekend to forget about calories and splurge on sweets, so why not bake something? Cookies, cupcakes, brownies- yum! Plus, you can totally go crazy on the seasonal sprinkles. SPRINKLES ARE YOUR FRIEND, GIRL!!

7. Get Valentine's Day doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. This is a requirement. THEY'RE THE LEGIT BEST.

8. Paint your nails! Painting your nails a fun red or pink is a great way to feel a bit more festive. I can't decide what color to do mine, but they're in definite need of some sprucing up.

9. Spend some quality time with your cat. That's my plan. #crazycatladyforlife

10. JUST ENJOY THE DAY AND DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!!! PLEASE don't waste the day obsessing over being single. I have way too many friends who do that, and they just make themselves miserable. Have a good day! Read a book, play a game, call a friend- enjoy life. Don't waste it obsessing over the lack of a guy in your life. Trust me, it's just silly.

Christmas Gift Guide!

Is it just me, or can finding the perfect gift be really difficult? I'm always trying to figure out the perfect gift for friends and family, but it isn't always easy. I know that lots of people struggle with gift giving, so I thought that I'd make a gift guide for you all to hopefully spark some ideas!

(none of the images are mine)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Try Etsy! You can find some great stuff on there that's fairly inexpensive. This necklace is only $8, perfect for the Harry Potter fan in your life! They have fun items related to almost any book that your friend might like, or just some cool things in general. 

2. Make a hot chocolate mix ornament! You can fill it with lots of yummy things, and it's a delicious, simple gift! 

3. Speaking of ornaments, I think that these are absolutely adorable. You can get the tiny pieces of wood at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I may have to try making a couple of these myself!

4. I think that this is absolutely the sweetest gift idea ever! Perfect for anyone that you care about.

5. A mani-pedi Mason jar would be a great gift to give to a friend! It's super simple to put together, and almost anyone would love it!

6. I like to call this the classic white girl kit. Starbucks cup, Target gift card, nail polish, lip balm, etc. I may have to put a few of these together this year! 

7. If the person you're gift-hunting for likes to read, give them a book! Books are always a perfect gift, in my opinion. 

8. Isn't this adorable? You could write any quote that your friend likes on their mug, and it would be a great, personal gift. 

9. Handmade jewelry is so much fun to make and to give, and with so many tutorials online, it's easy to learn!

10. You could always hand paint a sign for your friend with one of their favorite sayings on it!

And hey- when all else fails- just get a gift card....

Happy St. Patrick's Day! + Helpppppppp

 Hi everybody!! Happy St. Patrick's Day! :) How are you all? Did you wear green today? I just spent the day at home, but I'm wearing a green shirt that says "Luck of the Irish" with a few gold shamrocks and yoga pants haha. Can we just agree that yoga pants are basically the best things in the entire world? Okay? Okay.

Wouldn't it be cool to actually be in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day? I bet that it's so much fun there today. I'd love to see all of the Irish dancers! I love Irish dance, although I've never tried it myself. I have a friend who does it, and she's incredible! It looks like it would be a lot of fun though. :)

So, I need your help. Lately I've been super busy and super inspiration-less, and I haven't been posting. I'M SORRYYYYYYYYY! But I want some input from you all. What would you like to see me post on here? I'd love some ideas! PLEASE comment below!

Hope that you all have had a great day! :)

Cute Valentine's Day Gifts!

Hello everyone! Wow, Valentine's Day is in FOUR days! I can't believe it! With that in mind, I've compiled a list of some cute V-Day gift ideas. :) These are some of my favorite gifts, that I think anyone would love to receive!

These rings are perfect for Valentine's Day! They look so cute all stacked together. You can find these at Forever 21 for around three dollars.

I love color-themed gifts, and I think that it would be adorable to put a bunch of items like these ^^ in a bag with a tag "Think Pink!" I just included a Baby Lips, a lip gloss from H&M, some hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works, and a cute little pink bear. :)

In my opinion, EOS are always a go-to for a gift! I love the EOS cucumber hand lotion, and I think it's super cute to add a V-Day themed hair tie around it for some holiday flair. And of course, we always need lip balm! I am obsessed with the Rachel Roy limited edition EOS, I kind of stocked up so that I would have them for a nice long time!

Now, what girl doesn't love jewelry on Valentine's Day? I think that this heart necklace is super pretty, and it would make a great gift!

Speaking of jewelry, a locket is a classic Valentine's Day gift. My grandma actually gave me this one, and I love it. :) (Oh, and if you're wondering, the jewelry tree pictured is from Target).

Well, I hope that this has given you some more ideas for Valentine's Day! What do you like to give for gifts? Comment below!
