Friday, you are such a beaut. Do you have big plans for the weekend or are you laying low? I already hinted at the fact that Pete and I are going to be total homebodies and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Before we kick off the weekend, let’s dive head first into the latest and greatest on the web. After you…

• I’ve got your locks of love covered for V-day with this no fuss hair tutorial.
• The fiddle leaf fig I got a few months ago has seen wayyy better days. Translation: it’s losing leaves like crazy and seems to shrinking at a rapid pace. I’m taking these tips on how to care for a fiddle leaf fig to heart because it needs it.
• Yes to everything on this list of things you shouldn’t do if you’re ready to talk marriage. This is probably a post for another day, but I’m super thankful that Pete and I have the type of relationship where we can discuss marriage openly. It takes the stress off both of us.
• I’m determined to learn how to take better photos for my blog (more on this from the 26 and Not Counting reader survey next week. If you haven’t taken it yet, time is running out!). Alissa’s tips on how to take better blog photos are priceless for a beginner like me.
• I’m palm leaf obsessed right now – which I attribute to the lack of greenery when I look outside. I just ordered some personalized notecards and I can’t wait for that happy mail day to arrive.
• Believe it or not, we still have leftover champagne from NYE. I just might have to whip up the Cupid’s Kiss Cocktail to go with our heart shaped pizza 😉
• I really appreciate Juley’s honest dialogue regarding her finances. I’m fascinated by articles on how people manage their money and I devoured each and every one of the articles she suggested.
• Alex, to the rescue! These adorable Galentine’s Day printables are available for the low, low price of on the house. Print them out and spread the love.
• President’s Day Sales worth shopping: Nordstrom – hello, clearance! These leather brogues are perfect in every way. Old Navy – 20% off everything with code SAVENOW. As if I needed an excuse to stock up on more of my favorite fitness gear.

TGIF AND HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
