A serenade from you to them
And so I offer to you serenades for your girlfriends, wives, sisters, grandmas/pas & mothers. A gift idea for Valentines Day, birthdays, and anniversaries. A gesture to say “I’m thinking about you”, “I love you”, and just because.
How it works: we use Face Time, or Skype at the designated time and I play you and your girl (or just her if you’d like) 3 songs. It’s about 15 minutes. I play cover songs and originals (and will provide a list to choose from).
If you want a longer serenade, there is an option for that.
If you want me to write an Original Love song just for your girl, there is also an option for that. I will need at least 3 weeks notice for that option.
Also included- all serenades will be video recorded so you have them to watch forever
3 SONG SERENADE
5 SONG SERENADE
3 Songs are $50
5 songs are $70 (15% savings)
DELUXE ORIGINAL SONG
An original song is $500. I need at least 3 weeks to gather information, write the song, and then record it. Yes, you will get a professional recording of your song:) And a credit in the notes.
Recommended- a good set of speakers to plug your phone or computer
What people are saying:
“That was amazing and you are so special. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us.”
“I loved the personal little acoustic session and will probably do one again with you at some point.”

Valentine’s Day is a mere few days away! Perhaps your dinner reservation is already in place, or perhaps not – but either way, have you thought ahead to what you’ll be sipping on and dining on that evening?
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Mandy Enright ofNutrition Nuptials suggests your readers enjoy their food, and their sweetie, this February 14th. Mandy suggests “everything in moderation” but there’s no sense in depriving ourselves of that occasional dip into the luxurious dark chocolate box!
In addition to chocolate, there are hidden gems found in certain foods that can increase the sexiness of a meal and maybe even spark some after-dinner delight. Certain foods have been well-researched on their aphrodisiac properties, for example, chocolate, strawberries, figs, oysters and champagne. But what about the less well-known sexy foods that influence our heart and brain, which in turn can lead to some sexy side effects?
Would you believe coffee, eggs, beets, honey, watermelon and saffron all fall into the sexy foods category? Mandy would love to set up a time this week with you to share details about how these “sexy” foods and more excite our bodies. Let me know if you need anything more or wish to speak with her!

Create some buzz this Valentine’s Day, with a bee-friendly gift from Friends of the Earth
Friends of the Earth (@friends_earth on social media channels) has teamed up with Wildflower Favours, specialists in eco-friendly wedding favours, to create a unique Valentine’s Day gift inspired by nature. Whether you’re planning the big day, or preparing to pop the question, the Bee Cause Wedding Favours are the perfect way to celebrate love while doing your bit for the planet.
The pretty seed packets, with a rustic design printed on recycled manila paper, can be personalised with the happy couples’ names – as well as the date to commemorate the big day.
Emi Murphy, bee campaigner at Friends of the Earth said:
“Bees pollinate much of the food that makes our diets healthy and tasty – from the apple in our lunchbox, to the tomatoes on our pizza – so we’re calling on everyone to give our bees some love this Valentine’s Day! Whether you’ve got a large garden or a small window box, sowing wildflower seeds in early spring is a great way to give bees nectar, pollen and shelter”
Teresa, founder of Wildflower Favours said:
“Friends of the Earth is doing incredible work to inspire people with the Bee Cause campaign and working tirelessly to protect Britain’s bees, we are so pleased our products can support their work”
Share the love with our bees
Our Bee Cause Wedding Favours contain seeds that have been selected to provide a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees, as well as shelter. They include plants such as Selfheal, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Field Scabious and Lesser Knapweed seeds – all perennial wildflowers that bees love.
Romantic bee trivia
As well as being the popular saint who lends his name to the day of love celebrated by couples, St Valentine is also the patron saint of beekeepers.
In ancient times a honeymoon referred to the time of year when bee honey was ripe and cured to be harvested from hives or from the wild, which made it the sweetest time of the year. This was usually around the summer solstice near the end of June.
