__________________________________________________________________________________

Do you have a upcoming casual date night? No worries, bring out those gold sequin pants and your favorite abstract art printed grey sweatshirt and get to it!

Oh, yeah, Happy belated Valentine's Day to you all! I hope it was everything that it should have been for you and more. All last week, I was trying to come up with some not-so-typical date night ideas.

Here's what I came up with:

TWP Approved Date Night list

Take a visit to your favorite local art museum and finish the date with brunch and unlimited mimosas
Get active with an indoor rock climbing gym experience followed by a scenic lunch
Get lifted in a hot air balloon and take in the views below
Take a visit to your local bookstore and share life experiences over coffee
Cuddle up under the stars while watching an outdoor movie with an impromptu picnic
Relax your mind and let your conscience be free with joint spa appointments
Get in the giving spirit with a shared volunteer activity

What say you? Do you have any not-so-typical date night ideas to add to the list? I would love to hear if you did anything particularly interesting for Valentine's Day #SpreadLoveItsTheBrooklynWay

Memo 171: Book Worm

__________________________________________________________________________________

Books do something to my spirit and I'm not lying. I can literally spend all day in a bookstore between several piles of books spanning all different types of subject matter. And there's nothing like a shiny, new, crispy paged book to get lost in.

Here's a little known fact about me, I'm pretty old school about my planner and my books. I'm addicted to pages. There's something about writing down thoughts, ideas, goals and turning a page that allows me to really connect with the subject a little bit better.

I am currently in the middle of about 3 different books with a new addition (#GirlBoss) on the horizon:

They are all great reads that serve different purposes for my life.

Someday, I will actually start and finish one of these books. Until then, I'll be reading a few pages per book a day. It all just really depends on how I'm feeling #Mood.

I know, I know! It's been a minute, right? Don't hate me, k? Sometimes life shows up.

So, about these stripes. Yup, loving them. When I spotted this massive pinstripe scarf over at ASOS, I knew I had the perfect outfit to bring it to life. I mean the scarf giveth life on its own but I sent it into stripe overload and it's one for the books!
