Dating ain’t easy, but this could help!

Hit up a patio and relax

• There are some great patios around the city! To name a few, Cibo on Waterfront, Infernos, and The Roost rooftop patio… (Also, looking for more suggestions always)

• Rumor’s Comedy Club

  • Hear me out - I know stand up comedy is not everybody’s jam but seriously… What’s a better way to loosen up a little bit than laughing your brains out to start out the night? Scope out their calendar to see who’s coming up in the near future, I’ve never had a bad time. I guess just double check your date is into it, as sometimes people get real uncomfortable.

• Go for a bike ride

  • Even bike ride to a patio! Even better!

• A romantic stroll through Leo Mol Garden

  • So cute. Casual stroll on a warm summer evening. Can’t go wrong! Even smarter? Start the walk off at Sargent Sundae and grab a treat for the walk.

• Deluca’s cooking class

  • I personally have not done this, but have only heard great things. Good food, great company, perfect combo.

Hit up your fun friends for a double date

• This is perfect at any stage of your relationship. If it’s early on it’s a great way to feel comfortable immediately since you’re paired with some of your close friends for the evening. And, they could also pump your tires a little bit which is a win.

• Goldeyes Baseball Game

  • These games are so affordable and always a good time! Could be fun to go with a group of friends as well.

• Movie in the park

  • A smart piece of advice is to check out the mosquito situation prior to committing to this. The last scenario you want to be in is getting really irritated to the point of crying because the bugs just won’t quit. (Maybe a little extreme, but hey, we all have our days).

That is my go to list for dates here in the city. I hope it helps! If you have suggestions or other go to creative ideas, leave a comment! Whether it’s a first date or a 50th date, we all need to spend some time with the ones we love…or just like ;).

magic monday - helmet hair

it's that time of year again! time to dust off your trusty two wheelers, and hit the mean streets!

it's easy to look cute on a bike, but when you add a helmet into the mix, it seems we all start running into a bit of trouble. LUCKILY, there are some amazing, cute hairstyles you can pair with your favorite helmet!

(I love my crisp white Bern)

Here's a little roundup of my favorite helmet friendly styles.

if your hair is on the longer side, try sprucing up the traditional pigtail by adding  some fishtail into the mix.

a simple half up, half down style like this braided one is great if you still want your locks loose and flowing.

low, messy buns are a simple option for those low on time.

this side roll is a bit trickier, but perfect for glamorous night out.

these three twisted buns are an easy, fun take on the low bun.

a long, side braid is a fantastic way to show off your length while avoiding windswept tangles.

the gibson roll is a favorite of our dear christie (who looks great in a helmet).

happy trails, and happy monday! xxo p
