Green Love: 3 Planet-Friendly Date Ideas
Sometimes Valentine's Day becomes a bit too much about buying expensive, unnecessary jewelry and making reservations at over-the-top restaurants, and not enough about remembering what really matters. In thinking about celebrating your love this year - for your partner or friends or family - why not also think about doing something that's good for people and the planet?
Feel the "green love" through these three fun date ideas that are healthy for you and the planet!
1) Music Night with Organic Cocktails >>
Music can conjure a lot of emotions and nostalgic feelings. For a relaxing, intimate Valentine's night "in" - have fun bringing back past memories with your loved one. You can each make a playlist on 8Tracks - a super fun site that allows you to create playlists others can then use. Decide that you're going to generate a list of the songs that remind each other most of the other, and then compare after they're complete! To add a little celebratory spirit, mix up one of Care2's tasty and organic cocktails to cheers to creating a new night of good sounds and refreshments.
2) Kitchen Love >>
Don't feel like going out to eat? Feel like breaking all the rules and eating dessert before dinner? Why not hang out at home and whip up some tasty vegan or organic desserts in the kitchen. Flip through some of these tasty vegan cupcake recipes, and get baking together. Quality time in the kitchen is always inspiring, and we can't deny - baking is always a little sexy. :)
3)
Fresh Air With Your Favorite Company >>
Getting outside, breathing fresh air, and getting some exercise always invigorates the mind and the soul. For your hearts day this year, organize an outdoor adventure with your Valentine. Pack some healthy snacks to keep your energy high, and enjoy the day exploring and soaking up the great outdoors with your favorite company by your side.
