What to pack for a Romantic Getaway..


Are you going on a Romantic Getaway this weekend for Valentine's Day? Looking for fashionable items to pack to help make sure you look sweet & cute? Read along for JSD's suggestions on what to pack for your Baecation!


Are you headed somewhere warm or tropical? Don't forget to pack a statement swimsuit piece! Pick something that is sexy but also covers the right parts to leave some room for imagination and anticipation. Crochet swimsuits are cute, flirty and fun! Don't forget to pack some sunscreen as well--sunburn isn't a sexy accessory!


Nothing says sexy or "Kiss Me" like a pop from red lipstick! Don't have a favorite red shade yet? Check out MAC's Ruby Woo, Chanel's Classic Pirate Lipstick or a variety of NARS shades at Sephora. For an extra pop, use NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella.


Going out for a night on the town? Or to a fancy French restaurant? Throw on a sexy backless dress with a pair of strappy heels! Men love women who can rock a pair of heels confidently and it gives your legs super definition!


A Romantic Getaway What to Pack list would not be complete without the perfect cosmetic must haves! Dior's Pure Poison perfume is sure to grab the attention of your other half with its bold scent. Give your nails a pop similar to your lips with a red color like OPI's California Raspberry or Dutch Tulips. Finish off the look with a Shimmery Gold Smokey eye! Nothing says seductress like these beauty must-haves!


There you have it! Our list of What to Pack for a Romantic Getaway. What are some items you think are perfect for a romantic weekend getaway?

Baecation Anyone?


With Valentine's Day approaching some may be thinking of spending the weekend with their other half. Want to get away for a short "Baecation"? Read along for some of our romantic getaway ideas!


1. Las Vegas

Las Vegas or "Sin City" has long been known for it's numerous casinos, energetic night-life and abundance of buffets-but Vegas can also be a romantic getaway for couples looking to reconnect.
Gondola ride at the Venetian

Visit the fabulous Venetian hotel, where you and your honeydew drop can take a romantic ride in one of the Gondolas! Make plans for a romantic dinner facing the Bellagio Fountains, plan a romantic kiss by the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel, or visit one of Vegas' many chapels! There are plenty of romantic things waiting for you in Vegas!

2. Napa Valley

Do you currently reside on the West Coast? Take a drive down to Napa Valley!
Napa Valley
With an abundance of vineyards and spa resorts, there will be plenty of QT for you and your better half. Book a weekend stay at one of the resorts, like the Milliken Creek Inn & Spa, and enjoy the amenities this 5 star resort has to offer. Take a Wine Tour at one of Napa's vineyards, and enjoy the scenery!

3. Disney World

Who said Disney World couldn't be both the happiest place on Earth and the most romantic place on Earth?!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World may be known for the top destination for children to live out their dreams, but it is also where Adults can find their happy endings! Looking for the perfect place to propose? Why not while the fireworks are over looking you at Magic Kingdom! Research all-inclusive resort deals and take your Cinderella (or Prince Charming) down to Orlando!

4. New York

We're pretty sure after #snowblizzard2016, New York is nowhere on your radar. But if you are a local resident of the Tri-State area looking for something to do in your own backyard, look into a Sleigh Ride!

Central Park
What could be more romantic than cuddling up next to your sugarplum in a horse drawn carriage? Spend this time reminiscing about the snow blizzard, and planning your next tropical vacation! Let the crisp air bring you closer than ever before--trust us, you will need to stay warm!



Well there you have it! Our short and sweet list of ideas for quick weekend getaways! What is your agenda for this Valentine's Day weekend?

PRICELINE: A TRAVELER'S FRIEND

Ever wanted to go on a quick LAST minute trip, but were afraid you wouldn't be able to find a decent price for flights? Well fret no futher my jet setters, Priceline may be just the site you're looking for when in need. 

Priceline advertises all the time they can help you negotiate your own price and I can honestly say the Name your Own Price tool really works! I was searching for a last minute flight to New Orleans for Fourth of July weekend, and all I kept finding were flights ranging from $375-425! With only 3 weeks left before my "unplanned-last-minute vacay" I decided to use Priceline. I used the name my own price tool and just played around with the price until VOILA!


The negotiator managed to shrink my flight price to $275 roundtrip! That's not bad for last minute! So if you're looking for GREAT flight (or even hotel) deals, try priceline.com and use the NAME YOUR OWN PRICE TOOL.  There are some key things to remember with using this tool:

* Be aware of what the average flight prices are when placing your bid--you don't want to bid too low or too high, you're trying to get the BEST price!
* You will have to put in your card information, but they will not charge you if your bid is not accepted! (Don't worry--my offer wasn't accepted on the first try and my card was not charged)
* You are not allowed to pick flight times or airline carriers when using this tool!


Give priceline.com a try next time you're looking for a last minute getaway!
