Early Valentine's

This year, Adrian had to work on Valentine's, so we decided to celebrate it a couple days early, when he had a day off.

The day started off work him getting up when Jaxson woke up and bringing him to bed for playtime and cuddles (our morning routine with him). Adrian would have let me sleep in a bit, but I decided instead I wanted to take this time while Adrian took care of Jaxson's breakfast to pamper myself a bit. So I tried a 3-Step Spring Cleaning Facial that I found on Crunchy Betty. Wow. It was fun, smelled good, and man, my face felt so clean and smooth and sparkly! I loved the routine and will definitely be doing it again.  It's a bit time consuming though, so I'd need to do it either when I know Jaxson's down for a good nap, or when Adrian's home. Luckily, Adrian was in full support of me pampering myself a bit! He even brought me coffee (with an ice cube so I could drink it right away because he knows I always burn my tongue!) in bed in a spill proof travel mug while I was lying down waiting for the egg white mask to dry!

This little routine was followed by an amazing Eggs Benny brunch while Jaxson went down for a well timed nap - Adrian's special occasion specialty! Every special occasion, he makes a different type of Eggs Benny/hollandaise! Today, he made a smoked gouda hollandaise with soft poached eggs (of course), honey mustard ham and avocado! Yum!

My amazing multi-tasking husband! Hollandaise just completed, honey mustard ham frying, water boiling and ready to drop the eggs!

Yum!!

My Valentine's gift to Adrian came in two parts. The first was less romantic... a really nice, new shower head because ours was beginning to spray in different directions and he was getting mad at it (no, really, he would yell at it). The second was another recipe I found on Crunchy Betty, a 3 ingredient body oil; honey, coconut oil, vanilla.

Mmm!

Well shaken concoction. 

I tripled the recipe, because it just seemed so little, and I'm glad I did because we ended up using all of it between the two of us. According to her, I believe you can use it as a lube, but I thought that would be sticky and messy, so I made it as a massage oil and we gave each other candlelit massages after Jaxson was asleep! The oil wasn't quite what I was expecting. I don't know if I just didn't heat it up enough, but it separated, so I had to stir it up really well before we used it. It did, however, smell and taste absolutely divine! As a massage oil, it wasn't the best. I think it would be great if you could keep it warn, but once it started to cool, it just got sticky. So, I wouldn't do it again, but it was still a very fun night!
