Happy Valentine’s Day! WHAT? If you woke up this morning with an “I’m in trouble feeling” because you forgot (perhaps not the first time?) that this is the big, red coated 24 hours of “let’s exclaim our feelings” day, here are a few quick ideas to get you back on redemption road.

I was astounded at the great deals and ideas at Whole Foods Market – from surf & turf deals ($14.99 for a NY Strip  & Lobster Tail combo) to two dozen beautiful (sustainably grown) roses for $19.99 and even adorable mini-rose bushes (my personal fave) for $4.99 each. The scrumptious looking organic strawberries and their delectable mini desserts are perfect for two this Valentine’s Day. With the economy not-so-thriving these days, more celebratory dinners will be taking place at home and I definitely encourage you to run by WFM to see what deals you can come by.

An interesting challenge my own mother took own was to purchase all of the V-Day gifts for my father at Walgreens. Yes, Walgreens. Apparently their commercials do actually work as they claimed you could find all of your heart day treats for your special someone, in one quick trip, at their stores. Of course, it goes without saying that finding your gifts in one spot, as opposed to driving across town, back and forth, is a great stride in being sustainable this holiday.

So, enjoy your V-Day celebration with sustainable stems & sustenance!
