I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with Valentine’s Day. I choose to celebrate love every day of the year, rather than the one mandated by Hallmark. As a holiday goes, it is one that the kids enjoy – getting candy, making valentines for friends and crushes – I enjoy witnessing that innocence. Valentine’s Day has become over commercialized and if I see one more stupid jewelry commercial I will blow a gasket. Who needs all that gaudy, heart shaped jewelry? Didn’t every woman in American just get some other piece of crap with a diamond or sparkle for Christmas? Didn’t every man go to Jared? Ugh… Let’s get the day over with.
For those that want to get out tomorrow on Valentine’s Day and do something a little different, join the Pink Ribbon Pinups at JC’s Northside Pub for a Valentine’s Celebration that does not include your normal treats. There are a couple contests that sound fun…my favorite is the one for Most Creative VooDoo Doll.
I moved to the Eastern Shore to enjoy a slower pace of life after spending several years working in fast-paced settings. Earning a BA from Towson University and an MA in Education from Loyola University provided me with the drive to progress in many business fields. My marketing career was paused as I began raising my children and chose to become a stay-at-home-mom. After a few years, I got the itch to once again enter the work force full-time. I began working as a Project Manager for D3Corp several years ago. As the Creative Director for Good Clean Fun Life, an arts and entertainment magazine online, I have had the opportunity to spread good vibes, promote entertainment, artists, and events across the Mid-Atlantic region. GCFL provides me with many opportunities to practice a few of my favorite hobbies: photography, socializing, and blogging.
