Step-By-Step Date Guide:
1. Make some drinks!
Our most frequented cocktail is the classic old-fashioned. We were inspired by the Netflix series "Drink Masters" for this cocktail! It's an Old-Fashioned with Orange "Air". If you're looking for something super unique with a classic flavor, you're going to love this recipe! Grab it here.
2. Start on dinner and/or snacks.
For this date we make one of our favorite apps, bacon wrapped stuffed dates! They're the perfect combo of salty & sweet. You can steal the recipe here!
3. Take A Fashion Class.
We love our Masterclass subscription! It's the best way to spend a night where you have no plans and don't want to watch another TV show.
During this part of the date, you can throw on the Tan France Masterclass episode. It's super informative! Regardless of your skill level, it's an awesome class for picking up some new tips.
4. Pick out a new outfit for your spouse.
You can adjust this part based on your preferences! We decided to each create a new outfit from things we already own. Pick an outfit for the other person to wear on your next date, and vise versa.
You could also pick a new outfit out online & order it for the other person! Or maybe just a new item you think they would like!
5. Go through the connection questions.
Putting phones away is super important during this portion of the date. All of this week's connection questions are listed at the bottom of this post!
