Buenas Noches beautiful people, or should I say good morning and Honey I'm home!
Happy Valentine's day to all of you lovers out there who celebrate this beautiful day of romance and passion (I say this sitting in my pyjamas with the pissing rain outside). Not a massive fan of the holiday myself with the floods of girls cramming my Facebook/Twitter/every other social network feed with how much 'more in love' they are with their boyfriends than you are with yours obviously (like any of us could really care...and to be frank most of our boyfriends are in fact better than yours).
This V-Day I am one extremely lucky girl as not only have I got myself a hot date (yes, I'm referring to my rad ass boyfriend here), but I'm actually getting to spend the evening with him this year! My first Valentine's Day with C was as follows - me sending him cupcakes in Aberdeen and him sending me a gorgous bouquet of flowers in the city that never stops raining, Glasgae (that's Glasgow for you non-Scot's). This year we are painting the town red and hitting a great restaurant called Number 1 Bar and Grill. Pretty excited about this as I'm a massive fan of date night not only because it usually involves a lot of cocktails, but also because we usualy pick some extremely tasty places to eat.
Valentine's Day can always be one of those awkward holidays with the question usually being "Will I or won't I?". If you're stuck on the fence of "will I do something for Valentine's Day?" Then let me change you're mind.
Reason 1:
Orchid Cocktail Bar Aberdeen
One word...WOW. If you've got a taste for something different and unique yet extremely satisfying this is the place to go. Situated round the back of Soul Bar and Casino in Aberdeen's town centre you will find this beauty hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Union Street. The bar and waiting staff will look after you from the minute you step into the bar to the minute you walk out. With a wide range of cocktails masterfully created by owner Ben Iravani and his staff for all tastes, I guarantee there will be at least a few handfuls of cocktails you'll be dying to try. If you're some what of a creature of habit and don't see something that takes your fancy get chatting with one of the bar staff and they will happily come up with something your guaranteed to enjoy!

Reason 2:
Granite Park
Just two weeks ago I made a reservation to treat my favourite person to a spectacular meal, and boy was it spectacular. From the outstandingly professional service to the impeccable presentation of the food, not to mention the flavours, it was all too good to be true. Granite Park, a little piece of heaven located just off of Union Street is a restaurant that I recommend every Aberdonian and anyone who visits Aberdeen, to go and try for themselves. A romantic dining experience yet with a room full of life, gave the perfect atmosphere to our dining experience. Valentine's Day (for some) is all about treating their other half and at Granite Park, you are bound to impress that special someone.
(I would highly recommend the confit belly of pork to start and both the Scottish chicken breast and Fillet steak were cooked to perfection). Bon Appetite!

Reason 3:
Cupcakes By Jo
If you're really not a fan of going out and fancy a night in with that special someone I have a dessert for you that a lot of people in Aberdeen would kill to get their hands on...
Cupcakes have always been a weakness of mine and when I met my now good friend Jo, I didn't quite know what I was getting myself in for. Cupcakes By Jo, the Queen of cupcakes, is a must for you're special someone this Valentines Day. Why buy chocolates when you can buy adorable cupcakes that can even come with a personalised message all baked and packaged with love by Cupcakes By Jo, owner Jo Gale. The perfect gift this Valentines Day and is perfect for any other special occasions or even just a cheeky treat to finish off a good day perfectly. Jo's cupcakes are 100% going to leave you wanting more with her huge range of flavours and her printable icing toppers, there is nothing quite like these cupcakes in the North-east...
