Hey Guys!!! Bienvenue to Cupid’s Café," where I bring you some cool & exciting Valentine’s Day-inspired aphrodisiac-based-recipes that’ll impress you, your boo, & loved ones!

Now of course Valentine’s Day falls on February 14th, however who says that we have to narrow things down to just the 1-day...?!? After-all, we should technically be celebrating love all day everyday, and so whose to judge those that make it a whole day, week, or even month-affair. Now if you’re up for the challenge for all day or all week, then you can send your beloved off to work with this healthy Valentine’s Day inspired treat. It’s a simple smoothie that I decided to elevate with a chic touch. I call it my Strawberry Smooches Smoothie XOXO; Read or watch-on while I show you how to make it! Andddd....I’ll be pairing it with what I call my Mon Cherie Love Letter Pastries in another blog post....Ya know...Cause some things cannot be described with just words alone, and so a love letter pastry seems to do just the trick in my opinion. Especially for this Taurus...So let’s seal it with a kiss! Pucker up Buttercup! Watch me make it here!

Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th to honor a martyr named Valentine and to celebrate love and romance. Now there are several legends revolving around this holiday...Some of them even gruesome, so I’ll spare you those details. Just know that our modern-day recognition of the holiday involves celebrating the love of your partner, friends, and/or family. I would go as far as to say even the love of self because I feel that that is truly important & you can’t properly give love if you don’t have love for self first & foremost.
