8 must watch movies for Valentine’s day – The bloggers league 2022

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. People are busy planning to have the perfect day and make it memorable for their partner.

Though we do say that we love our partners all throughout the year and it doesn’t need a single day to show that off, still the day has its significance and so does what you decide to do.

Even if it’s not a million dollar gift, a small gesture or an act of love will definitely make it more special to the both of you.

We still ain’t out of the pandemic, though we do have all the public places open to visiting, nothing is more enjoyable than making yourselves comfortable at home and getting the vibe going.

I’d suggest taking the day off spend the time just the two of you, doing things that you always wanted to. Sip in a coffee peacefully, making preparation for a good old meal at home of course one that has both your favorites, a nice warm shower and settle in for a good movie.

Here are my favorite picks which I hope you would also enjoy watching on Valentine’s day.

When Harry met Sally

Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan have been best remembered for their roles as Harry and Sally. The movie is proof that communication and humor definitely keeps your relationship going. Absolutely must watch for the realistic dialogues I’d say.

The notebook

Who will forget the iconic rain soaked kiss. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have shown palpable chemistry in this romantic classic where they’re separated by World War II and reunited later.

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Matthew McFadden and Keira Knightley version is definitely my favorite adaptation of the novel by Jane Austen. The humor, wit and not to forget to mention about the sexual tension between both leads makes it a great watch for Valentine’s day.

50 first dates

Am one of the die hard fans of Adam Sandler and his movies. This one with him and Drew Barrymore in the lead will absolutely take you on a laughter and a cry roller coaster ride. Imagine a veterinarian falling for someone who has short term memory loss. The movie will guarantee to take you through a varied range of emotions. He will definitely sweep you away in his exhaustive attempts to recreate the first date for her to remember.

You’ve got mail

Who will forget this evergreen movie. I remember this coming up on HBO’S movie list for every Valentine’s Day and also on romantic line ups. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks team up for another blockbuster. Being rival bookstore owners but unknowingly becoming email pen pals sounds an interesting plot doesn’t it?

Sleepless in Seattle

One more from Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks that makes its way to the valentines day watch list every year. Keeping you thinking ‘ will they or won’t they’ dance throughout the movie and especially for the sweet moment where Sam’s son calls up the radio station where Annie works to find a partner for his widowed father is too cute to not miss and remember when you see this title.

The proposal

I cannot count the number of times I’ve watched this movie over and over. Neither it has bored me nor the people who I’ve recommended this as well. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds make this one a hilarious and at the same time romantic. A must watch rom-com if you aren’t someone who loves cheesy romantic movies.

P. S. I love you

No Valentine’s Day is complete or comes to an end without thinking of this movie. If you’re a book lover like me this was one movie I loved the adaptation as well. Hilary Swank and Gerrard Butler take you on a tearjerker in this movie where Swank discovers motivating notes from her late husband.

Settle with some wine, scented candles, cozy rug and a remote control to enjoy this Valentine’s Day and you could also go on a movie marathon. Who wouldn’t like an all day lazing around with movies to watch, ordering in food and sipping some wine.

Valentine’s Day gifts for the makeup lover- sustainable gifting options

Ever since I posted about skincare or makeup products that harm the environment as part of my #causeachatter project last year, I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries on options that are alternatives and that are sustainable too.

Sustainable fashion has now become a trend everybody follows suit. Procuring or buying only what you want has made people take wise decisions when it comes to shopping. A lot of people have also considered picking up from thrift stores and also donating clothes to the same which they deem wouldn’t be of much use to them.

Gone are the days people raised eyebrows when you mentioned thrift store. Now that every tom, dick and harry has consented and following sustainability, it’s a sign that we are moving towards a cleaner planet.

So if fashion is sustainable, the next thing that should would be makeup and skincare . Brands have adopted strategies that make their production more versatile to save planet policies.

Not only brands consumers have also been able to make the switch after seeing the awareness and it’s benefits. They’ve started to be picky and choosy and most importantly particularly stress on clean beauty or sustainable beauty brands that they would want to purchase from.

With Valentine’s Day just right around the corner, here are some sustainable beauty gifting options for the makeup lover.

Reusable makeup cleansing pads/ makeup removal towels

Wipes have been a major contributor to pollution. With the fact that they are not degradable for over years it’s high time we make the switch to cleansing pads. These pads are reusable and also helpful in removing tough makeup.

Here are two of my favourites.

Magic cotton pads or removal pads

Quite often we also use wipes scented to keep the skin fresh. A pack of wet wipes is surely a constant in most women’s handbags. Now worry not as these cotton magic pads not only enrich your skin cause it has olive oil but also helps in makeup removal as well.

Dromen co – click here to buy

Blush sheets

As much as there is innovation in every field makeup industry doesn’t fall back as well. Instead of carrying a pouch with products and brushes here’s to just carrying an envelope. These blush sheets helps in fixing your makeup in one swipe. The sheet absorbs excess oil and makes skin appear fresh and supple.

Green beauty or clean makeup

Brands on the quest for making makeup products safe also lead to a lot of products that deliver maximum results and are great on the skin. Cruelty free, toxin free and environmental safe products are being produced and here’s to sharing my favorite brand. Daughter earth is my recent find and I’d definitely recommend.

Lip and cheek tints – click here to buy

Cleansing balm

Last but not least, the makeup remover category has been my recent obsession. I’ve been discovering new products that help make the process easier. Mine being a combination skin oil cleansing to remove does not always work 100% for me. I’m sure many would face the problem too. That’s when you use a cleansing balm that helps make the process of makeup removal much easier. These balms blend well and help in removing makeup much easily. Sharing two of my favorites here.

A little self gifting doesn’t hurt so ladies why wait, gift yourselves this season cause we’re worth it.

Also gifting options that are a sustainable choice ensures that you think about the environment as well.
